Fire animation continues to play when game is paused. (1.19.2)

Comment by [Mod] Avoma [ 06/Aug/22 ]

Can confirm in 1.19.2.

Comment by [Mod] Avoma [ 28/Jul/22 ]

Can confirm in 1.19.1.

Comment by HubbiGamingTV [ 22/Jul/22 ]

this is caused by some animations being looped 

Comment by [Mod] Avoma [ 08/Jun/22 ]

Can confirm in 1.19.

Comment by MMK21 [ 26/May/22 ]

This report should be updated to include the fact that the enchantment glint on items does not pause with the game (see reports such as MC-36534 that have been merged into this report).

Comment by Connor Steppie [ 19/Apr/22 ]

This has since been done but would it make sense to set this to be In Progress like that ticket was?

Comment by user-f2760 (Inactive) [ 19/Apr/22 ]

This is already triaged too, that should absolutely be a duplicate of this.
Mods should notify grum about this.

Comment by Connor Steppie [ 19/Apr/22 ]

Since MC-250145 is triaged by itself and currently in progress, would it make sense to split this ticket into one per animation?

Comment by pulpetti [ 13/Apr/22 ]

In 22w15a.

Comment by Eometheous [ 01/Apr/22 ]

Still happens in 22w13a and is still really bad with Warden's emerge, roar, and dig animations.

Comment by Connor Steppie [ 25/Mar/22 ]

Does not affect mobs shivering when freezing nor zombie villagers when being cured, so I assume the enderman's shivering is somehow different and I never noticed.

Comment by Eometheous [ 25/Mar/22 ]

Can confirm this with the Warden as well. It is actually very bad with the warden emerging animation. Here's a video with the warden emerging animation. Minecraft 22w12a - Singleplayer 2022-03-25 13-49-49_Trim.mp4

TheStegosaurus_, that issue is MC-118001 which was later resolved as "Works As Intended".

Comment by TheStegosaurus_ [ 20/Mar/22 ]

The Bug also affects running water animation

Comment by Yeti112 [ 16/Mar/22 ]

Already was confirmed in 21w11a, want to add that I have found this to impact walking, swimming, and breathing of frogs.
It also impacts the tongue animation, which causes a slight desync between the animation and when the target entity is pulled in.   

Comment by [Mod] Avoma [ 16/Mar/22 ]

Can confirm in 21w11a. This issue also now affects frogs.

Comment by [Mod] Avoma [ 02/Mar/22 ]

Can confirm in 1.18.2.

Comment by [Mod] markderickson [ 19/Feb/22 ]

The bug tracker does not process bugs tested in experimental snapshots.

Comment by esoij [ 19/Feb/22 ]

Can confirm in Deep Dark Experimental Snapshot 1

Comment by [Mod] Avoma [ 07/Nov/21 ]

Can confirm this in 21w44a. Here are some extra details regarding this problem.

The Bug:

The animations of endermen shaking and axolotls moving continue despite the game being paused.

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Summon an endermen, switch into survival mode, and begin looking in its direction.
  • Wait until it begins shaking and pause the game.
  • Look closely at the endermen and take note as to whether or not the animation of endermen shaking continues despite the game being paused.
  • Summon an axolotl on land.
  • Wait until it beings moving and pause the game.
  • Look closely at the axolotl and take note as to whether or not the animation of axolotls moving continues despite the game being paused.

Observed Behavior:

The animations of endermen shaking and axolotls moving continue despite the game being paused.

Expected Behavior:

The animations of endermen shaking and axolotls moving would not continue when the game is paused.

Comment by [Mod] Avoma [ 18/Jul/21 ]

Can confirm in 1.17.1.

Comment by [Mod] Avoma [ 16/Jun/21 ]

Can confirm in 1.17.

Comment by [Mod] Avoma [ 27/May/21 ]

Can confirm that this is an issue in 1.16.5.

Comment by [Mod] tryashtar [ 06/Jun/17 ]

Relates to MC-118001

Comment by [Mod] tryashtar [ 08/Dec/16 ]

What do you mean by "see the torches"? Torch particles freeze when paused.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 28/Dec/12 ]

Adjusted summary.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 28/Dec/12 ]

This is actually working as intended.
See for example the the torches.

Comment by Nathan2055 [ 28/Dec/12 ]

I remember experiencing this from back in 1.8 when Enderman were first added (I was a new player back then). However, I cloned this as MC-5456 as people have said it occurs with all in-game animations. I will test it more throughly tommorow.

Comment by Sid Ben [ 15/Dec/12 ]

Since it does not affect gameplay at all, I would be fine with Kaleb answer and mark as "Work as Intended". What the mods think, should we wait for a developer response?

Comment by kaleb bacon [ 14/Dec/12 ]

Thats not a bug. if you have an enchanted item in your hand it will sparkle while paused. pausing isn't suppose to pause animations just movment.

Comment by Anıl Karabayır [ 04/Dec/12 ]

This is also happening to me. Although it is a minor bug, it is annoying
