Crashing/system
Bugs !!smp Dedicated server crash when a second player joined, out of memory crash. I'm going to continue to write about this until it's fixed, it's weird there's no feedback from mojang regarding this. It's going to be gamebreaking for everyone that play online. --Shelter 17:55, 23 October 2012 (UTC) This is a later crash report that occured this evening: undefined
 * Did you experience this crash more than once? Have you experienced it in 1.4.1pre?  If your answer to either one of those is "no" then don't expect to get a response from Mojang.  From what you have posted it is easy to assume that you either experienced a freak crash that will never happen again or that the bug has been fixed in 1.4.1pre Regdoug 19:28, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * We've had this issue since 12w37a. I've seen him post on almost every snapshot and pre-release about this bug. It's a very annoying bug that has happened repeatedly to my server. Phascinate 15:44, 23 October 2012 (EST)
 * Yes, check my previous bug reports, last working server is 12w36a. :( From what I've seen it usually crashes upon player joins or portal usage, other than that I haven't seen anything special to pin down the crashes. --Shelter 21:27, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I also have seen the same problem, starting after 12w36a. Exact same symptoms, resulting in out of memory exception and server crash 2-5 times a day. Three players should have no trouble running on 1.5GB of RAM! -jamminjulia 19:32, 23 October 2012 (EST)
 * 512 MB server and it will crash every couple of hours even if there is only one player online. Also getting the Out of Memory crash reports, but with the sub-text of javaheapspace. -MrScaryMuffin 3:12, 24 October 2012 (EST)

 * We've spent a lot of time trying to detect if there are any memory leaks, but haven't found anything. It's possible that there is something special going on in your world, so could you upload it somewhere and email me about it instead? Thanks, / jeb_
 * Alternatively, if you have the jdk on your server computer, and notice that the server is close to crashing, dump the memory with jmap so we can analyze it! :) / jeb_

Gameplay
Bugs ! When you create a flatland world, delete it and create a normal world with the exact same name and seed, sometimes the chunks that had already been generated in the flatland world, will still be flatland in the nornal world.


 * when you delete the first flatland world, delete it also in your saves folder.

! Paintings don't check for collision with other paintings when placed. -- Daniel 14:43, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

! Extended duration potions end prematurely, with ~2:00 minutes remaining (small correction, happens at 1:33 remaining). Effect disappears from character and inventory screen. This bug happened consistently with extended duration strength and fire resistance potions. Have not tried with normal duration potions, yet. -- Brandon 3:34 (updated at 3:43), 24 October 2012 (UTC)

(not an actual block). If anything is put in it's place even if it's a different shape (e.g. Fence) the cracks wrap around the object though it doesn't become damaged. The "block" and it's affects disappear after a few seconds or a chunk reload. --5ives 20:14, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Blocks
Bugs

! Furnaces can be glitched to have infinite fuel. Put a lava bucket in, put some things in to smelt, re-logged and furnace GUI flames never decreased but smelted things. Marked as major due to it being very similar to a duplication bug.
 * Actually, it might possibly be visual, but is not fixed after re-log, checking now.


 * Try this. Add lava, add processable, wait couple of minutes (do not log out) &gt;result&gt; meter showing state of fuel is decreased. Logging out causes the whole thing. It's visual thing that makes game forgot what type of fuel was used. It turns assumed fuel type to 1 process lasting without changing how much there is left of it. That result's it to be constantly full until very last seconds. --188.238.164.69 14:52, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

spAnvil Block incorrectly falls and wrong texture:start falls,falls.

undefinedRepeaters do not always lose their signal correctly when supplied with a repeating pulse. This seems to occur when the pulse length is equal to or less than the repeater's delay setting. As a specific example, if you have a series of repeaters set to a 4-tick delay and use a 5-clock and edge detector/pulse limiter that defaults to "on" with 3-tick "off" pulses, all but the last repeater will carry the wave of pulses; the last repeater will be stuck on. However, if you place another repeater after that one, it will start working again. The new repeater, if set to 4 ticks, will also get stuck on. Interestingly, the repeater can be turned sideways so that the previous one locks it instead of transferring the signal, and all repeaters will function correctly--the repeaters work as expected as long as they're followed by another repeater. See this video for a visual demonstration (more than this one example): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7WOHNOWF3I. - Aedarin 02:45, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

undefined Command blocks (triggered by stone pressure plates directly connected to them) behave strangely when teleporting players. Sometimes, the player is teleported a little inside the destination block, trapping the player until (s)he relogs. Sometimes, the block will not teleport you, but the screen will flash black for a split second and the player will still be at the command block. If the teleport takes you to unloaded chucks, the terrain fails to appear for the client, again trapping the player until (s)he relogs. This is over a distance of about 100-200 blocks. Somewhat problematic for map makers. 74.141.203.2 12:30, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

undefined Fire that is caused by lightning strike and subsequently extinguished by rain leaves ghost fire blocks that don't spread or do damage and don't appear to extinguish themselves until relogging. 88.67.209.90 12:43, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I noticed this on my hardcore world, i had a few items i wanted to delete, so i tossed them in. Even though i watched them disappear, i also watched them stack back up in my inventory (this was raw chicken, a creeper blew up my house where my furnace was and didn't return it.). Then i realised this was glitched fire, if i remove the block beneath it it simply disappeared, but if i placed it back the fire reappeared. If i tossed an item into the fire when it was invisible i also saw it catch flame and disappear, but i could still recollect it. the only way to remove it was to place a block on the fire and remove it, relogging also worked. Something i'd like to test is if you burn an item in glitched fire, disconnect and reconnect that if the item was still there. Trigger hurt 13:48, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

a When NAMING items, if you try name over expensive item, it say too expensive. There should be way to make non-nameable, but not this way. Maybe have interface tick on anvil that is on creative that controls if items is nameable in survival EDIT:or maybe even have that tick on survival too but only available when item is still nameable.

 * To add to that, Zombie Pigmen have an unfairly long reach, making it extremely difficult to hit them back, sometimes impossible to hit without taking damage on servers. --Ningamerl 14:50, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

a! After mobs die, their hitbox remains throughout their death animation. This is annoying because it takes tool/sword durability rapidly and stops you from hitting any other mobs close to the one killed. This has been here for a while, but has really come out for me after the SSP merge. If the hitbox could simply be removed after the mob receives the killing blow, this would be so much better. Also, mainly noticed and annoying in a flatland chicken farm while trying to kill them with a stone sword: one would die but remain in the death animation and while I clicked it was breaking my sword and not hurting anything else.

a! When dying, a Wither Skeleton has a chance to pick up its own dropped head, causing the head to disappear. The head will briefly appear with the dropped coal and bones but disappears just before the fallen Wither Skeleton corpse despawns. Mining around where the Whither Skeleton was killed does not reveal a head so I assume the Skeleton picked it up as it died. 76.178.144.230 08:26, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

 * I confirmed that this may be the same bug in Asmcsl's report. My Anvils have the same glitch. It seems that if a block model contacts with its neighbor (solid block) then the game engine removes or hides the surfaces looking at that direction. This symptom happen with all other non-rectangular blocks or those which have multiple surfaces including at least one surface meeting with the block boundary--such as cobblestone walls, fences, ender portal frame filled with an eye of ender, and beacon. Other blocks such as chests, ender chests does not have this glitch and they have no surface meeting the block boundary. Stairs are another exception case. Maybe this is a bug due to optimization? --Daybreaker 16:12, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

a The enderman staring sound looks weird. If you stare at an enderman it will play the sound based on his actual position (if you are infront of him the sound will play, but if he teleports away the sound will change the volume based by the distance between the enderman and you), but when you kill him while the sound is still playing, the sound will play until it ends, even if the enderman is already dead.
