Known Issues
Bedrock support is still under active development, and bugs are inevitable. Here is a non-exhaustive list of the issues you may run into. We will attempt to keep this up to date.
Please avoid reporting issues already listed here. We cannot do much about them until they are fixed in the underlying software.
Bugs
Movement issues around certain blocks
Movement issues can occur when navigating near non-full blocks, such as stairs, slabs, and especially snow layers. This will manifest as random teleporting, or occasionally becoming entirely stuck. This can be fixed by finding an alternative route, flying around the obstacle in creative mode (if available), or in extreme cases switching back to Java Edition or asking a mod for assistance.
Some blocks do not function correctly
The following blocks will not function correctly, or as expected. You will need to use Java Edition to interact with these, or ask another player for assistance:
- Beacon
- Cartography Table
- Stonecutter
- Loom
- Smithing Table
- Lecterns
Enchantment Tables will function, however they currently do not use the standard GUI. Instead it uses a generic GUI, with the first 2 slots accepting an item and lapis, and the 3 remaining slots showing the enchantment results.
Armor Stand poses won't be visible
All Armor Stands will be in the default pose, and the Armor Stand Editor will appear to have no effect. Armor Stand equipment and names will still be shown.
Riding a Minecart on a vertical rail will eject you randomly
Doors to not animate smoothly
Doors that are opening or closing may appear to move incorrectly, or fail to animate at all. This is purely visual and the door itself is unaffected.
Limitations
Chat links aren't clickable
Bedrock Edition does not currently support many chat features found in Java Edition. This includes clickable links, so any links shown will have to be typed manually.
Unsupported block combinations won't appear
Bedrock has different limitations on block positioning, which can occasionally conflict with things possible in Java Edition.
For example, Plant Pots can be placed on Lecterns in Java Edition, but not in Bedrock Edition. When viewed in Bedrock Edition, the plant pots will be missing.
This also affects item frames, which are considered a block rather than an entity in Bedrock Edition. As a result, any blocks sharing space with an item frame will not be visible in Bedrock Edition.
