Minecraft Wiki:Issues/1.2.5pre

Organization of This Page & Instructions

 * Note: signing on this page and all other known bugs pages are allowed, (which normally isn't allowed on article pages).

Please do not spontaneously delete an issue report or comment, unless it is patent nonsense submitted by someone who has not logged in. If possible, contact the submitter by user-talk first and tell them about your concerns. They will almost certainly oblige. As always, assume good faith.

If you're unsure of an issue, it's good practice to post about it on the |talk page to see whether others can reproduce it. Make sure you're testing the bug in the correct version (for this page, that's 1.2.4) with no mods installed. Also, make sure to proofread your issue report before submitting it; unintelligible issue reports come off as inconsiderate and disrespectful. Finally, please determine which game mode(s) your issue appears in, and flag it with the appropriate label(s). (Also, note that if, for example, a minor annoyance appears in both single-player and multiplayer, and in both creative and survival modes, you should label it as a, not aspmpsucr.)

Be sure to sort issues by category, type, and priority: redstone issues go in the Redstone section, etc.; bugs go in the Bugs subsection, with major bugs listed before minor bugs, annoyances in the Annoyances subsection, with major ones before minor ones, and issues that Jeb has marked as fixed or skipped are moved to the Fixed/Skipped section. Issues that Jeb cannot reproduce, however, are to remain in their original place.

Please sign all issue reports and comments by typing   (three tildes; tilde may be found above  on USA keyboards, and to the right of  on British keyboards).

There is no need to place bullet points before issue labels. Use bullet points only for comments. Be sure to leave a single totally blank line before each new issue (but not before comments), unless the issue appears directly beneath a header.

Issue Labels
Please mark your issue with one of these issue labels: (listed from highest priority to lowest)
 * !! =  !!  = Critical bug that can crash a Minecraft client or server.
 * ! =  !  = Major bug. Use this tag sparingly; if there is consensus your bug is not major, it will be downgraded.
 * a! =  a!  = Major annoyance. Think very carefully before flagging an annoyance as major.  Is it really more important than most minor bugs?  Use this tag sparingly; if there is consensus your annoyance is not major, it will be downgraded.
 * undefined =  undefined  = Minor bug.
 * a =  a  = Annoyance.
 * ? =  ?  = Potential issue that you are unsure of or that the community (on the discussion page) believes requires further vetting. Note: do not use this label to indicate this-is-not-a-bug; instead, replace the issue's current label with [A] or [A!].  Furthermore, it is inappropriate to use this to flag something you disagree with; instead, express your opinion in a comment. When you apply this label to an issue, place it after the issue's existing labels; do not remove those labels.

Labels for indicating that an issue happens only in a particular game mode: (These labels cannot stand alone; you must use them in addition to, not instead of, the ones listed above.)
 * sp =  sp  = Single-player.
 * mp =  mp </tt> = Multiplayer.
 * su =  su </tt> = Survival mode.
 * cr =  cr </tt> = Creative mode.

Labels for indicating that an issue is restricted to a particular OS:
 * =  </tt> = Mac OS X
 * =  </tt> = Windows
 * =  </tt> = GNU/Linux

Labels that Mojang (not you!) uses: (Please place these tags in front of existing issue labels; do not remove the existing labels.)
 * f = Issue for which a fix will appear in the next update.
 * n = Not a bug; intended behavior. By definition, this label is inapplicable to annoyances; annoyances are not bugs.
 * s = Issue that will not be fixed in the next update.
 * u = Issue that Mojang has tested but was unable to reproduce.

To produce these labels, use the following code:  </tt>c </tt> where c is the code of the label you wish to use. (e.g., a for annoyances, etc.)

The default issue type is minor bug; you can produce this label with the shorthand  undefined </tt>.

Crafting/Enchanting/Brewing/Interface
a! The enchanting system has always, and continues to be frustratingly unfair. sometimes producing Efficiency III when a level 50 enchant is used. Considering you need to kill NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE zombies/creepers etc, to get to Level 50, users are naturally in consensus that, to quote Yahtzee Croshaw, the ratio of difficulty to find versus actual usefulness is completely arbitrary. While we respect the mystique Mojang have tried to create about enchanting, the numbers need serious review. Kizzycocoa

Items and Tools
undefined cr Saddles are used up when used on pigs.

undefined cr Raw Fish is used up when used on ocelots.

undefined cr Dyes are used up when used on sheep.

undefined cr Potions and Splash Potions are used up.

a When using tools to break blocks that are instantly broken with a single bare-handed punch, durability on that tool is used up. This is incredibly annoying when doing something such as trying to kill a chicken in tall grass.
 * That's your fault. Also mark your posts. --Moxxy 22:32, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Blocks
undefined When smelting Redstone and Lapis Lazuli Ore, it only gives you one measly Redstone or Lapis Lazuli.

a! End Portals cannot be placed in the End. So, if a player in Creative Mode breaks the portal that the Ender Dragon drops, it will be irreplaceable even in multiplayer with the /give command.

Bugs
! Several sound instances do not play:
 * Chicken egg laying sounds.
 * Pressure plate, lever, button sounds.
 * Buttons make the 'on' noise, but not the 'off' noise. --Rifflesby
 * Mob/Other Player stepping sounds.
 * Other Player mining sounds (the sounds playing before the mining is finished - see Obsidian or Bedrock for examples).
 * Fishing rod sounds (reeling should not make a sound).
 * Cave sounds (or at least, they are not synchronized between players).
 * Slime and Magma Cube sounds.
 * Hoe breaking sounds.
 * Armor breaking sounds.

! A few graphical elements are missing:
 * Fishing rod "line".
 * Fishing rod "line" in held item. It shouldn't appear when the line is casted.
 * Other Player breaking animations.
 * Magma Cube animations.

! Mining takes longer in multiplayer than in singleplayer. This is caused by a click-mining 'fix' that was added in Beta 1.3 and is not needed.
 * How is it not needed? Unless you provide proof this is a side effect of preventing a bug and not a bug itself. --Moxxy 22:36, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

! Slimes and Magma Cubes randomly warp up and down when they have a ceiling above them.

! Knockback and damage screen calculation is often wrong in multiplayer, actually dealing knockback when it shouldn't (like drowning or being on fire).

undefined Arrows "warp up" when shot on walls. They also disappear and become impossible to collect when shot on ceilings.

undefined The anti-spam does not really prevent spam.
 * I can type 4-5 messages a second as non-op and I do not get kicked. <font color="Blue">C <font color="Orange">ali <font color="Purple">nou - talk × contribs » 23:43, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

undefined Arrow shooting is buggy and sometimes "resets" the charging progress.

undefined Not able to breed chickens and only able to breed some cows and sheep.

undefined Having trouble making dogs change from sitting position.

Annoyances
a Instead of saying "Outdated Server!" when going on a 1.1 server, it says:" Internal Exception: java.net.SocketException:Connection reset"

a When connecting to an outdated server/client, protocol version/game version should be shown.

a! When the "/" key is designated as the Chat key, it will automatically insert a "/" into the chat window. Should not do this if the Chat key is designated as such.

a When changing the size of the window, anything entered into the direct connect box disappears. 134.71.157.43 nuker2

GUI
undefined CMD-V does not work when typing things into the world name, seed, direct connect, and edit server info textboxes. CTRL-V works, but it is not good on the muscle memory of a Mac user.

a! cr End Portals are not in Item Selection.

a cr Dragon Egg is not in Item Selection.

a! cr Potions are not in Item Selection.

Language
undefined In the original en_US.lang, the "s" in "Add server" is not capitalized, while "Join Server" is.
