Minecraft Wiki talk:Issues/1.2.4

I had an internet disconnection while editing this page and it suddenly disappeared. If this caused the page to be removed by accident, my apologies.BrickVoid 00:43, 23 March 2012 (UTC)BrickVoid

Game Crash, that causes saves to stop working.
No idea what is causing this bug. Where can I find the log files? Syntoms: -Allows gameplay, for roughly 5 seconds, then crashes, to the point where I have to either ctrl+alt+del and end the java process, or reboot the computer, if ctrl+alt+del will not appear.

This was happening in 1.2.3, and I was hoping the update would fix this. I've tried complete re-install of both Minecraft and Java 32bit and 64bit. I've tried the windows and java executibles. --TLangas 01:27, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Cannot use forward slash as jump key anymore
With the 1.2.4 update, the forward slash key can still be set as the jump key, but pressing it now causes chat to appear with a forward slash in it, as if I were about to enter a command, instead of jumping. Prior to this release, setting the forward slash key as jump would cause game to execute jump when pressed, as expected. While this is a nifty feature, when you set "slash" as jump key you should jump instead of causing chat to appear with forward slash in it.

cant connect
I'm trying to connect to my brothers server (version 1.2.4) but it keeps saying connection timed out or connection refused or cant connect. even if i direct connect.

--Did it work before 1.2.4? Did your brother update his server to 1.2.4? Is your client 1.2.4? Did your brother open up the port in his firewall/router (25565) ? (apologies if this is not the correct way to respond to these things - this is talk, after all :) ) --User:Zootal 23:11, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

treegrowing
is this a feature or a bug that normal trees (not birch, not pine, not jungle) grow everywhere when you grow them with bonemeal. beside that, there is a bug, when they grow the leaves destroy halfsteps, fence, stairs and some other block types. this bug is in mc since a few versions (dunno when it first occured) --MG127 20:12, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Sticky pistons incorrectly retracting blocks [SMP]
In SMP, sending a 1 tick pulse to a sticky piston with a block on it will sometimes cause it to pull the block back in, rather than leaving it behind as it should. This creates a fake "duplicate" block that has collision and can be pushed, but will disappear upon right-clicking or reconnecting. This happens more frequently when powering multiple pistons.  The wool marked by torches are in the wrong position. If a block is placed on top of them they will be removed and appear 1 block above. Tested on a vanilla 1.2.4 server, not sure if it's a connection issue.--4338A

Annoyance: Forward slash for SMP chat
When you use forward slash to open the text bar, the bar opens with a slash already written. So if the chat button is, say, any letter, the chat box opens regularly and you can just start typing. If forward slash is used as the chat key, the chat box opens with a forward slash already in the text bar. Very annoying getting an 'unknown command' message every time I forget to press delete after opening chat to speak.
 * Just don't use the forward slash button when you just want to send a message. Use the normal talk button: "t". Pressing forward slash is a shortcut for typing out a command so that you don't have to press "t" and then forward slash to start the command. --Mattrition 09:49, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

sapling drops
i dont know what is specifically causing this or if this is just really bad coincidence but exactly 73 trees were destroyed, in the process i only got 41 saplings (2/3 sapling per tree) this is in smp, and other people in the server seem to be seeing the same problem

Mac: Java Folder Doesn't Let Me Update [1.2.4]
Beatsolos 00:46, 24 March 2012 (UTC) '''Every one please read! ''' So I saw that the new minecraft update (1.2.4) came out. so I click to update and in the middle of updating My screen says this:

Fatal Error (4): /User/[User]/Library/Application Support/Minecraft/Bin/Minecraft.jar            Retrieving: lwjgl_until.jar 20% 21.97 KB/sec

So I went to my finder and through all it told me to. When I went into the minecraft.jar folder, the lwjgl_until.jar folder wasn't located in there. It was actually located in the Bin. At First I thought I have to place that .jar floder in the minecraft.jar. so I tried it again and it still said the same thing. So I got a bit worried that i thought i would never be able to update my minecraft. So what i did was delete minecraft then re download it. I did it and since it still had the same files, It still wasn't working. I really need help I dont know if this has happened before but I need answers! Also My minecraft was working just perfect before and also it updated normally. Then one day it randomly started asking me if I wanted to update it but there was no update so i ignored it and said 'Not Now'.

I also wanted to say that I do have a few mods downloaded [Capes Mod, TooManyItems Mod, and SinglePlayerCommands Mod]

And remember I am on a MacBook Air.

Please help and thank you :D Beatsolos 00:46, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

High-Y Mob Spawners and Render Distance Bug
I built a high-Y mob trap and noticed nothing was spawning. After much trial and error, I noticed my render distance was on short. I moved it up to normal and I got a few mobs, then I moved it to far and got a very large amount. It would appear that there is a bug concerning high-Y mob spawning and render distance. Will anyone check or confirm this? I'm on 1.2.4 on 32 bit.

Need help with double-clicking issue
Recently I have been experiencing trouble with placing blocks. I click once, it places it twice. I spend double the time destroying blocks I never intended to make. It's not the mouse I'm using. It started recently and has progressively gotten worse to the point of every other block is placed twice. This is incredibly frustrating as you can imagine, and if this is my fault please explain a way to fix it.

Nether Fortress not generating
I made a world in 1.2.3 and when I updated to 1.2.4, I decided to make a Nether portal. I searched around for about 5 minutes without finding any sign of a Nether Fort. There was obviously enough room for one, it just didn't spawn. Seed is 32159913.

Villager reproduction
A Villagers reproduce way too much, I have a house in a village and it is very hard to get around the village during the day, and houses are crammed at night. About 3/4 of the villagers are children. They seem to be randomly reproducing even if no other house is made.

Creating new world Black screen

 * Second time I have posted this, someone removed it for some reason
 * Not getting this error --Sejsel 18:06, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Neither am I. --[User:Sanoth|Sanoth]] 18:18, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Unable to reproduce this too. Any error log or cmd report? -EvilSeph 18:49, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * No error log, Minecraft just sits on a black screen until you close it. Happened on two different machines both running Windows 7 Pro 64Bit with latest Java 7 - Lucifer_LLS 18:55, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, Java 6. Unable to reproduce. I bet this is a java 7 issue.
 * Upgrading to the newest Java is not always the best idea. Try it with Java 6 and report back
 * Unable to reproduce. With Windows 7 Pro 64Bit, Java 7. Maybe you're also naming the worlds something in particular, or have certain security settings? 69.116.205.16 01:06, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Tried even on a fresh install of Minecraft. I do have Java 7 JDK installed rather than just JRE. Does MC use the server compiler if its available? Maybe that's the difference - Lucifer_LLS 01:29, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I was getting this also; seemed to be a terrain generation glitch. Forcing an update seemed to solve it. Sangheili1024 06:27, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
 * This happened to me. I made a new world in creative and the game crashed before I even got a chance to spawn.  I re-entered the world and flew around until 10 minutes later when a Saving Chunks screen appeared followed by a crash. For those of you who are wondering, I have Windows Vista 32-bit, Java 6.0.310.5, if this helps. - AGSizzler 11:10, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I am having this periodically in Java 6.0.310.5 and Java 7 in Windows 7 32 and 64 (laptop desktop). - Nicholasiv 10:49, 24 March 2012 (MDT)
