 Description   

I made an anvil-launching cannon with TNT and redstone.

What I expected to happen was the anvil would be sent into the nether like an arrow or other moving entity.

What actually happened was the anvil passed through the portal blocks as if they weren't there and landed on the other side.

How to reproduce

  1. Place a nether portal block (make sure it is not on the ground)
    /setblock ~ ~ ~3 nether_portal
    
  2. Place a gravity-affected block above it
    /setblock ~ ~2 ~3 sand
    

    The block falls straight through the nether portal block without being transported to/from the nether

Affects 1.16 Release Candidate 1

Comment by ProPork [ 25/May/20 ]

Problem is, this issue is hard enough already because it's hard for the game to calculate where the block will land, especially with the example Jacob Smith posed.

Comment by [Mod] j_p_smith [ 25/May/20 ]

Confirmed in 1.15.2 and 20w21a.

Steps to reproduce (much easier than the steps provided):

  1. Place a nether portal block (make sure it is not on the ground)
    /setblock ~ ~ ~3 nether_portal
  2. Place a gravity-affected block above it
    /setblock ~ ~2 ~3 sand

    The block falls straight through the nether portal block without being transported to/from the Nether

Still an issue in 1.15.1. Have tested with sand.

Comment by Matthew [ 22/Jun/18 ]

Can confirm in 1.13-pre3.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 06/Dec/15 ]

Is this still an issue in the current Minecraft Snapshot 15w49b or later? 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 Joshua Bolin [ 04/Nov/14 ]

Still an issue in version 1.8 and 1.8.1-pre3

Comment by Tails [ 11/Feb/13 ]

Confirmed. Also applies to all FallingBlock entities.
