Same issue as this one MCPE-12281.









that's important should not change , you can change the name tag but not in the GUI
It was tested on PC Edition
[QA] Janosik closed this issue as "Won't Fix" but why? He/she gave us no explanation.
Is [QA] tag stands for "Questions & Answers"?
It's probably "Quality Assurance." I hope it's not "Quiet Abandoner"
Can someone reopen this issue? [QA] Janosik resolved this issue as "Won't Fix" for no reason.
It isn'Ta bug, You can't do this!
marco ruggiero, can not do what? You can do this with Chest and Trapped Chest, but Furnace, Dropper, etc (list on the description) they do not display the name.
This happens with chest. Confirmed in version 0.14.1 and 0.14.2 Minecraft Windows 10 Edition Beta.
Affects 0.14.3
Confirmed for 0.15.0 on Windows 10. Affects all blocks with GUIs.
To clarify for those confused, in the Java edition you can name a chest, dropper, etc. in an anvil, and when placed, the block will keep it's name in the GUI in place of the default "Chest" or "Dropper" name normally shown. Breaking the blocks will cause them to lose their name, however.
Of course, I'm not sure if this feature was ever even added to PE/Win10, so the reason it doesn't work may be due to the fact that it may never have been added in the first place.
Affects 1.0 Beta.
I believe in 1.11, the GUI issue was fixed when breaking the renamed blocks.
Confirmed on mcpe version 1.0.1 using classic gui on iPad Air 2 iOS 10.2
Affects 1.0.3.
Affects 1.0.4.0.
Fixed as of 1.1.0.0
