MC-95 indicates this affects players as well.

Happens in 1.4.2 with Players SSP(open to Lan - does this count as SMP?). Player visually stick at a random position above the track whereas the minecart continues empty. When the player leaves the minecart the avater "zooms" (very fast) from the stuck position to the correct place.

I read, on the wiki I think, that villagers will become invisible when taken out of a certain radius of their village in 1.3.2.

Within a certain radius, villagers will try to walk back to their village, but outside of this radius they will wonder randomly. Not 100% sure if this is related though.

This is not limited to villagers, all mobs. Try running a mob in a minecart into a hole with a painting in it. The painting will suspend the minecart, and after a while the mob will disappear, occasionally glitching below the minecart. If one of the mobs does not disappear, it will if I log out then back into the server. I was running 1.4 Pre-release, about to try 1.4.2.

EDIT: Still occurs in 1.4.2. I had to log in/out of the server a few times to make it happen. When the mobs (in my case cows) disappear from the minecart, then appear down below an occasionally "flash" into the minecart for a split second. When you try to attack the cows below nothing happens. Destroying the minecart forces the cow to drop.

I just tested this again with a longer track (300+ blocks). I still couldn't get it to happen.

I've seen this bug as well, and it also affects players.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Create a long minecart track (around 400 blocks should do).
  • Put a player or a villager in the minecart and send them off.
  • Get in a minecart and follow them
  • The minecart will eventually appear empty. For players, I've seen a stationary ghost of them on the tracks while they are riding. Villagers just become invisible.
  • When the occupant gets out of the cart, they become visible again.

Note that in both cases they are actually in the cart, it's just a visual bug.

I cannot reproduce this in the latest version. I however have been able to find a related bug (MC-39) about mobs vanishing after breaking minecarts.
