@Meg, any info as to how I can get Minecraft on the play store now that they basically "took" my 7 dollars without giving me the actual game?
This bug seems to have been resolved in 1.18. Requires further testing for full confirmation.
My brief testing indicates this happens when you load into a world. Saving and quitting simply "primes" up the bug.
Yes, we're installing the Amazon App Store on Android.
Noticed it happening once more in 1.17.0 and 1.17.1
Used to flash red
It now flashes black, indicating direct correlation between the loading screen colors and this.
It is very hard to intentionally reproduce this bug, however, I have seen this happen and I was lucky to be able to document this bug for once.
I know that I am not a moderator but I would recommend putting some footage of this happeneing.
This happens when intercepting his leads
This does not happen all the time. There is a small chance that this will occur. I know this because this has only happened once in 1.16.201 after hundreds of times using the same portal with the same chests.
I can confirm: this is still happening in 1.16.201
Most likely reason behind this issue: since windows 11 supports downloading android apps via the Microsoft Store powered by the Amazon App Store, letting Minecraft be sold on there would give players a cheaper alternative as Minecraft for Android costs about $7, and Minecraft for Windows costs about $27. This is not a bug, it's intentional.
