 Description   

While in realms on 16.0, some users in Pocket Edition and some in PC Win 10, when one player feeds/breeds an animal, the other online players currently held inventory item gets replaced completely by the food item that was fed to animals.
An iron axe that was being used while another player fed an animal, disappeared and was replaced with the 26 wheat the other player was using to feed the animal. Happens with any held item at the moment of feeding. if the other players are not holding an item when someone feeds an animal, then the food gets added to all the other online players open inventory slot.
EDITED TO ADD:
This also happens randomly even when no players are feeding animals. At a single moment, all realm players had 9 cooked beef appear in hotbar slot 6.... and if they had something in that hotbar slot earlier, it was gone and replaced with the beef. Same item, same qty, same slot. Totally random. Makes playing the game very difficult. Players lost diamond tools that were replaced with beef.

From my tests (filling up my inventory with random items, switching to survival an then feeding the cows) it does not.

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 21/Nov/17 ]

Does this issue still affect the latest version? Please reply if it does.

Comment by Jay [ 14/Sep/17 ]

This happens to me in singeplayer as well.

Comment by Caitie [ 14/Sep/17 ]

Yeah, I don’t want to put my whole inventory away whenever I want to feed an animal, but at the same time I don’t want to risk loosing my heavily enchanted weapons and tools.

Comment by Jay [ 14/Sep/17 ]

I hope they fix it soon.. 😖

Comment by Caitie [ 12/Sep/17 ]

It happened to me in single player too, in 1.1.5

Comment by Jean McGuire [ 27/Jun/17 ]

Also exists in single player. After I fed my cows, a stack of glass blocks on my hotbar was replaced by a duplicate of my wheat.

Comment by Mateusz Dargacz [ 27/Jun/17 ]

There's a way to restore the replaced item(s) by re-entering the world but it's still really annoying bug which has to be fixed.

Comment by Christopher Rodgers [ 24/Jun/17 ]

Still not resolved in 1. 1.2

Comment by Christopher Rodgers [ 01/Jun/17 ]

This still has not been resolved it now still affects the 1.1 mcpe update that was released today.

Comment by Christopher Rodgers [ 10/May/17 ]

I know that this issue has been reported on a previous Version of mcpe i have just found out. This is occurring in 1.1 beta when feeding animals with wheat or carrots items duplicate they will overwrite enchanted items such as my bow a enchanted with my name on it.... It also happened with a fishing rod. Please see the pictures attached. The wheat and carrots have the same number after feeding the animals and i started off with a random amount. i can reproduce if necessary.

so this should have been fixed or was fixed and then the devs messed it up again lol

Comment by [Mojang] Adrian Östergård [ 10/May/17 ]

We're not able to reproduce this issue in either 1.1.0.9 or 1.0.8.0. If you're experiencing this issue, please provide detailed steps on how to reproduce this.

Comment by Ashley [ 09/May/17 ]

I confirm you can still overwrite items while feeding animals on mcpe 1.0.8.

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 09/May/17 ]

Affects 1.1.0.9 according to MCPE-21773

Comment by K. Nikki Buckingham [ 16/Nov/16 ]

Yes I lost a fully enchanted diamond sword the first time
It just happened to me again. I was lighting a piece of netherrack and the flint and steel I was using in the fifth slot duplicated into the fourth slot and got rid of my axe. This time I had pressed the number key to switch to it when it happened...Not sure if that had something to do with it, but it is true I use the number keys often to change items instead of my mousewheel.

Comment by Lynn Shaw [ 16/Nov/16 ]

It isn't so bad when it clones your brand new super enchanted diamond pickaxe, but it sure bites the rest of the time. It would be nice to carry around a nice sword but for now, it is a waste of materials and enchanting levels.

Comment by K. Nikki Buckingham [ 16/Nov/16 ]

Agreed, it does seem to be a different problem. I've been playing every day without problem with the animals, but then last night I was online alone and mining away, I had a brand new iron sword I'd just made in slot one and an iron pick almost broken in slot two, and a new shiny pick in my full inventory....I swung my pick in at a block and notice my sword vanished from from slot on and there was now a copy of my pick in slot one, iron and almost broken...the other new pick was still in my inventory unused and there was no way I'd dropped my sword as my inventory was full. I am on a PC in version 0.16.1 in Realms and I was online alone. It's very weird.

Comment by Lynn Shaw [ 15/Nov/16 ]

I'm currently on v0.16.1

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 14/Nov/16 ]

@shawlh - Which version of the game are you using?

Comment by Lynn Shaw [ 11/Nov/16 ]

Yes, it is still happening. Or perhaps maybe we should be opening a different Jira entry as the problem I reported is slightly different (has nothing to do with animals but it does have to do with items disappearing and being replaced by other items). The problem occurred twice yesterday evening.

Comment by Fletcher [ 11/Nov/16 ]

Confirming at least for us that we haven't seen the issue occur since the update. Thanks!

Comment by Lynn Shaw [ 07/Nov/16 ]

I'm currently on v0.16.1. I was online on my realm last night and my sword all of a sudden became a pickaxe. This happened twice. Both times I was standing in front of a bunch of zombies killing them (gotta love mob spawners). The first time my sword might have worn out and broke, but instead of having no sword, all of a sudden I had a duplicate of the item I had in my second slot. The next time it happened (also last night) my sword did not break (wasn't even close).

I no longer attempt to enchant weapons.

I have to admit though, a few days ago when my enchanted diamond pickaxe that was in my 2nd slot, that when it became duplicated I was not unhappy about it.

Comment by [Mojang] Adrian Östergård [ 07/Nov/16 ]

Please reply and update affected versions if you're still able to reproduce this issue.

Comment by Demon MoonBat [ 03/Nov/16 ]

My case is slightly different, too. I play alone atm, I was the one to feed an animal, and I was the one to lose my entire stack of torches.

Comment by K. Nikki Buckingham [ 02/Nov/16 ]

I forgot to edit my post and Lynn's post reminded me that I really should....After going over it in my head and typing it out I realized my diamond enchanted sword wasn't replaced with a tool the zombie held. It was an exact duplicate of the tool in my second hot bar slot. An iron pick with half its durability.

Also, I think it needs to be acknowledged that this is a big enough bug that it's URGENT.. It's made the game unplayable. Of eight players I am now the only one who will log into our realm. And when I do so I only carry three items with me now (iron sword, iron pick, food). It just got ridiculous having items duplicate during zombie fights and having to dump inventories into chests every time someone wanted to feed animals....

Also, curious what animals Troy's Realms can't feed. We have found on ours that we can not feed pigs any food.

Comment by Troy schmidt [ 02/Nov/16 ]

I have a similar experience. My post MCPE-17882, however mine is slightly different or maybe not. I did feed animals, however exactly when items bagan crazy behavior im not sure. Also, feeding my animals didnt work properly, some of them could not eat, and some could eat repeatedly. My other player thought it was my harvesting of wheat or placing of wheat in chests that gave it to him. Our lost items (which did occur) appeared to happen upon his death, not during wheat cloning. Other items appeared cloned during wheat cloning, for example he suddenly had wheat and a duplicate of a sword he crafted just then.

Comment by Brandon Eddy [ 02/Nov/16 ]

This also happens when someone tries to tame a wolf. I've had an item replaced with 9 bones after a player in my Realm tamed a wolf. The food too, and I've also had a minecart in a hot bar slot get replaced with 23 wheat even when I was not online (I am the owner of the realm though; I don't know if that means my character is always online in the background or something).

Windows 10 Beta Version 0.16.0 - Realm

Comment by Lynn Shaw [ 02/Nov/16 ]

I have experienced this many times while attacking mobs. I'll kill a mob with my diamond enchanted sword (in slot 1) (or whatever weapon I currently have at the time) and all of a sudden my sword with 95% health is gone and I have a duplicate of the item that was in slot 2. This has happened many times.

I am not dropping the weapon because I have set the key mapping for dropping an item to the NumPad 9 which I never even get close to touching. Plus the weapon is no where to be found AND I have a duplicate of the item I had in the next slot.

I am running Windows 10 Beta v0.16.0, connected to a 6 month realm subscription I recently purchased. I am running on a Dell Precision 5510 laptop, i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70 Ghz, 16 GB of RAM, 64-bit Windows 10 Enterprise.

Just wanted to add this info. My husband was playing on his iPad, connected to our Realm. He was the only player online. He had a diamond sword in his first inventory slot, but not anywhere in his hotbar. He had wheat in his first hotbar slot. He fed an animal, and his sword was replaced by wheat. So, the item doesn't have to be in the hotbar to be affected by this bug.

Comment by K. Nikki Buckingham [ 29/Oct/16 ]

Just to add this is happening in Windows 10 over LAN and also in Realms Windows 10/PE. We are experiencing it also. I lost a fully enchanted diamond sword while playing alone, it was actually replaced with the tool the zombie coming at me swung! And the next day while playing with my husband I lost two axes and my fully enchanted bow while he was feeding animals....then over a LAN game he lost his hoe when I bred my sheep....on the other hand, we now have a lot of wheat and carrots. sigh
It is not always the held item that is replaced, sometimes it will choose a random hot bar item.

We are both on PC. The first four times we were in a Realm game. The last time we were on LAN.

Comment by Patrick McCoy [ 29/Oct/16 ]

MCPE-17727 is a duplicate you should link to this one. Also, I can confirm this is a thing on Android as well. Samsung Galaxy J3, Andriod 6.0

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 28/Oct/16 ]

Confirmed for Win 10 over LAN

Comment by Joshua Mossop [ 26/Oct/16 ]

Also having this issue as of 27/10/2016, hosting a server on Windows 10 Beta.
As @manda_marie said this seems to occur for everyone on the server,
whilst feeding animals a random player on the server will have their hotbar item replaced with the food item.

Comment by manda marie [ 24/Oct/16 ]

This is happening on our realm as well. We tested it out and used our last slots. Everyone put a random item in the last inventory slot, then one person fed a cow wheat. Everyone's slot was changed to 7 wheat, the amount the feeder had left. We tried it again this time using the first slot, same issue, we all got wheat in that inventory slot as well. So far people have lost important tools and weapons, myself lost a full stack of golden carrots, changed to 7 wheat.

Comment by Martin Hawlisch [ 22/Oct/16 ]

I have seen a similar problem in 0.16.0 in a local LAN game (Both computers Windows 10 Beta).
One player breeds a cow with wheat, in the same moment the wheat in the inventory of the other player is reduced by one.
