16w42a: If I shoot at about "eye level" or higher, arrows behave normally: they hit objects and mobs, and arrows can be retrieved from where they land.

If I shoot into the boat or at a low angle into the water, arrow disappears. Once I took damage. More often, I heard a splash. However, I was able to shoot arrows at higher levels later without having to leave the game.

I discovered that I could fire an arrow into the water, with my boat at the shore and facing away from shore, and the arrow would disappear, but an arrow would immediately return to my inventory. This would happen consistently as long as my back was toward the shore. If I faced left or right, it wouldn't happen.

Yes, this is still an issue. I ran 15w47c and did some test explosions. The blast area is still smaller, like it appears in the image "After-TNT-1.8.3.jpeg"

This issue is corrected in 15w44b.

Yes, this issue is fixed in the recent snapshots.

I had been teleporting when the problem occurred as well.

Arrows still disappear when shot from a boat in 15w36c. However, I noticed a change in the behavior since I last tested this.

In the past, after firing an arrow from within a boat, I would hear the sound of the arrow hitting a target and sometimes would take damage, most frequently when the bow was enchanted. Also, the boat would wobble and could get destroyed. None of this is happening now.

This just happened to me on 15w35e. There's a desert temple with an enchanted book with no specific enchantment.

To find the temple, travel into the desert, staying to the right of the sun. When you pass a desert fountain, you are close.

Still happening in 14w34a. One difference from before, possibly trivial, is that sometimes I take damage when firing an unenchanted bow. Previously, only an enchanted bow did this.

Still happening in 14w30b. I noticed something else: It was night during this test, and when I used my enchanted bow from within the boat, the boat would wobble as usual, but also become brighter, as if it was out in daylight. When the wobbling stopped, the boat would become dark again.

I never tested at night before, so this could be an issue in earlier versions too.

Just want to report that this is still happening in 14w28b (the snapshot released on July 10). It's unchanged from what I reported on May 25.

In creative mode:

• When using an unenchanted bow, arrows will not fly, and there is a sound effect of them hitting about a second later. (Twice, an arrow seemed to fly and strike some tree leaves, but it disappeared immediately after hitting. I could never get that to happen after those two times.)

• When using an enchanted bow, same as above, but the boat also wobbles and may disappear back into inventory.

In survival mode:

• When using an enchanted bow, same as above, but I also take damage as if hit by the arrow.

Yes, this is still happening in version 14w21b with launcher 1.4.4. When I shot at items on shore, I would hear the arrow land a moment after firing, but it would not hit what I was aiming at. I was using a bow with no enchantments.

When I switched to an enchanted bow (Power IV/Unbreaking III/ Flame I), my boat would wobble when shooting, as if I was hitting it with my fist. If I shot enough arrows, the boat would disappear and return to my inventory. I would also occasionally take damage.

I no longer hear the "crackling fire" sound effect when firing.

Samuel: I test-fired several dozen arrows, in creative and survival modes. I made certain to fire at upward angles to avoid the boat.

In survival mode, arrows depleted but did not seem to hit the nearby shore. I could hear the "thwunk" sound effect that an arrow makes when you dig the ground from underneath it. I also heard the "crackling fire" sound effect. Sometimes, I would experience arrow damage.

In creative mode, I could hear the "cracking fire" effect. Arrows did not deplete, and I did not take damage.

This happened to me in 14w11b. I can aim, pull back the arrow, and fire, which removes one arrow from inventory. But the arrow doesn't seem to fly, hit anything, or come to rest in a target block.

This just happened to me in 14w11b. I was riding a boat into Soul Sand when I died with the "fell from a high place" message.
