 Description   

Just see the images, black (squares?) (see the first image, 2012-11-17_01.28.59.png) on 3rd person view (both).

  • It seems to happen on the coordinates shown, on SP and MP (try /tp player 124 58 651). (see screenshot 7) (reproduced)
  • This square remains on the back.
  • Sometimes (see screenshots 10, 11 and 12) dissapears when flying towards it, but it reappear on coordinates shown. (see screenshots 3-6)
  • Does not happen on superflat worlds.
  • Graphic Cards up-to-day (OSX).
  • No mods used, default texture pack.

Just noticed this bug in 13w25c !
Happend inside a fenced area to me, attached a screenshot (F5_bug.jpg).

Comment by Ian Fiveonethreethree [ 13/Apr/13 ]

It's in 1.5.1. I've noticed this bug for over a year, but I wouldn't say it's very important to fix.
The shape is centered around the player, and stretches from the player's waist and seemingly infinitely downward.

Comment by Jesper the End [ 15/Mar/13 ]

yup, confirmed for 1.5

Comment by Tails [ 15/Mar/13 ]

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Comment by Jesper the End [ 03/Mar/13 ]

confirmed for 13w09c

Comment by Alberto Salazar Muñoz [ 18/Nov/12 ]

Ok, ok, I see. That seems cool, as I said, do what you need to do, I reported this, but is obviously not my possession or anything.

By the way, when I speak english I think I look rude, but it's not my intention

Comment by Tails [ 18/Nov/12 ]

Resolving a bug report as duplicate never means that it's useless. This bug report will still be documented and linked in the "original" bug report to help mojang solve this issue.

Comment by Alberto Salazar Muñoz [ 18/Nov/12 ]

And sorry about the coordinates, Kumasasa, I don't know why I confused the 5 with the 2...

Comment by Alberto Salazar Muñoz [ 18/Nov/12 ]

I didn't found it when I was looking for this here. However, this report is, at least, more documented and, therefore, easily testable. Feel free to do what you want with this report, though.

And sorry about my english, I'm spanish and here our english level is offensively low, unfortunately.

Comment by Tails [ 18/Nov/12 ]

Duplicate of MC-1796

Comment by Kumasasa [ 17/Nov/12 ]

Does also occur with MCPatcher and Hi-Res texture pack (Misa's 64x64)

Comment by Kumasasa [ 17/Nov/12 ]

I fixed the coordinates in your description, because 124 58 621 is under water...

Comment by Kumasasa [ 17/Nov/12 ]

Weird.

A black square in the sky behind the clouds, moving when moving the player's view.
Env here: Win 7-64, Java 7U9-64, Singleplayer, vanilla Minecraft 1.4.5, AMD Radeon 6700 (latest drivers), Default texture pack

Comment by Kumasasa [ 17/Nov/12 ]

Ok, can reproduce

Comment by Kumasasa [ 17/Nov/12 ]

Got it, will test

Comment by Alberto Salazar Muñoz [ 17/Nov/12 ]

Comment by Alberto Salazar Muñoz [ 17/Nov/12 ]

I can, but I can reproduce this on every world (if it's not superflat). Uploading.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 17/Nov/12 ]

Ok, last question: Can you zip and attach the world ?

Comment by Alberto Salazar Muñoz [ 17/Nov/12 ]

Updated

Comment by Kumasasa [ 17/Nov/12 ]

Are that black blocks ?
Can you walk into the square or will it move away when you walk towards it ?
Did you update your graphics card drivers to the latest version ?

Comment by Kumasasa [ 17/Nov/12 ]
