Bugs

  • Entering an exit End Portal will cause the player to spawn in an Overworld void with an empty inventory, and the game crashes after the player hits an invisible floor. This void looks the same as the one a PC player sees when teleporting to unexplored land (the blue blankness before the world resolves) however if the player is in creative and flies (thus never hitting the invisible floor) the world never resolves no matter how long the player waits. So essentially going to The End in TU13 renders that map unusable.

  • When sprinting in a cave 1 block wide, the player sometimes goes through the block,
  • When you fall off of a tall building and exit the world as you fall rejoining will make the player deal no damage while the fall comes to an end.
  • Magma cubes rarely drop any magma cream upon death
  • Arrows from a bow cannot activate wooden buttons.
  • Piston texture is partially glitched, and can reduce your redstone performance.
  • When farming animals they sometimes get sucked into the ground or in the fence.
  • When a player is killed by the impact of a fire charge from a dispenser the death message reads:"{playername} was fireballed by"
  • You can see chests through walls when approaching a building.
