 Description   

When you are standing next to 2 blocks, the shadow of your head will appear on the block above your head.
Nothing much else I can say.
On the first screenshot I'm pushing myself against the wall, on the second one I walked a bit off the wall.

still in 14w04b, and all official release versions.

Still an issue in 1.7.4.

Comment by Emoluvjd2 [ 08/Dec/13 ]

Going back through the versions, it looks like the player shadow has never worked correctly. Though in Infdev it appeared on blocks one space higher than you were standing rather than two.

Why isn't this fixed yet? Im going to get this 50 votes.

Still happening in 13w37b.

I noticed the bug on my ugly cobblestone bridge

Comment by Emoluvjd2 [ 14/Mar/13 ]

The hit-box is positioned wrongly, which is most likely the cause of this bug.

Comment by Emoluvjd2 [ 14/Mar/13 ]

Confirmed in 13w11a.

Comment by George Gates [ 07/Mar/13 ]

Still happens in the 1.5 Pre-release.

Might be related to MC-4077.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 23/Dec/12 ]

Other nearly-two-block-high mobs like creeper, skeleton and zombie cast their shadow correctly on the ground and not two blocks higher.
Seems to be an issue with the player model.

Confirmed. Strange thing is: There is no shadow below the feet of the player. Why is there a shadow on his head?

Comment by Tails [ 15/Dec/12 ]

Confirmed in 12w50b.
