Crashing/System
Bugs

undefined i can't play the game because after it says java everything is with complete lag and even if i cilck something it does do anything, just moves extremely with a ton of lag. It hasn't crashed/freeze (only if minecraft is not responding) so i try re-installing Minecraft/deleting .minecraft folder and go on minecraft for it to download packages almost everyday, Im not know why its doing this but i can play other random games ect. its sad 'cuase i only gotta play the 1.3.2 minecraft update once and also even the browser minecraft doesn't work so i really am confused.

i can't get the game to work at all after i added the Uranium Mod. i got rid of the uranium files but it still does not work. here is the crash report:

undefined

!! The game crashed when I tried to join a LAN server. I just noticed there's an IP conflict.. my hotel's router gave me 192.168.1.2, my VPN got me on 192.168.1.243, and the server in the VPN'ed LAN is also 192.168.1.2.

!! Whenever I go into a mutiplayer server, it seems to always crash, with a slim chance of it working. It never happened to me with 1.3.1. Here's the crash report:

undefined
 * Never happened with 1.3.1? Crashes with this JRE version (Java 6 Update 15) have been reported. In any case, your Java is way out of date and this is almost certainly the cause of your problem. -- Featherwinglove 12:29, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I fixed the grammar and capitalisation, put the bug in the correct section, the crash report inside a crash template for you and added the crash bug tag. Please pay more attention to grammar and capital letters next time - it makes your report just that bit harder to read, and that in turn makes Mojang's job harder than it needs to be. --82.69.54.207 22:51, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Is your minecraft modded? --188.238.242.198 05:55, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Update your Java, you are using 6u22; the current version is 7u5. -- Featherwinglove 12:29, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Java version is quite unlikely a cause in this case, Minecraft can run on Java all the way back to version 1.5. It is probably just a glitch. --Wormy14 20:30, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

!! This is my crash report file: undefined --Shauna 08:35, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined lan On Debian, /etc/hosts usually maps the laptop's own hostname to 127.0.1.1, an alternative loopback address (e.g. "127.0.1.1 mylaptop.mydomain mylaptop" - all of 127.0.0.0/8 is loopback). When a Minecraft-on-Debian user advertises their single-player game to the LAN, the multicast announcement comes from their LAN IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.2), but the server only listens on 127.0.1.1 and announces that address in the multicast packet, e.g. [AD]127.0.1.1:58388[/AD], making other machines unable to join. --smcv
 * This isn't a Minecraft bug. Your host config is broken - i.e. it says your host name is the loopback device, it happens on other OSes as well. At best it is a feature request where the "Open to Lan" form should ask what NIC you want to open the game on -- Warjort
 * It's the standard configuration for at least Debian 6 and Ubuntu 11.10, and anything with libnss-myhostname - they map the hostname to loopback because a typical desktop/laptop doesn't have any other permanent addresses, only temporary DHCP-assigned addresses, and various apps (like Minecraft) make the mistake of assuming that the result of hostname is a meaningful DNS name (on a typical desktop/laptop, it isn't). If Minecraft listened on 0.0.0.0 or :: (all local IPv4 or IPv6 addresses at once), and used the address from which it received the multicast advertisement as the address to connect to, it wouldn't need to distinguish between NICs at all, and LAN games would "just work". --smcv
 * Actually that's a common misconception, 0.0.0.0 is the "any" address not the "all" address. But I would agree that it is probably a better default than java's InetAddress.getLocalHost.getAddress which is what appears to be used currently.

!! Any time I try running Minecraft, I get an instant crash from the Mojang splash screen. This also happened right after updating, so my .jar is vanilla. --TheUltamate 04:14, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Demo version
Bugs

undefined I'm not sure where to report this. So I understand if the demo is bugged but when I try playing Minecraft Classic it tells me "An error occurred while loading the applet. Please contact support to resolve this issue. Fatal error occured (5): A device attached to the system is not functioning" meanwhile the Demo says "Failed to launch Fatal error occurred (5): A device attached to the systeem is not functioning Extracting: windows_natives.jar.lzma to windows_natives.jar." I have played this game on my cousin's computer and I am really wanting to buy it but I am worried that this error will happen on the actual Minecraft game. Anyone have any ideas about this? --Jason


 * Does not belong here, because bug in Minecraft Classic. --Kumasasa 05:54, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm just concerned that if I buy the game I won't be able to play it. I have tried posting on the Minecraft forums and heard nothing. This is the last place I have tried using. --Jason
 * Why don't you play the demo of the current Minecraft version ? Go to Minecraft Demo, register an account and play !--Kumasasa 06:09, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * That is the other problem. The demo hasn't been working just like Minecraft Classic so I have no idea if the actual game will work. --Jason
 * It asks if I want to update if I say yes it tries to load but then says "Failed to launch Fatal error occurred (5): A device attached to the systeem is not functioning Extracting: windows_natives.jar.lzma to windows_natives.jar." and if I say not now instead it will load and then say "Done Loading" but the loading bar isn't full and it just stays that way. --Jason

Gameplay
Bugs

! mp Noticeable server lag on connect, sometimes resulting in a disconnect.overflow. Has been tested on two separate VPS' with a fresh run of Minecraft_Server.exe. Performing the same test in 1.2.5, everything is absolutely fine. Copying the newly generated 1.3.2 world to a 1.2.5 server also shows the issue is limited to 1.3. Interestingly this only happens with the Default world type (happens in the Nether too) but not in freshly generated Flatlands worlds. A better example of this in action is with Bukkit and multiple worlds

! When I eat food, sometimes it automatically eats another one of that type of food. It doesn't even play the animation, it just makes the sound, and takes my food. This is really annoying as this bug normally happens when I am already nearly full and don't want to eat anymore.
 * unsure if this is related, but sometimes when i eat food on Bukkit it tends not to refill hunger like it should, instead wastes it as a resource.

! Similar to 1.3.1, when entering the nether on my MP server the world sometimes fails to load. You and any surrounding mobs just bob up and down in nothingness nigh-endlessly. (Eventually I began to suffocate and upon reconnecting, I found I was at the level of lava, inside the ground.) This is identical to the falling through the world bug in 1.3.1 except you don't die right away, and it gives you more time to disconnect and reconnect. You still might end up BELOW your portal, though, which could land you in lava. --Zair99 19:23, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Similar to this bug and probably the same problem but on our server, you appear 1 block lower than the portal (i.e. You're in it). Most of the time you eventually appear at the correct height but then the portal is activated again and if you don't move quick enough, you get transported back to where you came from. Happened in 1.3.1. --Denney 13:52, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm getting a bug where travel between dimensions in general cause problems. Sometimes I end up in random locations, and on occasion I get a "network error" message where the game simply crashes altogether on single player.  There still seems to be some sort of portal bug error in place.  --Robert Horning 07:13, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * In 1.3.1 our server had one overworld portal that when used would lead to a fall through the nether glitch every time you used it. In 1.3.2 every portal will do it, but only occasionally, so you can now fall through the nether or fall through the overworld. Also, once I disconnected during a fall in the overworld, and when I reconnected I was in a cavern fifty blocks below the portal, so there's that. RVernon 15:02, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

! Mobs and other players sometimes glitch in the ground making them black or not visible at all.  QuAd205 ( T 14:05, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I can confirm this. Mostly seen with villagers and iron golems. --Denney 05:46, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

! I seem to be taking fall damage from falls from 2-block high ledges and even from just jumpingin the prerelease--213.118.132.164 21:26, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It does seem that falling damage has been tweaked a bit. I need to fall from a 3 block height (or jump from 2 block height) to take damage. Places that used to leave the player with a heart or two now kill you. --Denney 13:45, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Major. Died like that in Hardcore. --Blackbird626 22:10, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed, on my MP server I sometimes take damage from 2 blocks high. A 4 block fall took off 2 hearts. I nearly died going down a mountain before I figured out what was going on! In SP it was a little better, with a 4 block fall doing 1/2 heart, and a 7 block fall doing 2.5. --Zair99 22:57, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Same here, i am getting hurt at 3 block drops in some servers. SP 3 block drops don't hurt me as often, but still on occasion do.

! /tp command is broken dimension-to-dimension. Scenario: Player1 is in the overworld. Player2 is in the nether. Player1 use command /tp Player1 Player2. Player2 is teleported to where Player1 would be if he/she where in the nether. Tested on LAN server. This is surely not supposed to happen. Partonetrain

!mp The invisible blocks phenomenon reappeared, especially when digging down a pillar. The view is shaking until leaving and reentering the game. --Kumasasa 20:55, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * This happens very consistently when digging down on a dirt pillar, about a 20-30% chance per block you try to dig. This is on vanilla MP, linux server, OSX client. There are no errors in the server log. --RogerWilco2
 * (Merged duplicate --Kumasasa 23:38, 18 August 2012 (UTC)) The 'sinking into blocks and getting stuck' bug seems to be getting stranger. I'd pillared up into the sky on leaf blocks, got jammed, tried both jumping and removing the blocks around me, and ended up marooned in mid-air. Plenty of time to look around, take a screenshot, etc. The other consistent symptom I see is that while stuck you vibrate up and down by about 1/16 of a block several times a second. Pausing and resuming, and even quitting and reloading the world (but I didn't quit the Miecraft app itself) did not fix matters. However, after the quit and reload a block that I'd destroyed reappeared, and when I rebroke that I fell out of the trap and could resume my game. --82.69.54.207 22:07, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate --Kumasasa 17:53, 20 August 2012 (UTC)) Since the upgrade to 1.3.2 I have had this problem twice. Never before then, so I assume it has something to do with the upgrade.  (In fact, if I remember right, the first time this happen was the very first time I logged on after 1.3.2 was installed.)  As soon as I log into single player and get to point of gameplay, the game is immediately trembling vertically.  It is as though I am constantly trying to jump when there is no space available to do so, only it also prevents me from being able to move around.  (I can turn within a single point, but cannot leave that point.)  The first time this happened, I was eventually able to get my Player to enter the bed, and when it got up the problem went away.  The second time, there is no bed available, and it just keeps on trembling.  Was occassionally able to place blocks, but could not remove them.  If I log of and log back on, nothing changes.  It seems as though gameplay is permanently disabled until I can get this problem resolved at this point.

undefined Building a water tram (or EATS) in which the boat runs on ice caused the boat to become glitched, so that it will move only in a straight line, going through blocks, and floating through air until it slows to a stop (after it leaves the water streams) upon stopping, it will warp back to the start of the track and continue until it is broken at the start. After it touches the ice on every iteration, it cannot be left or right clicked. Just after it leaves the end of the track, it will drip water, and won't collide with the player until it dries off. I have no idea how this happened, and I have no idea where to put this report, so it could be misplaced. George_Mallory 22:02, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

undefinedcr When flying over great distances in creative mode, you obtain enough inertia to be propelled very far. How to reproduce: enter flying mode and fly 1000 metres in a certain direction (e.g. f:0). When you've reached the 1000 metre mark, let go of the forward key. You should keep flying for another 700 metres before you come to a stop.

smp Randomly, when entering or exiting the Nether, experience appears to get reset to 0. Happens on our multi-player server to multiple people. Happened on 1.3.1 as well. --Denney 13:50, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined When I was playing creative mode, there was a lightning storm, and the fire from it never burned down. This is on Windows Vista. I really don't know what category to place this into. Cookie FONster 13:59, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I have witnessed this twice in 1.3.1 and once in 1.3.2 in SSP (which is strange in itself given I've only witnessed one lightning storm in several hundred hours of gameplay since lightning was introduced -- is lightning more frequent now?). The fire persists even after logging out or moving far enough away for the chunk containing the fire to be unloaded; however, the fire will be gone when logging out with the chunk unloaded then returning to that area. --Be unreasonable. 13:20, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I saw this in 1.3.1 SMP (I had also never seen a lightning strike ground before). I stepped into the fire and the flames that indicate that you are burning appeared on the screen. The fire wasn't really there so I didn't receive any damage though. Kp 22:10, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep, I'll confirm this for v1.3.1 and v1.3.2. Fire persists for quite a while. Walking into it indicates you're on fire but doesn't do any damage. --Denney 05:37, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined When filling up water/milk/lava in stacked buckets, it will usually result in an extra duplicate of the filled bucket. This might affect gameplay, since they can exploit this to cheat. Tested with 2 stacked buckets, and filled them with water, got 3 water buckets.

undefined Got into a boat which was slightly on land when I got in. Set off slowly, but did not speed up. After about 30 blocks of slow progress, got out of the boat and teleported 30 blocks back to where I'd got on, with the boat 30m away at the point where I'd given up. Simlar to the EATS road boat glitch also, but not quite the same.

aSMP Right clicking on a chest twice in rapid succession causes the chest to do strange things while you are still accessing it's contents- Just an artifact, I suppose. The chest will sometimes stay open, will sometimes close behind the GUI and remain closed, and sometimes will stay open, even after the GUI is closed, and then never open/close again. Multiplayer users agree with chest's position- Only fix is to destroy the chest, but it has no affect on gameplay- Just a visual thing. 72.93.203.126 02:49, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

a! Block update lag mouse input issues still persist, with multiple place, multiple switch/door/gate frobs, and even multiple breaks happening on a regular basis. I'm not sure why block update lag spikes are getting worse, but it might just be time for me to get a better system. Nevertheless, I was, and still am hoping to see one update per frame when I let go of my mouse button before the frame in which I pressed it is over. Griefing my own SSP game like Team Avolition was pretty funny, but it gets old fast! -- Featherwinglove 12:53, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Update: Starting with version 1.3.1, I began to experience block placements on subsequent frames, and this is how most triples occur (A "triple" is a single commanded block placement happening on one frame followed by two uncommanded block placements on the next frame.) If I am placing a block where two possible subsequent placements may occur without moving the crosshair, the commanded placement appears on one frame, which lag spikes for about a quarter of a second, by the end of which I have released the RMB.  After this frame, the two subsequent uncommanded placements appear about half a second after I have released the RMB, on the same frame and with a single placement sound audible.  There are also many occasions where the lag spike does occur, but unintended placements do not; almost all of this correct behaviour occurs with placements at eye level, while unintended placements are usually made after an intended placement above or below eye level.  Unintended placements after a deliberate placement above eye level usually go into eye level; this is an effect of my branch closure technique, so I believe that the likelihood of unintended placements depend on the relative altitude of the commanded placement.  I have verified this eye level correlation by often commanding placements at three metres distance so that the two subsequent uncommanded placements have room between the commanded displacement and the character.  I have also noticed that switching off smooth lighting makes the lag spike and unintended torch placements less severe, but I don't think this is relevant.  Turning off smooth lighting has had no effect on the occurrence or duration of lag spikes and uncommanded placements associated with zero-luminance blocks like brick and cobblestone.  I have noticed that block update lag spikes and uncommanded placements happen much more often at void fog altitudes (below Y=16).  Whether this is due to void fog or proximity to lava, I'm not sure. -- Featherwinglove 04:28, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

a! (Yes, this is at least as important as a minor bug). Just tested a 1.3.1 client connecting to a 1.3.2 server. The initial load of the screen and low responsive-ness at start got me blasted by a creeper before I knew what happened.
 * In single-player, a non-responsive game slows down everyone -- even the mobs -- and you don't get blind-sided.
 * In normal play, you can see areas where there are lots of mobs, and if you pay attention, you can get warning sounds of mobs before you reach them.
 * But when logging in, when there is nothing you can do? That's just cheap. --Keybounce 14:32, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I believe the reason for cross connection to servers was intended for versions without major additions, such as 1.3.2 compared to 1.3.1, because even though lots of fixes were made, no actual item or block updates were added. In addition, most 1.2.4 mods worked with 1.2.5 just as well, and also were allowed to connect from 1.2.5 to 1.2.4. Tested vanilla, not Bukkit.

a Okay, so I've found two bugs that are very irritating: one is when I go into my chest and get something to uses it, when I use the item it decides to go back into the chest I got it from, I loaded the update hoping it'd fix it but nope, still there. The other glitch is the inability to use any block that is interactable (crafting tables, etc.) and makes it impossible to use it without re-logging on. -Aidandrums

a Sometimes your skin will revert to default for no apparent reason. Changing your skin and reloading Minecraft doesn't seem to fix this. (noticed too, my red shirt sometimes changes to blue, however changes back again at the next time I log in (certain))

 * One reason iv'e found for this: When installing mods with the mcpatcher, I installed the Biospheres mod from Risugami, straight from the forums. After unpatching and repatching, my skin was changed from my custom creeper spy skin back to Steve. Once I went to minecraft.net and rechanged my skin it was changed. This is something that hasn't happened to me before, in 1.3.1 and below my skin was almost always an HL2 zombie from PMC, i only had a couple of instances where my skin was changed, usually it was my fault for an invalid skin and my lack of paying attention.

aSpawn locations on servers have blocks protected from any changes (mining, placing blocks...). I know it has it's purpose on public servers but on private servers it's only annoying. There should be ability to set this behavior True/False in server settings.
 * It would certainly be really helpful if you got stronger feedback on where the 'forbidden' zone is. A 'clunk' noise instead of the normal digging or block-placing sound, for example. --82.69.54.207 23:10, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * do this sound familiar? Try it. If that doesn't work, then there truly is bug. --188.238.242.198 06:13, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry but what do you mean by ? I don't see anything like that in Properties file and when I add it (spawn-protection=false), nothing happens. It also isn't listed in available commands list. Workaround for this is /op command which, unfortunately, has a side effect of allowing cheats for op-ed players.
 * Well seems like when they reworked whole property system, they forgot about . There used to be property with that name. I would move this to bugs. --193.209.11.38 17:32, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

a! When moving in one direction for a random amount of time, and/or moving and placing/destroying blocks, my movement sticks, and goes in the direction I was moving. This also happens when I jump and when I sneak. It get's really annoying and messes me up a lot, most notably when I'm flying and placing blocks in creative. I believe this does not work on windows 7, but it does happen on windows xp service pack 3. Since this doesn't happen on all computers im not sure how to reproduce.
 * I experience this problem with a computer that's old enough to have shipped with Windows XP but currently runs Windows 7. I suspect that it is slow hardware block update related lag spikes that is causing this. -- Featherwinglove 12:53, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I experience this problem many times. I know that the Wiki records my IP but this is not mine, my real computer runs a quad core processor along with graphics that easily allow for Far Cry 2 to have maximum settings and still no lagging from the game. No idea what far cry 2 is? look it up on google, I guarantee you will find it. either way, my actual system is a real computer, not some crappy laptop or netbook or notebook or whatever. I know it's not just my wireless keyboard, because iv'e played with a wired one after my wireless one needed new AAAs for it. Currently runs Windows XP, plan to get windows 7 installed soon. I've had this glitch rarely in other games too. But i think that this is related to the 1.3 update, because i never had this problem until after some updates in 1.2.5 all the way down to when i got it, back in the first version of the full release. Also never had this problem in snapshots for the 1.3 update.

a Mining obsidian gives no experience. -- Featherwinglove 13:47, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Before someone says "intended behaviour to prevent abuse", let me point out that it takes 15sec to mine obsidian with a normal diamond pickaxe. I'm certain that if I placed and mined one obsidian block over and over again and each cycle gave me a tenth of a level, and I challenged Etho to a race to level fifty where my own method of gaining experience was limited to such an "abuse", he'd win with any of a dozen mob grinder types (and I've yet to see PETA or SHARK bother him for abusing mobs that way, lol.) I'd also say that if someone was going to invest the experience into a high efficiency pick for such "abuse", he deserves to get it back. Therefore, I think mining obsidian should get at least a little experience. -- Featherwinglove 13:47, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

a While helmets are more expensive and generally provide the same defense than boots, they have less durability than boots, thus, their greater cost does not give a real benefit over boots
 * I agree this is a big imbalance. My recommendation for fixing it is to have helmets give protection against fall damage as default (i.e. without Feather Falling enchantment). Not only would this redress the balance, but it is consistent with reality, while having a Minecraft-like attitude because it is impossible to land on your head in game. -- Featherwinglove 14:15, 18 August 2012 (UTC) (P.S.: Still, I like my boots!)


 * Actually, the recipe for helmets take 1 more resource than the boots one, therefore the durability of helmets should be increased. We could make a proportion to discover how much.

Mobs/NPCs/Animals
Bugs

! Creepers in soul sand make very low damage, while other mobs works well.

! Tamed wolves that are left sitting will randomly teleport to your location, either individually or collectively. I cannot determine a specific trigger. It can occur within a few minutes of having a wolf "sit" or up to an hour later, but it always seems to happen at least once an hour. This can occur both when they are within the loaded chunk radius (assuming the max. radius is still 17x17 chunks around the player) or in an unloaded chunk up to two such radii away, but it does not appear to affect tamed wolves more than three such radii away nor does it happen when they are within the same chunk as the player. To test this I have left three groups of three tamed wolves (two adults and one cub in each group) at three different locations, two roughly 90 blocks away from each other, one group closer than the other to where I was exploring a vast cave system, and one group roughly 900 blocks away. The most distant group never teleported to me so the following refers to the two closer groups. At different times I have had teleport to me (when walking, mining, placing torches or blocks, but interestingly never when I'm in combat): just one cub, just one adult, two adults, all four adults, four adults and one cub, two adults and two cubs, and all six wolves. --Be unreasonable. 19:56, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Cats do the same thing, at least on SMP. To me it seems to be somewhat related to chunk loading, as it always happens when returning to the area of my base (where the cats/dogs are). It will often kill the cats/dogs as my base has many cactuses around it. --RogerWilco2

! When tamed wolves "teleport" to keep up with the player (unrelated to the above bug), they may teleport onto a ledge and immediately fall off, possibly to their death. Sometimes this is due to the wolf teleporting onto the same block as the player and getting "pushed off" before the player can react, and other times they seem to fall off on their own, either due to faulty pathfinding or possibly they simply "landed" on an air block rather than a solid block.
 * Once, a wolf teleported from the ground to 30 blocks directly above it (where I was building a direction marker) and then it immediately fell off for no apparent reason. As I was directly above the wolf and in the same chunk before it teleported, there was no reason for the wolf to teleport up to me in the first place. --Be unreasonable. 20:21, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I"ve noticed this in SP as well.

! When I transport villagers long distances by mine cart, there professions are lost and they all return to the farmer skin with farmer trade options. I don't know how I would get this on camera, because as soon as a mine cart with a villager leaves a 40 block perimeter of the original village, the villager disappears, which may also be a bug. The villager reappears when the mine cart is broken, but becomes a farmer.

 * Do the available trade items for that villager remain the same or are they reset when the villager becomes a farmer? If you've spent the emeralds to get a villager to have five or six available trades, or even just one very good trade, and they lose it when they enter a minecart, I'd consider that a major bug. --Be unreasonable. 21:14, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm still seeing this too. Notably, when a mob should jump up a block to reach a floor, they often instead wade through the topmost layer of blocks, with only their top half protruding.  There may be a connection to the presence of gravel in the "should've jumped" area.  Also, my cows and sheep are still walking through fences, though they're hesitant about it -- until they get well clear of the fence, they're likely to drift back.  I suspect my chickens are still suffocating each other in crowds, too.  --Mental Mouse 23:36, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined Villagers and animals tend to occupy one side of the village/pen. There are houses stuffed with villagers on one side and forever empty on the other side of the village. Almost all animals are in 1 corner of a pen. Both villagers and animals prefer north-west side of their village/pen.

None of my pens has more than 20 of any one type of animal, but villagers will crowd regardless of numbers which I think is because of their AI behaviour with regard to doors, and since (I believe) animals are supposed to crowd around light sources, could this be a factor in what you're seeing, possibly crowding around a light source at night and not "resetting" during the day? Also, I play SSP on normal without mods in case that makes a difference. --KADC - &#34;Be unreasonable.&#34; 19:03, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't have any mods installed but I exaggerated a bit with description. Anyway here is a screenshot: imgur.com/xqSpI. As far as I know animals are attracted by light and grass and my animals have both in whole pen.
 * Looking at your screenshot, with some of the animals spread around normally but most of them crowded along the fence, I wonder if the animal AI is trying to disperse them away from the population centre when a certain density is reached. If this is the case, since villagers are able to open doors, if they had the same "dispersion" AI combined with a check to see how many villagers share the block(s) on the other side of a door, it could solve the villager crowding problem. --KADC - &#34;Be unreasonable.&#34; 17:18, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

a sp Cows, while trying to get through a fence gate following a player holding wheat, will jostle each other in front of the fence gate but will not allow other cows to pass through because the passive mob pathfinding algorithm does not have any code that determines whether a mob will give way to another mob in order to let multiple mobs through. Ideally, non-aggressive mobs should form some order when attempting to pass through a gate and both allow other mobs to pass through and give them reasonable space to do so.

a connected textures are nice but you need to add a method of manually cycling the rotation of a block. the fact that you cannot cycle through texture orientations when placing connected blocks is annoying because the game tries to guess which way to orient the texture based on the way the avatar is facing and not what the blocks around it are doing. this leads to mismatched and really ugly screw ups in the orientation of joined textures.
