''' Use the Discussion page first before editing any bugs onto this page. ''' Bugs can be confirmed by checking into the discussion page and make sure other people reply to your report and have the same problem.

= Bugs = ''Bug Labels: Major bugs will be labeled with [!] before it. Bugs that can crash Minecraft or a server will be labeled with [!!] before it. Minor bugs reports will be labeled with [X] before it. Possible bugs/features that you and the community (on the discussion page) are unsure about will be labeled with [?] before on this page. Bugs that Jeb tested but was unable to reproduce, he will label  [U] .''

Blocks

 *  [U]  Blocks are not always what they seems to be. For example a dirt block can look like a Stone block. If you destroy the block you get the dirt block. Placing a torch show you the real blocks.


 * [X] When in inventory White Stone is unnamed.


 * [X] Lily pads appear grey in your inventory instead of the biome shade.


 * [X] When a pressure plate is activated when logging in it will stay activated until you destroy it or quit.


 * [?] Lily pads can be gathered by placing a block directly beneath them.


 * [X] Lily pad appears inside the boat when you sail over it.


 * [X] The End portal blocks (the ones filled with stars) can be broken without the surrounding portal blocks disappearing. The expected result is either the portal block respawning, or the portal itself to turn off.


 * [X] Two glass panes set beside each other will have a line dividing them on one side, but be clear on the other side.


 * [?] Moving water does not push Ignited TNT blocks.


 * [X] If you build a sand tower(<=12 blocks) on a piston, plugged to a clock, most of the sand will disappear after few cycles.


 * [X] Using an axe with the silk touch enchantment on a pine or birch tree will only drop oak wood (not pine or birch wood)

Crashing

 * [!] After a crash, enchantments seem to disappear from all items in Inventory.
 * [!] [U]  Sometimes, the game crashes when player attacks a spider.


 * [!] [U]  Occasionally, the game displays switching worlds then crashes.
 * [!] [U]  Sometimes, when mining gravel with an enchanted pickaxe, the saving chunks crash happens.

Files

 * [X] For new maps, the MB size in the world file under the Singleplayer menu will not change, it will stay at 0 MB. For existing worlds, the size in MB will not change when exploring new areas.

Gameplay

 *  [U]  An Eye of Ender will not always point to the nearest stronghold containing an Air Portal (confirmed on a map with a nearby stronghold). Probably occurs on maps generated with the debug stronghold located at (0, 0). When starting the game in pre-4, that stronghold doesn't "exist" any longer.
 * [X] Although, when picking up all the lost experience orbs after your death, you seem to get more points that you had before. This might be due a bug in the possible feature above.
 * [X] When brewing, swapping the ingredient at the very last second before it is applied will apply the ingredient you changed it to rather than restarting the brewing timer for the new ingredient -- Requires good timing.
 * [X] Mobs are not affected by the movement speed modifier of the "Splash Potion of Swiftness" rank one or two, players still function properly.
 * [X] When you plant 3 seeds in a row on a dirt block with water on the same level the seeds will disappear.
 * [X] If you land on the bottom of the Void while in a boat in The End, the boat will disappear but may leave you perfectly safe to walk around. Any jumping will cause you to start taking damage normally.
 * [X] when you place a block next to a fence and stand directly on the new extended space and destroy the block next to it, you can walk inside the fence.
 * [?] You cannot create Splash version of Potion of Regeneration II (possibly a feature?)
 * [?] When you drink a "Potion of Fire Resistance II" and try to swim in the lava, this does no damage to the player, but when you jump in a block you receive all the damage not received when swam in lava. This happened in the Nether.
 * [X] If you place an enchanted item in a Chest or Storage Minecart and then break the chest/cart with a sword, your items will drop but all the enchantments will be gone.
 * [X] If you place an torch above a noteblock, the noteblock will not play.
 * [X] If you sit in a minecart on rails and save and quit to the title and play your world again, the minecart will duplicate on further down on the rails for a random number.
 * [?] After you enchant a sword in SMP, when you try to block, the sword will rapidly switch from the blocking stance to the normal position. It does not happen for normal swords.
 * [X] Redstone-triggered mechanisms such as Sticky Piston Doors don't operate properly returning to the Overworld from the Nether until redstone torches are removed and reset
 * [X] When making a sapling grow being next to a stone bricks wall some of their leaves will sometimes appear in the other side of it.
 * [X] Critical hits are done to minecarts when you punch one when your sitting in it.

Graphical

 * [X] Holding an enchanted item turns hotbar transparent
 * [X] While in front 3rd person view under the effects of a potion, the potion swirls are not visible around the player.
 * [X] Enchanted Items don't have the glowing effect in unlit areas.

Lighting

 * [X] The cut into Stone Brick Stairs, Nether Brick Stairs, and Brick Stairs is not rendered properly.


 * [X] Chests, Enchantment Books, and other objects have lighting issues dependent on the angle from which they are viewed, sometimes appearing black.
 * [?] Experience Orbs are black when not in The Neather, unless in lit areas.
 * [X] When wolves are wet, they turn black.

Maps

 * [X] After -3000 blocks on z-axis and x-axis, generates only endless ocean.
 * Maps who are generated before 1.8, do change the biomes!

Mobs

 *  [U]  Sometimes mobs spawn in daytime above ground in the sunlight.
 *  [U]  Mobs will sometimes spawn in a well lit room.
 * [X] If you strike an Enderman in The End, no hit animation (Enemy turns red and is pushed back) is displayed. If you kill an Enderman in The End, It will only fall over and dissapear with no other animations.
 * [X] Mobs will not run away from you if they are in water if hit.
 * [?] Monsters don't spawn in hardcore mode if one switches from peaceful difficulty to a Hardcore world.
 * [X] Animal Mobs eventually escape when penned in by fencing. [multi-player and single-player]
 * [X] When breeding in SMP, baby animals have the adult's model and sound effects rather than the smaller baby model. They still do not drop resources until they have become adults, but there is no visual change.

Multiplayer Related

 * [!] When you shut down a server, it does not wait for all data to be saved to disk. save-all does nothing. stop does not wait for data to be saved..
 * This would seem to be fixed after 1.9pre3
 * [!] Some chunks will not save the changes. When you leave and then return the area will be back to its original state. (Confirmed on two machines)
 * [!] When a server is closed certain chunks do not save changes, restarting achieves nothing, appears to be the same chunks everytime that have problems, modifiying the chunks sing MCedit also achieves nothing - keeps reverting to a much earlier save.
 * [X] If you die, you respawn in the Sky Dimension
 * [X] Snowgolems are still invisible
 * [X] Animals spawn full sized animals after breeding instead of baby animals
 * [X] Endermen can place blocks in otherwise illegal positions. For example, an Endermen can pick up a cactus and later place it on a log block.

Memory/CPU General

 * [!] CPU usage is always 100% on server even without people playing.
 * [?] Appears to cause the FDIV on Pentium processors.

Sound

 * [X] There's (still) no sound when opening and closing a chest.
 * [X] There's no longer any sound when placing a door.
 * [?] The sound lags and distorts when you walk or do anything and play songs with your jukebox

Weather

 * [?] Rain splash animation (?) is not visible on all blocks. Seems to be random?
 * [?] It sometimes rains in caves and in houses even through 64 blocks.

Lava

 * The Fall Distance variable does not get reset when a player steps into lava (Only tested with fire resistance potions, may not be the case sans potion) and as a result, when stepping out of lava, the player takes fall damage equal to the distance downwards they traveled. (This is not absolute distance traveled downwards: this is sum total of all downward motion. As such, bobbing up and down on the surface of lava will increment this value.)
