This site is for bug reports only. Feature and improvement suggestions are not currently being tracked here.

if water has an animation, just like in the pc version and xbox version. and lava has an animation in the pc version and xbox version. do you think it is intended that the flowing animation doesn't occur?

Can't compare the different versions. None of them will be the same.

Maarten Thijs 2013-02-06T19:35:00Z

and that is a valid reason for saying this is not a bug? do you believe this is intended?

In general, improvements to media assets are just that – "improvements." We no longer track suggested improvements or features here, only bugs.

Maarten Thijs 2013-02-07T14:34:56Z

okay, we're going to act this way?
so according to you
https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MCPE-55 is not a bug because it is a request for multiplayer improvement.
https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MCPE-992 is not a bug because it is a request for gameplay/ai improvement
https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MCPE-204 is not a bug because it is a request for world generation improvement
https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MCPE-262 is not a bug because it is a request for gameplay/controls improvements

I could go on like this for a while, but I think you get my point here. if those are not marked as invalid, then neither should this one

Resolved MCPE-55 and MCPE-262 as invalid, thanks. I believe MCPE-204 may be the result of a bug (an off-by-one error, see my comment on that ticket). I believe that MCPE-992, while not worded as a bug, may also be the result of a bug. I've tested it at length and mobs seem incapable of moving through deep water; I cannot imagine that this behavior is intended.

Keep in mind that when these tickets were filed, feature and improvement suggestions were also being tracked for MCPE, and they would occasionally get misreported as bugs. There was no reason to close them at that time, since they would have been acceptable as non-bugs.

If you think the behavior described in this ticket is the result of a bug, please explain what the bug is. Is there an animated lava texture included in the game, but it fails to animate? If that's the case, maybe it's a bug. If there's no animated lava texture, it's a potential improvement to media assets, not a bug.

If you find anything else, please let me know.
