Jittery motion in certain circumstances on death screen
The Bug
When a player dies, (occasionally) mobs motion stops and the players motion will be jittery when dying and falling in midair.
Steps to Reproduce
- Switch into survival mode.
- Teleport yourself upwards really high so that you're guaranteed to die of fall damage.
/tp @s ~ ~200 ~
- Just before you hit the ground, quickly move your head in any direction.
- Look closely at your hand on the death screen.
Observed Behavior
The movement of entities and players on the death screen sometimes jitters.
Expected Behavior
The movement of entities and players on the death screen would not sometimes jitter.

This actually appears to be a duplicate of MC-109251.
This seems like a duplicate of MC-109251.
The bug
Blocks MC-109251.
When the player dies in midair, from their pov, they continue falling even after the "You Died!" screen appears, which doesn't make much sense. This issue occurs even in singleplayer. Previously, their screen would stop moving once they had died, occasionally leading to glitchy behavior (MC-109251).
Further, if you go in F5 mode, you can see that your player doesn't despawn as it did in 1.16.5. (from MC-225731)
If the player dies in the void, they will fall indefinitely.
Steps to reproduce
Test in both 1.16.5 and 1.17 development versions to see the difference
- Go in F5 mode
- Open debug screen
- Fall out of the world
Your player will despawn at a certain height and will fall no further in 1.16.5 
Your player will not despawn and will fall indefinitely in 21w19a. 
The jittery motion is MC-109251.
Further, please try to reproduce this in a vanilla environment without using Optifine, otherwise, this bug is invalid as Optifine is not supported by the bug tracker.
I'm pretty sure that this ticket would qualify as a duplicate of MC-109251.
This seems like a separate issue to me, as this issue describes an animation becoming shaky, whereas MC-109251 describes the whole world becoming shaky.
In addition, the situation required to experience the bug is different: here, the animation simply needs to be present at the time of death, but in the case of MC-109251 the effect can only be observed after rapid movement.
Perhaps the issues' root causes are similar, but their observed behaviours and steps to reproduce are quite different.
After looking further into MC-109251, it appears that some animations are also covered by the issue. However, the situation required to trigger this bug remains different, so it still appears to be a separate issue.
Dupe of MC-109251.
This issue relates to
MC-144766MC-152839was supposed to be fixed in 19w35a. That issue seems to identical to this one. What exactly is the difference, and how did you reproduce this in 19w35a?The difference is that in this one when you die, all mobs stop moving and if you die while falling in midair, your motion jitters up and down.
It might make sense to split the "mobs stop moving on the death screen" into another ticket.
Testing tnt traps and got this bug. in 1.15. Thought it was patched.
You also can't see the blocks being broken by TNT, nor being able to see any TNT explosion particle. If the TNT destroyed blocks it will appear there on the death screen, but in reality they are gone.
Confirmed for 1.16 Pre-1. Really funny when you die as the ender dragon is dying. Her death animation loops forever, while the purple light gets more and more intense each time.
Can confirm in 20w51a.

MC-225129has been fixed, this issue has returned in 1.17-pre1.This is very cool and interesting feature, I don't understand why you want to remove it.

Can confirm this behavior in 21w40a. Here are some extra details regarding this problem.

Steps to Reproduce:
Observed Behavior:
The movement of entities and players on the death screen sometimes jitters.
Expected Behavior:
The movement of entities and players on the death screen would not sometimes jitter.
Can confirm this in 21w41a.
I think this is because the server knows the client is dead, but the client tries to fall. But since the client is dead, the server doesn't allow that, teleporting the player back. The player then tries to fall again.
Can confirm in 21w44a. I'd like to request ownership of this ticket since the current reporter has been inactive for over a year.
Can confirm in 1.18.1.
Can confirm in 1.18.2.
Can confirm in 1.19.
Note that due to the nature of this bug, I would recommend avoiding viewing the attached videos if you are sensitive to flashing lights.
This issue can also be observed by eating food while you die (see
MC-252986for more information)Can confirm in 1.19.2.
