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)
 * But it's not a bug. There is no promised or expected backwards comparability between released versions of Minecraft. Why would you expect it in snapshots? --5thHorseman 17:55, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

! When I come back from the Nether, no chunks load and I fall out of the world. Sometimes I die, and everything reloads normally, but sometimes I keep falling forever and and have to restart the game.
 * I am getting this too. Either I fall into the Void and die (pausing and reloading leaves me stuck in the ground, suffocating) or I get stuck where I spawn, unable to move, forcing me to reload the save. Chunks load normal after I respawn or reload. 69.113.144.41 20:02, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Also of note that it can happen either going to or coming from the Nether. Both worlds may fail to load. 69.113.144.41 20:38, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

!! Got the following crash when switchching from creative to survival in a flat world SSP undefined --User:Icelebrity 17:49, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

!! My client crashes every time a few seconds after connecting to one server; I can play on another server fine but other people on that one are having similar problems. 12w27a on both worked fine. undefined

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)

Gameplay
Bugs

su I tried punching a wild wolf in the wilderness and it does not do damage to me in return. It's nothing too serious, but if others come across the same issue then it would become somewhat of an annoyance. I have not tried this in multiplayer or punching a tamed dog. --cLvBearCastle

undefined Mobs may spawn inside jungle biome leaves. See: [] --CallumTennant
 * This isn't really a bug and is present in 1.2.5 -- Easton39

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)

mp When teleporting to the nether the server lags. A noticeable spike on the server client appears also. Screenshot: []

sp When teleporting to the nether first time upon log in, I arrive fine in nether ok, but the return trip through the portal had me fall out of the world into a void. After respawn an attempt to travel through the same portal will then leave the player suspended and the nether does not load. world save http://www.mediafire.com/?06gphyzh97qa49c Savagebeat 19:58, 23 July 2012 (UTC) savagebeat

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.

undefinedmp The client does not accept the fact that other players are pushing it. If you push someone else by standing in their hitbox the server and your client see the player as being pushed but the player being pushed does not appear to be pushed on their screen, for example if you push a player into lava they will catch on fire and take damage but the player being pushed into lava will see another player walk through them and then catch on fire and take damage, the player pushing the other player will then see the player pushed rubberband back to their previous position as if they had never moved at all but still on fire. --TheSandwichMakr 23:48, 23 July 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 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)

Annoyances

a Breaking a block underwater doesn't show the breaking animation when standing above water

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)

 * Sorry, I was in 12w30a, but I just tested in 30b, and it didn't happen.


 * (struck trough since non-bug) --80.134.11.177 12:50, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

a 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)
 * Not a Bug. Set to annoyance --YellowMiner 17:43, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

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)

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
 * I think this happens because it's loading a river biome on a layer higher than 63. Water will only generate in a river or ocean at level 63 or below, I think.

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)

! OK I had this as a major annoyance in 12w26a (and seen it at least from 24a) and still goes, but (a) it got ignored (as it still goes) and (b) it can be considered major because if it happens, you are stuck in the map and have to quit. Download my map. my map Directly in front of the player is a cave. Go straight. Try to go down. BOOM! A whole chunk disappears and seems you can drop down to oblivion. You cannot drop easily though, because the player is stuck in some invisible tile or something (no suffocation). You can go down sometimes with some cursor-key jerking. I have dug around and found that water and lava does not drop in there. Mobs CAN drop in there including myself. Happens with w26, but also w25 and w24 too. Don't know if it goes further back. Note, I have NO lag whatsoever (i5, 8GB RAM, nv570) and game does not crash. Just this issue. It MAY happen in other areas too. --NLS
 * I noticed one thing. I touched this "void" chunk, got stuck and... saved. When I reloaded it was fixed. I don't know what would happen if I saved while stuck where a solid block should be. Still, it is clearly a bug.

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)

a Spiders take fall damage. It is unrealistic to real spiders and also greatly hinders them in the fact they can easily suicide when you are inside a high shelter with a ceiling guard. Makes them less of a threat. --Steve G. Wood 23:29, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

a Slimes continue to overpopulate on Flat Maps. The following image was taken merely only 5 minutes into discovering this NPC village: It gets ten times worse than this while playing in longer intervals. The slimes continue to pile up in clipped areas of the village, unable to "pass through" on their journey. The bouncing slime sound that results is likened to some kind of mob induced psychological warfare. Attempts at playing in Survival Mode on a Flat Map are almost impossible due to the amount of slimes generating. --wyndkin 15:20, 23 July 2012 (PDT)

 * 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)

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.
