 Description   

I was just fooling around it in survival mode when I place a sticky piston behind a cauldron with water or potion, when I activated the piston the game crashed.
Crashes happen in both survival and creative modes.

Steps to reproduce
First of all make sure you're testing this in creative.

  • Place down piston.
  • Place cauldron in front of piston.
  • Fill cauldron with water or potion.
  • Place redstone dust and add a lever to power it. (See photo attached.)
    The game WILL crash.

Fixed in 0.15.90.8

Comment by Zeb [ 05/Oct/16 ]

Affects 0.15.10. (Tested on Windows 10.)

Comment by Zeb [ 16/Sep/16 ]

Affects 0.16.0 beta build 4 AKA 0.15.90.7.

Comment by Zeb [ 03/Sep/16 ]

Confirmed for 0.15.90.2. (Tested on Pocket Edition.)

Comment by Zeb [ 27/Aug/16 ]

Confirmed for 0.15.6. (Tested on Windows 10.) A good way to reproduce the bug is to setup a fast redstone clock to rapidly pull and push a cauldron with a sticky piston. Also, what The Bosshead said is also happening for me. Once the cauldron starts causing crashes, it will do it every time you try to power it again when you reenter the world.

I can confirm this again that it affects 0.15.3. It happens less for me. But once it crashes, it will repeatedly crash. (tested on Android).

can confirm on 0.15.1 b.1 note 3. It also crashes creative mode.

Comment by Tavish McEwen [ 22/Jun/16 ]

Confirmed in 0.15.1 build 1.

Comment by kaleb418 [ 14/Jun/16 ]

I can confirm this on 0.15.0 iOS 9.3

Comment by Zeb [ 14/Jun/16 ]

Confirmed for 0.15.0 on Windows 10 Edition. The bug only seems to happen in Survival Mode, and never in Creative Mode, from what I have tested. The bug is annoyingly inconsistent when testing in Survival Mode, though. Some times it would crash when you tried to push the cauldron, sometimes it would crash when you tried to pull it, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. It's pretty weird...

Updated description with what I did, game still crashes.

Comment by Zeb [ 13/Jun/16 ]

Cannot reproduce in Windows 10 Edition 0.15.0. Possibly fixed?

Comment by rplatham [ 05/Jun/16 ]

Also crashes if you partially fill with water or a potion.

Comment by gatharian [ 05/Jun/16 ]

Confirmed on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. 0.15.0 build 1.
If it doesn't crash the first time, it will crash the second time.

Steps to reproduce
First of all make sure you're testing this in creative.

  • Place down piston.
  • Place cauldron in front of piston.
  • Fill cauldron with water.
  • Place a redstone torch behind the piston.
    The game will crash.
