 Description   

If a Zombie or a Skeleton is spawned on a bottom half slab using a monster egg in daylight, it does not begin to burn until it walks off of the slab. I have checked this in every difficulty (apart from peaceful) and with every slab with both mobs.

Comment by Tyler Osborne [ 11/Jul/13 ]

This bug is also present in the 1.6.2 release! In Survival and Creative!

Comment by Tyler Osborne [ 30/Jun/13 ]

This bug is also present in SURVIVAL, in the 1.6.1 pre-release

Comment by Tyler Osborne [ 29/Jun/13 ]

The bug is still present in 1.6.1 pre-release!

Comment by [Mod] Ezekiel (ezfe) [ 29/Jun/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 Tyler Osborne [ 27/Jun/13 ]

Affects the 1.6 Pre-Release, they still don't burn on slabs during daylight...

Comment by Marios [ 24/May/13 ]

Affects 1.5.2
Game mode survival also. Voted.

Comment by Johny Daison [ 09/May/13 ]

13w18c also has this problem.

Comment by Joshua Smith [ 25/Apr/13 ]

Happening in large numbers with the 13w17a snapshot.

Comment by FireHunterX [ 01/Apr/13 ]

Okay, after making a large floor of slabs, I can say that most slabs are now showing this effect.

Comment by Josh Johnson [ 31/Mar/13 ]

Still happens in Minecraft 1.5.1. All of my lol. All of my how.

Comment by mike [ 13/Jan/13 ]

In 13w02 b, most slabs work.

Comment by FireHunterX [ 18/Dec/12 ]

Works in 1.4.6, but only on a few slabs. Stone Brick Slabs and Birch Wood Slabs seem to be the only 2.
But only if they stand on the middle of the block. If they go toward the edge they burn.

Had one sit for 3 minutes without burning

Comment by Tails [ 04/Dec/12 ]

Confirmed in 1.4.5.

Comment by [Mod] Ezekiel (ezfe) [ 25/Oct/12 ]
