Verification builds:
1.20.50.03_rc2
1.20.80.24_rc0
Summary:
Players are unable to interact with (or attack) entities while being teleported.
Impact:
This broke the tutorial in our Castle Builder map where players are required to interact with an invisible entity in front of them to progress, while teleporting them to keep them in the air. We were forced to delist it.
Repro Steps:
- Open the provided world.
This world contains a creeper-looking entity that sends messages in chat whenever you interact with it or attack it. - Hold the stick. This will teleport you in front of the entity every tick, forcing you to face it.
- Interact with and attack the entity, and observe chat.
Observed Results:
99% of the time, interactions and attacks with the entity while holding the teleporting-stick fail - nothing happens. With the interactions specifically, the player doesn't swing their arm either.
Expected Results:
Interacting and attacking the entity should succeed and trigger the chat messages always, regardless of the player being teleported
Regression Build:
Worked in 1.20.40.20_rc0, doesn't work in 1.20.50.03_rc2
Screenshots / Videos Attached:
Yes.
Notes
I'm compelled to think this might be related to MCPE-177817 and MCM-1748, though the regression builds don't match. Still, both of these bugs might be caused by a series of changes to how player input reacts to the teleport command.
