Experience Orbs invisible for one second right after spawning
While testing MC-4167 discovered that XP Orbs would be invisible for one second "switching location" like described in MC-4167.
To reproduce:
- Kill a mob, watch how no XP is visible right after the corps disappears in smoke particles
- Mine a diamond ore, xp appears 1 second after mining it
- breed animals
- throw a bottle o' enchanting, same effect

I guess it is not intended, that XPOrbs spawn after a bottle of enchanting is thrown 3 blocks away from the impact position.
Relates to/ is caused by:MC-12013
This was in earlier versions:

Fixed in 1.8.1-pre3. Wasn't observable due to MC-12013 (which was maybe a band-aid to cover this issue)
The EXP orbs still readjust a slight fraction of a block, but not several blocks as shown in the video / screenshots.
Could it be related to MC-12013 (which was fixed in 1.8.1-pre3)?
Confirmed for
- 1.8.3 when you throw a bottle of enchanting, the XP orbs display first all facing south (that is not really the bug) but after this get a random direction (also not the bug) and sometimes get spread for about 5 blocks
Might relate to MC-12013
Nah, MC-12013 is safely and completely solved (I made a mod to fix it before Vanilla patched it so I know what that bug is)
This bug is just an extension / special case of MC's entity syncing system being derpy in general (client and server still not matching some code, etc.). By extension this and the item drops appearing in wrong place bug and the boat desync bug are all the result of a derpy synchronizations system.
This was fixed a long time ago...
yup MC-12013 (caused directly by this issue) was fixed in 1.8.1
Confirmed.
Most noticeable to me when mining (the sounds play and the XP bar fills, but no orbs are visible; occasionally I'll see one if I'm far enough away), but I have observed with XP from mobs as well.
This is really annoying, I can't tell whether or not I picked up all the XP from something I killed and I have to go back.
Still in 13w25b
Still in 1.6 prerelease.
still in 1.6.2 pre-release
Confirmed for 13w37b.
present in 13w39b. I briefly saw some after I killed the ender dragon, but they disappeared before they hit the ground. Annoying because I'm not sure I collected it all.
Just wanted to point out that this issue describes XP being invisible for one second, but many linked duplicates are describing different behavior, including intermittent or no visibility at all.
Personally, in 39b I have never seen any XP.
Confirmed in 1.7.1
Confirmed for 13w48b.
Still a concern in 14w08a.
Confirmed for 14w11b
Confirmed for 14w21b
Solution (MCP Names):
in NetClientPlayHandler's handleExpOrb or something similar, the coordinates of the xp orb are retrieved from the packet and used in the constructor of a new EntityXPOrb. However, those coordinates are still 32x the actual coordinates (to aid in network communication)
So simply divide each coordinate by 32.0D and the problem is fixed
Confirmed for 14w29b.
Confirmed for release 1.8
