 Description   

Slots in hotbar are duplicating items. One item is cloned across hotbar. If you select new item in inventory it will be cloned to.

https://youtu.be/dfYkSBLS_y4

workaround for this problem is to drop all items and pick new from inventory, for each cloned slot because every time you do this process it's freeing one slot, sort off because this slot not working correctly afterwards, so its kinda severe, it's explained in this video.

Had this problem on two occasions in two different maps in creative mode only. First time it was three blocks cloned three times each, second time is in this vid it's one item cloned across eight slots.

Confirmed that the MCPE Version 1.1.1 update, downloaded and installed on June 21, 2017, does not fix this issue for me. In survival, I have lost many high-end enchanted items, and didn't realize it was a bug until I read this thread. I stopped playing for over a month until yesterday's update was released. Once I entered the saved world, I had a diamond sword loaded into the first slot in the hot bar (my double-enchanted diamond sword was overwritten previously so I constructed a plain diamond sword as I was a long way from my spawn and enchanting table). When re-entering the world the first time after update, the sword was in the inventory and first slot of hot bar. I forgot that I had changed to classic interface. I decided to change to the pocket edition interface, and accidentally minimized the app (on iPad Mini 2, iOS version 10.3.2). I brought the app back into focus (never cleared it from memory), and went to the display settings in the app to change to the pocket edition interface. When I returned to the world, now with the pocket interface, my diamond sword was gone, both from the inventory and hot bar. This bug makes the game unplayable in survival mode.

Until the 1.1 update arrives, switching to the classic UI in Advance video settings resolves the issue of hot bar items moving around. At least it did for me.

Comment by Jordan Wiens [ 19/May/17 ]

Please actually read the thread before commenting.

NO ONE CLAIMS IT IS RESOLVED IN ANYTHING BEFORE 1.1.

The fix is supposedly available in version 1.1, but iOS users cannot try beta builds so we are at Mojang's mercy and have to wait until 1.1 is no longer in beta. There may be other updates from them with more stupid add-ons that do not fix the bug but complaining here will not fix that.

The bug fix will come to iOS when 1.1 is shipped to all users. If your version number says 1.1, /then/ you can come here and comment that it's not yet resolved then. Until then, we just have to wait.

Comment by Christian Jönsson [ 19/May/17 ]

This bug is NOT resolved. It still occurs a lot on iOS recent update v1.0.9. This is very annoying as items are not just re-arranged in toolbelt, items are also cloned in backback and randomly dissapear from backpack. It is really annowing to explore the world of my realm after losing several maps and compasses randomly.

Comment by Jordan Wiens [ 19/May/17 ]

I doubt they will – this is known to still exist on iOS devices still because 1.1 is not available there yet.

If you had the android beta you could try out the fixed version, but us iOS users will have to wait until 1.1 is finished and submitted to apple which will be who-knows-how-long.

Comment by Levi Grimm [ 19/May/17 ]

Can someone change the status bar from resolved back to opened. This is still happening on my pe creative world on iphone 5c

Comment by Jordan Wiens [ 14/May/17 ]

There have been /lots/ of bugfixes since then.

Just check out: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Pocket_Edition_version_history

Click each of those versions and there are lots of links to resolved bugs.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not excited by the preponderance of skin packs either, but it's not even close to true to say that no bugs have been fixed since Jan.

I count approximately 20 in just April/May alone.

Comment by Erin Smythe [ 14/May/17 ]

The last time the developers actually released an update for bugs was back in January. Between then and now, the updates have been skin packs and mash-ups.
The only useful update was the ability to trade with villagers.
Seriously, what's the point in downloading packs if the hot bar doesn't even work? I personally don't feel like spending $5.99 just so I can die in simulated China because my hot bar got rid of my weapons and replaced all the slots with green dye.
It's so frustrating that they're actually waiting to release the fix for this.

Comment by Stephen Langele [ 08/May/17 ]

Gotcha.... Yeah, too many users I am sure....

Comment by Jordan Wiens [ 08/May/17 ]

I believe it would be technically possible to do Apple betas but TestFlight limits the number of beta users to 2000, iirc.

That would be hard to fairly allocate when there are so many iOS users of MCPE.

Comment by Stephen Langele [ 08/May/17 ]

Yeaaaah, I know. I understand there are more hoops to jump through when dealing with Apple, just frustrating...

Comment by Jordan Wiens [ 05/May/17 ]

That's not surprising. It's only supposed to be fixed when 1.1 is released. The 1.0.x updates seem to be mostly minor in app purchases which is frustrating but not much we can do.

Comment by Stephen Langele [ 05/May/17 ]

STILL an issue on iPad Minecraft PE v1.0.8.

Comment by Xavier Hogan [ 05/May/17 ]

This problem is happening to me too, Can't wait till 1.1

Comment by Jordan Wiens [ 03/May/17 ]

Wait until the final 1.1 is approved in the app store. No betas for iOS users sadly.

Comment by Ronald Anthony Jr [ 03/May/17 ]

I have this issue on iOS how do I get 1.1.0.9?

Comment by Zeb [ 02/May/17 ]

Resolving as fixed as of 1.1.0.9... if you can reproduce this bug in this version or later, please let us know and provide detailed info on how you reproduced the bug so we can reopen this ticket.

Comment by Katie Heart [ 01/May/17 ]

My guesstimate is the game is referencing slots for the hotbar instead of using individual slots when in the Pocket UI.

Comment by Jordan Wiens [ 30/Apr/17 ]

My realm reliably reproduces this bug every time I access a brewing stand. I believe it does it other times too as I frequently find my hotbar rearranged with duplicate items. This is extremely frustrating to not have the proper times selected very minute or more.

Comment by Matt Smith [ 29/Apr/17 ]

This ticket should be a top priority bug fix. It is terrible!

Comment by Stephen Langele [ 28/Apr/17 ]

YES!! I am starting to lose items as well.... Very f*ng annoying!! Most times it seems to occur if I have put my iPad down and the screen goes to sleep. When I resume the game, I notice that I have item(s) missing, and it seems to be the item that was in the first slot of the hotbar. I certainly hope they are getting a handle on this as it is very frustrating....

Comment by Oscar Kippenberger [ 27/Apr/17 ]

Same problem here. Items clone in Creative and survival, but they do not duplicate. As in if 5 torches are cloned in 3 slots in the hotbar, you do not have 15 torches, rather 5. If the items are replaced, they are cloned also. The best way to fix is /clear or log off survival. Very annoying may I add.

Comment by Kasey Hudson [ 26/Apr/17 ]

It has not been resolved for me i am still having the issue,,plus I have discovered some other ones which were weird and aannoying.Not only is it cloning just one idem in each box but it is also cloning other ones as well in stead of having just one block in one box and or one bottle in another it clones two different items.there is also the issue with my items that will just randomly disappear out of the inventory box. There is also the issue of when I use the night vision bottle in creative mode random empty bottles will appear.

Comment by Matt Smith [ 24/Apr/17 ]

1.0.7 It has become worse for me. Items are not duplicated or cloned. Rather, the same item or items will appear multiple times in the hotbar after an inventory call through a chest, furnace, villager, et cetera. It is the worst on the right hand side of the hotbar but that will not prevent a situation where you don't have access to weapons/tools on the left hand side. Essentially, this forces the player to spend an inordinate amount of time managing their hotbar. It's terrible.

Comment by koa [ 23/Apr/17 ]

I am having this problem as well. It can get a bit annoying , and lately it has become an issue with titems appearing on their own in my hotbar, and duplicating.

Comment by Werner bennett [ 23/Apr/17 ]

Added screen shot 2017-04-22.......... Showing 1 compass in inventory and 2 in hotbar. This is a mild example...Lol. If you throw 1 from hotbar all disappear.

Comment by Werner bennett [ 23/Apr/17 ]

Follow up to my previous post. I did not mention this is on Android v.5.0 tablet. Also, this is a clean "vanilla" MCPE with no packs or more installed. I created a new world from random seed and as soon as I had enough items to fill hotbar it began showing the duplicate items!!! I have screenshots also, but do not see a way to attach them.

Comment by Daiginn [ 22/Apr/17 ]

Hello for me i tried to open a file cause similar to this duplicating issue.... It automatically replaces things in my hotbar with whatever it wants and usually duplicates it. For me its more annoying to go click on my hotbar sword and i end up having to defend myself with a steak.

Comment by Erin Smythe [ 22/Apr/17 ]

Okay, so I tested this is in all 17 of my current worlds and I realized I'm only having this cloning issue in my Fallout Mash-Up world.
I also just downloaded the Mash-Up and I'm wondering if that's what caused the bug.

I've got an iPhone 5c and as I said, I'm playing on 1.0.7

Comment by Werner bennett [ 22/Apr/17 ]

I am having this same problem. As stated this only started after update 1.0.7. I have done a backup of my world's, and then a complete uninstall/reinstall of MCPE (uninstall, search for all Mojang directories left and deleted). After reinstall and moving worldview back the bug still occurs. Is there a file in world's directories that controls hotbar???? If so which is it? Can it be cleared or replaced?

Comment by Erin Smythe [ 22/Apr/17 ]

I'm on version 1.0.7 and never experienced this bug until this update.
Replacing duplicated slots with empty slots only works if you've got a space free at all times. While it's a nice temporary solution, it's frustrating to lose a slot just because of a bug.

Comment by Ben Clark [ 20/Apr/17 ]

My Inventory bar keeps duplicating and gets jumbled around every time I leave the furnace. I am using a Galaxy Note 5 and the game has the update 1.0.7
Please Fix Soon

Comment by Kristie Satterly [ 20/Apr/17 ]

This issue is on 2 out of 4 iOS devices that we have. One of the devices not showing the bug is in Pocket, the other doesn't have that setting. I switched one of the ones that was glitched from Pocket to Classic as suggested above and don't see the issue again yet. I thought it may have something to do with the iOS version, but it seems this is an issue on Android as well? We don't play multiplayer, only single player. No need to reply, just lmk if you need any additional info/test to help resolve the issue. Thanks!

Comment by Juliet Ding [ 18/Apr/17 ]

I agree with Andrea Anderson that this game has become too frustrating to play with this issue. I'm following this issue, I WANT it to work, I don't want to give up on this game!

Comment by Andrea Anderson [ 18/Apr/17 ]

This is making the game fairly UNplayable in 1.0.6 for iOS. Items duplicated in all but one slot now. So you can only access 2 items total from the hotbar.

Comment by Matt Smith [ 17/Apr/17 ]

Still occurs in 1.0.6

Comment by Andrew Wilson [ 14/Apr/17 ]

Have changed settings in video from pocket to classic, this stops the issue however on returning to pocket, the issues comes back after a certain length of time. This could just be a bug which can resolved with a reinstall of the game but it up to the user.

Comment by Mr Smeo [ 14/Apr/17 ]

Have not seen this in 1.1.0.3 so far.
Possibly fixed, can anyone else confirm?

Have not seen this in 1.1.0.4 so far.

Comment by Fors Coyt Anderson [ 10/Apr/17 ]

I have a screenshot of 1 carrot taking up 4 slots in version 1.0.6.0 but my phone won't upload it for some reason.

HTC Adreno (HTCD160LVWPP Adreno (TM) 304) Android 6.0.1

Comment by Andrew Wilson [ 09/Apr/17 ]

Having the same issue. Additional photos added to show the different items changing after entering and leaving chest

Comment by [MCPE Helper] Dylan K. Taylor [ 08/Apr/17 ]

Confirmed this on an LG G5 with 1.1.0.1 beta. When opening and closing furnaces, two or threee slots in my hotbar, including the held slot, seem to shuffle items in my inventory. The order seems random, but repeating the process shows 4 or 5 items over and over again.

Comment by Brandon Paulk [ 08/Apr/17 ]

I am also experiencing this in MCPE (Android) version 1.0.5 on my Realms subscription account/server. I believe this may have resulted in lost items (maps).

Comment by Chris L [ 07/Apr/17 ]

The same issue is happening in my game as well. Mostly seems related to the interaction with chests, crafting table, hoppers, droppers, and the furnace. Empty slots fill with clones or other random items. Items in inventory also rearrange unless all slots are full. Over time I believe this causes the game to become unstable and lag. playing on an iPhone 7+

Comment by Jim Hutchins [ 07/Apr/17 ]

Having this problem in all my games (survival) in MCPE 1.0.5 (via Amazon Appstore), on Lenovo A5500 Tablet.

Problem started immediately after updating from 1.0.4, and affects all worlds/games, regardless of whether they were created before or after the update.

Generally affects 3-5 slots of the hotbar, cloning items between those slots. Using/placing an item from one stack reduces the count in all cloned stacks. Opening a chest/furnace interface often changes the item shown in the cloned spaces, but which spaces are involved tend to remain unchanged.

Comment by Emanuil Shavepeyer [ 07/Apr/17 ]

Try Classic UI this wont appear

Comment by Cortney Doxey [ 07/Apr/17 ]

Please fix this! It is very frustrating! Happening in MCPE 1.0.5 on iPad Pro / iOS 10.2.1.

Comment by Jason Kennedy [ 05/Apr/17 ]

My bug report was registered as a duplication to this issue today. Android 6.0.1. running MCPE 1.1.0

Comment by Marek [ 04/Apr/17 ]

Well if it's still there try to "unbug it" way I described it. Hope it helps for now.

Comment by Bruno Daniel [ 04/Apr/17 ]

Its still not fixed. My whole hotbar is bugged

Comment by Jonny Tarr [ 04/Apr/17 ]

Issue seems to be related to opening & closing chests, as described in MCPE-20488. Very annoying to set up your hotbar only to have everything jumbled up by the game a moment later. Happening in MCPE 1.0.5 on iPad / iOS 10.2.1.

Comment by Marek [ 02/Apr/17 ]

Did not notice this bug in 1.1.0.0.
