Crashing/System
Bugs !! When I Connect To 12w30a server/lan with 12w30b sometimes crash the client!!
 * Why would you try to connect to one unreleased version of the game with another, newer unreleased version of the game? This is not a bug. You are not using the software in the manner in which it is intended to be used. --5thHorseman 15:37, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Some people don't have access to the server though. Like for exmple, my brother tried connecting to my server (which I hadn't bothered to update yet, he woke up before I did) and got disconnected. How is he supposed to change that if he has no control of the server? The simple answer is to either use an older snapshot (why should he switch to a buggier version?) or just wait who knows how long till the server administrator updates it. --Frostyfrog 16:59, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances amp When connecting to a previous snapshot version's server, I tested the old portal bug in the nether (when it'd throw you to an invalid position in the overworld). Now I am unable to play on this server in any of the recent versions as when I log in I get an 'Invalid Position' message and kicked. I have marked this is a minor annoyance because no-one is probably in the same situation. --CallumTennant
 * Just delete your player.dat file in . --88.194.198.246 13:41, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have no control over the server files, though. --CallumTennant

Gameplay
Bugs undefined Mobs may spawn inside jungle biome leaves. See: [] CallumTennant undefined CMD-V does not work to paste things into Minecraft. Dinnerbone said he was having trouble with this because he didn't have a Mac, and he tried to fix it this snapshot but it still doesn't work. CTRL-V does work on a Mac, but it is unintuitive for Mac users. TorchicBlaziken 21:14, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

a Tree leaves grow through glass (without breaking glass) - see screenshot at http://imgur.com/wq6ha. Hopefully the fix for this doesn't involve breaking the glass (instead the leaves shouldn't grow through glass). --Whoisvaibhav 15:19, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

a cr The bug where you can't fly as fast through water and lava was fixed, but cobwebs still slow you down while flying in Creative mode. TorchicBlaziken 20:07, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Blocks
Bugs undefined Piston sometimes expands and leaves the original wood part too. (Screenshot) -- Mustek 12:21, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Huh. Can't reproduce. Does it always happen or just sometimes? — [[Image:Mojang_AB_logo.png|13px]] Dinnerbone(T) 12:28, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It did happen a lot, it's SMP, forgot to mention that. If you want, I can send you the ip. -- Mustek 13:02, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Standing middle of block that piston pushes sideways, makes you fall through pushed block. --88.194.198.246 13:04, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Normal-sized mushrooms can't be planted outside at night. This is because the skylight level is always 15, even at night, and the reason for this is so crops and flowers don't uproot themselves every night. Perhaps there could be a workaround for this. It is intentional that they're not supposed to be planted outside in the daytime, but they don't even work at night. TorchicBlaziken 20:39, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Double slabs cannot be placed if the last slab placed of the two will touch another block on its top or bottom side. http://i.imgur.com/Tac3b.png and http://i.imgur.com/0zvsc.png are examples where the second slab cannot be placed to create a double slab. ~Cm283 16:04, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances

a! If you place a slab on a grass block (that has tall grass on it) from above (standing next to, looking down at where you are to place the slab), the game erases the grass and sets the block on the top half of the box. Common sense would say that the slab should replace the grass but be placed on the bottom half of the box. I assume this happens because the game uses the grass' bounding box to determine if the slab should be placed in the upper or lower half of the box --5thHorseman 13:26, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

a!mp Cannot interact with chests and doors when holding an item. (Only tested in multiplayer) (Only two blocks tested)
 * 100% sure you and the server are on 30b and not 30a? — [[Image:Mojang_AB_logo.png|13px]] Dinnerbone(T) 12:30, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I was in 12w30a, but I just tested in 30b, and it didn't happen.

a When collecting Mushroom blocks with Silk Touch it will not preserve the damage value. TorchicBlaziken 23:49, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

a When placing Mushroom blocks of a damage value greater than 0, it will revert to 0 upon placing. This used to happen with Monster Eggs, before they were tweaked in 12w17a to prepare them for inclusion in the Creative Mode inventory. This should be changed because the damage values of mushroom blocks are now available using cheats. TorchicBlaziken 23:59, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Items
Bugs undefined Thrown eggs sometimes drop right in front of you when thrown, but chickens spawn where it was supposed to go. -- Mustek 12:22, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Rapidly splitting and placing stacks in 4x4 craft in creative causes a minor duplication. -- TehRainbowGuy 16:01, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances a! Can not create more than one new line and cannot begin a line with spaces when entering text on the Book and Quill item. This was previously a feature when the item was first released. -- 50.53.152.13 16:20, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

World Generator
Bugs undefined Sometimes an empty river spawns in a desert (like https://p.twimg.com/AyfR11eCAAEzc42.png:large)
 * Nearly dried out because too less water flow in the desert ? More a feature than a bug. --80.134.11.177 12:54, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I dont think this is a Bug... I hope its a feature
 * Okay how about this? http://imgur.com/ZgSVZ
 * I like it tooooo

undefined Chunks seem to load very slowly, and while standing still some seem not to load at all until the player starts to move close to them. Pressing Escape to go to the in-game menu causes the chunks to start loading rapidly (really a more "normal" speed). Returning to the game again causes them to slow again. This was tested in single player. --220.233.85.220 13:44, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Just like abandoned mineshafts were before the floors were implemented, strongholds generate weirdly when they cross a ravine. The seed -623160645725253637 is a good example of this with a stronghold in a hole close to spawn which crosses an underground ravine. TorchicBlaziken 22:00, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Mobs/NPCs/Animals
Bugs undefined Mobs/Animals can push each other through wall, then they seemingly appear where they actually aren't. You can boost this effect, by making small quarters, on animals wielding wheat, and on mobs aggravating them. Maybe it's caused by pushing speed value added after animals/mobs speed value has been clamped by walls, when pushing speed value should've been added before clamping. --88.194.198.246 13:01, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

 * do you have a 12w30b screenshot?
 * I just won't upload new screenshots for every version if bug is still there. Just recreate and take screenshot if you want. --88.194.198.246 13:22, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This wiki is for new bugs with the current snapshot, not existing bugs. They are well aware of the lighting glitches...--Arcooke 14:05, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I thought it was for all bugs in the current snapshot? Many many bugs from previous snapshots have been put into each wiki page as a new snapshot comes out. --5thHorseman 15:53, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined After logging in to a 12w30b server, one of my double chests only rendered the right side as a single chest. The left side had the hitbox/collision box and it could be opened normally. Re-logging fixed it. (screenshot) Masa 13:41, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Fishing lines will appear to the left of the fishing rod when in a Field of View higher than '69' or 'Normal'. CallumTennant

Sounds
Bugs undefined Fire extinguish sound does not always play. Sometimes hitting the fire plays the hit sound of the block below the fire/in fire. (has been like this since the change in the multi-/single player stuff I think) Masa 13:58, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I was unable to reproduce. Also, I don't know if this is a bug, but when I extinguish a fire it plays the extinguish sound twice. CallumTennant
 * It seems to mostly happen in SMP. I just re-checked, it worked in SSP but not in SMP when lighting some netherrack on fire and putting it out. It may have something to do with unloading/loading chunks(?), because it works sometimes and then again sometimes it doesn't when I come back and try again. Masa 16:42, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances

a After logging in to a server, the walking sound does not play while the server is under higher load (sending stuff to the client etc?). Other sounds seem to work though. (I used top in a Linux box to watch the CPU load while logging in from another PC. The load was ~60-123% some 10 seconds after logging in, and then it dropped to around 30%, which it was normally while I was logged in. The sound started playing when it dropped to around the 30% level.) Also, the walking sound does lag and hop occasionally after that too, according to server load it seems.

a Using  with negative values are unintuitive for some players. They look F3 menu, see -33.5, they write -33. Don't dare fixing this by subtracting 1 if number is negative, then there will be non-teleportable locations. Just add the decimals, will you, please. --88.194.198.246 13:20, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Where is the annoyance since you can use decimals now ? See the changelog One can now use decimals when /tp'ing to specific coordinates. --80.134.11.177 15:04, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Menus
Bugs

Annoyances a! While Playing, if you press Mouse 4 or 5(Keys often bound for push to talk in voice chat softwares) this will unlock the cursor, stopping you and making the game menu appear. I consider this major since being immobilized temporary in SMP is dangerous, even more in hardcore. --Algent 12:19, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

In-Game Interfaces/HUD
Bugs

undefined In the Creative inventory, the right-most slot in the hotbar in the inventory overlay on the Survival tab is different than on all other tabs. To pinpoint the offending pixel more, compare the top right pixel in those tabs. It shouldn't be as bright as the pixels directly underneath it. Redstonehelper 12:22, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined When traveling between dimensions, the "Downloading Terrain" screen appears instead of the "Entering/Leaving the Nether/End" screen we know and love, since singleplayer is merged with multiplayer. Because of this, the sound effect that plays when using a portal does not play, either. There is no reason for it to say "Downloading Terrain" when it could just use the old screen. TorchicBlaziken 23:54, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined You can't enchant anything between 21-29 levels with 15 bookcases. - Screenshot – xPaw at 13:23, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * You don't have 30 points, just 26 according to your screenshot. --80.134.11.177 14:56, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I think he's trying to get the enchantment table to give him an option that takes 21-29 (ie, 26). It's giving him 20 or less and occasionally 30. Getting 30 proves that he has enough bookcases and should get (many) options in the 20s. --5thHorseman 15:52, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
