 Description   

I have several bridges in my world, which uses the Fantasy Texture pack. The bridges along the horse trail between my houses are set up simply, just two sideways parallel oak logs with two rows of oak planks in between, making a span of four blocks crossing the river. The bridges are completely flat, and anywhere from 3 to 8 blocks above the water.

Ever since the update, riding a horse across these bridges causes me to take a minor amount of damage. I have maxed out enchanted armor, so the damage doesn't even register, but I take noticeable and audible hits. The horses aren't affected.

I also had this problem in a friend's realm, taking damage across one of her flat, 3-block diagonal spans across a stream.

However, the two arched bridges I have, which are made of a variety of stones, don't cause this damage. These bridges are wider and arched, with steps leading up the archway on both sided, in addition to being made of various kinds of stones, and are right near each other, whereas the flat wood bridges that do cause damage are located in different areas over different bodies of water.

This appears to have been fixed in an earlier update.

Can confirm this happening as well. I just made a couple of bridges that cross the water and are completely flat. I take a bit of damage every time I cross riding a horse, and you can see the bubbles appear under your hunger bar briefly when the damage occurs.

HAHAHA! Very interesting. I clicked on the "Test Rider Damage" link, expecting a video clip, and got the unexpected opening of my game and the loading of the test world. And there is definitely some damage going on.

I will try it tomorrow (or later today, actually) without the fantasy texture pack to see if it still happens. I wonder why it doesn't happen on the bridges in the third clip. Maybe because they are higher than 3 blocks above the water?

Weird. It's not critical, but it is a little annoying. Thanks for looking into it.

I was able to reproduce the issue, it seems that riding across solid blocks that are 3 blocks above the water, causes suffocation damage to the rider.

Added test world.

Edit: Updated test world to include different blocks.

Does this happen without any texture packs or addons applied? I'm wondering also if perhaps there are any glitched invisible blocks causing suffocation damage?

Comment by David Frost [ 13/Jun/17 ]

Okay, here are three clips. The first two show damage happening while riding over the bridge, two half-heart hits each time. It only happens in the one direction, and only the first time I cross the bridge in a game session without restarting. I can cross back over the bridge and not take damage. There's a third bridge where it also happens, but only rarely, and I couldn't get it to do it while making a clip.

The third clip is just to show that it doesn't happen over the arched stone bridges I mentioned.

Yes a video would be great, thanks.

Comment by David Frost [ 12/Jun/17 ]

Can I post video captures of this happening, or only pics? I can make videos of it later tonight and post them if this will help. I don't know how to add a test world, or even what that is, sorry.
