 Description   

Items with low durability will break and come back multiple times. Other times the item will remain invisible until you clock the spot it once was located. The item This bug has been around for as long as minecraft had enchanting. I once thought this bug harmless but now this bug may be able to trigger anti-cheat plugins used on servers and get players banned. These players are forced to repurchase the game to continue play in servers they like.

This is indeed because of Unbreaking. Tested multiple times. Only Unbreaking tools come back from the dead. It seems that tools that have one use left break before the game calculates if the use counts or is absorbed by the Unbreaking enchantment.

@[Mod]Tails... I do a search every time I come here and did not find a match. If the search system would work properly it would reduce the number of duplicate posts.

I've been having this happen in the prerelease for 1.4.6 lately. I've noticed this has happened with pickaxes; not sure about other tools.

Reproduced on Vanilla Minecraft.
Happens more often with enchanted items with the Unbreaking enchantment.
