I just lost my hardcore world due to this.  In previous versions, playing vanilla survival, I could drop one piece of scaffolding any height and drop onto it with no damage whatsoever. I counted on the safety of scaffolding in my hardcore world without realizing that it had become bugged, or changed, at some point.  

I created a test world, flat world, and placed a 3x3 platform of scaffolding.  Next to it, I towered up with scaffolding to varying blocks of height above the platform.  In this test world, you take damage falling onto scaffolding beginning at 20 blocks height, and no damage from 19 blocks or fewer. 

I have attached this test world. 

To clarify, when the new selection is made on the hotbar, the previous selection remains in the hand. I think it only started happening for me (iPhone SE3, iOS 15.4.2) after the 1.18.30 update, but I can’t be certain. It escalated from mildly annoying to deadly yesterday when I was attacked by a pack of hoglins, and ended up bashing them with a sea lantern instead of the sharpness V netherite sword I had showing as selected.  I wasn’t sure how to reproduce the bug, thinking it was intermittent, until seeing this report, so now I at least know to try standing still before switching items (although that can still be deadly). 

This is also affecting bubble columns, with some unexplained exceptions.  iOS 15.4.2, SE3. Adding a video clip of a frozen bubble column. 

My issue was closed as a duplicate of this, although I believe they are different issues. I have been experiencing the issue of this report here since 1.17, but when I updated to 1.17.34, it went nuclear.  I lost literally every entity except one named villager.  Dozens of cows in a pen, gone. Dozens of sheep in another pen, gone. Chickens in another pen, gone. Horses, gone. Pet cats, gone. Cured villagers, gone. Minecarts with hoppers, gone.  

I went to start replacing the livestock, first.  Penned a cow, decided to test whether it saved.  Using the app on iOS, in all the years I’ve been playing, I’ve only ever had to close the app for everything to save.   This time, I close the app, and reenter to an empty pen. So I corralled another cow (three in a group this time) and put then in a pen. Tried Save & Quit instead of just exiting the app, then reentered, and the cows were still there.  After having saved them through these means, I again quit the game by closing the app. Reentering, the cows, previously saved, are gone.  

This is disastrous.  I spent countless hours arranging and corralling these entities, and it’s all wiped out. And even if I rebuild it all, now I can’t even depend on them being there because it will only take one instance of the app being (accidentally) closed to wipe everything out again. 

Please review and reopen MCPE-144208. It is almost certainly an new and different issue than this one. 

UPDATE: And now my one named villager who was sleeping in a bed has disappeared when it turned daytime.  Also, my named skeleton horse. It is now literally every single entity gone. Hell this is disheartening.  

You can remove them from inventory by suicide. That’s what I did to get them off my hotbar. Just use up your xp enchanting or whatever, empty your inventory of everything (don’t forget your armor!), and take yourself out in the fashion you prefer. I chose drowning, but you can choose something more exotic, like jumping from the height limit, or encasing yourself in an obsidian box and lighting TNT.

Updating my above comment:

I simply used up my XP and then drowned myself to get them out of my hotbars. So the issue is able to be worked around as long as the nests aren’t in an ender chest or shulker box. I guess I’ll just collect new bee nests when the issue is fixed.

I also have this issue and didn’t realize it until today when I went to move my two bee nests. I noticed they were stuck in their chest slots a few days ago, but planning on moving my base, I figured when I broke the chest everything would be fine. Now, the problem is even worse, because when I was shifting contents, I was operating with an empty hotbar and inventory, so upon breaking the chest with the bee nests, the two of them ended up on my hotbar, and are now stuck there! They cannot be placed, moved or thrown. I am pretty much dead in the water with this. I need those two hotbar slots to actually play.

Background for my issue: I collected the bee nests with silk touch axe within the past two months, and they were certainly movable before, so one of the updates over that time has caused this. I have never placed them in an ender chest or shulker box. They went from being mined to my inventory to a double chest. They were moved around within the double chest before the update that locked them. One other note that I don’t see in the comments is that when I am holding one, I can open doors but the door sound doesn’t play. I cannot open chests while holding them. When I try to place them, they briefly appear in the position I place them, then pop right back to my hotbar.

I am playing on iOS.

Please help me fix this. It is a survival world that has never had cheats enabled, and I really hope there is a fix that won’t require me to break the world by enabling cheats.
