I believe that's intended behavior, just like night vision underwater.

Ok thanks for the clarification, but please try to verify if it still works in the current version and update the affected versions accordingly.

You don't need to be partially submersed in lava for the blindness method to work. Different bugs.

Comment by Tails [ 04/Feb/13 ]

So has blindness any editional effect when in lava or is it the same as MC-3615?

Comment by Ian Carlson [ 04/Feb/13 ]

The one without blindness is a bit tricky though... I can only reproduce it without blindness by semi-submerging in lava... otherwise I get the overlay.

Comment by Tails [ 04/Feb/13 ]

That's why I'm asking as blindness is only available through 3rd party tools.

Comment by Ian Carlson [ 04/Feb/13 ]

I forgot how to craft a blindness potion, as it isn't in creative inventory.

Comment by Tails [ 04/Feb/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.

See you can even do it without blindness.

You can also just do this without blindness.You can just make a hole in the wall and swim to it then look back into the lava river. You can easily survive this with a fire resistance potion.

Looks like an alpha transparency bug. Hard to fix, I'd think, without causing too much fps drop.

Comment by Cad'ika Orade [ 28/Oct/12 ]

That's actually not such a bad bug, considering in normal survival you'd be dead.

Might be a useful thing to exploit for adventure maps and the like. Some ultra-overpowered potion effects topped with blindness and away you go.
