Non-player entities teleport to the void when transported from the End to the Overworld

Affects 1.19.22.

Further info: All^{[Citation needed]} mobs snap to 512 upon relogging. This appears to be the case for any mob in any instance, not just as a result of this bug. Consequently, every mob that takes fall damage will die when they hit the ground, with perhaps the exception of the warden, depending on how soon you relog. The only workaround for non-shulkers is to place water or slime blocks on the ground. Shulkers might be obtainable through elaborate TNT launchers, but this is extremely difficult if not impossible.

Fun fact: It takes about 200 seconds for a chicken to fall from y=512 to y=64. Flying mobs may take much longer to come back down. Pets should teleport to you as soon as you load the chunks.

This bug was introduced sometime between 1.19.0 & 1.19.10, per my testing. In 1.19.0, mobs were being properly teleported according to the terrain.

testing 1.19.30 this bug still exists unfortunately.  I have a creative copy of my realm and mobs are still appearing at y level 500 something.  if they fell like normal mobs I could fly up and catch them in water but they simply float in the air unmoving.  

@runawaycow2 Could you provide a screenshot or clip of them not moving/falling? I haven't seen that happen yet.

Here is a clip showing shulker stuck at Y=512, they open, make sounds, but do not teleport or fall even if you hit them. Clip was made in 1.19.30

They do not fall under normal circumstances, but the reason they don't teleport is due to not having anywhere to pathfind & no valid spot to teleport to. I'm wondering if (other than shulkers) other mobs that would be important to transport are unable to fall, because that would either be another bug or more reason to look into this one.

here is the whole process. I’ve also got video of the shulker stuck at y500. That one must be the one sent earlier. I’ve  sent them through multiple times and it seems in either 19.10 or 19.20 the y value changed from 500 to 32767

what is the most strange/frustrating is that I was able to get 2 into the over world, then an update happened and I’m unable to get any more

It's been 32767 for a while. When you relog, all entities get "pushed" down to 512. As far as I know, it's impossible to keep anything above 512 in a save. Try logging out & back in.

Ive been trying to use minecarts to try and get them to teleport inside of the shulkers, and bring them down that way. They will sometimes go through, sometimes dissappear forever. Some spawn at the floor like theyre supposed to. I was walking by spawn a week later and an empty one just fell from the sky. Super weird stuff.

Still exists in 19.40. I’ve now got 4 shulkers floating up at 512. Really hoping this gets patched so I can load shuckers into my overworld farm 

Finding this very annoying as I try to start building my overworld shulker farm. Has anyone found a way to get them down to the ground in survival?

I did some testing with sending minecarts through, ended up with minecarts scattered up to ~300 blocks from spawn. I cant say my testing was reliable, but may be worth looking into. Please let me know if you can get anything to work

I hope someone’s working on this because I haven’t seen much progress. Not the most detrimental bug in the game right now, but I sure hope it doesn’t fly under the radar.

Can confirm in Windows 10 1.19.50 for Shulkers. Replicated the bug on a fresh Creative world. In my testing, executing /setworldspawn in the Overworld "fixes" the issue; Shulkers sent through the End fountain afterwards will appear at the appropriate Y-level (this "fix" persists after relogging and works for sending a Shulker through when the world spawn is already occupied by another Shulker).

1.19.51 Nintendo Switch

Pretty sure this happened to my mule. I wanted to bring as many items as possible in the 1st End trip of that world. Didn't see him anywhere when exiting the portal together (separately).

Guess he's stuck somewhere in the sky at world spawn or somewhat close to the portal, while being in the sky lol.

1.19.50 Windows 11

Just encountered the same issue on my survival realm. After sending three shulkers to the overworld, I found them all at the same location at spawn with y=512.
I hope this will be fixed soon, as the bug makes it impossible to use my freshly build shulker farm.

I have also encountered this issue and have found a solution until the bug gets fixed, there's 2 ways 1 use the setworldspawn command, 2 for pure survival worlds send a boat through the end portal and then you go through, the boat will spawn with the shulkers pick them up and then fall all the way down it'll take about 25-30 minutes so just go afk at your spawn, MAKE SURE THERE IS WATER ALL OVER YOUR SPAWN SO THEY DONT DIE OF FALL DAMAGE 

Ok i am now no longer able to get a shulker through the end gateway, is anyone else having issues with this portal aswell?

We encountered the same issue but found seemingly an extravagant workaround. What we tried (first successful in creative, then almost successful on the Realm): we build a TNT cannon to shoot an empty Minecart from almost max. buildlevel up to the Shulker where it sits on 512 (must be exactly below the shulkers position). The Minecart will catch the Shulker and fall with the passenger to a prepared platform (at max. buildlevel) with rails on it for soft landing but then in survival we forgot to close the hole of the TNT cannon - wich is important because the Shulkercart will land at the exact same coords from where it sat above. And our Minecart with the Shulker somehow landed there half besides the rail and it died (in creative all went well, it landed at the closed hole and survived). Now we struggle to get new shulkers to the overworld - they were sent through the portal but did not come down to 512 yet. I will update you after the next possible try. More info: Our Level from where we shot the TNT is 312 and we used 5 pieces of TNT dispendes through 5 different dispensers. 4 Pieces were just a little bit to few, more than 5 were too high and it did not work. We tested slimeblocks for the landing as well but the bouncing was weird and it bounced off the edge and died. So... sorry for the open ending but maybe you could start to work with that instructions and will be more lucky with shulkers arriving at 512.

Edit: finally a new shulker arrived in the sky and it worked exactly as described above 😃

by default, world spawn is set at y = 32767, so the game probably doesn't make sure that entities spawn on solid blocks

(Used Universal Minecraft Editor to view the world files)

I am able to get a shulker into the overworld by sending it through the exit portal and then sending an empty minecart through after it. The minecart catches the shulker and the shulker falls to the ground, it can be saved by placing rails at world spawn. My problem is that when I break the minecart the shulker teleports back to y level 32767 or 512. If anyone is aware of a fix to my problem please let me know.

Has anyone found a way to get the shulkers to the the ground? If so, how?

Found a workaround that takes a lot less time. Send a shulker through the portal, and then send a minecart through. Have a platform of rails to catch the minecart in the overworld at world height, jump through the portal and immediately relog. Shulker appeared on rails by the time I could fly up.

I found out today that this issue is present in 1.19.81 on Nintendo Switch. Hope this gets fixed soon so no other horses have to suffer the same fate.

I'd also like overworld shulkers to be enemies in a cool sky build I'm working on, but they got stuck at 512 like others have said.

This problem persists at 1.19.83,This greatly affects the gaming experience.😞

It's been an year since this report was made . They released 1.20 just now but can't fix an year old bug.

Sending an empty minecart through with the shulker works but make sure the minecart has no horizontal momentum. Place the minecart on a rail above the portal then break the block beneath it. Do not push the minecart or use powered rails. The minecart must fall straight down into the portal, otherwise the shulker will miss the landing pad and die. If the minecart falls straight down only a single rail is required at world spawn. If the shulker is not there when you return to the overworld just wait a few days. It will fall down eventually.

Affects Latest beta/preview 1.20.40.22, and latest release 1.20.30

Mobs and blocks moving through the exit portal are effectively deleted when playing in survival. 
This is a seriously game breaking bug. Being the most effective way to get mobs back to world centre from long distance. It is disappointing to see this has gone unfixed for so long. 

How on earth such issue is unfixed for so long. This is crucial in many things like moving easily cold frogs into overworld (affecting also froglight farms) or creating shulker shell farms in overworld. And is unfixed for almost two years!!! Some silly teleporting issue... I am so frustrated from minecraft bugs after moving from java to bedrock that it's actually unreal... Not talking again about bugs coming with updates which break the previously working features! I don't get how such a project can have sooo unstable testing infrastructure which is simply not able to guarantee the further functioning of functioning things. I am so sad and depressed from this bedrock bughell...

The duplicates say it’s fixed, but it isn’t this bug still exists!

Resolved does not mean fixed. What matters is its resolution.

Yeah had the same issue when transporting shulkers to the overworld on ps4 single player. A tutorial online said to get boats to fall straight down into the portal after the shulkers and they do eventually fall down with the shulkers in them. Also put a water bucket down at the world spawn for them to fall into. This does take a long time though and I think I found flying out of the area and back, going into the end and back again and exiting and going back into the world did help. Or afk in the area

This also Happens to the Dragon egg

Confirmed in 1.21.60.21 

How high a priority is this bug? I feel like fixing it wouldn't be that hard given that player teleports normally.

P.S. This bug is really blocking, please fix. Dragon egg is just gone, shulker farm can't be created in the overworld, not to mention that all my horses are forever stuck in the end dimension under threat of execution by gravity in case they ever to return to the overworld. I was waiting for the issue to be fixed since 1.19.20

We made test on Bedrock 1.21.51 Xbox and can confirm that no shulker arrives at spawn point.
But also no Items are arriving at spawn point.
It's like everything is deleted or at least lost...

The “fix” in 1.21.60 has made it worse, they now teleport to Y-64 if there is room, else they teleport to Y-80 below build limit.

This bug also occurs on Android 14 devices and in version 1.21.62, only as ScottishKevin says, now instead of thousands of blocks up, they are teleported to the void of the Overworld.
