I also cannot reproduce this issue anymore as of 1.19.40.20.

Comment by Sprunkles [ 08/Sep/22 ]

I am having difficulty reproducing this bug in Preview 1.19.40.20. Perhaps it was inadvertently fixed along with MCPE-144702?

I believe this is inconsistent across devicesβ€”I cannot sprint sideways or backwards on iOS.

Comment by Jonathan Hanzel [ 19/Nov/20 ]

@ambient Some people don't want this fixed (the mods commented above), and also it can be used to sprint in any direction (i commented above saying that you can sprint sideways)

Comment by ambient [ 19/Nov/20 ]

I dont understand why people want this "fixed". It doesnt impact gameplay at all and I would argue its a neat feature.

In addition: you can sprint sideways!

Comment by Jonathan Hanzel [ 08/Jan/19 ]

Prepared to submit a report for the 1.9.0.3 beta until I found this

This happened to me on a multiplayer world and now everyone else on that world is trying to sprint backwards, Here are the devices that were used to play on that world:

  • Host device - Samsung Galaxy Note 9
  • Samsung Galaxy S8
  • Samsung Galaxy S9
  • 2 Windows 10 PCs
  • OnePlus 5 phone
  • Xbox One

All devices had the latest operating system versions and were all on Minecraft beta 1.9.0.3

Comment by PHO [ 18/Jul/17 ]

Confirmed to be affecting 1.1.3 / iOS.
But I honestly don't want this to be fixed...
