Gameplay
Bugs !Lingering in a Dungeon with an active Spawner (i.e. unlit by torches) the arrows of false-spawned Skeletons are fired at, and inflict damage on, the player. Zingrook 01:24, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * 404 on "false-spawned", can you please explain or provide a link to an explanation? -- Featherwinglove 10:32, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Happened to me yesterday while playing with slightly earlier snapshots (Both 12w30c and 12w30e I can confirm this with.) All instances were SSP on Peaceful. The spawner fires an arrow roughly from the same height as spawner it's self, rather than where a skeleton would normally be firing. (it appeared that way anyway.) No skeleton model appeared in any of these instances, though the spawner did spin faster, and generate fire particles as if it were attempting to spawn one. The arrows seem to be fired during the tick where the skeleton would normally spawn. Arrow could not be collected after firing. (For me atleast.) --184.52.125.240 12:50, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

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.

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)
 * I haven't suffocated myself on it yet, but I'm having planks double place so consistently that I am wearing out axes removing them. I just had eleven double places in a row in a building interior that didn't have a lot to render. -- Featherwinglove 11:04, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

I know I planted it because it was in a taiga area I had basically clear cut and replanted, and if this were one of the original trees, I certainly would have noticed it before.

a Able to place string on air above blocks with string placed. Deathmarine 17:43, 26 July 2012
 * Intended and I don't see why this has to go. -- Mustek 10:25, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Dinnerbone (I think) has stated that one difference between tripwire and pressureplates is that tripwires can float. I would be disappointed if they took this away, as it's one of the biggest points to using them, and I have plenty of contraptions that rely on floating tripwire. --WolfieMario 12:03, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I would like this mechanic to stay aswell, but with one modification: Rather than having to "stack" string on top of it's self to make lines, it would be far easier, and all around smarter to allow "stringing" directly horizontally from the tripwire hook it's self. This would allow quicker builds, as well as cleaner setup in general, plus it would allow you to build tripwire receivers across ravines. Why you would need to I have no idea, but I am sure there is a use, possibly involving TNT Cannons/Mob Launchers, some sort of "accuracy challenge." --184.52.125.240 13:24, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it would make more sense to string directly onto a hook, and I'd really like that. Of course, string should still also be placeable against other string, to make stringing across gaps actually possible. I suppose placing string vertically on other strings isn't necessary, but I don't see any problem with leaving that in as well. --WolfieMario 14:35, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

a Mushroom blocks can't be harvested or placed properly, reverting to damage/data value 0, a block which appears to use the mushroom pore texture on all six sides. This makes it impossible to use the red, brown, and white mushroom block textures in creations without using pistons to push blocks around. It is also inconsistent with the expected behavior of silk touch: if silk touch is capable of harvesting a block, it should not transform it upon harvesting. Transforming a block upon its placement (which happens when placing mushroom blocks of any damage value, obtained through cheats available in vanilla) is also completely illogical and a roadblock to making things from the mushroom blocks. Perhaps mushroom blocks could be made properly harvestable as "Red/Brown Mushroom Top", "Red/Brown Mushroom Edge", "Red/Brown Mushroom Corner", and "Red/Brown Mushroom Stem", where the edge and corner blocks would be placed in a directional manner similar to pumpkins (upside-down mushroom blocks would not be available, as this would require splitting the current two mushroom block data values into multiple). --WolfieMario 13:44, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I like fix you suggested. Totally support. 93.106.164.34 13:38, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

 * My dogs and cats also unexpectedly teleport into fire and lava, killing off half of my pets. ~Cm283 17:31, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Interestingly, for me, I keep cats in two places, and only the cat from one place teleports to me when the chunk is reloaded-- the other cat stays put. Specifically, I keep one cat in my house, which teleports to me, and another in a building I built for an enchantment table. The only difference I can think of is that the cat that doesn't teleport to me is sitting on a bookcase, though the two buildings are in separate but neighboring chunks. It was this same way in 1.2.5. --Pteprocks 16:39, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined If you are killing a wolf with 1 hit the wolfes around won't be angry or attack the player. If you hit a wolf 1 time without killing it the wolves close will attack. This won't happen with zombie pigmans. --Swekob 17:19, 26 July, 2012 (Swedish time)
 * Confirmed. --Nathan2055 17:35, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined If you attack / get attacked by a player, then tame a wolf some time later (I took about 2-3 minutes, but it may vary), the wolf will target the player, even though it was a while since you attacked / got attacked by the player and you was far away from the wolf when it happened. --NeonJ 18:55, 26 July 2012 (GMT)

undefined When Skeletons/Zombies are spawned using eggs on half slabs they will not burn in sunlight until they leave/jump off the half slab (tested with all half slabs) To reproduce: Build a "container" box to keep the mobs inside, no roof, during the day, layer the floor with half slabs, use eggs to spawn them pointing the egg at the half slabs before you click. Note that if you point the egg at the wall the mobs will light on fire as they didn't touch the half slab. --wyndkin 2:48, 27 July 2012 (PDT)

undefined Thunderstorms don't make the sky go dark making it difficult to determine between rainy weather and thunderstorm. Tested from two different computers running Windows in both SP and MP, one which had a fresh install of MC in case of mod interference. Started up a new map and typed in /toggledownfall where it immediately starts a thunderstorm.

Sounds
Bugs

!mpFootstep sounds and probably some other sounds like splashing into water, eating, or placing blocks are delayed depending on the player's ping(server-sided) which is really annoying, This continued through the recent snapshots too, Please fix.

undefined The server does not display a "user tried server command: cmd" message when a non-op user enters a command that is invalid or ops-only. This breaks server wrappers that depend on this as a mechanism for allowing non-op players to issue custom commands. Classified as a bug because it's a regression in a long-standing existing feature. --Warr1024 16:30, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I noticed that yesterday. Testing in pre-release. --Nathan2055 16:55, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The display in the client ("Unknown command. Type /help for a command list.") is fixed. Can someone test the server display? Thanks, Nathan2055 17:26, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This bug was not related to the "Unknown command" display in console; I have been following this bug since 12w25a and was never aware of that having been an issue. The problem is that when an in-game non-op player tries a command like "/custom", no message whatsoever displays on the console, which is a regression from v1.2 and earlier behavior. --Warr1024 17:29, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined "seed" command issued to the server console (i.e. not as a player) does not work; it says "You must specify which player you wish to perform this action on." Unless an explicit seed was specified in the server.properties file, a server administrator cannot find out the seed to his/her own world without logging into the game, or using an NBT tool. --Warr1024 19:17, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Issuing the command "seed Player" when player "Player" is logged into the server will also produce the same error message, instead of either displaying the seed, or telling Player the seed, contrary to what the error message implies. --Warr1024 19:32, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
