Then the windows message appears java se binary don't react anymore (I think so, because my message is in german). This happens also in a new fresh installation of minecraft 1.2.5 and in all snapshots later. My system is Win 7 64 bit with the newest oracle java sdk 7u5 64 bit (not updated, new installed) and a fresh minecraft 1.2.5 installation. I have tested all java 64 bit versions since 7. Please don't write that it work for you, because I heard this before. I don't understand why this happens on my computer, I have a new Dell XPS Laptop and all programs fresh installed. --reptile311

!!/? Potential odd, but very serious crash. crashes ALL keyboard/mouse input, rendering the entire laptop/PC unplayable. game continues, while any buttons pressed remain pressed. Has only happened to me while playing Minecraft. Has only happened in a recent snapshot. I very rarely go in Singleplayer, so may or may not be multiplayer exclusive. while extremely serious, is fairly uncommon. I run a high-end Alienware laptop, so memory consumption is not a factor in my opinion. Can any other users confirm this is a Minecraft bug? --Kizzycocoa 21:08, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

a The enchantments with "Protection" in the name besides Protection don't provide more protection to a specific thing than Protection does, making those enchantments completely outclassed by Protection.

a The player cannot swim out of downward flowing water while drowning. The damage taken produces a small amount of knockback, which in combination with the flow, keeps the player from swimming out of the water. --CaMoreno3 15:16, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is different from the behavior in 12w23b, as the player was unable to swim out of water (while drowning, regardless of flow) or lava at all. The player can now swim out of lava regardless of flow. The change leads me to believe that this annoyance has been addressed. Is the inability to escape downward flowing water intentional? --CaMoreno3 15:16, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Bugs

 * Lever
 * Wooden Pressure Plate
 * Stone Pressure Plate
 * Wooden Door
 * Iron Door
 * Redstone
 * Redstone Repeater
 * Rail
 * Powered Rail
 * Detector Rail
 * String (floats above upper slabs or stair blocks when placed)
 * Torches (including redstone torches) are placeable on stairs but not slabs, which is needlessly inconsistent.


 * That is intended, stairs and slabs are non opaque blocks, so you cannot put blocks which are dependent on a solid block. This should be a minor annoyance.EmanP 18:19, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I disagree completely. This seems like more of an oversight than intention. Why are double slab blocks solid while Upper slabs and upside-down stairs are not? Both of these blocks are flush with all other blocks and should have the ability to have these items placed on them. The only reason they are transparent is for lighting, and even still lighting is buggy with them. This needs to be fixed for the sake of consistency. --CaMoreno3 18:28, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

 * just the fact that you know a solution to this problem doesn't mean it's not a bug. It should be fixed. but anyway. thanks for your temporary suggestion. --League 20:06, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * In my eyes that is absolutely intended to prevent publishing the seed of non-cheat worlds. Think of upcoming adventure worlds where the seed should be kept more or less secret to prevent cheating. As long as we don't have a clear statement of the developers if that is intended, it is just an annoyance, not a bug. --Kumasasa 20:19, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * You're looking at a very, very specific case, and assuming that Mojang chose it to take precedence over regular people who may not know that cheats on or off affects the seed display. Another possibility is someone doesn't think on world creation they wanted a fresh world or to share the world, but changed their mind later. Additionally, a save's seed is findable with resources such as the slime finder, making it trivial to find out a "secret" seed. Also, we can say something's a bug without developer statements.
