The bug
Flowing water pushes the player even in fyling mode in creative. This is very annoying. This is a very old bug, this bug exists at least since the better together update. Water is supposed to not push you when flying. Bubble columns also donβt push you when flying, but water does. When MCPE-75124 gets fixed, lava will probably also be affected. This does also not happen on java edition and legacy console edition.
How to reproduce:
Dig a hole in an ocean
Fly down to it and make sure to be in flying mode
β The water pushs you even though you are flying.
Another way to reproduce:
Place a water source
Get inside the flowing water and make sure to be in flying mode
β The water will push you despite flying.
Affects 1.17.10, 1.17.11 Hotfix, & 1.17.30.20 Beta
Lava indeed pushes creative players while flying in 1.17.30.20 Beta.
Consider adding these labels: water, lava, liquid, moving.
