Experience orb positions desync severely and abruptly correct themselves
When you kill a mob, or use experience bottles the xp orbs movement will stutter a lot. This seems to be due to desync between their physics on client and the server. This seems to have been introduced in 1.21 Pre-1.
Reproduction Steps
Method 1
- Drop an experience bottle (it's more severe if you throw it against a wall)
- Observe the orbs movement
Minecraft 2024.11.10 - 16.01.10.05.mp4
Method 2
- Kill a mob & quickly switch to spectator (so you don't absorb the orbs)
- Observe the orbs movement
Minecraft 2024.11.10 - 15.26.20.04.mp4
Observed Results
- The XP orbs abruptly change position
Expected Results
- The orb movement would be fluid and uniterrupted
