[MCPE-1815] Nether Reactor Spawns No Items

I built my Nether Reactor just like normal, but this time, I had it one block off the ground. I expected it to react like normal. I activated it, then mined 3 of the 4 gold blocks, like I always do. Then, I removed the active core, like I used to in 0.5.0 and 0.6.0. Usually, it still spawns items for the usual 45 seconds, then I mine my way out. But this time, nothing ever spawned. I mined out and left without any drops. 0.6.0 is the first update to do this for me.

Can you reproduce this behaviour when building the reactor one block off the ground and does it behave normally if you build it on the ground ?

I am unsure if the height is affecting the reactor or not, and will be unable to test it until I have found more gold.

This seems to be intentional... removing the core during the reaction ends the reaction.

I would agree with you, but it has never stopped the reaction previous to the 0.6.1 update.

Sami, that's why I'm assuming the change was intentional... the old behavior was considered a bug, so the new behavior is probably a response to that.

Ok, that makes not sense. Thanks for clarifying!
