MC-92484Placeable non-mob entity reach is shorter than block reach
The bug
In survival mode only, you can't break placeable non-mob entities from the longest distance of which you are able to place them at a block.
Since these entities are similar to blocks, this inconsistency may confuse players not understanding the differences between blocks and entities.
Placeable non-mob entities:
- Item Frames
- Paintings
- Leads
- Armor Stands
- End Crystals
- Boats
- Minecarts

Cannot reproduce in 16w43a.
Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (currently that is 1.10.2, or 16w43a) of Minecraft? If so, please update the affected versions and help us keeping this ticket updated from time to time. If you are the owner/reporter of this ticket, you can modify the affected version(s) yourself.

The bug
In survival mode, you can't break item entities from the longest distance of which you are able to place them at a block. This probably happens because the code written for making the distance of hitting mobs shorter affects all entities, not only mobs.

Works as intended, see this comment by [Mojang] Grum (Erik Broes).
Edit: Didn't see that Mojang considered fixing this judging by that they didn't resolve this as WAI, which contradicts the comment I linked. In that case, MC-92484 should be reopened and be linked as relating to this bug. Maybe this report should clarify in the title that mob entities are affected while MC-92484 is about placeable non-mob entities like item frames.
Can confirm, affects 1.20.81. This is also reproducible on Windows, and is considered a bug on Java Edition too MC-92484
Other entities affected by this:
- End crystals
- Boats
- Minecarts
- Armor stands
Unlike Java Edition, item frames appear to function properly.
Steps to reproduce:
- Place down a painting in survival mode by standing 5 blocks away from it.
- Try to break it from that distance.
- Stand 3 blocks away from the painting and try to break it.
Observed result:
Whilst these entities can be placed from 5 blocks away, they cannot be broken unless the player stands 3 blocks away from them.
Expected results:
The breaking/placing distance should be the same and not inconsistent. This isn't an issue in creative.
Confirmed for 1.9-pre4
Still in 1.9.1-pre1
Still in 1.9.1-pre3
Still in 1.9.3-pre2
Confirmed for 1.12-pre5
Took a while to find it, but this is almost certainly caused by the fix to
MC-76493.That'll make this WAI.
Should be reopened, as MC-172289 has had an assignee previously and is not marked as WAI.
MC-172289 is about mobs, judging by the description, and this is about placeable non-mob entities.
Also, this issue was not caused by the fix of
MC-76493. This has been in the game before that.Should be reopened, see two previous comments.
Depending on the desired implementation, either this or MC-172289 should be marked as a duplicate of the other, or one should be closed as WAI - the fix for the two is the same since no other checks in the game discriminate between placeable non-mobs and mobs, only between entities and blocks for reach checks. See my comment on the other issue about that.
Can confirm in 1.19.4 Pre-release 1.
Can confirm in 24w03a
