 Description   

The bug

If you have a stone block with a torch on the top and jump down onto it, the sound related to walking on a wooden floor plays instead of that for walking on stone.

How to reproduce

  1. Place a line of blocks (not wood) on the ground
  2. Place torches on the ground next to it
  3. Sneak on the edge of the line of blocks until your center is above the torch
  4. Walk straight along the line of blocks
     You'll hear the sound of wood from the torches

Comment by Lightning_11 [ 14/Sep/20 ]

I thought that this was a feature since your character is kicking the torch as they fall...

Comment by [Helper] Jack McKalling [ 16/Jul/20 ]

When testing MC-1133, you can notice this bug at the same time. If you walk along the edge of blue/compact ice, with torches on the floor next to it, your walking speed will be normal and you'll hear wood stepping sounds, eventhough you're suspended by ice. This is how I've been testing these two bugs at once.

Basically the game appears to calculate the sound and other effects depending on what is under the center of the player, and not what you're actually walking on. Jumping/falling/walking is all the same therein. I tried to rephrase the summary of this ticket to be more concise about this, but it's difficult and I don't want to make too many assumptions about the mechanic.

It does this when running through tall grass as well just not as noticeable because the sound of tall grass on grass is the same

This is affecting me, too, on version 1.13 Prerelease 7.

I want to note that this doesn't affect particles. Apparently they get calculated differently.

Just noticed whilst checking in 13w09b that the same happens with redstone torches, redstone repeaters and signs.
Also, comparators and hoppers!

Comment by Paulquappe [ 09/Nov/12 ]

it happened to me as well on windows 7, minecraft 1.4.4 (don't know java version). i jumped on a torch on grass and the wood-sound came instead of grass.
