Brief Description:
I was fighting in the nether with @StanleyMines today when my network connection broke down. (It was my full network, couldn't connect anymore. Download speed went down to an incredible minimum while upload speed going down to a few bytes per second only.
When I was able to reconnect about 2 hours later, I had died. I PM'ed @StanleyMines, he said he had waited for me about 15 minutes to reappear, apparently no items dropped.

Instructions:
1. Play in PvP
2. Lag out while being hit at (Last image before disconnecting was 6 hearts)
3. Wait until able to reconnect again
3. See the death screen.


How many times did you recreate this bug?:
Once...

Result:
A clean inventory instead of my enchanted equipment due to death. :/

Expected Result:
To stay alive when timing out or at least drop the inv when dying.

Evidence:
N/A...all I have are screens of my clean inv. :/

 

So...just found the relevant part in my logs. (Time in CEST, EST+6)

Code:

[19:47:11] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] [ECC-World] You are now in Legacy! This is our 3 year+ map. The legacy of EcoCityCraft. To return to our brand new map use the Rising portal at /spawn.
[19:47:11] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] Error: Time before next teleport: 9 seconds.

Judged by the facts that I somehow got back to legacy and it then showed a TP cooldown, it might be possible that my freezing screen while beginning to lag out registered aone or two accidental hits of my H key which is bound to /home Pi. (Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to where I was when the dying screen occured, I clicked "Respawn" too fast). If that is the case, what happened there? In that case a hit by @StanleyMines could have been registered after leaving the world which caused me to die. We should be able to exclude fall damage or damage from fire/lava because I have pyro+ and had /fly activated.

How would it be possible that I leave the world and then the hit registers? And could that be the reason? That my inv then dropped onto the floor at /home Pi and despawned after? o_O

 

Just tried to bring my network to a similar crash as I experienced that day...my client log shows that macro-home was used again, then I disconnected. This time, however, nothing was lost. I assume it really was because of a hit registering too late...

(I have noticed something that could serve as a base for that, commands and hits take different times to register. Tested in SG with @Exilenela a while ago [While trying something else], my macro worked before the hit although it was activated after I hit him. This is only a side note, however I thought it was worth mentioning because of the hit delay.)

 

Yay, so I was right. Although I don't like being right for once... :D

ABout the TL;DR: MY /home Pi macro has saved my life many times before, so I assume I am still making a profit from prevented deaths. :D

Must. Fix. Network.
