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. Video Zingrook 20:00, 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)

Annoyances a! With Single/Multi-Player Mode Merged, Spawning now works like it does in Multi-Player for Single Player maps. This breaks the Spawn points in my maps, and it will break the spawn points in any other user made map, unless they set the player spawn with a bed (not always possible - depending on the map type) or start the player in a 20x20 room. It would be nice to have a way to control the spawn point, maybe in creative, for map makers. --Brandonn

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.

 * 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)

Mobs/NPCs/Animals
Bugs ! When a chunk is unloaded and reloaded during gameplay with seated wolves and cats, they will teleport to the player regardless. The distance seems to be between 128 and 144 blocks away. This bug has at least existed since 1.2.5 and has not changed. ~Cm283 00:31, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I see this bug whenever I get within loading distance of my house. My dog and cat both teleport to me inside my underground tunnel. My cat died because it teleported into lava. 69.113.144.41 13:15, 27 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)

Annoyances a! Spiders suffocate when spawned from a dispenser.
 * From a dispenser? What? 78.105.153.179 17:05, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I think he means that when you use a dispenser to spawn the original spiders (NOT tested with cave spiders) from their spawn egg, that the spider created, even against the side of a glass block, will take damage (suffocate, as the OP put it) when they are created with their model partly inside the glass block. This is due to their model exceeding a one block size, and the spawn egg placement code not accounting for the spider's size when placing it. This is really annoying since it's very hard to make test builds of mob systems using spider spawn eggs in Creative mode, or to use spiders in dispenser setups when making custom maps for this reason.BrickVoid 21:17, 27 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)
