 Description   

Sometimes, when quitting and saving the world while underground, the game vertically respawns me to the top surface when opening the world again.

Update by rplatham:
The most general description of this bug so far is: Whenever you reload a world you always appear one block (or part thereof) above wherever you last quit. How to reproduce: You can easily test this bug by quitting your world in 3rd person view and watching as the world loads you will drop 1 block. Try it in creative flat to see what I mean.

The bug becomes a problem when you quit and the block(s) directly above you are solid. Upon the next load, you will spawn at the next available 2 block space moving upward from where you should have spawned. Again in a creative flat world, put a block above you, quit, reload and you'll be on top of that block. This works all the way up to the build limit where you spawn with your lower body inside the top block.

Two closely related and much older reports are MCPE-51 (assigned to Johan) and MCPE-330 (unassigned).

This bug is NOT FIXED!
I experienced exactly this bug on a realm with 1.2.10.
Edit: Client for playing was Windows 10 edition. I logged out in a cave. And when I logged in, I was back on the surface.Exactly. at those X/Z coords. Just the Y was different.

Confirmed on Nexus 5 MCPE 0.11.1 Android 4.4.4. I spawned in a underground lava lake, and all my things were lost. All that procastination while mining in vain...

Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 5.0.1 running MCPE 0.11.1.

This is a more general case of the bug (MCPE-8717) where you always appear (on loading your world or reconnecting to a server) 1 block above wherever you last quit. When that block is solid (such as when you quit in a door with a solid block above it), you appear at the next available 2 block space moving upward from where you should have spawned.

You can easily observe the "spawn 1 block too high" bug using 3rd person view when you load. You'll see your player appear and drop 1 block to the floor.

You can easily test the bug by quiting with 1 (or more) block(s) above you and you'll spawn in the next vertically available 2-block space.

What I expected to happen: player would spawn at the same place he or she left (the block same block as the door).

I'm still having a problem in 0.11.1 on my iPhone 4S, and my younger brother also experiences this problem on his iPhone 6.

Comment by Mike Boudreaux [ 05/Jun/15 ]

It appears to be fixed on iOS in 0.11.1. I respawn in the same place where I left off, even deep underground.

That even happens in multiplayer when someone disconnects and connects again
