Glitches in Minecraft are not something rare, especially when we are talking about the game's Bedrock Edition. From glitches that stop loading things to those that make mobs disappear, the variety is surprising. Thankfully, most bugs and errors do not majorly affect the gameplay, and sometimes, these can be quite hilarious. And someone has discovered one that perfectly fits in the "hilarious" category.

A Minecraft player and Reddit user named u/icenli shared a very short video clip on the game's subreddit showing how their horse, which they named Sultan, just kept spinning like a fidget spinner. They also mentioned that it would not stop spinning. This was certainly a glitch and the OP made this post to find an answer. Instead, they got a lot of funny replies.

A user named u/Sir-Penta commented that the horse is the real Sultan of Swing, which is a reference to the popular song Sultan of Swing by the British band Dire Straits. Another user named u/TheFozyx commented that the horse is actually the Sultan of Spin, owing to its non-stop spinning.

But the fun did not stop there. Another user named u/EmotionalMessUwU commented that perhaps the horse really likes her new name and that’s the reason why it's gleefully spinning around. Meanwhile, u/FurryBrony98 commented on the lyrics of the song You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) by the band Dead or Alive.

A Redditor named u/samuelhax continued the joke by saying that a primed TNT would stop the horse from spinning. However, not all comments were jokes. Some users gave possible reasons as to why this spinning bug could be happening.

A Redditor named u/QueenAshley296 commented that the real reason why the horse is spinning is because it is standing on the azalea plant. Another user named u/DuCKDisguise mentioned that for some reason, mobs in Minecraft tend to just stand on top of some blocks and start spinning around, with this being an example.

Minecraft player u/ HxC-Redemption mentioned how one time their bees started spinning as they made a bee sanctuary with azalea bushes. Another user named u/Sany_Wave commented that bees tend to party while they pollinate, referring to how bees actually dance as a form of language to communicate.


Minecraft gameplay's relationship with bugs

This is not the first time a user has reported a bug in the game. It is common knowledge that Minecraft Bedrock is buggy, and sometimes, these can be painfully annoying as well. Recently, a player shared a video on Reddit showing how a ruined portal just appeared in the distance, only to disappear when approached.

Hopefully, Mojang Studios will work on all the different bugs that actually affect the gameplay experience in the upcoming updates. But till then, all we can do is have a laugh at the hilarious bugs that players find.
