= Bugs = Note: An increase in experience when jumping and the lack of repeated jumps while holding the jump button ARE NOT BUGS. Please stop reporting these.

Biomes

 * (?) A change in a Biome to a Swamp has an immediate change in grass, tree, vine, and water colors unlike normal Biome borders.

Crashing

 * For some players, creating a new map will stop the process and the game will say "Switching Level", and shortly after closes Minecraft.
 * For some players, generating new chunks in a pre-1.9 world will crash and immediately close the game, leaving no saved data.

Creative mode

 * The Gold Nugget is unlabeled in the creative mode inventory, which is located to the right of the Ghast Tear.
 * Mycelium and Lily Pads are not shown in the creative mode inventory.
 * Water source block doesn't disappears when right-clicking it with a full water bucket.

Files

 * For new maps, the MB size in the world file under the Singleplayer menu will not change, it will stay at 0 MB. For existing worlds, the size in MB will not change when exploring new areas.

Gameplay

 * After obtaining the Blaze Rod, one can attack enemies from any distance, even if Blaze Rod is not equipped (in hand) or in inventory.
 * As with 1.8, NPC villages will still generate gravel pathways that block doors to houses.
 * If an NPC or Snow Golem is behind a block, but would be "under" your cursor if the block weren't there, the game thinks you've targeted the mob, and ignores the block(s). You can't place blocks when your cursor is in this spot, and if you try to destroy the block between the NPC/snow golem and you,  you will damage the mob.

Lighting

 * Glowstone does not self-illuminate properly; i.e. a block of glowstone encased in glass appears nearly black.
 * Stone brick stairs have the same lighting glitch as in 1.8, unlike the other types of stairs; the remaining quadrant of space in the block appears solid black (or nearly).

Memory/CPU General
Random absent water blocks in mid ocean/sea/lake.
 * Excessive lag on new or existing worlds, even if new chunks are not being created and all graphical settings are set to Fast/Off. The lag is much worse on single-core CPUs, possibly due to the threading of chunk saving/loading. Possible memory leak.

Sound

 * Chests will not produce any sound when opening or closing.
 * Endermen and Silverfish do not produce any sounds.
