1.18.155060 - Hand Desynchronization Bug
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Please see this video of the hand desynchronization bug happening to me: https://youtu.be/d3t-w6YP91A

It appears as though the server thought my character had a splitting axe in the hand slot while the client thought the hand slot was empty.

The video starts with my character finishing chopping down a tree using a splitting axe, yielding 3 firewood and 1 long stick.

  • At 0:03, I double-click on the hand slot to move the splitting axe into my inventory.
  • At 0:04, I try to drag one of the firewood into my hands, but when I click and drag, the inventory screen disappears and the mouse movement is interpreted as looking up (I have enabled inverting the Y mouse axis in my settings).
    • At this point, I haven't noticed that the firewood did not move to the hands slot, and move to a nearby shed.
  • At 0:14, I attempt to make a fireplace by dragging a piece of paper onto the hands slot
    • I now notice that the firewood is not in the hands slot, and go back to pick it up again.
  • At 0:23, I hold the F key to try to take the firewood into my hands
    • The action fails, as you can see the "Take to hands [HOLD]" prompt flash briefly
  • At 0:26, I realize the hand slot is bugged and attempt to fix it by disconnecting and reconnecting
  • At 0:42, I begin reconnecting to the server
  • At 1:05, I finish reconnecting
  • At 1:07, I see that the splitting axe is still in the hands slot
  • At 1:08, I double-click the hand slot to move the splitting axe into my inventory
  • At 1:10, I double-click the firewood to successfully move it into my inventory

Hello tjensen.
This has been resolved for the 1.20 update.

Hey @Geez could you clarify, when you say that this has resolved for 1.20, are you referring to just this specific example of desync involving the splitting axe / firewood? Or can we expect to see that hand state desynchronization bugs in general regarding all items will be improved / fixed?

This is specifically for hand desynchronisation upon swapping items and then falling from an object while doing so.

Okay thanks for that additional info. Very nice fixes, appreciate the hard work from yourself and the rest of the team <3
