 Description   

Sometimes when sprinting across a 1 block ditch you will not fall through. This is likely to be related to random fall damage due to lag. I first experienced this in 1.3.

I have a video demonstrating this.

But it seems "fixed" in 1.20.5 pre2.

Running over a single block gap works as intended. See Teijo's comment for more information as to why it may randomly seem to not work.

Comment by Teijo Lukkarinen [ 06/Nov/12 ]

You can only clear exactly one block gap when fully sprinting. If you go at the gap at a slight angle you won't clear it. Also trying to go over with only a little start of 1-2 blocks you also won't make it because your sprint isn't fully engaged. Can seem buggy but it's just very strict about the circumstances. Maybe it could be changed to allow a bit more leeway so you wouldn't have to go straight in a cardinal direction but couldn't still clear wider gaps.

Explain why then this is random?

Comment by Teijo Lukkarinen [ 05/Nov/12 ]

That is an intended feature.
