      Update on this issue:

      21/Jan/19 by Mega_Spud
      As mentioned this issue has been fixed in the 1.9 beta version, but we will leave this ticket open as a point of reference until the fix is fully released.

      Workaround: Players have found that placing a pool of water at the world spawn point will often prevent the player from falling to their death when the world is reloaded.

      31/Dec/18 by Auldrick:
      This issue has already been fixed in the beta. We expect it to be fixed in release 1.9 when it becomes available. The release date for 1.9 has not been determined yet. Please limit additional comments to recurrences in the 1.9 Beta releases.

      15/Dec/18 Workaround for Windows 10 by Auldrick:
      After saving and quitting, make sure to export a backup copy of your world before you load it again. (Doing it immediately after saving is the best practice.)
      If you spawn in the wrong place and die, delete the world, then import your backup copy and try again. It worked for me!by

      Samsung Galaxy S7 Active.

      Saved game loaded. Player was near sea level but restored at above cloud level. Gravity worked.

      Edit: confirmed the player was restored directly above the original spawn point, i.e., fell onto the location where player was spawned when the world was created.

      Edit: confirmed still occurs after placing a bed. Fall still takes place over original spawn point, not over the bed.

          Do inventory items get deleted too? Even if you know where they "fell"?

          Had this same issue today, except it was my friend in my world.

          Yodalf At this point I think the issue you are describing would be best tracked in its own ticket - if you could please create a new one with steps to reproduce, it would be appreciated.

          Will you reopen this ?

          Should I open a new one with the demonstration on how to build a platform that will make you log in under bedrock ?

          In my second test yes I respawn a few blocks over 'safe'.

          However as I said in my previous comment I have a case where I respawned under bedrock.

          I suppose that the game checks for a safe place from y=255 to y=0 and if it doesn't find a 'safe' place, you will end up at y=0.

          The fact that the game doesn't consider a glass block a safe place is probably the real bug here.

           

          Leaves instead of glass triger the same bug, however upper slabs are ok.

          Thanks for the information related to respawning near lava - could you confirm what is happening when you respawn though; are you spawning in a safe area still?

          After a bit of tickering, I found that the important factor here is lava.

          What I did :

           - create a 3x3 pool of lava (only one lava source on the center is required)

           - a few air blocks above this create a 3x3 glass platform

           - logout on the glass platform

           - log back in, one block above the lava a few blocks on the side of it.

           

          This is 100% reproductible on my realm. But doesn't seem to happen on worlds.

           

          Lava is the important part, I tried to put water instead or glass blocks and I would log back on the same block I logged out.

          Hi,

           

          This is still occuring all the time in 1.11.4, on realm, with either android app client or windows 10 client.

           

          Logging out on top of glass with  :

          Above :

          • nothing

          Under :

          • lava
          • solid block
          • ocean
          • whatever is under ocean water.

           

          Log back in,

          Instant death under bedrock :

          This happened to me twice, I tried it again to try to anderstand what happened and it happened again.

          So I think this happens all the time, I not really willing to try it too much, since I lost two sets of fully enchented gear already

           

          Logging out on top of glass with  :

          Above :

          • glass
          • air
          • glass
          • air
          • multiple layers of solid block - air - trap doors
          • one solid block
          • one slab

          Under :

          • lava
          • bedrock

          Log back in on the slab :

          This is reproductible 100% of the time.
          I never relogged on the glass block I unlogged on in this area.

           

          I tried to reproduce it on creative without success so far

          I'll ask the owner of the realm for a world copy and see if it can help.

          It was NOT fixed at all. For people that play on BDS anyways. Several people kept dying, spawning somewhere in the sky. I, however, spawned under bedrock, resulting in item loss.

          Since nobody has commented about this happening after the 1.10 release, I assume the remaining issues were fixed. If anyone still has this issue, comment here and I'll review whether to reopen it.
