Crashing/System
Bugs !! After closing and re-opening a world, Minecraft went to the dirt background and subsequently crashed. I've tried to reproduce but it doesn't seem to occur again undefined
 * I had a similar crash(during entering a server)--Fritzn undefined
 * I had a similar issue in w30c with creating a new world, however I can't repro it now:
 * undefined --Nathan2055 19:20, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined I was doing a stress-test with 3000 XP orb entities (1 frame/5 seconds), and after they got insta-del by a cactus the framerate instantly topped back to 40 (the limit) but the game took 5 seconds to speed back up from a slow-motion sort of speed. During this time (at smooth framerate) the player moved very slowly, with low gravity, and the rest of the game world seemed to fast-forward (mobs, item decay, time of day).
 * How to reproduce: Build a glass cabin. Get Instant Health II splash potions, Zombie egg and Cactus. Remember to build it on sand. Next, get a macro-clicker because you'll need about 400 zombies, don't go any further risking a crash. Then, close the cabin up and kill them with the potion: this will prevent the orbs from coming to you as they spawn. Quickly collect the drops from inside the box, leaving the xp confined. Next, spawn a zombie beside you on the outside. Notice that the lag from the thousands of orbs is extreme with FPS nearing zero. Watch this zombie for two or three minutes, then break the glass and replace it with cactus. The XP orbs will be deleted by the cactus, then the zombie you just placed will speed up crazily and you will have moon jump for ~5 seconds.
 * Reproduced in 30e. --Steve G. Wood 14:41, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't believe this is classifiable as a bug, as it is a scenario that can't be experienced in normal gameplay. Any game could crash under such a scenario. --Nathan2055 19:11, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a major bug, since the speed goes so out of whack. While it cant be experienced in normal gameplay, anyone with a big enough mob farm meeting the circumstances could experience this ~Jamesoleruster

? Minecraft will not save world progress when reloading a world in some computers (such system include: 1.75 GB of RAM, 32-bit, 2.71 GHz, Windows XP SP3, Java 1.6). Example on a newly generated world: http://imgur.com/a/IodIc#0 --Manuelschi 14:52, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Game crashes to desktop with no stack trace printed 100% of all single player games. World is unsaved when returning. Affected versions are all week 13 snapshots since b (I didn't try a or the other weekly ones, 1.2.5 is ok). Eliminated dropbox stored saves, UAC, and Java environment as the cause.

Bugs

! Traveling to the Nether still frequently drops the player out of the world, resulting in death and loss of items/xp. A first trip to the Nether usually functions normally, but repeat trips often result in said bug. 70.179.147.135 09:51, 25 July 2012 (UTC) [sorry, forgot to sign]
 * I have two portal in overworld that go to same portal in the nether. When I enter the nether through second portal and return, I fall out of the world. Maybe the chunk with primary portal is not loaded properly. If I save the game in nether, it works ok. 212.226.57.220 14:51, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * When this happens, you can quickly save&exit and reload. This often saves you from dying.
 * I tested in a superflat world. I created a portal, went through, built another portal next to it, and went through. No issues. --Nathan2055 19:28, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

! The builtin "speedhack" detection breaks elevators and other legitimate piston contraptions that transport a player "too fast". It manifests itself as getting stuck in the device due to the movement, caused by the piston pushing the player, being denied by the server. This used to be an issue on MP only, but now that the client is effectively a server as well, it affects SP too. --Ntt 13:13, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

! After his death his spawn point changes, precluding the gameplay of some custom maps, and compass does not point to their spawn point. NOTE: also the definition Without the bed, the bed works, the problem is with the natural spawning
 * I believe you mean that the spawn is changed slightly sometimes upon death? I've noticed this, and I believe the cause involves water in the spawn area. --Nathan2055 19:31, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I had several problems with compasses not pointing in the right diriction. Every time I log on my compass points in a different direction. One of the times I logged on it accted like I was in the Nether. Also the maps will occasionaly disapear from your invintory upon log off. Quite annoying. --Osiris08 of mcworldmap.com

a! After exiting boats, they tend to disapear and move the player over 3 to 5 blocks. Also if you are still in a boat when you save and exit, when you return you will be ejected from the boat and end up several blocks below water level.--Osiris08 of mcworldmap.com

a Time stops when the ESC key is pressed, unless you start a LAN game, then time continues normally while the game is paused. Time does not stop when the inventory key is pressed.
 * I like time to stop while I've got the game paused. --Mokujin1970 22:23, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Time isn't meant to stop when the inventory is up, and wont stop when paused in LAN because like multiplayer, there's the possibility of other players joining. Not a bug. --SpokeHD 22:48, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

acr When flying at high altitude, or with a large drop below you, the double tap sometimes no longer lets the player fall, forcing you to either switch to survival mode to get to ground level or very slowly descend with shift. I know this is due to lag but is there some way to get around it? --SpokeHD 15:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Testing this now. --Nathan2055 19:28, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I've found its possible to avoid this by not looking down at the ground as you double tap. It starts for me at around y: 145, although I expect its related to lag so would be different for different specs. --SpokeHD 19:50, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Unable to repro at y=127, will reattempt at y=145. --Nathan2055 20:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

amp We started a server and decided we didn't want any user to be OP'd because we want pure survival, but because of spawn protection no one can edit the spawn area. I'd just like if you could add a toggle to turn off spawn protection in server.properties. --Pizza2004 17:14, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

amp When teleporting to the nether the server lags. A noticeable spike on the server client appears also. Screenshot: [] --derksthename

?Tripwire hooks makes randomly block updates. It can be seen when tripwire hooks are connected to blocks that BUD or TBUD check. I connected about nine tripwire hooks to TBUD and it triggered quite often. Screenshots of that "one bit random generator": Screenshot 1 Screenshot 2 Screenshot 3 Tripwire hooks are not connected to anything and there is no other tripwire hooks.
 * Could you explain what the problem is in more detail? Downgraded until then. --Nathan2055 20:28, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * TBUD should change its state in a case, for example when you add tripwire to that hook or when you add another hook in front of them. Not without any reason. BUD and TBUD see updates without any updates only cause tripwire hook is connected to it. Example: when you have a mashine that is controlled by tripwire and block updates it toggle or work without a reason (without block update nor stepping on tripwire). (sorry for my english)

?Redstone torches have a weird timing. See http://youtube.com/watch?v=1MFAt0yET8w --Thabubble 18:29, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Please define weird. Everything looks fine to me. --Nathan2055 20:28, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * They both have a similar setup, one have 2 torches, the other have a 2 tic delay on a repeater, the timing are exactly the same. Yet the one with torches doesn't even get past pushing the first block. If you watch carefully you can actually see the second piston start to extend just when the other piston is almost retracted, yet when they hit it's not fully retracted and it fails not pulling it along the track. If all delays between the two are identical, shouldn't they both finish at the same time? It seems like it retracts sligthly slower than when extending when using redstone torches in that manner, so I made the conclusion it was due to the redstone torches. The same behavior can be seen north, west, east and south. --Thabubble 23:45, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I realized now that the one with torches take 1 tick longer than the one without, but that still doesn't explain the messed up timings. --Thabubble 23:55, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

?When breaking the new rotated wood they are placed in your inventory rotated and always saying Oak Wood, though they have the correct texture. This appears to be purely aesthetics. see screenshot --Mag0ca 11:05, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
