As far as I can tell, the root cause of this seems to be seaweed and kelp blocks not acting like air blocks rather than water blocks.
Care to explain how this "works as intended?" It doesn't make sense to me for it to be intentional, considering that skeletons attack using a projectile...
The issue has been updated with my new findings.
It's most definitely the latter. As far as I can tell, only /gamerule is affected by the bug.
So it turns out the bug as originally reported was worse than i thought. The crash actually occurs with ANY gamerule command where the gamerule contains uppercase characters. For example, /gamerule mobGriefing will result in a crash, while /gamerule mobgriefing will not. Should I open a new issue for this?
Confirmed after only one try. I looked at my crash report, and it said something about a stack overflow.
This happened to me too. (13w41a)
I can't update my Java since I don't know the admin password.
The link is broken (spelling error in address) (EDIT: not anymore :O)
To get your Java version, type the following into Terminal:
java -version
BTW This also happens with stairs.
I'm using the English US language pack.
