 Description   

To Replicate:
Shoot an arrow or throw a splash potion up in the air and try to hit yourself in survival. You will see that the arrow is no where to be seen and it applies no damage. The splash potion only falls beside the player instead of hitting the player like it used to.

Device:

Google Pixel C Tablet (Not the Phone)

Mojang... I know you don't want us to use the punch II trick with the elytra, but you could let us do that till you add the fireworks boosting...
Or maybe you could just allow it when you're not using the elytra, because it would be very useful if I could hit myself with an arrow of healing whilst fighting the wither...

I can confirm this bug exists on mcpe version 1.0.1 on iPad Air 2 iOS 10.2

Comment by Anomonous Anomonous [ 23/Dec/16 ]

Can confirm for IOS 1.0.0 while trying to do the punch 2 bow elytra infinite flight trick.

Affects 1.0.0.1 also

I expected a splash potion or arrow to hit me if fired straight up.
What actually happens is it passes straight through without hitting you.
Steps to Reproduce (in creative):

  1. Change camera to third person (back) view
  2. Fly up 10 blocks or so above the ground
  3. Looking directly up, Fire an arrow or splash potion straight up
  4. Look down as the potion or arrow is falling
  5. Notice that it will fall straight through you and hit the ground below instead

could you update the bug report to add 0.17.0.2 in the affected version/s section

Comment by CarJem Generations [ 30/Nov/16 ]

Yes, I have been testing this and it still is effected on 0.17.0.2

Comment by [MCPE Mod] Celesian [ 30/Nov/16 ]

Can someone report back if it affects 0.17.0.2?
