Confirmed. Also, launching TNT through a nether portal doesn't work
This bug still exists.
Also, it says game mode creative, but it occurs in survival as well, obviously. I've tested it by using pistons to push the lit tnt into the portal.
TNT passing through portals should keep their momentum. Wouldn't it be really cool to shoot TNT through portals.
Just tested it on the prerelease. Still does not work.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 3 / Launcher version 1.5.3 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
No response for over a year.
Couldn't reproduce it for 1.13.1.
Second opinion?
Is this still an issue in 1.14.4 or later?
Yeah it this still an issue in 1.14.4 or 19w41a.
Still an issue in 1.15.1
Affects 1.16 Release Candidate 1
Code Analysis:
Using 1.16.1 Yarn mappings.
The reason TNT cannot enter the nether via a nether portal is simple.
The TNT extends entity however never uses the entity tick which would call the base tick and thus call the netherportaltick to enter the nether.
Instead TNT uses it own tick method with no super call to the entity tick at all and thus no calling of the nether portal stuff.
Here is the default entity tick:
It first calls the tick which call the base tick.
From the base tick it calls the this.tickNetherPortal().
From the this.tickNetherPortal(), it checks to see if the entity is in a nether portal which TNT can be at is uses the move method which checks for collisions. If it had this calling it would be able to call this.changeDimension(lv3) and enter the nether.
