 Description   

The 3rd person view reverts to 1st person view when player's head is moved inside a block (e.g. while riding a minecart around corners) or a block is moved by piston or setblock at the place of player's head


To Reproduce
  1. Go into F5 (3rd person) mode
  2. Clip your head inside a solid block (doesn't matter how long you clip) using one of various methods:
    • Ride a horse under a 2-block tall gap
    • Ride a minecart around a corner in a 1-block wide trench/tunnel
    • Do /setblock where your head is
    • Suffocation traps
    • Anything else you can think of
  3. You would expect that when you are no longer inside the block, you would return to 3rd person mode
  4. Instead, you are left in 1st person mode

This still happens on my Xbox 360 lol

Comment by husky2490 [ 29/Sep/16 ]

just realized this was fixed last year

Comment by husky2490 [ 29/Sep/16 ]

No. The way I see it, showing the texture of the block you're in is intended by the devs but it leaves your view in 1st person mode and is sometimes triggered aggravatingly often; this is by a fault on the part of either the devs, the player or some combination of the two.

Comment by Greg Milson [ 23/Sep/16 ]

Wouldn't this be cheating when it is fixed because when you do it you can see caves and stuff.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 08/Feb/16 ]

Thanks, done,

Comment by husky2490 [ 08/Feb/16 ]

I think the description should be updated to avoid confusion. E.g.,

To Reproduce
  1. Go into F5 (3rd person) mode
  2. Clip your head inside a solid block (doesn't matter how long you clip) using one of various methods:
    • Ride a horse under a 2-block tall gap
    • Ride a minecart around a corner in a 1-block wide trench/tunnel
    • Do /setblock where your head is
    • Suffocation traps
    • Anything else you can think of
  3. You would expect that when you are no longer inside the block, you would return to 3rd person mode
  4. Instead, you are left in 1st person mode
Comment by Sam Bone [ 07/Feb/16 ]

Well, not permanently, but, yes. If it was permanent, it would not let you go back to F5 mode.

Comment by Sam Bone [ 07/Feb/16 ]

Related to MC-30845.

Comment by [Mojang] Grum (Erik Broes) [ 09/Nov/15 ]

Missed that code in the bucket of irrelevant other code it was in! Changed.

Comment by [Helper] MichaƂ [ 09/Nov/15 ]

True, should be reopened. Camera IS NOT projecting as far as it can after leaving a block. It is in first person view even whet it was in third before entering a block.

Comment by KingSupernova [ 09/Nov/15 ]

That's not what the report is referring to Grum. The bug is that when the player's head goes into a block, the camera reverts to 1st person mode permanently. Once the head is free, it's still in 1st person mode.

Comment by [Mojang] Grum (Erik Broes) [ 09/Nov/15 ]

Camera projects as far back as it can, if it cannot, it does not.

Comment by Caty Lawren [ 08/Nov/15 ]

15w45a, and way more easily noticeable with the new Elytra. Flying into a wall that has a one-tall hole, and hitting that hole, will cause you to instantly go to first-person view. Really annoying.

Comment by 19Spleen [ 05/Nov/15 ]

Confirmed for 15w45a

Comment by George Gates [ 14/Oct/15 ]

Still happening in 15w42a.

Comment by husky2490 [ 29/Jul/15 ]

Confirmed for Snapshot 15w31a

Comment by KingSupernova [ 09/Mar/15 ]

Confirmed in 1.8.3. Doesn't occur in spectator mode. And could someone please update the description? The current one doesn't make any sense.

Comment by Xander [ 07/Dec/14 ]

confirmed in 1.8.1

Comment by George Gates [ 18/Oct/14 ]

Confirmed in 1.8.1-pre2.

Comment by Samuel Shank [ 07/Aug/14 ]

confirmed for 14w32b

Comment by Dlawso the Really Lucky Rabbit [ 24/Jul/14 ]

Still in 30c.

Comment by Itouch2 [ 16/Mar/14 ]

Confirmed for 14w11b

Comment by Kumasasa [ 09/Mar/14 ]

Can still confirm in 14w10c.

Comment by Marcus McDermand [ 09/Mar/14 ]

Could not reproduce in 14w10c

Comment by Max [ 24/Oct/12 ]

Okay, good to know reporting bugs helps

Comment by Gravity [ 24/Oct/12 ]

I'll mark this as confirmed then and see what can be done about it.

Comment by Max [ 24/Oct/12 ]

Yeah, the bug is the same. It's supposed to be a feature in tunnels, but doesn't work correctly

Comment by Gravity [ 24/Oct/12 ]

Well, my point was that the basic design behind it is what caused the bug to happen, is that correct? The aesthetics of the actual system are irrelevant in this case.

Comment by Max [ 24/Oct/12 ]

Well, its not exactly like that, it goes further down and at mine you're able to go up as well. I can't give you a screenshot right now, im on my iPod

Comment by Gravity [ 24/Oct/12 ]

Do you mean a setup like this, Max? http://i.imgur.com/SoOfp.png

I tried that and it did indeed force me to first-person mode. If that's not what you're thinking of, perhaps you could send me a screenshot?

Comment by Max [ 24/Oct/12 ]

Well, for me it happens all the time i use my minecart system. Its like, going straight down, and then as short as possible it turns 180 degrees, and then goes straight down again

Comment by Gravity [ 24/Oct/12 ]

Well, Max, that would make it a bug.

In any case, I did manage to duplicate this bug, I made a tunnel underground and when going around a corner, my character's head was temporarily inside of a block, and so it switched to first-person mode. However, this did not happen when the tracks were in an open area.

Comment by Max [ 24/Oct/12 ]

Ah, so its not actually a bug but it just isn't coded right, like alot other stuff in Minecraft?

Comment by Kumasasa [ 24/Oct/12 ]

That effect shows while riding underground 1x2 tunnels, sometimes on straight tracks, often when riding around corners (yes, the blocks in the corner are removed)

Comment by Max [ 24/Oct/12 ]

you just turn 180 degrees around on the rails with your cart, and then this happens

Comment by Gravity [ 24/Oct/12 ]

Can you explain what you mean by "go in a half circle, down" please?
