How often it happens
Very frequently in the area shown below but intermittently and seemingly randomized.
Any screenshots or videos showing the bug
Essentially one moment i can place blocks and the next i cant. The issue can be fixed temporarily by going to a distant location in the build dimension and placing blocks there. The bug only seems to affect this general jungle area of the build dimension. The video documents a specific part of the affected area where there were some recent region edits; here, it’s nearly impossible to place down blocks at all because of the bug happening so frequently.
Edit: there is also a bug that the server seems to predict your position incorrectly: /item will drop an item 2, 5, 10, sometimes 30 blocks away in a particular direction. I’ve found that the distance an item drops away from you may be correlated with the frequency or occurence of the bug described above.
Edit 2: Yes, the bug seems to be based largely on a mismatch between the server’s predicted position of a player and the player’s actual position. Thus, the player can place a block outside the server’s predicted range for that player, and the player’s update is denied or unregistered. For example that I just conducted in game, if I do /item [item] and the item appears 20 blocks east of me, and I subsequently use my ice rod 20 blocks west of me, the server will not register the ice block placement because it thinks I’m too far away to have placed that block. However, in that same position, when I use my ice rod on a spot 15-35 blocks east of me, there’ll be no problem placing the block. Because of this I think the bug can be resolved by fixing the fundamental mismatch between the player’s client side position and their position as registered by the server.
