Bugs

!! AWT on SMP error regardless of nogui flag. Takes about five minutes to happen, then the server becomes unresponsive.

undefined
 * Note, prior to 12w16a, SMP worked fine on the same platform. --Inertia

!! Minecraft crashes with "Internal Server Error" when attempting to destroy an Ender Crystal with an exploding bed. When relogged, the crystal is gone and the bed is dropped as an item. A similar situation occurs with TNT. It explodes then locks up the world. Upon relogging the crystal is gone.
 * Can you post a crash report if you can find one? --Mattrition 10:52, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

! A bug occurs that causes Minecraft to use up more memory - might be a memory leak. Evidence:
 * Can confirm. Allocated memory doesnt decrease while switching worlds. --Manuelschi 19:00, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

! sp Since the single player server update (12w18a ahead) single player is unplayable at low-end computers (32-bit processors and less than 2 GB of RAM which would be playable at 20 fps in previous versions). I'm able to play for at most 10 minutes before world stops responding. --Manuelschi 21:33, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This could be related to the bug above. --Mattrition 10:52, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * No, this is due having a computer not powerful enough to host a server. --Manuelschi 17:58, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Is your inventory key 'F' by any chance? - Mustek 12:48, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would explain it, except Fog Distance was remapped to F3+F, so it's still a bug. This doesn't happen in 1.2.5 --Txtsd 12:56, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

! After some minutes of gameplay, any spawned mobs will freeze, entities like minecarts and boats will disappear, i am unable to fire arrows or throw potions, breaked blocks will not be dropped as a resource, i cannot use or open chests, workbenches, ect., priming TNT will make the block disappear, and mobs will no longer spawn. In general, entities are erased from the game.

undefined Please answer instead of ignoring, the bug where redstone lines dont work after longer distances anymore. Has this been acknowledged? will anything be done or will it simply be covered up and ignored?
 * Are you talking about just straight redstone with no repeaters? Redstone is only supposed to travel 15 blocks and then it becomes un-powered, you will need repeaters. If you are talking about it not working in unloaded chunks I thought they fixed that in one of the snapshots.
 * Im talking about with repeaters and thank you for your reply, with repeaters the max travel distance has been halved in these snapshots from 280 blocks to 150 blocks.
 * This bug page is not for provoking comments from the developers. It is for submitting a list of bugs to Mojang so that they have one place they can go to for find bugs to fix.

Please remove this report once you've read it and sign any other reports that you make, preferably using a registered account. --Mattrition 11:01, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * No it isnt, its for reporting and acknowledging bugs. Looking at most other bug reports a lot of them are getting attention as if something will be done. I reported this in the last snapshot and nothing was done about it not even a reply, ironically the bug still exists in this snapshot. How am i supposed to assume something is being worked on if no one replies, how do you know its on the list? - Chris
 * I'm sorry but you've got the wrong end of the stick. Pretty much all comments are made by other users, not Mojang staff. All we are trying to do here is compile a list of bugs found by the community. It's up to Mojang what they acknowledge and how, and most of the time they go ahead and fix stuff without any kind of feedback on this page.

a! Emerald Ore only generates in Extreme Hills/Extreme Hills Edge biomes. Once this gets released for SMP people are going to fight over the land/chunks, causing a lot of headache for the poor server admins.
 * As stated by Jeb, emerald ore is supposed to be super rare, as the primary resource of it is through selling to NPCs. They're just there as a little extra. -- Mustek  14:14, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

a! Trading is sometimes underpowered. Buying 3 glowstone with 1 emerald just doesn't sound right. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 11:53, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

 * So I don't think it's underpowered, I think it's overpowered ! Missingno 26 15:25, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Overpowered?!?! Are you serious? 3 glowstone blocks are almost nothing, it's much better to take a minimal risk and mine them in the Nether. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 19:40, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I think it's just the fact of being able to get Glowstone without risking you life in the Nether that annoy me ... Missingno 26 19:55, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, glowstone is one of the most valuable thing in most servers. Just after diamonds. 1 Emerald, however, IS nothing at all.
 * Glowstone isn't that risky to mine in the Nether... use dirt/cobble pillars; it doesn't have much value (not much possible uses, like gold). However, emeralds are rare and cost a lot of resources sometimes. C ali <font color="#0000aa">nou - talk × contribs » 09:59, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

a! Mining coal gives a seemingly disproportionate amount of EXP as opposed to, for example, mining diamond or emerald. This, the size of normal coal veins, and their frequency to generate leads to extreme amounts of level gains in very little time.
 * Certainly it is a feature, because I often ignore coal ores when I don't need them. Seems to be a way to make mining more attractive. By the way, you also get EXP for putting out smelted items from your oven. Even though I admit you are right: coal ores spawn too many EXP. Sorry for my English --91.49.40.83 05:12, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, this was clearly intended, so its more if an annoyance than a bug. --Mattrition 11:01, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

a! Ender dragon gives over 1200 levels upon death. Which means over 40 max levels enchantments, equivalent to 5 full sets of armor and tools. WAY overpowered for what it takes to defeat the dragon.

a I think that "buying" diamond tools/diamonds is a bit too overpowered. I'd suggest making the villagers ONLY sell gold and iron tools. Stone and wood isn't something to waste emeralds on.. - KrisEike
 * It is fine in my opinion, it should stay, maybe diamond tools should be a tad more expensive. <font color="#cccc00">C <font color="#00aaaa">ali <font color="#0000aa">nou - talk × contribs » 20:00, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

a Enchanting is way too overpowered, giving Fortune 3 + 2 more enchantments when spending 30 levels. - KrisEike
 * Moving discussion to talk page. Significant gripes include:
 * 'Underpowered'
 * 'Overpowered'
 * '[Still] too random'
 * 'Loss of previously available high level enchantments'
 * 'Too easy to farm XP levels, given that XP farms are generally geared up for the old 50-level system'

a When trading a diamond sword with a villager you'll get an enchanted version. When putting this enchanted version back in the trading slot and adding the emeralds required, you can trade. However you'll get the same sword back, but you'll lose your emeralds. --Roenmane

a Player can be spawned in the water.

a Book and Quill - Can't insert blank spaces into book. Doesn't seem to be a way to indent text. Hitting Enter does not create a new line if there is no text on the current one. Can't indent text by pressing the tab button or spacebar.
 * Current workaround: paste "§r" before attempting to indent, and also before hitting enter on blank lines. This is the reset formatting code, and will not show up in the text. Other formatting codes can also be used for this purpose. --WolfieMario 23:17, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

a Only 15 Bookshelves are needed to get the max level of 30, Should be changed in line with max level to keep it at 30 bookshelves -hghgnghd
 * Seeing as how bookshelves now cost three lether, too (one for each book), I think the total cost to set up a full enchantment table is good. It gives the player a lot more control over how you want to place them. With 30 bookshelves you hardly have anything to work with. 30 would be fine though, if the radius was increased. 91.144.213.35 11:05, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

a Weird boats behaviour. --194.85.161.2 10:50, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Please provide more information. This is a very unhelpful report and will be removed if you don't --Mattrition 11:01, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The angle of rotation is discrete. Sometimes empty boat pops one block up and floats in the air. --194.85.161.2 15:17, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

a Problem viewing all whitelisted players. I can type "/whitelist list" and see 14 of about 19 players. I've tried "/whitelist list 2", but it just ignores the 2 and lists the same players. Not sure how to view all of them. Keithicus420 05:37, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Bugs undefined When you are around 65 blocks away from a chest it will be invisible (only tested on singleplayer). --Swekob 2 June 2012

!fire caused by lighting strikes doesn't go away. you need to place a block to destroy it

! There seems to be cases in which dirt blocks will be loaded as stone blocks. Found the error in an extreme hills biome. The blocks had the stone texture as well as its durability, but when broken dropped dirt instead. Reloading minecraft caused the blocks to load properly.

undefined When collecting Mushroom blocks with Silk Touch it will not preserve the damage value. TorchicBlaziken 23:49, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined 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. TorchicBlaziken 23:59, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

! Mushrooms cannot be planted outside at night except on Mycelium. This is because the moonlight is considered 15, which is used by other crops so that they CAN grow outside at night. Some tweaking is in order. TorchicBlaziken 23:59, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When placing a wire from a tripwire on the ground and placing another one ontop of that one and removing the bottom one, you have a flying tripwire. When placing a block under it, the tripwire wire drops itself.
 * See this screenshot: - Mustek 12:42, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Floating tripwire is not a bug; dinnerbone has stated tripwire is meant to be able to float. Breaking when a solid block is placed under it, however, is a bug. --WolfieMario 23:22, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

undefinedStrange behavior for placing/removing water blocks, but only in some locations - found this in my world, which was created back in Minecraft beta. Noticed this in 12w21b, still exists here. Copy of my world:  (1) Go into the wheat field and use a water bucket to place a water block atop the half-block at x-25,z=24; bucket empties, no water visible, but right-clicking with the bucket in that spot retrieves the water. Placing the water on a half-block further down the field works as expected. (2) Placing the water on a wheat block near that first location appears to replace the wheat with water, but it doesn't flow; on retrieving the water block, the wheat reappears. (3) Try removing/placing water in the pook at x=23, z=13, aiming first at the half-blocks in the bottom of the pool and then at the sides of the pool. --TheSHAD0W 12:46 01 Jun 2012 MDT
 * Is this in single or multiplayer? It might be the spawn protection causing this. -- <font color="FF0000">Mustek  01:24, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined (In SSP) A desert well that was generated incompletely caused damage when I approached it (specifically, when I was in the spaces where the missing blocks would be). When I placed sand sand in the spots that caused damage, they turned into sandstone & sandstone slabs (whatever was missing). Also, in the desert there were a lot of "floating" sand blocks. EDIT: It seems as if some stacks of cactus are "invisible"; that might have been what caused the damage.

undefined you cannot place redstone dust on top of the up half of a slab.
 * I don't think that was ever possible (just tried on 12w21b). This isn't really a bug, it is a feature request. --Flapjacksmike 19:33, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

 * This is not an intended behavior, but it's not a bug either. slabs are transparent blocks such as stairs and you cannot place redstone on them. and it always have been like this.
 * If you do not work for Mojang, please do not use the F, N, S, or U tags. Read the directions at the top of the page before making any further posts. The incorrect use of tags cause difficulty and confusion for everyone. I have removed the improper tag use. CaMoreno3 07:29, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Redstone circuits become unreliable over a certain distance. For example in 1.2.5 the max distance was 280 blocks, now its 150 blocks. I have a city on my server and this bug has caused rail way switching systems to stop working. It would be even better if the circuit distance could be expanded beyond 280 blocks, not halved. --crisss994
 * ok this has been moved to the fixed/skipped section, it better be fixed because this bullshit bug is pissing me off. whats the point of a update if its gonna screw my world ffs
 * The point of an update is to add a bunch of awesome new features. The reason the redstone doesn't work for you is because nobody is in the chunks of your server. Redstone doesn't travel into unloaded chunks and so your redstone won't update if no player is in the chunk. If 1 person is standing at the end and 1 at the beginning the redstone will probably travel the whole way.
 * I love new updates but when they cause my world to malfunction something ive been working on for a long time its frustrating. your right they work when others are near the other end though it worked way longer distances before this snapshot without others on the other end, its been halved now.

a The huge mushroom blocks are not in Creative. It would be possible to include every damage value variant of those blocks. TorchicBlaziken 23:38, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

A The hitbox for placed string is very large. It should be scaled down to fit the actual size of the item, similar to fences.
 * It's intentionally large to help you build from the sides of it. It scales down to the real size when the wire is hooked up in both sides. If it always used that normal hitbox, it'd be extremely frustrating to build with. Dinnerbone 11:26, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Vertically, yes, it does scale down, but in my opinion, it should also scale down horizontally. One is able to set off the tripwire by occupying the same block even if the actual wire isn't stepped on. The large horizontal size also makes it harder to jump over.
 * It actually doesn't scale down as shown in this screenshot. - Mustek 12:40, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

A Getting XP from Coal Ore is unbalanced : as deposits of coal are commun and usually large, the amount of XP you can expect a single deposit of coal is really high. Similary, as Iron deposits are commun in caverns, Getting XP by smelting iron is also unbalanced. These are even more unbalanced if you consider that maximal level enchantment is now 30 instead of 50. That's why I suggest apply this XP drop feature only on Rare Ores (Emeralds, Diamonds, Lapis-Lazuli and Redstone and smelted Gold). Missingno 26 14:13, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I disagree. I think it's a great idea that all of these actions drop XP, however they may drop too much XP. Perhaps the amount of XP dropped per event should be lowered, and, if not already, scaled by the rarity of each resource, i.e. coal drops very little xp while diamond drops a greater amount.
 * Well ... I guess if Coal dropped 1 XP and Iron dropped 2 XP then it would be OK.
 * Are you kidding? Should be more like a 1 in 10 chance of dropping experience. I found myself jump 10 levels from just two pockets of coal. Top tier enchantments should be something you need to save for.

a When scooping up water/lava with stacked buckets and a full hotbar, the filled bucket goes into inventory and the stacked ones stay in the hotbar. It is rather annoying when you need the liquid immediately after scooping up it. 42.2.110.225
 * But VERY convenient if you want to get 16 water buckets very fast. It act just like bottles.

a Cauldrons "fill" with rain water in the desert when it is stormy despite the fact that it doesn't rain in the desert -- Espatross 01:38, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

a Getting XP from ores etc. is annoying because of the colorful particles and the "bling" sounds. These effects are okay for killing mobs but don't make much sense for destroying ore. It also destroy the atmosphere of a dark, silent, creepy cave etc. if it constantly makes these sounds and generates these colorful particles. Perhaps you should just get XP without spawning these orbs. -- JonHa97 06:19, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes, I was playing single player with the latest un-modded snapshot, I was digging down into a cave, found a stream of water bordered by lava. I got killed by a skeleton knocking me into the lava and I was unable to reach the water in time, when I died my armor fell on the ground there as you see it.  When I respawned, I was unable to pick it up, I tried digging below it, letting it fall, walking into it from underneath and overhead.  I noticed that it was odd that I could actually place blocks and make it pop up, but if I placed blocks next to it, then on top of it, the iron helmet would stay embedded in the blocks, not pop up like it should.--Verifex 19:59, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

They also sometimes spring up and down as the leaf blocks above them randomly decay, and you can usually pick them all by by the time the last leaf block from a harvested tree has disappeared, but it's the same issue as described above.

World Generator
Bugs

! As with prior snapshots, there are massive chunk errors in the generated maps; especially in "large biomes" mode. Those mostly are quickly found already near to the spawn point and often cross through the whole biome with another one with a flat border as typically for this. (Vanilla with snapshot-JAR only.) Before last final (1.2.5) these are not seen at any time for me (of course, there was no "large biomes" mode back then and this means in "normal" mode for that case).

! Pyramids can generate in jungles. Screenshot (Seed: divinecomedy)
 * The same thing happened in a plains biome: Screenshot Seed: -1105909183526117424

undefined Just like abandoned mineshafts were before the floors were implemented, strongholds generate weirdly when they cross a ravine. The seed -623160645725253637 is a good example of this with a stronghold in a hole close to spawn which crosses an underground ravine. TorchicBlaziken 22:00, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined Ever since Minecraft 1.1, surface strongholds can no longer generate because the part that goes above ground is deleted. I think this is a bug because a surface stronghold was featured in Jeb_'s first screenshot of strongholds which leads me to believe that surface strongholds are an intentional feature of the game that was accidentally removed.

a Cacti can now be generated 6 blocks high. I don't know if this is a bug or intended behavior. LMNSA 17:15, 31 May 2012 (PST)

a Since they were implemented, strongholds and mineshafts are sometimes generated extremely huge making it nearly impossible to discover everything without getting lost. Also they look pretty much the same everywhere. It would be much better if they were generated (much !) smaller and with more interesting features. -- JonHa97 16:17, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

a In contrast to "natural" caves, ravines often look very similar to each other and often make the surface look ugly by causing huge open cracks everywhere. I think they could have been improved by generating them in more variable sizes and shapes (smaller for example). Also surface ravines should look more like they are affected by rain, erosion etc. so they should be smoother, filled with water or dirt and not as deep and steep as they currently are. -- JonHa97 16:17, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

a Most of the Mobs which deal food (Pigs, Cows, Chickens etc.) do not spawn much on some biomes. (since 1.8 animals do not spawn in an already loaded chunk). This makes dealing with hunger be harder.

undefined While chunks are generated (especially when loading a world), rendering sometimes "misses" some spots and leaves them in a "seethrough" kind (inwisible); often it is necessary to walk near theam or inside them to make them appear. Technically they exist because entities (like animals) can be seen on/in them, walking "in the air". This was only a problem with lighting before (and for many past final versions of the game already also). This behaves the same way but affects terrain this time.
