 Description   

Tested on Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920W8), Android 6.0.1 on MCPE 0.15.90.8

To Reproduce:

  1. create a new creative flat world.
  2. make a grid of 1x1x1 holes and fly above and slightly away from them so you have to place the lava or water from a bucket down and in front of the player.
  3. try to place the water or lava into a specific 1x1x1 hole and observe that the location the water or lava appears is likely not the block you tapped.

Note: making the grid of holes isn't necessary, it just shows the problem better. Whatever offset in tap and placement location exists, it's easier to see when placing further away from you than up close.

possibly related to MCPE-18063

Dan dan that's bad news and very disappointing. I'm on IOS so I haven't a chance to test it yet. I was hoping this along with the other bug fixes would sorted out.

Still occurs in 1.0.0.0 as well.

Affects version 0.17.0.1 (beta) according to MCPE-18311

I am experiencing this bug - additionally, where I place water over and over again on a block and nothing happens. iPad Pro

Also when using fire arrows there is no fire anymore?

You need to mak a bug report for each thing, I found that when playing on IOS multiplayer if you use a bed you float while asleep

Comment by Sayyadina [ 08/Nov/16 ]

I found this bug where you cannot open the Skins without the game crashing.

Comment by Tristan Davis [ 06/Nov/16 ]

I have an iOS device that I play minecraft pe on and this bug even exists in my game it is probably the most annoying bug I've ever seen

Comment by Mike Bee [ 06/Nov/16 ]

Comment by Braxton bailey [ 06/Nov/16 ]

This is still problem in 0.16.1, I would like to see the change log for this latest update instead of just a note saying various bug fixes. This will save us getting our hopes up and then trying out the game just to find the things we have reported are not actually fixed. Thank you.

My bug was quoted as a duplicate of this. The video will not load, but if my bug is a duplicate of this, the issue at hand is that the buckets are emptying where the focus would be if in mouse or split controls.

Comment by [Mojang] Adrian Östergård [ 10/Oct/16 ]

This bug has been reported to our internal bug tracker for further testing and a fix. It is scheduled to be fixed in one of the future updates (no specific date can be provided).

Comment by Rodrigo [ 08/Oct/16 ]

Possibly this is real bug behind these issues: MCPE-17086 and MCPE-17095

Comment by rplatham [ 08/Oct/16 ]

This video shows the bug. Also worth noting, the empty bucket picks up water and lava correctly.
