None of mine split so the conclusion is still unconfirmed
Must just be an android bug, because it didnt happen on my 1st gen iPad Mini
Interesting. Did you exit MCPE and re-load the world?
Yes, I even closed it out of the background
Fixed in next Release
Reopening as affecting 0.11.1, per
MCPE-9234Does this still happen in 0.12.1? I am trying to close older issues
It still happens occasionally on single player worlds, and semi frequently on multi player worlds with noticeable lag on my LG G3 running 5.0
Still happens occasionally on 0.12.1:
On Windows 10 PC - I sometimes see split chests.
If a player on my LAN (playing on an Android device) tries to open a split chest, it crashes for them and they have to rejoin the game.
I've had it happen in 0.12. In this case, when the chests split, the game would crash if I tried to get an item out of either of the two chests. I had to destroy the chests and re-create the double chest.
The 0.12 beta community is gone now, but I recall seeing a post that the double chest splitting issue was only happening for chests were aligned in one direction and not the other, but I can't recall which. By "aligned in one direction and not the other" I mean, North-South or East-West. A north-south aligned chest has its long side pointing north or south while an east-west chest has its long side pointing east or west. I have no idea if the side the chest opens on matters.
Does this bug still appear in 0.12.2? If so please respond.
In
MCPE-11284the user of a Nook-HD on MCPE 0.12.3 was crashing their game when putting things into one of the split small chests.this bug affect 12.1,12.2,12.3, and 13.0 alpha build 1-5
I can confirm that this bug is still present in 1.13.1 on Win 10
Yes, still affects 0.13.1 on iOS. I had 3 large chests stacked vertically, and only the topmost one split, so it's very unlikely that chunk boundaries have something to do with this. The glitch is so rare and I don't have any reliable way to reproduce it.
Does this issue still affects 0.14?, if so, please respond
Android players joining my world via lan still sees double chests as 'split' sometimes in 0.14.0.
If they leave and rejoin they'll be double chests again.
Please confirm if this still affects 0.14.1
