Bugs

!In some computers (1.75 GB of RAM, 32-bit, 2.71 GHz, Windows XP SP3, Java 1.6) the world will still not save blocks, but will save player configuration. Example seen here http://imgur.com/a/xixYo#0 (1st and 2nd screenshot taken in a run, the 3rd one is after reloading the world). Here's a debug profile made while placing the blocks, if it helps. undefined --Manuelschi 17:06, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances a My SMP server uses 60% CPU when no users are logged in. The 1.2.5 server used 40%. AFAIK, there is no good reason why it should use any amount of CPU when nobody is logged in. My server uses much more electricity than neccesary because of this. Thue 15:50, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm running two servers on mac at the same time, getting a 2% CPU usage when noone logged in, it gets up to 50% when I log in from my computer (so, 2 Minecraft Servers + Minecraft Client). I usually got al least 75% usage on previous versions (same 2% when no one logged in). iMac 21.5 late 2010, 8 GB RAM (1 GB assigned to every server, and 2GB assigned to Minecraft client). --Asmcsl 17:03, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Spawner egg or mob spawner? Either way, the game is not supposed to give you the chance to do that. It's like trying to use a spawner egg to spawn an item entity, it will crash. Since it cannot be reproduced on vanilla minecraft without 3rd party programs i vote for deletion.--Manuelschi 22:53, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It was a spawner block, like you find in dungeons, and because in the previous snapshot the special spawner permissions were added but only accessible through 3rd party editing I don't think this can be overlooked. --SoaringChris137 23:26, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

 * This may be caused by 'view-distance' in the server.properties file being set above the default value of 10. --Recondite 20:32, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Gameplay
Bugs

!mp Player 1 can push Player 2 around on their screen but Player 2 doesn't move on their screen. Therefore Player 1 can push Player 2 in lava and Player 2 will take unnecessary damage.-- QuAd205 03:00, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I've had this happening too. Seems to glitch with any entity pushing the player. I was shot by a few skeleton arrows and walked around to hit them but saw them firing at a wall while I got hurt. Done using the minecraftserver.exe Lukesoccer21 05:42, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

!? Any blocks above Y=191 when logging into a single player world become invisible. Logging out on a structure above this level on SSP made me unable to move, place blocks, or break blocks because I was glitched into invisible blocks. --68.33.111.198 16:08, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems to also occur in multiplayer for me. Anyone else able to add any more information? -TheWyo 23:14, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Occurs for me as well. Can produce screenshots if need be. Also, the blocks seem to reappear upon a block update; the structure that disappeared for me was a farm so when farmed soil became wet farmed soil, it showed up. When melons grew, they showed up. Placing a block on the newly appeared blocks causes it to turn into whatever block is actually there (making the old block visible). Exiting the game and returning makes all blocks invisible again. -Bleaker 01:14, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This happened to me in the Nether. I thought I screwed something up in MCEdit. I couldn't interact with the blocks, but they stopped my motion. I was flying upward into a ceiling of bedrock in creative. I could not break them or place blocks, though I didn't do much testing as I thought it was my world file. --5thHorseman 04:05, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined When crouching next to a block that has vines, the player will "glide" as if on ice.
 * Default property of ladders. If you sneak on a ladder you glide just as you said. Vines have the properties of ladders, but you need to push against a wall to ascend. --Manuelschi 17:17, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined With some bed placements, you fall out of the bed instead of sleeping in the bed. See File:Falloutofbed.png to reproduce this. Seems like some part of the game code still thinks the player is standing, so it's trying to prevent him from suffocating by pushing him away in some direction. -- JonHa97 18:44, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

undefinedspI destroyed many ice-blocks in a frozen lake with an enchanted axe (fortune III, efficence IV, unbreaking III) until the axe broke. The last ice-block disappeared and there was a hole. Around it there was water. I couldn't swim through it. I placed blocks from the bottom of the lake to the top and the ice-block I destroyed came back.

undefined Eggs thrown by dispensers will sometimes spawn chickens in a block. The chicken will suffocate and die. Other eggs function normally. ~Cm283 20:21, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

a When you die, and respawn (no beds involved), you are teleported to the highest point of the spawn region. This makes it hard for custom map makers to create indoor maps without players getting out of the map when they die. I don't know how long this has been happening, but I noticed it in 12w26a. --76.188.50.201 16:51, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

! 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)

undefinedsp A piston with a redstone wire on a block diagonally up from it will extend when it shouldn't, and will not retract even if the redstone wire is turned off.

Annoyances 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 19:58, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

a If you place a block to make a wall and stand as close as possible to that wall, and then place a block, the game renders the block for a moment, then disappears.
 * I don't think this is a bug; you're placing a block in a space you're partially occupying, so the game tries to place it, but then removes it. This is nothing new and is certainly not a major bug. Please visit the Classifying bugs page and sign your comments with ~ . Downgrading and editing for clarity. --Keithicus420 18:40, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

n 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)

a! Interface redrawing is slowed signifcantly by in-game lag? What happens is that whenever I am in a jungle and experiencing lag, I hit Esc to enter into the UI to swap the graphics from Fancy to Fast, but doing this very thing means that the UI is lagged very badly until the Fast graphics are actually enabled in the UI. If Mojang could at least separate the draw/redraw of the UI from the draw/redraw of the world rendering I would be able to at least swap to a different rendering mode much more easily. Additionally, if Mojang could come up with an interim fix for jungle biomes that limits the amount of lag they are allowed to force into the rendering of the jungle biome until Mojang get to fixing it in 1.4 that would be very helpful to people lagging in jungle biomes. BrickVoid 00:25, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * An update to this bug, the lag still seems to happen in jungle biomes but the client is now apparently capable of reducing it although the fact still remains that jungles cause lag under certain circumstances. To anyone else experiencing this lag in a world generated in a snapshot prior to this snapshot, the current 12w27a snapshot does still lag in the same manner if you load a world generated in a previous snapshot with jungle lag problems.  The lag the old snapshot generated may still cause the same lag, however, generating the same world seed with the new snapshot seems to cut down the jungle biome lag to almost nothing.  I've tested this with a seed I use a lot, and it would appear that a big lag problem at the moment seems to be jungle temples, I don't know if this is directly related to the temples themselves, however, the temporary workaround I found for the last snapshot still seems to work.  Go to the graphics option, and then switch from Fancy to Fast graphics.  Switching back to Fancy graphics also appears possible if sufficient time is given for the client to recover while in Fast graphics mode. BrickVoid 05:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I've changed this to a major annoyance. It's not a bug but it is annoying. I split the interface annoyance away from the "jungle lag" issue. I have also altered the start of the report because of the split. --Mattrition 10:22, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
