a The new F3 altitude indicator is a little confusing, implying that the altitude is in the US standard unit "feet" more than its intention of indicating the position of the player's feet. My own nomenclature is "standing on", probably resulting in "y-so: 82.000, y-eye: 83.620" to be consistent with the debug screen's existing personality. -- Featherwinglove 00:46, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Blocks
Bugs !I reported a bug that causes the player to place two blocks in one frame in the report page for the 12w27a snapshot. Further along, I discovered that this also messes with doors, levers, and gates, where two inputs cause two state changes and thus a return to the state you are trying to frob the device from. Now that I'm playing with Pre-release 1.3, I've now discovered that this bug can also place blocks in the space the player character is occupying, probably related to the fix countering the pillaring problem associated with merge lag. Shortly before this video begins, I was trapped on the edge of the roof I was building and had to fall from it to escape. If such a thing happens while bridging in the Nether, it could be fatal. I have not yet tested for suffocation damage, but I'm expecting to find that as well. I therefore think the problem of the pillaring fix combined with the old double-input bug forms a major problem in Minecraft 1.3. Featherwinglove 00:33, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yet today i covered the top of a hole going down to bedrock (and that's a lot of blocks to update light on, so i got a huge lag spike) and when it resumed i had placed blocks all the way to my face. --Steve G. Wood 04:07, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Applying power to the piston will not fix it and it needs to be manually destroyed to become unextended. This bug is major because it breaks many automated sugarcane farms.--mmmfrieddough

If you destroy all the black sand blocks there will sometimes be some sand ghosts left, you can walk throught some of them, and some you can't, you can't break them too and if you break the block under it the sand ghost will fall. This happens with gravel and dragon eggs too(dragon eggs will not be black). You need to rejoin the world to fix this.
