Crashing/System
Bugs !! 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. 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)

!! ? 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?

! 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)

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)

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)

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 Potatoes and Carrots that have been placed on farmland without a watersource beside it (dirt that have been hoed during rain and therefore is 'fertile') will, when the rain stops and the farmland gets dry, just drop off. This is unlike Wheat that still grows although slowly. - Floedekage

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

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 You can break item frames (and retrieve their contents) in Adventure Mode
 * Item frames are entities. So they aren't actually placed and destroyed but spawned and killed. And spawning and killing are possible actions in adventure mode. --☺ Sven ? ! 18:37, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Using an editor or mod you can set the drop rate for individual item frames to 0 so that the item in them doesn't drop. See Chunk format.  LB ( T 21:53, 25 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)

 * I totally agree with TorchicBlaziken. Creative mode isn't based on reality, and cobwebs slowing the player down is an inconvenience when exploring abandoned mineshafts. This has been a longstanding annoyance and I'd love to see it done away with. --Keithicus420 18:22, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

a When placing Mushroom blocks of a damage value greater than 0, it will revert to 0 upon placing. This used to happen with Monster Eggs, before they were tweaked in 12w17a to prepare them for inclusion in the Creative Mode inventory. This should be changed because the damage values of mushroom blocks are now available using cheats. We should not have to rely on pistons to place these blocks in Creative.

undefined Sometimes when eating food in a stack, you will involuntarily eat another unless you quickly switch to another item. Especially annoying with Golden Apples which can be eaten at any time.TorchicBlaziken 18:21, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * 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)

Annoyances a When in your inventory or chest GUI (or probably any GUI) and there is a map on the wall in an item frame in view, rolling your mouse over an item within the GUI causes the map on the wall to light-up. Tried on SMP only with inventory an chests 24.1.77.15724.1.77.157 a The Item Frame's render distance is pretty small. It'd be nice to increase the 22 block distance to something larger. perhaps 40-50 would be acceptable? --Kizzycocoa 12:38, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

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)

undefined Strongholds can generate without portal rooms. The eye if enders will target a point in the stronghold, but there will be no portal room. In seed NullCode, X:-861 Y:36 Z:2 is the point all the eye of enders point to, but it is a random stronghold hallway, and i have found no portal room. The Stronghold is also incredibly small, it consists of only one hallway with a few side loops. --Acomputerdog 12:40, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It is possible that the portal room is below the hallway in another part of the stronghold. I have experienced weird separations between parts in a stronghold before, with pieces being totally disconnected. You may want to try using the seed in a creative mode, and digging strait down.

a Since the treasure room of Desert Temples has no torch in it, mobs spawn in it and set the trap off. TorchicBlaziken 19:55, 24 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)
