I tried several versions and 1.8.9 and under did the same thing as the OP. Versions 1.9 and up worked.

This is not the only command I used I tried changing the facing and item nbt's but got rid of them just in case I was formatting it incorrectly.

Still an issue as of 1.8.6 ugh I hope they fix this soon

It's not a dupe, in Minecraft 1.8.1-pre1, 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 it works, but in 1.8.4 and 1.8.5 it dosen't, wtf and I came across that post while searching and saw that too

Confirmed running at the Default, out of the box Mojang set minecraft settings, on Minecraft 1.8, 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 1.8.3, 1.8.4, 1.8.5

Still an issue, we have to go to .minecraft\server-resource-packs to see the server resource packs

Affected versions: 1.8.5

Temporary solution is to continue using Minecraft 1.8 to play on 1.8.x servers

yeah I can confirm that this is still an issue in minecraft 1.8.4

Ah, ok I'll do that. I just assumed it was running a compatible version

This issue exists in a way more severe form in 15w14a, not that 15w14a matters, just goes to show that if this isn't fixed it will only get worse as new stuff is added

awesome! anyway I reverted back to 1.8.0 (the most stable for me) and my preformance and everything else is bliss, it's like a night and day comparison, no lag, no bugs, etc. Hopefully that snapshot gets written off and forgotten about. I would hate to see the next version of mc have all those bugs that the snapshot has.

Anyway i'm back on 1.8 and 1.8 is 10000 times better! it's not without a couple quirks too which already exist in open issues but i'm thankful to find this out

And yes 1.8.3 is also an affected version

I can confirm this

This video basically explains it all, for some odd reason in minecraft 1.8 if you have your settings maxed out your game will refuse to finish "downloading terrain" the solution is to turn your render distance down into the normal range
Here is what the launcher says while minecraft gets stuck on "downloading terrain"
[17:10:51] [Server thread/INFO]: Scanning folders...

at this point the client screen displays "downloading terrain" and starts playing in game music

at this point you get let into the game and all you see is a world with nothing in it, see the first screenshot

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point you finally get taken into a playable world.
on slower less powerful computers the JVM itself will just crash

ALL THE SAND that falls through goes straight to the overworld

THIS HAS BEEN RESOLVED, I repeat this is no longer an issue as of Minecraft 1.8.3 🙂

Yes this is still a concern in Minecraft 1.8.3

confirmed in Minecraft 1.8.3

Ugh, ok. Looks like this is another suggestion to Mojang then

I know you guys are swamped with issues right now, so that's why I held off on reporting this for as long as I did, but I would just like to bring it to attention. In the old Minecraft sound system playing a record would stop any other music that was playing if I remember correctly. This doesn't happen in any new version of Minecraft that has the new sound system implemented

Sorry about the late response, I'll do that shortly
