 Description   

In survival, using pick block (middle click by default) should select the block as long as it is in the inventory. Currently this only works in Creative mode. (Compare to Java Edition.)

Maybe this is becaUSE YOU cant add new blocks to the inventory when using pick block in survival.

Comment by Jonathan Hanzel [ 07/Aug/18 ]

This issue returned in 1.5.3

Comment by KillerbeeNL [ 01/Jul/18 ]

This feature / fix to pick block in survival is added in beta change-log 1.5.0.0: https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360004165031-Minecraft-Beta-1-5-0-0-Xbox-One-Windows-10-Android- "Pick Block will now work in Survival mode". No specific date can be provided when this fix will make it into the stable release.

Doesn't work in windows 10 1.4.2 as well.

Comment by Nilonaut [ 26/May/18 ]

Still doesn't work on 1.4.1 on Switch.

Comment by Jordan Dowdy [ 17/Apr/18 ]

Will this get fixed on Xbox survival? It’s really annoying that it doesn’t work

Comment by CaptainRyMM [ 02/Feb/18 ]

Can confirm that this bug affects Xbox bedrock also. I know because I keep testing it by accedent and then get frustrated when it doesn't work.

Comment by Vinícius Soares Corrêa Alves [ 30/Jan/18 ]

The bug still at 1.2.9

Comment by Joshua D Joppie [ 15/Jan/18 ]

Confirmed on Xbox One S, playing on a Realm with many others.

It also happens with controller. I also replaced crafting (face_button_left) with pick block.

Comment by Toby Vaughn [ 25/Aug/17 ]

I wanted to be clear that the Xbox One beta was also affected, since this issue was added prior to release on that platform.

Comment by [Mod] bemoty [ 25/Aug/17 ]

Bearfoot Jebus 1.2.0.22 is already marked as affected.

Comment by Toby Vaughn [ 25/Aug/17 ]

Present in Xbox beta of 1.2 (1.2.0.20).

Comment by inxomnyaa [ 03/May/17 ]

Indeed. 1.1 still has that issue, though i would rate it a feature request, it was added quite lately to MCPC.

Comment by [MCPE Helper] Aspergerian [ 14/Mar/17 ]

Is this still happening?

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 04/Nov/16 ]

Even more apparent that this is a bug in 0.16.0 as the 3rd mouse button is assigned to 'pickblock'
