Never had one like this before.
Thanks a lot to masa for figuring out what the hell was going on.

It use to be that hostile mobs could spawn on leaf blocks if your graphics were set to fast instead of fancy.

EDIT:
Because "fast" leaf blocks are solid blocks, and "fancy" leaf blocks are transparent blocks.

Sorry, but with this intro I need to dance, and I don't know if I'm the only one

[Ultracity]

I remember once upon a time, when if your graphics were on fast you could place torches on leaves, but on fancy you couldn't.

I'm hopping on the "I ♥️ mango's🍋 intro" train because it's just that good.

There was a bug like this before: Previously mobs could spawn on leaves if the graphic settings where set to fast, because then leaves were seen as solid blocks.

This also used to be a thing with suffocation - you suffocated in fast leaves, and didn't in fancy leaves.

There was also an x ray with it that you probably already know about, but that's not really a mechanic

One thing I have noticed at my golem farm. If I do f3-t to reload textures it seems to spawn golems a lot faster. 1.13.

I didn't dance along the intro I swear I readdy didn't

[artimusprimeutube]

Came for insightful viewpoint, kept rewinding the intro! Thanks for all that you do for the community by the way.

well render distance always affected game mechanics

[MaizumaGames]

This bug has been used for some time as an x-ray machine :-]

[Ligands]

Love the new intro, and thank you for making it quieter :P

[sausytime]

There's the intro again <3
Also, that's quite an interesting bug.

Bugs & glitches similar to this have been around since the beginning. Way back in Alpha/early Beta, if you played on fast graphics you could place doors on leaves. One of Etho's early LP videos shows this.

[casswedson]

I bet the intro music is from somewhere in Colombia or am I wrong
I surely heard it before

[MuzikBike]

There was a similar case a big while ago. At one point they removed the ability to place torches on leaves, but only on fancy graphics, if i remember correctly.

Nice Tropico 5 intro for your channel comrade :)

[glez]

Hey ilmango ur intro sounds like some mexican cumbia :) cheers

[player-hwpe]

It may be something to do with leaves in fast and fancy graphics. You can’t see through leaves in fast graphics but you can in fancy graphics.

Makes you wonder how a bug like this ends up in the game in the first place. It's just so random.
