@monster, I'm not sure how to implement that workaround.
@Kuma, the cloned command blocks execute the command they are given again. However, if I put a button directly on the block, it does not. If this is something that works as intended, ok.
It's only supposed to copy once. This video shows what happens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WCc-Ij-c_4
As of 1.5pre still happening.
I confirm it for 13w10a as well. It's a obvious bug to even a casual player becuase it happens even if there are blocks between the clouds and the block being mined.
This seems similar to mine. The game also wrongly identified my client as modded, making me report this manually.
