Digging straight down glitches out the breaking animation (Z-fighting)
The bug
When digging straight down the breaking animation glitches out. It may flicker or not appear at all, but not always.
How to reproduce
I had better results when digging into the ground instead of building and breaking a pillar.

I wonder if the reporter is actually talking about the cracking animation and not particles (as in MC-234)?
Looks the same as MC-234 to me, marking as a duplicate since all the other duplicates are linked to that ticket already.

Ok, prepare for something... Could please a mod mark the versions for every bug I tell you here? That would be nice.
I have a world set up for fast bug testing. That means that going into each bug report and saying "Confirmed for 1.10.1" is way more work than actually testing it. So I want to confirm for 1.10.1 with this comment:
MC-4, MC-9, MC-14, MC-87, MC-112, MC-201, MC-212, MC-234, MC-258, MC-460, MC-577, MC-667, MC-679, MC-696, MC-697, MC-849, MC-868, MC-926, MC-957, MC-997, MC-1040, MC-1127, MC-1133, MC-1168, MC-1207, MC-1218, MC-1297, MC-1390, MC-1429, MC-1530, MC-1531, MC-1538, MC-1541, MC-1555, MC-1578, MC-1673, MC-1685, MC-1691, MC-1981 and MC-2023.
All of these are tested in 1.10.1. For some others I have additional information:
MC-711 not testable with my setup because of a crash that's new in 1.10.1.
MC-779: At least some appear outside, didn't test all. What's sure is that no general solution got introduced.
Confirmed MC-1511 for stone button, lever, torch, redstone dust, normal rail, end rod, tripwire hook, ladder and flower pot. Others are untested.
Confirmed MC-1874 for chest, brewing stand, enchanting table and flower pot. Others are untested. It's apparent that there isn't a general solution here either.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been closed as a Duplicate of MC-234.
It has been linked to this report. If you have additional information, please add it to that report.
Please search before reporting, as it's likely that one exists already.

The crafting part is most likely lag. The block animation part is MC-234.
Yes this has been in the game for a while now and seems to be do to client server lag. And since in 1.3 and it runs an internal server this bug was made a singleplayer bug as well.
I have also seen this become an issue with the introduction of unified MP/SP logic.
I've seen the same thing when digging straight up too. For example, when chopping down a tree.
This appears to be about the breaking animation z-fighting with the block being broken rather than the block reappearing.
This used to happen only when looking straight down or straight up, but I've now seen it looking at eye level too. Perhaps expanding the model of the 'cracking' block so it doesn't z-fight?
MC-1491reports that this also affects digging straight up.Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Confirmed for 1.10.1.
[Mod] Michael Wobst For me the breaking animation just disappears when I look exactly 90° down, it doesn't look like in your picture. Can you please make a video of it?
[~FaRoGaming] no, I don't have any capturing software installed. Besides it wouldn't look any different than in the attached screenshot.
Can confirm for 1.12
Can confirm for MC 1.12.1.
The game uses this bit of rendering magic to prevent z-fighting for the breaking animation:
However, this seems to be ineffective at nearly perfectly straight-on viewing angles. I think this is due to the second parameter, the constant, being too low. I tested changing this to
And was not able to reproduce this bug anymore, nor could I find any new issues caused by this change.
Using MCP names, this change was made in RenderGlobal.preRenderDamagedBlocks.
WONTFIX, bug is result of incorrect user action
Sorry mate, you're too late for that joke, it's already fixed. And even if I do /execute at @e run summon ender_dragon and get a bug with it, it's still valid.
lol this bug was fixed in pre6 but has been re-added in pre7: Can confirm for pre-7
Do you have any evidence of this? GIF or video showing version would suffice.
Still in 1.13, see 2018-07-26_16-24-31.mp4
(triggered by sneaking) and 2018-07-26_16-43-55.mp4
(triggered by changing tilt angle)
Not my videos, cortesy of Discord
affect 18w30b
Confirmed for 1.13.1.
Not fixed for 18w43c.
in fact it's not fixed in 18w43c sorry to have believed
Still occurring in 18w47b...
This was fixed in 1.13-pre6 (at least my suggested code adjustment was implemented by Grum) however it still seems to affect a very small amount of players. I have a feeling this is mostly players with Intel GPUs. The second example video posted by Kumasasa shows an Intel GPU in the debug screen.
So please, if you can reproduce this, give us the model of your GPU, or just post a screenshot with F3 open.
I have difficulty to reproduce this bug so i think it was fixed ?
Closing as Fixed.
It is still happening in 1.14.4
GPU: NVidia Geforce GTX 1080
Can you make a screen recording of it with F3 open, please? And does it also happen to you in 1.13.0?
Yeah, I can make one. Forgot to set this issue on watch, so sorry for the late response.
It affects 1.14.4 but not 1.13.0.

1. Why are you moving so much? 2. You're digging up, not down. 3. I see no buggy animation.
This bug was consistent and didn't depend on movement, the animation was completely gone and it only happened downwards.
So what you're saying is that I should make another bug report. Also
MC-9743complained of the same thing looking up.Only if it isn't described already by
MC-35507.That bug requires mipmaps and a certain angle. You don't need mipmaps to have this bug appear.
Santiago Dailey, the video you posted is irrelevant to the ticket posted here. Please create a new report about it. However, just like Fabian Röling, I cannot see anything faulty in the video, so if you create a new ticket, please point out exactly what the buggy animation is.
Alright, just created one with a better video.
