    Description

      The bug

      When a liquid gets randomly ticked, it flows. That seems strange, since flow should always be predictable. To illustrate this, here is a gif of this behavior with 300 random tick speed: http://gfycat.com/NiftyInnocentElver
      Notice the flow being uneven throughout, whereas a random tick speed of 0 is completely even:

      (Actually, there is a slight inconsistency to the right, but I believe that's a separate issue).

      How to reproduce

      In order to see the effects, run /gamerule randomTickSpeed 1000 and place some water or lava. Note that this behavior can still happen at the default random tick speed, it's just unlikely and difficult to see.
