Yes I perhaps should have made it clear that when my daughter died in the game it was not for any reason, just found herself back at spawn with no stuff and I found myself back in the boat, but with all my stuff.
I've found LAN play to be much more flaky in 0.11.1. I'm seeing more lag, and also when re-joining a LAN game sometimes the person on the device that isn't owning the game comes back at spawn with no items saved. That's probably another bug report though 🙂
Just experienced this playing a lan game with my daughter. She on a Samsung s3, me on a note 4. Both at latest android available from EE (s3 kit kat, note 4 lollipop). Both mcpe 0.11.1
We had earlier in the session both been in the same boat. I got out as it was hard to row with her in back. We then went adventuring and some time and quite a distance later she died and respawned losing all her stuff. I was teleported back to the boat. Very annoying.
update; if your standing next to the torch when it breaks it will pick it up.
but if its resting on the ground after being broken it wont.
also if you have a few of them resting on the ground that you cant pick up and you place a torch on them and replicate my first point, it will not only pick up that torch but all the others with it.
