Minecraft gets wall-running and double-jumps – thanks to a bug

Just before the weekend, Minecraft picked up a feature you'd usually associate with fast-paced shooters such as Titanfall and recent Calls of Duty: wall-running. It was an easily replicable bug introduced in a 'snapshot' update (Minecraft builds its major updates in slices called snapshots, rolled out to players for beta testing on a voluntary basis). The snapshot is 19W04A, and in the notes for that update, developer Mojang acknowledges a bug that means you can't jump when pressed up against a blog. That this results in wall-running was spotted by NatalieZem on Reddit (via Kotaku), who gave the following explanation: "This isn’t a trick or a prank or anything. In the recent snapshot, you can’t jump while pressing against a block. And apparently not being able to raise your elevation also means you can’t lower it either. Try it for yourself: All you need to do is stay sprinting into the wall and you can move along it."
