Crashing/System
Bugs

!! My mob farm (egg) throws the items into the nether for safe keeping so they don't de-spawn. When I went through to the nether after about 20 stacks, I started to fall through the world, but not die (like a chunk error on a server). I decided to relog, and ever since I'm receiving a crash error similar to the one shown below. After the error, my world was corrupt as I was receiving this error every time I chose to play that specific Single Player world. undefined --CallumTennant 10:12, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

!! Trying to create a zoomed out map in multiplayer crashes the client, shows dirt wallpaper then "Minecraft has crashed" error message - It occurs in both creative and survival modes - this is reproducible every time. Ocker 01:01, 25 August 2012 (UTC) !! Creating a zoomed out map in multiplayer causes a client-side crash as Ocker outlined above. Crash report posted. Issue confirmed with Mac, Windows 7, Windows XP with both 1.6.x and 1.7.x Java builds. undefinedLordfirefox 11:30, 25 August 2012 (UTC) !!? 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 happened in several snapshot and non-snapshot updates, when the game's played for a fairly long period of time. 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)
 * Not seen so far with this snapshot. Anything else updated except Minecraft ? Yesterday was Microsoft-Patchday and Oracle issued Java 7U5 a few days ago... --Kumasasa 21:29, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I've had this happen before than the 13th. I do not know of any updates other than snapshots that could have caused this issue. --Kizzycocoa 21:57, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Just got this issue again. re-adding to crashes. --Kizzycocoa 12:33, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm pre-sure this is a on-your end problem. I do not have any of these crashes in any way. On a side note, I think this is your java being having problems. try reinstalling? --188.81.160.200 16:04, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

iVilux: Confirmed on multiplayer. !! Unexpected Crashes

The Game... just crashes for me. It can happen anytime, no action in-game seems to trigger the crash. There are 2 sorts. The First type is where an Error Message saying 'Java (R) Binary platform has crashed' and the second where the game just exits with no prompt or warning. It can happen a few seconds into loading a world or after playing for a few minutes. Any ideas?
 * Has happened to me aswell.I removed the [?] because I can confirm. Also started happening since

SP And MP were merged

Crashes.

noticed that sometimes on login to a newly generated SMP world (after editing server.properties) you will spawn in and fall through the void crashing the server, also observed other player seeming to have related symptoms during SMP play with the latest snapshot but did not notice server being affected in this case. Too-DAMN-Much50.53.202.145 01:33, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Added to above.

seems as though editing the properties with LARGEBIOMES in place of default, or changing the world seed causes this issue for the local player (host), using default server.properties file seems to work however as long as neither are changed. for non-local player it honestly seemed pretty random, completely unsure what caused it for the non-local player, unfortunately, restarting server and clients produces no change in results in either case.

!! Occasionally, at least for me, Minecraft crashes without an error report when switching to fullscreen using F11. Running Windows XP, using quad core processor, 4g RAM and 80g left of storage. Video card supports most games to maximum settings without lag. Drivers updated last week.
 * Confirmed, happened since 1.3.2, when in normal play, if you press f11, it will immediately crash the java platform. Windows 7, quad core, 8g RAM. New system with GeForce video card. 98.70.53.133 22:10, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances

a! Walking around the nether seems extremely laggy. More-so than normally. It seems to be smooth for several seconds and then freeze momentarily every 3 or 4 seconds. This will cause interesting lag related issues such as suddenly turning 90 degrees into a lava pool, or being a few seconds too late on hitting that ghast bomb back to him. The nether has always been laggy but now it is un-navigable. It even does it when in an enclosed space (the system doesn't; have to draw anything "outside". There is a ton of stuff I could submit with this... would like to know the info that is requested before I paste a bunch of useless stuff. Kittani1977 21:35, 27 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Confirmed. The lag is nearly always there when running/sprinting through the nether, and it's almost unplayable when flying. It's not related to the hardware: i7 2600, 16GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 580, Samsung SSD 830. Also, I didn't experienced such lag in earlier versions. Anub!s

Fixed/Skipped

Gameplay
Bugs !major bug. when you're playing single player you can read all signs. they work perfectly. but when someone joins your world they see almost every sign blank. the only current way to fix this is for the second player to log out and log in again.--League 08:48, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined Severe duplication bug. To recreate, first log in as a player. Open the game to lan with cheats, and have another player join. Use /gamerule to turn off inventory loss on death. There are Player A and Player B. Have Player B leave the game. Have Player A kill themselves, but don't click respawn. Close out Minecraft. Open it back up, but sign in as Player B. Click respawn. Open game to LAN. Log in as Player B from elsewhere, this will kick the first Player B and force close the LAN world. Log back in as Player A, and click respawn. Open the game to LAN. Have Player B log in, and click respawn. Now Player B has all of the data of Player A, including his Ender Chest and inventory. Not sure if this is replicable in online multiplayer, but I assume it is because of the code merge. May not seem practical, but on an online server it could be easily abused.
 * In my tests this has nothing to to with the death screen or respawning, it is a singleplayer/LAN-only issue because of the way single player and the LAN server work. As far as I can see there is no way to cause this kind of duplication on normal multiplayer servers.  LB ( T 00:01, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined Thunderstorms occur nearly every day in the afternoon in a creative world created in 1.2.5 with cheats enabled. Besides, rain without thunder don't seem to occur at all anymore (unless using "/weather rain"). Missingno 26 18:53, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Could you explain how you used cheats in 1.2.5, wouldn't you have to use a mod like single player commands or similar? 98.70.53.133 22:16, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, the world was created in 1.2.5 but I play it in 12w34b which is a version that do have the "enable cheats" option. When you do so, the old world attempt to adapt to the new version and so cheats are automatically enabled. PS : I've never used any mod. Missingno 26 05:36, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

undefined Shift clicking armor from the survival tab of the creative menu is once again broken. Items disappear. This was fixed in 1.3.2 and may be due to the brief 1.3/1.4 fork. -- Williewillus 20:02, 25 August (CDT)

undefined When Invisible if you go into F5 mode, you will not swing the item in your hand. Also in multiplayer being invisible was weird, in F5 mode i had my friend's movement, when he moved my weapon like was moving.
 * Not a major bug; downgrading. --Keithicus420 19:15, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

! Nether Portals will sometimes sends you to weird locations. I created a new world, made a portal, went through and traveled a few hundred blocks. I wanted to try the new feature where you can send zombie pigmen through the portal, so I made one and it went through no problem. When I got through, however, i ended up inside stone. I was in creative mode, so I didn't suffocate. I then dug around me and looked for the portal and found it 22 blocks directly above my head. The portal placement seemed to be right (it was in a cave), but it was solid rock all the way up to the cave. I went through again and back, and then I ended up right next to the portal as I was supposed to. The zombie pigman rightly ended up in the cave the first time, though. 91.144.213.35 14:23, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined Wearing a pumpkin makes your players head look down as well as an item your holding.

undefined No matter which direction you're facing when entering a Nether portal, the exit portal will reorient you to a particular direction which does not change. I can see how, in some circumstances, this would be advantageous, particularly if it is possible to control this effect but it is annoying to reappear facing a wall or, even worse, being injured by said wall (which also seems to happen now). --Tseotet 21:52, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined If you create a second/third/... portal in the overworld, it will not generate a new portal in the Nether, but always point to the first netherportal. This is very annoying in SMP as the return trip takes you to the first overworld portal—not the portal you came in—which may be kilometers away and in hostile territory. 78.22.172.199 11:32, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Could you tell us coordinates, please, because the game isn't supposed to make a new portal every time if there is one close enough, see full explanation here 98.70.53.133 17:01, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

undefined When you place a map into an item frame it creates a "player" marker that can be seen on all maps (very useful) but I've experienced the marker remaining even after you take down the framed map and/or place the same map in another frame at a new location --BlyssfulAbyss 09:55, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Also shortly after the white marker displaying my current location ceased displaying on both the framed and held map --BlyssfulAbyss 10:12, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined Fires created by lighting seem to be accompanied by air block on fire, which create light and fire noises but do not visibly burn unless a block is placed beside them. This invisible fire can also cause you to have a flaming animation when near it, but it doesn't hurt you. The fire will not go out unless the flaming air block is covered. Pareidolon 04:46, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined Logging out and logging back in while falling off a cliff will only make you take the fall damage from the height you logged back in from. It is extremely annoying with fall traps on PvP servers.

! Sometimes when closing a chest (with the inventory key or Esc), the inventory changes won't be saved and I have to go back to the chest to make the changes, sometimes even 10 times. --Galaxy_2Alex (Talk)

Annoyances a!Thunderstorms can cause massive chaos, due to fire spread. on my server, where it's hard, for the mob difficulty. we lost all 3 of our jungle houses, all separated a fair ways (>80 blocks), due to lightning. perhaps split the fire spreading into a new gamerule? I've had to stop fire ticking completely, causing lots of thunder-made fire spots on the landscape. --Kizzycocoa 13:27, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I had the same issue with a surface lava lake. Both a jungle and a forest have been completely annihilated in a few minutes of extreme lags that prevented me to do anything. In my own opinion, this new feature need some rework. PS : even on Easy difficulty, it's nearly impossible to stop a forest fire. Missingno 26 17:49, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Just did some tests. Peaceful fire won't spread very far or fast, Easy and above is insane and overly destructive.  I found lava pools that wiped out he forests and jundles they spawned in, a single flnt and steel hit in a jungle wiped out everything in about 15 minutes in the far view area. because of the tendancy for surface lava pols to geneate in forests I imagine any generated world won't have any forests in them withina few hours of playing with those chunks loaded. Storms on the other hand seemed to inhibit the growth of forest fires, even on hard mode. Kittani1977 03:14, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It happened to me one more time in a newly generated world in 12w34b : A jungle went up in flames in my first day while I was forcing the loading of these rebellious chunks that don't want to load until you go inside them. Seriously, I miss the old, effective singleplayer ... Missingno 26 07:24, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I think that fire should, like explosions, be based on difficulty. I've experienced these problems as well, on a fresh generated world i spawned in a jungle, near a lava lake. Sorry i forgot to get the seed, i was playing on hardcore and i got caught in some fire, and as a result failed to make it into the water pool next to the lava. Now being on hardcore i can imagine that it would spread fast, but on an easy world? No.

a!It seems like there is a time lag between the visual position of mobs and their actual position (players included). This makes melee battle hazardous and frustrating as you often get hit while it's visually illogical and it's also hard to hit mobs. This annoyance lasts since SSP and SMP merged, in version 1.3. Prior to this release, I had never suffered from any mob-related lags. Missingno 26 18:16, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

athe Shift-Click bug is still present in Minecraft. At random points, the game decided to act as if shift is held down, in relation to material transfers. crafting cannot be done at all, and basic inventory admining is exceedingly hard to do. solved by closing the launcher itself. doesn't get solved by leaving the MC game, then re-entering. This bug has been present for ages, back to the days of 1.0.0 --Kizzycocoa 17:41, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * This is NOT a glitch but this is actually a feature. You can activate it by pressing both SHIFT keys at once and deactive by pressing RSHIFT. 1.171.114.97 4:33, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I have not, at any point, done both shifts together. it cannot be a feature. --Kizzycocoa 17:07, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * confirmed that is a solution, but this issue happens randomly for me. I never even touch the right shift - I'm left handed. --Kizzycocoa 13:27, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds like the windows sticky-keys "feature". Pressing left-shift multiple times rapidly can turn it on, which is very annoying. 173.183.158.32 02:17, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

a In the new snapshot mobs can travel in the portal but they stay still in the same position
 * Downgraded to annoyance. This is due to the fact that only one dimension is loaded and being simulated at once. 91.144.213.35 14:39, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

a When you are invisible in minecraft villagers still see you and still stare at you.

a Travelling through nether portals often causes the player to become stuck in a wall, provided one side of the portal is blocked off. In rarer cases, travelling through has caused the player to fall through the floor. Additionally, upon entering/leaving the nether, the player is no longer provided with the 'nether portal immunity', and if they fail to move, will be sent back to the dimension they came from. (Excuse my poor sentence structuring, I'm a tad braindead at the moment.) --Weena 18:38, 25 August (AEST)

a Likely intentional, but not intuitive: Entities that are placed in The End Monument (i.e., the exit portal in The End) loop to the entry point of The End. It would perhaps make more sense for entities to instead go to spawn (since entities do not have a bed). --66.133.216.4 07:27, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Blocks
Bugs

undefinedsp Blocks destroyed more than 64 blocks away from the player by TNT still appear to be there. They can be walked on and interacted with but will disappear with a block update or reload of world/chunk. This could be an iussue for player that like to do demolitions for building caves. If it happens to affect multiplayer (not tested) it could make it difficult for admins to discover griefing as well as be used to kill other players with block update disappearing floors and such. EDIT: Here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZWi1x2aSFk [Edited by CallumTennant] Kittani1977 01:29, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

! Timing on NOT gates (redstone torches) seems to be broken. I would expect them to act as a one tick inverting repeater but they seem to require a three tick pulse to activate and then only emit a two tick pulse. This effects any circuit that depends on timing, pulse length, or short pulses. A full explanation of the problem can be found here: Video --Innovate.Invent 07:41, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined When walking on ice and facing slightly to the left or right of any axis (e.g. 100 degrees instead of 90 degrees) you're not actually walking straight, rather you're almost following the axis. In the example of facing the direction of 100 degrees you're walking in the direction of about 91 degrees. It is clearly vissible in that you can see the crosshair sliding left/right on the landscape. EDIT: Interestingly, if you start on a block that is not ice it works just fine. 91.144.213.35 15:41, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined Normal-sized mushrooms can't be planted outside at night outside of Mycelium. This is because the skylight level is always 15, even at night, and the reason for this is so crops and flowers don't uproot themselves every night. Perhaps there could be a workaround for this. It is intentional that they're not supposed to be planted outside in the daytime, but they don't even work at night. TorchicBlaziken 20:39, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't you think this brings back the use of mushroom farms? Instead of insta-bonemeal giant mushrooms without having to find a mushroom island. --Shikamaru123 02:21, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Trivial workaround: dig a 1x2 hole (or make a 1x2 shelter), block yourself into it (covering the roof over is the important bit) and plant a mushroom. Then dig your way out and quickly apply bonemeal before the mushroom pops out again. Basically instead of being able to plant a giant mushroom in the open in under a second, it now takes a few seconds to do. I hardly think this is a great hardship. Given the workaround, I'd suggest downgrading to annoyance.--82.69.54.207 20:23, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I had half a wall disappear on my barn, it was replaced with the part of the mountain I cleared way to flatten the area, it also left a big hole and my sheep ran away (Where's Lil' Bo Peep when you need her...) In a different space-time, I had part of a tunnel system and half my farm land replaced with what looked like what I cleared when prepping the area. I just had to rebuild what was changed.  I think the game forgot what was there so it redrew that chunk fresh using the seed. think this is more than a minor issue.  Buzzaro 07:54, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

undefined Also, buckets are not reliable. I think that it has something to do with the work on the lighting code. Whatever they're doing now makes the blocks blink sometimes right after you grab them, so sometimes the bucket doesn't pick up the block properly.

 * Are you saying it skips the animation? --Moxxy 06:13, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * That does sound to me like a better way of putting it, and matches well with what I see. Quickly switching to another item is my workaround too, but sometimes I'm not quick enough. --82.69.54.207 22:47, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The animation doesn't player (because you're not holding the mouse down) but the sound plays and the server forces you to eat it. This often happens when you release the mouse button after eating with an odd timing and the server didn't notice you released the mouse.  LB ( T 23:09, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It is also not directly a lag-related issue. In 1.3.2, I ate two grilled porkchops when I clearly did NOT hold down the right-click button, and has also happened at least twice, proving quite annoying when conserving food. I believe I was on LAN, but I don't think that factor matters. There may have been a super-quick lag spike that caused this, but it is too insignificant to be noticed. --Wormy14 19:44, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I think this is a symptom of an issue not directly related to eating food - I have also seen something similar occur when placing blocks (right click once, two blocks are placed) and when digging with a high-efficiency tool (left click once, two blocks are dug out). In all cases, the effect is intermittent; I haven't found a way to reproduce it reliably. --Exasperation 19:28, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

 * The double-block place is only caused by client-side lag, and the double-mine is only caused by you holding the mouse for more than one tick. Mouse state is only updated every frame, rather than every tick.  LB ( T 21:57, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined If a Button is placed on a solid block, then a Item Frame is placed behind it, then any block placed inside of the Item Frame, the block goes through the Button (unless it's a flat item), making it so you can't push it. Also occurred in 12w34a. jozzamay 00:27, 25 August 2012 (CET)

 * He is right, item frames and paintings are entities like minecarts or boats because they have no AI nor is any needed for them.

a The new cobblestone wall blocks, like fences, allow you to walk into the edge of the block, standing on the block below them. The corner block shows the block below it but does not allow you to walk into that corner. The graphic shows the block below it but you cant stand on it. Thus if you have a wall on a row of solid blocks, you can walk along the edge of the solid blocks until you get to a corner, you cannot then turn and follow along the edge as you cant stand on the corner block and thus fall off.

World Generator
Bugs 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)
 * I think this is because strongholds generate before ravines so when the ravine generates it overwrites the stronghold blocks with air.
 * I still find this issue annoying, regardless of any intention. NetherrackCreeper (talk|contributions) 22:33, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances a The world generator has always generated, and continues to generate, floating water blocks and floating sand, it is very annoying when you accidentally place a block near and flood you whole mine. It is very strange to see floating blocks and sand and fall down in the middle of a desert, ride a boat straight into a cave full of creepers. We know that features are generated after but the world must be updated again after generation.Minecraft5025 15:19, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I'd say this is a major annoyance (but I'm not one to judge). Not only does it set off the trap - the multiple TNT will destroy all evidence of the treasure and there's nothing you can do about it. If the guys at Mojang want there to be a chance of you not getting the loot, I'd much rather have the world simulate the explosion on generation for some of the pyramids - that way I'll know I'm not wasting time on the surface if there's a pyramid near me. It'd be more mystical, too, because it'll look like someone came down there a long time ago and set off the trap :) 91.144.213.35 21:33, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Skeletons seem to be more rebellious than zombies. 91.144.213.35 23:33, 24 August 2012 (UTC) In fact, randomly and rarely, a zombie or a skeleton will spawn with the ability to pick up items. If a zombie or a skeleton spawn with one or more piece(s) of equipment, it would have this ability for sure. They pick up an item only if this item give them an advantage (for example : a disarmed zombie would pick up a wooden sword while a zombie carrying a diamond sword wouldn't, which means Skeletons would only pick up armors and swords.) I've also faced several times a strange case I can't explain in which an helmet disappeared from the head of an undead with no reason.

 * Ok. I posted this because twice at my world's nether fortress while killing blazes I heard a ghast firing fireballs and them exploding nearby so I went back into the fortress (I was at a blaze spawner) and it stopped. I went back to the spawner and a ghast fired a fireball again and it made a hole through a netherrack wall on the other side of the cavern the spawner was in and there were no openings that the ghast could see through before the hole was made. The same thing happened with another ghast later after that (I killed the ghast that made the hole and filled the hole with netherrack). McLaren_231 (MC Username) 17:45 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * My 1.3.2 server had this issue, but only with one specific ghast. It was tunneling through netherrack to try and reach a certain player, and persisted after he moved away then came back, and after he went through the portal a few times. Eventually I guess it gave up and floated off when he stopped coming into range for a while. --70.39.176.52 13:33, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

undefined Let's say a villager is trading one emerald for three glowstones. Now if we put a whole stack of emerald in and shift click the glowstones we will get almost three stacks of glowstone but once you exit the trade menu 50 some emeralds are thrown down. If you open a chest then the extra glowstones/whatever disappears but if you use/place/throw on the ground and take it back then you will still have it.
 * This is not a bug, despite the seemingly confusing behaviour. This is a new functional aspect of trading to prevent the abuse of certain trades; after expiring the permitted number of trades, even without closing the GUI, the trade will become impossible to perform. This may appear buggy when performing your trades with shift-clicks, as your inventory will display as if the trade had been a success, but will revert once 'updated'. --Weena 05:43, 3 September 2012 (AEST)

undefined sometimes when a zombie or skeleton drop an item after they die they will still pick it up not giving you the item.

undefined Passive mobs being attracted to light means at night they're also attracted to forest fires. This is a particularly dumb part of the current passive mob AI. Being attracted to sunlight is fine, but I'd suggest making other light types repel them somewhat. That way supposedly 'wild' mobs would tend to be driven away from light, civilisation, fire and lava and their behaviour would be a lot more credible. --82.69.54.207 20:57, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Instead, the minecart crashes into the animal and the minecart is pushed back. It doesn't deal any damage to the animal. The mobs should avoid the rails and when a minecart crashes into the mob, it should deal some damage to the mob. It's very annoying, when a player travels by minecart for a long time and then some animal does that, it makes the player return back! A similar bug with minecart is that, when a minecart falls onto a player: The minecart is on the player's head and the minecart doesn't deal any damage to the player.--90.178.255.155 11:40, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

a Passive mobs bark, bleat, mew, moo, cluck or oink far, far, far too often. Even just a few mobs make a racket and when there's lots nearby it's like an aural version of the Chinese water torture. They never shut up! Not even at night when they should be asleep, or when they've been told to sit, which is really annoying when you have cats or dogs. Their noise frequency needs to be drastically reduced. I'd suggest a factor of ten. The hostiles are almost as bad - just try spending a few hours within earshot of a few dozen slimes - but at least they despawn. And if you turn the sound down you risk missing noises you do need to hear. Flagged as non-major for now, but for quite a lot of players mob noise is a major annoyance.--82.69.54.207 20:44, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
