Crashing/System
Bugs

!!mp Unknown server-stopper. After about 20h running, the dedicated server started consuming all available CPU from a single core, all the allocated RAM (full red bars on graph too) and displayed an average tickrate of 1100 ms, at least 22x slower than normal (50 ms). All players were disconnected with endOfStream and the server repeatedly dumped overloaded warnings on the console. Further debugging is unavailable, will do on next occurrence. a Stop command took around 5 minutes to complete, with a tickrate of 500ms with no players online. After starting it back, everything works fine. Configuration: AthlonIIx2 x64 Win7 2GB DDR2, 1GB allocated, Java 7 update 4. Dedicated machine, average of 2 players online. It has happened three times so far, identical symptoms with variable tickrate lag. One time, the tickrate kept high enough for players not to drop, but low enough for them to yell 'LAG' at me. Survival server, no operators, unmonitored remote machine. --Steve G. Wood 22:30, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It happened again. Here is a screenshot: [[Media:Screenshot_1.png]]

And profiler results. Notice there are no players online at the time of profiling. undefined

!! What appears to be a memory leak in the chunk loading portion of the code. Without allocating more memory to Minecraft, Java Platform SE Binory will crash in around 10 minutes of straight traveling, particularly in the nether. Allocating 2 GB to Minecraft, memory usage for java is seen jumping to 800 MB at world load and steadily climbing beyond 1.8 GB and Minecraft showing 700 - 900 MB in debug screen. 1.2.5 version caps off around 1 GB for java and 300 - 450 MB in Minecraft debug screen. This was found with java 7 update 5 64-bit, windows 7 64-bit, 6GB memory, GTX 670 graphics card, i5 650 3.2 GHz, minecraft settings set to fast graphics, no smooth lighting, no clouds, no server textures, all other settings at their default, tested on all render distances without any noticeable difference

!In some computers (1.75 GB of RAM, 32-bit, 2.71 GHz, Windows XP SP3, Java 1.6) the world will still not save blocks, but will save player configuration. Example seen here http://imgur.com/a/xixYo#0 (1st and 2nd screenshot taken in a run, the 3rd one is after reloading the world). Here's a debug profile made while placing the blocks, if it helps. --Manuelschi 17:06, 5 July 2012 (UTC) undefined

!mp Players falling through world and getting socket exception when connecting or going through nether gates. Reverted to 26 and I was fine. Moved back to the spawn (my base is some ways away) and updated to 27 and everything is fine. Went back to my base and re-logged and it happens again. We were able to teleport me to the spawn and I was fine. Had someone else come to my base and re-log and he gets the same exception. I have also experienced this when travelling from the nether to a portal at this base.I have completely re-installed minecraft and java. I started a single player creative on the same seed and went to the coordinates and was able to exit and re-enter. seed: ubik rough coordinates: x = 1473, z = -155 --Neema 00:37, 7 July 2012 (UTC) undefined
 * I can confirm this bug. I'm also getting "Internal Server Error" while in the nether, and getting booted. --SullyTheUnusual 15:58, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * While I personally have not experienced these "Socket Exceptions" of which you speak, I have experienced falling through unloaded chunks into the Void after using a portal before the game loads the chunks and puts me back in the portal. TorchicBlaziken 23:59, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances a! Every time I try to update Minecraft through the launcher it stops at about 5-9% percent downloaded (I've checked the minecraft.jar, only metainf folder was there). --66.219.226.219 22:03, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Are you sure you are using a bought account? This page is not for cracked Minecraft.  07:23, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes I have bought minecraft(I'm lukisforgets in minecraft)and it still won't work.--66.219.226.219 18:31, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * delete the "bin" and "server" directories in your ".minecraft" and have another go --Mattrition 10:26, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * no, that didn't work either... --66.219.226.219 16:12, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have this too, and it is the most annoying thing ever. I tried completely disabling antivirus/firewall and still, nothing happens.
 * I have tried every thing I can think of and still nothing works, I re installed java, restarted my computer, and completely emptied .minecraft and it still won't work, can some one please tell me whats going on here. --66.219.226.219 17:12, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * A few steps you can do to ensure likelihood of everything going properly. Make sure Java.exe and Javaw.exe are allowed through your firewall, as well as Minecraft.exe. Go to the web version, make sure you tick Trust, etcetera. If it works on the website, it should work on the exe version once you've gotten those files. If you are still having issues, download LWJGL, and put the appropriate files in your .bin directory. I'm not going to link to it, Google is your friend, yeah? --Debugman18

aOther chat key-bindings are incorrect for Mac OS X. Fn+Arrow Key (Home, End, Page Down/Up) should have no effect on the cursor. Ctrl+Left/Right should instead be Opt/Alt+Left/Right, Cmd+Left/Right should equate to Fn+Left/Right and Cmd+A should select all text instead of Ctrl+A. Jrtc27 13:37, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

a Still cannot quit Minecraft using the standard shortcut Cmd+Q. You can quit it before logging in through the launcher however. Bug has been present in all versions of Minecraft and ought to be fixed. Mac OS X

a When trying to connect to an incompatible minecraft server, such as 1.2.5, I get the very unhelpful error message "Internal exception: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset". It would be nice if there were a more descriptive error message, saying what the server and client versions are, and explaining that they are incompatible. Thue 22:32, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * If a server/client is out of date it will tell you. Not sure what you are talking about.

Fixed/Skipped

f If you try to spawn a entity that is not a mob via spawner editing i.e. cart or boat the game will crash

undefined

--SoaringChris137 21:31, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Spawner egg or mob spawner? Either way, the game is not supposed to give you the chance to do that. It's like trying to use a spawner egg to spawn an item entity, it will crash. Since it cannot be reproduced on vanilla minecraft without 3rd party programs i vote for deletion.--Manuelschi 22:53, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It was a spawner block, like you find in dungeons, and because in the previous snapshot the special spawner permissions were added but only accessible through 3rd party editing I don't think this can be overlooked. --SoaringChris137 23:26, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This has been fixed, but I really wouldn't call this a critical bug. It's custom behaviour that we've never supported before or had intentions of directly supporting. Dinnerbone 08:16, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

fmp Every user that logs into my SMP server gets kicked off immediately, with the following message in the console (no crash report recorded on server nor client): --Inertia undefined
 * This may be caused by 'view-distance' in the server.properties file being set above the default value of 10. --Recondite 20:32, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Good call. Indeed, it was the view-distance.  I had it set to 15, but taking it back to the default (10) seems to have fixed it.  But in the previous build, having it set to 15 seemed fine. --Inertia
 * I have view-distance set to 10 but some players joining my server are still getting kicked out with the reason being disconnect.overflow. I had never seen this error before 12w26a. For me, it is happening in 12w26a and 12w27a while never happening once in 1.2.5. I have not used any snapshots between 1.2.5 and 12w26a so I cannot comment about those. You are mad 16:04, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I think this problem appears, when a player is on a high position and leaves the server. The player can not join until the player dat file is deleted. --TrustableDigger 19:24, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

f 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. However, Minecraft recognizes the CMD keys as LWIN and RWIN in the controls menu, so enabling the LWIN-V and RWIN-V combinations to paste might do it. CTRL-V does work on a Mac, but it is unintuitive for Mac users. TorchicBlaziken 21:14, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Potentially fixed, need a mac-y person to test it in the office. — [[Image:Mojang_AB_logo.png|13px]] Dinnerbone(T) 08:28, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

f My SMP server uses 60% CPU when no users are logged in. The 1.2.5 server used 40%. AFAIK, there is no good reason why it should use any amount of CPU when nobody is logged in. My server uses much more electricity than neccesary because of this. Thue 15:50, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm running two servers on mac at the same time, getting a 2% CPU usage when noone logged in, it gets up to 50% when I log in from my computer (so, 2 Minecraft Servers + Minecraft Client). I usually got al least 75% usage on previous versions (same 2% when no one logged in). iMac 21.5 late 2010, 8 GB RAM (1 GB assigned to every server, and 2GB assigned to Minecraft client). --Asmcsl 17:03, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have a relatively old Athlon64 X2 3800+, but still shouldn't be using 40% or 60%. Perhaps you have killed your enderdragon and destroyed your end healers, which seems to be what is using lots of CPU in 1.2.5 (From profiling the partially decompiled 1.2.5 source code from bukkit. A 24x24 are is always loaded in each of the three worlds). Thue 00:29, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Now, after running a good deal of time, it actually seems to have settled down to run at ~6% CPU, which is obviously much better than in 1.2.5. Don't know why. It woul still be nice if it didn't use any CPU when nobody was connected, of course, like fx my apache and sshd servers. Thue 00:34, 8 July 2012 (UTC
 * Running 12w27a on an Arch Linux i3 with 4 gigs of RAM I haven't had any issues with CPU load. Minecraft is using about 3.9% CPU when noone's logged in which is high for a program that's doing nothing, but isn't high for Minecraft. ArcherSeven 05:33, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I decided that it's silly to tick entities when nobody is around to hear them fall. CPU usage should greatly improve now. — [[Image:Mojang_AB_logo.png|13px]] Dinnerbone(T) 09:48, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Gameplay
Bugs ! Hardcore levels get deleted if you try to skip the end credits. I opened up a hardcore world that I beat in 1.2.5 and went back to the end. When I left, I was presented with the credits again, and hit esc to skip them. The game said that I was disconnected because I died and deleted my world. Ryan392 02:26, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

! When creating a map in creative mode via a workbench and shift clicking to your inventory it will always be Map_0, click and dragging works normally though.

! NPC Villages will lag my computer down to <1 FPS. I don't know what's causing the problem but this has never happened before and I have to delete my [Player].dat file to respawn and the lag stops. I cannot produce a debug profiling due to major lag. Will list specs if needed. Zmr333 01:58, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Not a crash bug. Downgrading and moving. --Mattrition 15:25, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Unable to reproduce. I tried my personal SSP world with a medium village, and also a Superflat world on Creative with multiple very large villages. I did not lag at all. --Fperson1 05:12, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

!mp Player 1 can push Player 2 around on their screen but Player 2 doesn't move on their screen. Therefore Player 1 can push Player 2 in lava and Player 2 will take unnecessary damage.-- QuAd205 03:00, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I've had this happening too. Seems to glitch with any entity pushing the player. I was shot by a few skeleton arrows and walked around to hit them but saw them firing at a wall while I got hurt. Done using the minecraftserver.exe Lukesoccer21 05:42, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Happens for me too, though I've noticed it seems a bit inconsistent. I've been able to push a friend and when they move, they notice they're suddenly elsewhere as described above, other times I've pushed them, then when they moved they've gone back to where they originally were as if they hadn't been pushed at all. -TheWyo 20:01, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Similar to the bug described above, this issue is very apparent when player 1 is not moving in a boat and player 2 pushes player 1. Player 1's location looks unchanged on his screen but is in actual location on player 2's screen. Player 1's movements are affected by blocks and positioning based on player 2's screen. Location syncing issue is resolved when boat is left.
 * This happens with many other kinds of movement that is not caused by the moved player, for example pistons. Redstonehelper 11:55, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

! When water current pushes you into a corner, you start taking damage. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/uzMEc.png (Note: this screenshot was taken in Peaceful mode.) --Techokami 19:32, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * seems related to the "Player 1 can push Player 2" Bug stated above. Something's wrong with the client and server not matching up. Was this done on a server or "singleplayer"? --Lukesoccer21 17:17, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It was done in "singleplayer". As long as there are blocks at the head level forming a corner, and a diagonal current pushing the player into said corner, the player takes damage. The game probably thinks the player is inside the blocks and is suffocating. --Techokami 22:16, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This occurs from all sources pushing you, IE if a mob pushes you into a corner.BlackDragonIV 16:24, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I can confirm this. Players die very often on my snapshot server from suffocating in walls, and blame each other out of doubt. --Steve G. Wood 12:38, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Happens a lot when villagers are crowded in a room (they do seem to love sharing rooms) and you are pushed into a corner. --5thHorseman 00:24, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This happens to me all the time in "single" player. It is extraordinarily annoying, to say the least. --Basilo1146 21:52, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

! Occasionally your character can seem to "teleport" when fighting a water current. For example, if one is underground mining obsidian whilst fighting a water current, you will appear to be breaking the obsidian (complete with cracking animation and mining sound) and suddenly appear upwards of 7 blocks away, at the end of the water current. Used major bug tag because it is fully possible to be pushed into lava in situations such as the above example, or if working on a mob grinder, or into a corner triggering the above bug. This happens in SSP, not sure about multiplayer. --Fperson1 01:01, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

! Sometimes, you get random suffocation damage, most times when sprinting. 189.34.246.216 14:53, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have seen this when hitting a wall with a sprint-jump... and sprint-jumps in general. --Steve G. Wood 18:32, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

undefinedcr (seen on MP) After flying for some time in Creative mode with some drops, switching to Survival 7 blocks above the ground caused an instant death from fall damage. It seems the fall damage from all the flying was accumulated. --Steve G. Wood 02:10, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Flowing water doesnt push primed tnt like it used to in 1.0.0, making tnt cannons and player launchers not work properly Gravemind2401 01:55, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Since the newest snapshots, fall damage was reduced by one block, such that falling from 4 blocks won't hurt you. Problem is, very rarely you do take damage from 4 blocks. --Steve G. Wood 18:49, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Logging out and logging back in while falling off a cliff will only make you take the fall damage from the height you logged back in from. It is extremely annoying with fall traps on PvP servers.

undefinedcr Crafting something in Creative Mode (I know, why should I...) in the 2x2 crafting field generates the crafted item and drops the old items like they were not used after closing the menu. I made four sticks with two pieces of wooden blanks in this Screenshot. Doesn't occur in Survival Mode. --Freakedenough 18:49, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined With some bed placements, you fall out of the bed instead of sleeping in the bed. See File:Falloutofbed.png to reproduce this. Seems like some part of the game code still thinks the player is standing, so it's trying to prevent him from suffocating by pushing him away in some direction. -- JonHa97 18:44, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Eggs thrown by dispensers will sometimes spawn chickens in a block. The chicken will suffocate and die. Other eggs function normally. ~Cm283 20:21, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have seen this since 1.2.5 with eggs thrown against a wall (not using a dispenser). ArcherSeven 05:55, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Chests do not update properly. Placing items in them, or taking items out of them may fail. Ex. you shift-click a stack of dirt into a chest, it appears in the chest. If you leave the chest and click the inventory slot the dirt was in, it re-appears in your inventory - it seems, it has never been placed in the chest. Also, the chest closing or opening sound and/or animation may not play. --77.189.31.93 23:23, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined I was playing Survival Mode on Normal difficulty, a skeleton shot me and the arrow just bounced off me without dealing damage. --Conscripta
 * Occured for me too. But not sure, maybe it bounced from some block near, but it bounced, changing its direction. --Kolen 10:56, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Occured for me too. --velvetpro 06:34, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Surrounding a bed with slabs still works when sleeping; you wake up on top of the bed, as expected. However, when dying, the game thinks the "home bed was missing or obstructed". --Steve G. Wood 18:32, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined sp When in Survival in singleplayer, if you open the world to LAN with Creative on for the people that join, you can log into the game again in a different client with the game that you opened to LAN unclosed, go into the LAN server, have it kick you because you were logged in twice, and then when you open the world again, even though it still says survival, you are in creative when you enter the world. I found this the other day in the last snapshot, and today I found out that it worked in 12w27a. I'm sure that some other people would not mind this bug, but it does not make me too happy. I have not yet tested if you can also go back from creative to survival. --Agent A 21:29, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

! mp When Player1, who is in the Nether, tries to teleport to Player2, who is in the overworld, Player1 stays in the Nether but gets teleported to Player2's coordinates, thus possibly causing suffocation, or death from lava/fire. It is not possible to stay alive when you suffocate this way; unless you know a safe position where you can teleport, or a random guess saves you. –nyuszika7h

undefinedOpen to LAN thinks it knows the local LAN address. In particular, it wants to use 192.168.x.y (Local wire) in preference to 5.23.x.y (Hamachi). This prevents the use of Hamachi LAN's. --Keybounce 23:52, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Redstone timing errors in 27a and 125 multiplayer that works just fine in 125 single player.

Redstone loops still get into invalid states. Loop setup: This is basically an RS-Nor latch modified (with repeaters) to permit a clock signal. Repeater (4) Input signal (set) (redstone wire branch to button) Repeater (4) Inverter (torch) Input signal (reset) (redstone wire branch to switch) Repeater (4) Inverter (torch)

Loop timing: 14 redstone-ticks If the switch is "on/down", then the button cannot put a clock signal into the loop. If the switch is "off/up", then the button can put a 9 redstone-tick pulse into the circuit, and it will then act as a clock.

In 125 single player, it works perfectly. In 125 multiplayer AND 12w27a it will lose its timing. Approximately 15 tests; 14 go to lockup (the button side of the rs-nor being on all the time), and one to inaccurate stable timing (on pulse is less than 9 redstone ticks; off pulse is longer than 5.)

Annoyances

a! mp I've noticed that in this version the whole game world "freezes" on the server when the player is far (about double distance of view in Far mode or a little more) from the objects like furnaces, saplings, melons, growing wheats.. When the player is not near, the furnaces do not cook, trees, melons and wheat does not grow. Even minecarts with furnaces do not push other carts when the player is not near (If the player travels with minecart with powered rails and leaves behind the cargo train with furnace, the furnace cart stops moving, because waiting for it at the station takes forever. It looks like you have to watch everything to make it happen, because when you get closer to the cart with furnace, it moves again. For example if I leave a lot of furnaces to cook in one village and go for about 1km (1000 block distance) when I come back later (even after 30mins) I find that only few items are cooked in the furnaces. This kind of "freeze" is when only none of the players are in that location around (leaving village empty makes everything stop there). a! sp (Might happen in MP as well) I commonly have the problem of the keyboard becoming non-responsive while playing. A quick, double alt-tab fixes the problem, but i dont know why. It can happen at any time, when a game is just loading, or after the game has been running for a while; both are equally common.
 * This is by design. No computer has enough processing power to simulate an entire world, therefore all sorts of things that 'ought' to keep working unattended will freeze if there are no humans nearby to observe. Plant growth, smelting, and the movement of distant mobs and entities are just the three most obvious areas affected. (Note that the definition of 'nearby' does vary a bit from one part of the game to another.) --82.69.54.207 00:50, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

a! mp (possibly single player also) When being pushed against a wall by a water current or trying to push through the force
 * I lost health. I have marked this as major as I have already died twice from being stuck in a hole and unable to get out because of the water current causing the health to drop (StormKitten_1) --2.26.50.37 08:39, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

a! When extending 4 pistons around a lava source block in the middle, all the pistons extend, but one or more also appear to be retracted at the same time. When this happens, the affected piston(s) are frozen in the extended position. Smashing the extended portion seems to reset them. --SullyTheUnusual 14:50, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

a! mp Every time I Log in or respawn, I will appear to be falling though the world in darkness, Less frequently I will appear with a block (normally stone) right up in my face. This happens for 5 to 20 seconds before I regain full control and can see and interact with the world. While falling I can look around with my mouse freely. I can also type but nothing happens when I send message. Suddenly I will appear in the game in the correct spawn location. All my chat messages will rapidly send in quick section. I have only tested this on one server. It is only played on by me and my friend. He doesn't encounter this bug at all, yet I do every time. He hosts the server at his house which is only a small media server not intended for this kinda use really perhaps, Although when the server was running 1.2.5 and previous versions I encountered no problems like this. The problem doesn't occur for me in single player. --Noac 17:03, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

a When you die, and respawn (no beds involved), you are teleported to the highest point of the spawn region. This makes it hard for custom map makers to create indoor maps without players getting out of the map when they die. I don't know how long this has been happening, but I noticed it in 12w26a. --76.188.50.201 16:51, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This always happened in SMP, so I would be guessing it started with the merge. I'll see if I can reproduce. 58.165.67.240 04:42, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

a Portals built above Y=128 in the normal realm do not link up with portals in the nether properly. (Bug that has been around since anvil was implemented in 1.2) Water99 19:49, 6 July 2012 (UTC)


 * One solution that I can think of (without expanding the Nether to use the newly available space) would be to add 2x vertical scaling to the Nether similar to the 8x horizontal scaling already implemented in the game. TorchicBlaziken 23:59, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

a Birch and Spruce trees will not grow directly beside one another with or without bone meal; however, Oak and Jungle trees will grow. Dotsarecool 08:25, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thin Jungle trees do not grow next to wide jungle trees. Birch and Spruce trees won't grow next to any other type of tree.

a Powered Minecarts only face two directions, so when they turn, the face of the furnace incorrectly turns. This doesn't affect the efficiency of the furnace, just a small overlooked detail I've noticed. --Keithicus420 19:09, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

a LAN visitors join where you are. Not at spawn. Or even where you wanted them to. If the LAN visitor disconnects, and you return to spawn, or wherever you wanted them, on reconnect they are not moved to you, but are left where they logged out.

Work-around: Delete the player file.

(To clarify: A LAN visitor's spawn point is near where you are when they join. There is no way to specify "Join here". If you go wandering off, they may be no where near your main build. This only affects their first time on your world, and then their location is "remembered".)

a Open to LAN wants to keep the host up, tying up the graphics card. Even if the window is hidden, in pause/escape mode, or otherwise not doing anything (waiting for friends to arrive), the GPU is busy and less available for other programs. I cannot open to LAN and go headless. If I'm away from the computer, my LAN friends cannot sleep.

"Workaround": Full conversion to multiplayer. Annoying. --Keybounce 23:55, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

a (Not consistent) Testing tree growth in the Nether gave inconsistent results. Oak trees grow nicely in a 5x5 space; small jungle trees also.

f Any blocks above Y=191 when logging into a single player world become invisible. Logging out on a structure above this level on SSP made me unable to move, place blocks, or break blocks because I was glitched into invisible blocks. --68.33.111.198 16:08, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Occurs for me as well. Can produce screenshots if need be. Also, the blocks seem to reappear upon a block update; the structure that disappeared for me was a farm so when farmed soil became wet farmed soil, it showed up. When melons grew, they showed up. Placing a block on the newly appeared blocks causes it to turn into whatever block is actually there (making the old block visible). Exiting the game and returning makes all blocks invisible again. -Bleaker 01:14, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

s In a fairly recently made world, I tp'd a short distance from the Far Lands. First, I noticed torch particles are pretty far from the torch. Secondly, it is possible to place a torch on the invisible wall that marks the edge of the map. This can be reproduced by placing a torch on the last block in bounds, then right clicking to place a torch on that torch. This will put a torch on the invisible wall of the far lands. --Keithicus420 06:03, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The torch particle thing is a known mechanism of proximity to the Far Lands, as I recall. As for placing torches on the invisible wall, I think it relates to placing torches on glass or similar, though I don't really know about that. --Fperson1 05:23, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * This is how it has always been? You hold the fuel in your hand and right-click to add one of said fuel item into the powered minecart. This will cause it to run until the fuel is depleted. You can't drop in an entire stack at once. --Techokami 01:42, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * oops, your are right about dropping a whole stack in, but if you hand is empty and you right click the cart will move 1 block forward on its on, no coal was placed in the furance --Kain837
 * I can confirm this (I remeber observing this event back in 1.2.5 as well). It does happen in survival mode (and I am sure is a bug in said mode) but were you in creative when it happened? It is intentional in creative, but it is supposed to act like you put a piece of coal in the furnace (and move much further than one block), whereas in survival this isn't supposed to happen at all.--Marioman66 01:38, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I think this is intentional. Even if you need 30 levels to enchant it, you still won't get the best enchantment. I think the more books you have, you get a greater chance of getting more high level enchantments, regardless of you using 30 levels. --Autofire 18:39, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Can somebody confirm this mechanism? --velvetpro 19:45, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This is an intended feature. It was explicitly stated that the maximum enchantment level is now 30, and it only takes ~15 bookshelves to get to. Also, the amount of bookshelves you have does not affect the actual enchantments directly, only changing the maximum possible level. More than 15-16 bookshelves does not increase the chance of getting more or better enchantments. --Fperson1 05:23, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

n Not sure if this is supposed to happen, but I managed to get a tripwire to trigger with the only thing intersecting the wire being a dropped redstone torch. This occurred when I destroyed the block the redstone torch was on in creative mode, causing it to drop onto the wire and activate it. The circuit was not previously being affected by the presence of the redstone before block deletion so I am certain it is related to the dropped redstone torch intersecting the wire. This might be intended but I'm fairly sure it's not intended. Pharap 16:54, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It's intended. From the wiki: "To activate a Tripwire when it is connected, an entity (mobs, minecarts, boats, arrows, items, etc.) must move on, through or over it." dropped items (like your torch) are entities. --5thHorseman 23:01, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

s When crouching next to a block that has vines, the player will "glide" as if on ice.

fspI destroyed many ice-blocks in a frozen lake with an enchanted axe (fortune III, efficence IV, unbreaking III) until the axe broke. The last ice-block disappeared and there was a hole. Around it there was water. I couldn't swim through it. I placed blocks from the bottom of the lake to the top and the ice-block I destroyed came back.
 * Something possibly related; I was digging down through dirt and heard a splash sound. about 5 blocks from surface, the dirt block I dug out turned into water instead of dropping, as did the ones beside it. --Fperson1 05:14, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Blocks
Bugs

! Pistons, set on a rapid delay, glitch out - Sometimes it is possible to create phantom blocks with the same properties as a normal block, but the phantom block doesn't drop anything when broken. When walking to a piston set on a rapid delay (see video), you will go up & down, shifting will make you go up even higher. Sometimes there is no sound when breaking a block in that contraption. See this video, it explains those bugs better. NiceMark 18:52, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

! Look straight down, jump and try to place a block. Sometimes it works, sometimes the block appears and then disappears. The previous snapshot did not have this issue. --Croftyraider 17:05, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I've seen this a lot with peaceful mobs (It would probably happen with hostiles too but they're - you know - hostile) nearby. It's like the client thinks it's OK to place the block (and it looks so to me as well) but the server is a tiny bit ahead of me so it sees that the mob has walked within the bounding box. I imagine it's similar when you're jumping. By the time the server sees that you want to place the block, you're already coming down. --5thHorseman 20:50, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have the same. When you manually click each block in good time, it is better. But this is a bug ofcourse. --velvetpro 21:40, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I noticed this within 2 minutes of trying the latest patch. That and the fact that signs' text from previous versions has become invisible. 78.105.8.153 14:42, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

 * (Merged duplicate) Since the merge, "pillaring" is almost impossible due to the server and client being off a little. Every time you jump and place a block under you, the game thinks you were occupying that space and places and quickly deletes that block. Basically, holding right click ad the jump button to pillar doesn't work anymore- you have to time it perfectly for it to work. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.61.184.212 (Talk) .

 * Newly-created oak slabs should behave the same as the other new slab types as they have a new block ID. 'Old' slabs (from before the introduction of the new slab types) should behave as they always used to. I believe the reason for this is that 'old' slabs' are also nonflammable, and changing them to flammable (another change that also came in when their tool type was changed) would have broken a lot of existing designs - for example, many people used the old fireproof wooden slabs around their fireplaces. --82.69.54.207 00:59, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

undefinedmp Not sure if anyone has noticed, but when you place Redstone Dust on sand, then pressing the left mouse button and right very shortly after (Holding down once pressed), as expected, the redstone will appear then disappear, but it seems to change the metadata of the sand block to the following (There may be more): TNT, Bricks, Grass, Stone, Iron Block, and some others incomprehensible to see. The metadata changes around every tick, and it turns back to sand every other tick and continues until you stop doing the above.

 * Falling sand and gravel are entities and cob webs slow down every entity so thats more of an annoyance --Bljat 14:29, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That's the technical reason behind this bug but neither it's realistic in any way nor it makes sense for simple users who don't understand entities and it's probably not intended, too. Falling block entities should probably be unaffected by webs or they should destroy webs or maybe even become "solid" on top of them. -- JonHa97 07:27, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The reason this exists the way it is not to do with technical reasons, but because falling sand/gravel entities convert themselves to items when they fall on certain objects like torches, pressure plates, and of course spider webs, to name a few. Fixing this bug would cause Mojang some major headaches having to code different reactions for different blocks just because of an unrealistic behaviour, and would break anti-suffocation measures most players use when they want to dig upwards to collect blocks like sand or gravel.  I also think that this is both an annoyance and intended behaviour as cobwebs and gravel have interacted in this way ever since they were introduced in mineshafts.  I vote to downgrade this to annoyance or have it removed. BrickVoid 10:40, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Just because it was like this since the beginning doesn't mean it's intended. Might be just an oversight. And until a Mojang guy states that this is intended, I don't believe it, because it really looks stupid. On the other hand, falling sand on cobwebs is IMHO a rather unusual thing, so it's not really annoying. Might just leave this bug here until someone from Mojang fixes this or states that the current behavior is intended/not worth fixing. -- JonHa97 21:04, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I believe that a Mojang developer already stated in a previous snapshot version that this behaviour is intended and not actually a bug. However, it has been so long since that statement was made that I cannot find the relevant snapshot listing where this statement was made so a citation from someone would be needed stating on what page this wiki has them saying this.

With this glitch, I always hear a second placement sound almost simultaneous with the first. I think this is a side effect of continuous placement mode (backpedaling or strafing to place many blocks with a single click), which I don't want to lose. My suggestion is to set block placement to "semi-automatic" (one click, one block) while holding shift. I also recommend this be done with breaking blocks in Creative, but should not be necessary in Survival. (Note: I do not believe the observed mid-air, behind-the-player dirt placement in this video (at 14:30) is related.) -- Featherwinglove 15:45, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Slow computers exhibit a noticeable lag spike when placing or removing blocks. During this lag spike, input is not refreshed but the counter for continuous placement still goes on causing blocks to be placed. Most probably a bug, since the timing should wait at least one frame before confirming more block placements as this can cause a chain reaction. --Steve G. Wood 18:44, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

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 19:58, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

a If you place a block to make a wall and stand as close as possible to that wall, and then place a block, the game renders the block for a moment, then disappears.
 * I don't think this is a bug; you're placing a block in a space you're partially occupying, so the game tries to place it, but then removes it. This is nothing new and is certainly not a major bug.

 * This is related to the pillaring bug and can be fixed by letting the client decide if a new block is intersecting its own player. The server should only check for other entities, not the same player that placed the block as it can check that locally, and it already does. --Steve G. Wood 12:28, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

a Mushroom blocks can't be harvested or placed properly, reverting to damage/data value 0, a block which appears to use the mushroom pore texture on all six sides. This makes it impossible to use the red, brown, and white mushroom block textures in creations without using pistons to push blocks around. It is also inconsistent with the expected behavior of silk touch: if silk touch is capable of harvesting a block, it should not transform it upon harvesting. Transforming a block upon its placement (which happens when placing mushroom blocks of any damage value, obtained through cheats available in vanilla) is also completely illogical and a roadblock to making things from the mushroom blocks. Perhaps mushroom blocks could be made properly harvestable as "Red/Brown Mushroom Top", "Red/Brown Mushroom Edge", "Red/Brown Mushroom Corner", and "Red/Brown Mushroom Stem", where the edge and corner blocks would be placed in a directional manner similar to pumpkins (upside-down mushroom blocks would not be available, as this would require splitting the current two mushroom block data values into multiple). --WolfieMario 13:44, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

f Many times while underground (This is only where I have noticed it), many blocks may be represented by a stone block, and will revert to their true image and properties if hit, or something is placed upon them. For example, while walking across a stone floor, it is possible to hear the noises of walking across gravel, and if you strike the blocks at your feet, they will turn into gravel. Or placing a torch on a stone wall will suddenly turn the block it was placed upon into dirt or gravel. This causes problems as it can also occur with blocks such as ores. Meaning that one can mine a vein of coal ore, only to miss some that simply look like stone until struck. This raises concerns of the possibility of passing up diamond ores for the same reason (While I have not seen this occur, I have no reason to believe it could not). If say a dirt block were represented by a stone block (I have also never seen any block other than stone behave this way. I have never seen a dirt block turn to stone nor any block turn to any other, other than stone turning to other blocks), and one were to destroy this block, it would respond to tools the same way a stone block would (be broken quickly by a pick), but when destroyed, is instantly and briefly replaced by a dirt block, then the dirt block disappears leaving a dirt block entity. In addition, although the stone block shares most of its properties with normal stone blocks, walking on it will produce the sound of walking on the block it represents, the dirt sound in this case. If one were to begin destroying this stone block and then stop, however, the stone block is then replaced by a dirt block and then has all the properties of a dirt block. A detonating creeper will also reveal the true identities of the stone blocks around it. However, if say a gravel block were represented by a stone block, and a creeper detonates standing near it, it will use stone's value of blast resistance during the explosion, then turn to gravel afterwards, creating the appearance of gravel or dirt being unnaturally close to an explosion.
 * This has happened to me several times also, and certainly not just underground. Started a new game, was seeking coal and dug out a small hole in a wall only to find cobblestone. Left to get coal elsewhere, returned to this "man made" hole I dug to find several coal blocks where actually there. Also dug out some cobblestone to be presented with dirt dropped. Quitting and reloading reveals the real blocks too, one area was showing cobblestone and I knew it was dirt, quit, reloaded and voila, it was dirt. Scary problem this, cos I could miss Diamonds! --Keogh 11:59, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined When using an enchanted diamond pick when it gets to the end of its durability it breaks, but is still there as an invisible block in your inventory, when you attempt to use the invisible block you can still mine with it and the item icon comes back for approximately 2-3 hits before breaking for good. I think it may have something to do with the unbreaking enchantment.
 * You mean invisible item? If you don't hear the break sound it didn't actually break - if you right click it should come back. This bug is from the client trying to damage tools itself instead of letting the server tell it what is and isn't damaged. LB ( T 21:54, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Additional info; if you pour water over these entities, they will wash away, but still can't be picked up even from the new position.

Annoyances

Fixed/Skipped f To describe many of the bug reports related to world generation, when unpopulated chunks are populated, the new changes to the chunks aren't always correctly sent to the client. This means that if you walk a ways or mine long tunnels underground and go into newly generated chunks, ores veins and other features will be invisible until certain circumstances make them visible to the client. It shouldn't be a difficult fix to have the chunk population process inform the client of the changes. I believe this is a major bug because so many people are reporting problems related to it.

 * (Duplicate) Every once in a while there will be blocks that appear as one kind, but change texture to their normal block when right-clicked.

 * I got no villagers spawning too. An entire village slowly dwindled away to nothing, and they had ample time to breed (approx 2 hours realtime as I pottered about the village, I'd guess). I even slept most nights so they didn't get too badly zombied. Actually a bit annoying. --82.69.54.207 15:48, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Are you sure there's no pits nearby? I've found that naturally occurring villages tend to lose villagers to the terrain unless you take measures to pen them in. This could be considered the bug, really :) I've never lost a villager that I've secured in a hole, or locked in an inescapable room. Unless a zombie horde started, of course. --5thHorseman 22:12, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't think there were any holes nearby for them to blunder into, and I went over the area quite thoroughly. I fenced around the two bigger holes I did find and lit them up, and if any villagers had fallen down there I'd have met them while mining. Finally, I blocked the last two villagers in a building for several days and they still didn't take the hint. Also, this isn't so much about losing villagers, it's about the ones that remained not breeding even while there were still 5-6 of them left in a village with 12 buildings (and building with doors to boot!). I even removed and re-added most of the doors to see if that would help.--82.69.54.207 22:57, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * You need approximately 3 doors per villager (It's actually 0.35 villagers per door) so if you had 12 buildings, they would only mate to produce up to 4 villagers. Build a structure like the image above, or knock holes in all the non-doored walls and add doors, and you should hopefully start to see love in the air. --5thHorseman 23:39, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've just been counting doors and the distances between them. But assuming the wiki info in NPC Village is accurate, the current setup looks likely to doom many villages to slow extinction unless the player intervenes. [Mojang devs: Is this intentional, and is the wiki correct?] Apparently villagers only count doors within 16 blocks' radius, which means a random villager must count at least six doors in range before they are willing to breed. That often doesn't happen on village outskirts where even 3-4 may be a high value, and 0.35&times;4 no breeding. I had a near-empty village, but it seems the corner the surviving villagers were in counted as 'fully populated' so they wouldn't breed. That suggests a weakness in the breeding algorithm to me. Might it be better to have an 'overcrowding threshhold' at which they stop breeding? 2.4 villagers per door, say, would give a much more medieval feel.--82.69.54.207 23:58, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

 * It is stated in the wiki article for wolves that the requirements for breeding are that they be tamed and at full health. Also, on feeding them, I don't think that this is an oversight, either, as it allows for role playing potential for animal lovers who would want to heal damaged wild wolves.  Vote to remove this as neither being able to feed them nor them not breeding if fed are oversights, and therefore definitely not bugs. BrickVoid 11:01, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

When they are on the upside-down slab, they're above the slab and therefore fully exposed to the sunlight.

a! Interface redrawing is slowed signifcantly by in-game lag. What happens is that whenever I am in a jungle and experiencing lag, I hit Esc to enter into the UI to swap the graphics from Fancy to Fast, but doing this very thing means that the UI is lagged very badly until the Fast graphics are actually enabled in the UI. If Mojang could at least separate the draw/redraw of the UI from the draw/redraw of the world rendering I would be able to at least swap to a different rendering mode much more easily. Additionally, if Mojang could come up with an interim fix for jungle biomes that limits the amount of lag they are allowed to force into the rendering of the jungle biome until Mojang get to fixing it in 1.4 that would be very helpful to people lagging in jungle biomes.

 * This has been in the game since the initial introduction of Jukeboxes - they do not save the fact that they are playing or how far they are playing when the chunk is saved. In other words, they stop when you leave. I don't think it is a bug. LB 00:02, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Rain sound not playing in extreme hills biomes.


 * This is because for some reason, rain particles do not work there, and rain sounds only play when there are rain particles. The actual rain still occurs. TorchicBlaziken 23:59, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

! mp Sometimes when using the /tp command to tp to a specific coord, sometimes you can glitch and fall to the void. The client doesn't show so until you relog however other players can. My theory is that it happens due to a lag spike during the teleportation, so it depends on lag. Makes the command completely dangerous and unusable.

! when i try to use a command like "/gamemode 2" nothing happens

 * You can type commands without cheats enabled. That said, I could not reproduce. On Superflat world, spawned with Creative mode, was able to switch to both Adventure and Survival and back again. /toggledownfall, /time, /tp and /debug all worked fine. --Fperson1 01:09, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined /say command is not shown in pink/purple, and isn't logged when the admin uses it. Also, it shows the username in square brackets, not console, when used by a player. As with /tell, this has been an issue for several snapshots now (about 10?). --Scott (IP 101.103.131.171) 12:01, 6 July 2012 UTC

undefined Teleporting using /tp command and direct coordinates does not work properly, one is taken to correct area, but y coordinate does not seem to apply, and one seems to fall thorough world, and into void sometimes taken to correct elevation after taken some damage and sometimes death occurs sometimes one is not taken to direct area but general area around selected coordinates. Outcomes vary widely, but usually it does not end well, recreated on windows vista and 7 on 2 computers. Problem can be recreated at any time by typing /tp  you can find the coordinates you are at by hitting F3

mp Cross-dimension teleports now work but cause confusion: `/tp foo bar` will take foo to bar's coordinates, even if one player is in the Overworld and the other player is in the Nether. The confusion results from TP not changing the first user's current dimension. Seen in 12w27a. Benanov 15:35, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined When clicking on links, the warning is still a very light red instead of the darker red that it should be. caramba2654 03:07, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined mp The server no longer displays a message to the effect of "user tried server command: *" when a non-op user enters a command that is invalid or ops-only. This breaks server wrappers that depend on this as a mechanism for allowing non-op players to issue custom commands, and there is currently no workaround. First reported in 12w26a. --Warr1024 13:21, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) The server console / log no longer generates messages to the effect of "$Player tried server command: $foo" (or any equivalent) when a non-op player in the game tries to issue a command to which they do not have access, or which does not exist. Benanov 15:25, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined You can no longer use a negative adjustment for "/time add" to rewind the daylight. You can no longer use a negative time set -- "/time set -1000" to give people one game hour to run and find a place to call "home" before the battle begins at 6:00 am gametime.

Work-around: Learn other timestamps. Annoying. Use a pair of /time sets, one for 23000, and then another for 0 to start the game.

Classified as a minor bug because: Used to be possible; cannot see a reason for removing; is useful. --Keybounce 23:47, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances a Minecraft still says "Saved screenshot as .png", even if German language is activated. In German it should be "Screenshot wurde gespeichert als .png.". I think other languages aren't translated too.

 * Occurs with any language, not only German.
 * This is because that string is hardcoded in the game, and it not editable in the languge files. I think that is because they have to append the filename, and that has to be done through the code. --96.38.81.51 22:58, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined If you click on the Mojang logo at the start of the game i.e. to regain focus, once the menu shows up it will register a mouse click wherever you clicked. This often opens the world/server selection menus. --Steve G. Wood 13:10, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined cr When you holding the E button(open inventory button) the inventory will show up and quick close down.--Swekob 17.41, 7 July, 2012(Swedish time)
 * Is this not intentional? Pressing E with the menu up should (and does) close it, so this behavior seems reasonable when you hold it down. --5thHorseman 18:44, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Check with the top of this page of how to report add bug tags to your report. Use undefined for minor bugs, and cr for Creative. Corrected. Also, I agree this is likely intentional or, at least an overlooked, feature. --Keithicus420 19:30, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

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 16:51, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

a! On the multiplayer server list, servers running a different, incompatible, version of Minecraft display no indication of incompatibility. This can happen, for instance, if a server that was running 1.2.5 decides to update to 12w27a, and the client is still running 1.2.5, or if the client is running 12w27a and a the server is running an older snapshot. The incompatible servers should probably be grayed out, or otherwise marked. --Warr1024 17:41, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined When you take a screenshot and open chat in multiplayer, then click the screenshot name, Minecraft treats it as a link. Pressing Yes in the dialog that follows, will cause your web browser to open the link, without any http://, https://, file:/// or any other prefixes.

undefined In the Creative inventory, unless on the survival inventory tab, the last hotbar slot is one pixel too short, as demonstrated here. Redstonehelper 19:48, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This amuses me because it probably happened a long time ago when I noticed he forgot to add the line at the end of that slot so it didn't have a white line. He said he fixed it, but I guess he must have added it a pixel short. :P --Pizza2004 21:49, 10 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.

Annoyances a! When editing a book, it's impossible to move cursor to beginning of line, page or other place in a page. So when you want to edit some text inside page you have to re-write the entire page. Book writing should have the moveable cursor, text selection and cut/paste similar to chat. Same applies to writing signs. Gravemind2401 09:36, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

aCreative mode inventory: "Redstone" has trap doors and fence gates, as well as normal doors. "Decoration blocks" has fences (including panes and iron bars), but does not have fence gates. I don't think of "Redstone" when I think of doors or fence gates; I think of fences and gates together.

Implication: A block can/should be on multiple places in the creative inventory screens.
