Why exactly is this marked WAI? I don't see any devs explicitly confirming that this is intended.
Also, if we assume WAI, why doesn't dark oak have this restriction?
While it works, running laucher as administrator is pretty bad from the security point of view. The admin boundary is not there only against the user.
The launcher embeds a browser window. While the content displayed is usually controlled by Mojang, it might be possible (through DNS spoofing or otherwise) to force the launcher to load and execute malicious code, potentially exploiting bugs in the embedded browser, leading to remote code execution with admin rights. This is usually not a problem with conventional browsers because they are updated silently and often. The embedded browser is updated only whenever the launcher itself updates.
The game process inherits the elevated status from the launcher, so any RCE bug in the game client receives privilege escalation for free.
Updater should ask for admin rights only for the exe replacement, the launcher should be kept in user mode.
I have attached a zip version of the files, since it is not easy to work with TBZ2 on Windows.
Tested in 1.12.2-pre2 for an hour, got a piston duplicated and both hopper pairs lost their item.
Not completely fixed in 18w01a.
Igloos generate without a bed. In the bottom room, brewing stand and cactus in a pot also generate an extra copy of the items inside them on top of them.
Woodland mansion prisons now don't have any doors. Storage rooms with big chests generate correctly along X axis, but generate 2 single chests side by side along Z axis.
In the end cities some small 3x3 tower rooms still lack walls (produces floating spiral staircases).

This is about the stuck state, not the animation. Unable to reproduce in 1.8
Confirmed in 1.8; not consistent - sometimes items do get picked up, needs further testing
Nevermind, this is a duplicate of
MC-8578Confirmed for 1.8
Oh, you are right. I have no idea then.
confirmed for 1.8.1-pre4 :/
confirmed for 1.8.1-pre4, observed the effect for 2-long and 3-long tripwire (does not require 4-long wire as stated in the description)
confirmed for 1.8.3
Still works in 15w42a.
Still a problem in 15w42a
