Crashing/System
Bugs

! On rare cases while playing LAN, minecraft can crash with the following error: undefined
 * Huh, another null pointer exception. Try having other people with possibly stronger computers try this and see if they crash, i for one have not. Trigger hurt 14:09, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Null Pointer Exceptions have nothing to do with computing power, it could be Nasa's Apollo 11 computer or Nasa's biggest supercomputer today, it would crash either way. It is to do with trying to perform an action on an object which has not yet been initialised.

! Occasionally, Minecraft will just close spontaneously leaving no crash report. It's happened to me 3 times now, twice while standing still and once after killing an Enderman.

! Constant crashing with movement, standing/jumping/looking around doesn't trigger the event. undefined
 * Try upgrading to Java 7 --78.210.48.117 12:22, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

! Extremely high CPU usage in this snapshot only. An average of 50% CPU was being used by Java when Minecraft was open, minimized and paused. Quad-core i3-2100 processor.

! When I start a mc server (exe or jar) on my computer and connect with the client on my computer offline (no internet connection), the connection with localhost or 127.0.0.1 is very bad (only one bar). If I'm in the internet and connect to the server on my computer over localhost, the connection is good (all bars). This is since the lan connection is in the game. I don't know if this is the right section, but I thought it was a system thing. I also think this is an error, because the connection between the server and client on a computer should be 100%.

!!Running the 12w37a, 12w38a, and the 12w38b server (either the exe and the jar) on a Windows 7 computer crashes. Sometimes it generates a crash report, and some times it doesn't. Downgrading to 12w36a does not crash. Using same map from 12w36a and using a new random map makes no difference.

undefined Tnt doesn't prime if a powered block is placed beside it. It will prime however if redstone dust is placed or removed near it (powered or unpowered). Best way to test this is to place a redstone torch with a repeater pointing to a block (say stone). Now remove the stone, and place TNT beside where the stone would have been. Put back the stone, and you see the TNT doesn't explode (if you remove and replace the TNT, it will explode). If you do this in the opposite order (place stone then TNT), it will explode. Now try placing redstone dust either beside the tnt or on a block beside the tnt. The dust won't power, but will cause the tnt to prime. Another example is to make a vertical column. Place a redstone torch on the ground, then a block above it. Destroy the redstone torch and put a TNT above the block. Now destroy the block, and put your redstone torch back. Now put the block back. In this sequence, the TNT will not prime. Before putting the final block, you can also surround your tnt with a ring of solid blocks (say stone). Put redstone dust on these blocks, and then put the final block under the tnt. The tnt will not explode, but if you break any of the unpowered redstone dust that is on the blocks beside the tnt, the tnt will explode. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.145.15.114 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 06:49, 21 September 2012 (UTC).

undefined ssp Boats float in midair above the water and/or sink below the water after placing a boat in the water, saving the map, opening the map, and then touching the boat. To reproduce: 1) Place boat in water; 2) Save the map; 3) Open up the same map; 4) You will see the boat floating in midair just above the water; 5) Nudge the boat slightly by going adjacent to it and it will drop into the water; 6) After dropping into the water, it will actually start to fill with water and sink slowly; 7) Go next to it and the boat will float to the top once again; 8) After that, it may start to sink again; 9) This occurs when placed in water in an enclosed dock, and sometimes in open water. --Eugeniusz 14:55, 22 September 2012 (CEST)

 * that's annoyance at most, since it just has the wrong texture. it doesn't break the game like not creating a world and killing you does.
 * Downgrading to annoyance. You are not supposed to be able to place Nether Portal (Technical) blocks without the use of a mod, or cheats.In any case, it shouldnt allow you to place portal blocks in the end.--82.155.121.241 16:21, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

undefined The AI defaults to considering Cobblestone Walls as normal blocks. As such, when mobs attempt to path beyond them, they may path through them. This is significantly noticeable with Villagers. If a Villager attempts to path to a house or elsewhere when a cobblestone wall blocks this path, they will run into the wall, attempting to jump over it, and not repath around it. This is incredibly troublesome in cases where cobblestone walls attach to sides of houses - a Villager can become trapped against the Cobblestone Wall throughout the night and likely killed by a Zombie, since the AI believes it is still taking a valid path to the door. I've also just noticed Iron Golems having the same problem, not to say this isn't universal. --MegaScience 15:57, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

 * The texture for the witch (and the texture from when Iron golems were introduced) is not a power of 2 (16, 32, 64, 128, etc.), it is slightly off. I presume that your system tries to but cannot handle textures that aren't a power of two, and so it lags. The Witch skin is 64x126 pixels. To fix, decompress and either tack on a few layers somewhere in the png file, or delete and replace it with a valid file, even though it might be extremely weird.

 * You're.. erm.. not too bright with this stuff. It's because you're forcing anisotropic filtering - causes white lines between most blocks, noticeably water and torches more than most. He never said your card "wasn't good enough".

 * Come on guys, use your heads! The likelihood that the person who took that picture specifically modified that texture file or had it modified/removed by an outside force, especially on purpose, is extremely unlikely, as to be practically impossible. I also have this issue. This is probably the same bug that happened to Iron Golems because of the texture being not a power of two. I checked the texture of the files, and noticed that the Iron Golem texture is 128x128, while the texture that doesn't work, the witch, has a texture size of 64x126, and 126 is NOT a power of two. I looked at the Snooper info, and it says that the OpenGL value "texture non power of two" value was false, which I presume means that the system cannot support it, and so it renders white as a replacement. I added two lines to the image to complete it, and it renders, but the texture is sort of off in some places. --Wormy14 15:49, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

undefinedOld bug, but still not fixed: Vertically centered faces facing down (e.g. the bottom faces of top half blocks) seem to not reflect light that comes from the bottom, but instead they reflect the light that comes from the top. So if e.g. a top half block has an optically opaque block above it and is surrounded by blocks blocking all light from the sides it's displayed very dark, even if light comes from below (as the block on it's top prevents any light to come through). --Neon 10:37, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Sounds
Bugs ! The sounds in the game are horrendous, they sound almost like static, but not quite; they sound very slightly like the old sounds. This is also obnoxious, for you would have to turn down the (system) sound most of the way to reduce the intensity of the noise, and at that level, the system sounds can barely be heard. At first I had thought my sound had failed, but now I am certain that this is not the case. It wasn't a problem with the system, because the system sounds play fine and, the sounds before 12w38b still play absolutely fine when I copy it back. I am practically 100% certain that this has something to do with the sound engine "update". Last time something like that updated, in my instance, the lighting engine, it broke it. (The lighting styles seemed partially reversed on blocks at night, as in caves were dark and barely lightable, and the surface was permanently lit. And practically no one else had the bug! Maybe 3-4 people overall at most, it seems.) Oh, and I'm on a Mac. --Wormy14 15:09, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

undefinedthere is no sound at all when using this snapshop, fresh install in 1.3.2 and switched to this and no sound at all. music works fine.
 * Make sure you turned your minecraft sound on, seriously! --Wormy14 15:09, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I have the same issue. Sound is turned on. Music does play after a while. Had this problem a few times before in previous snapshots but could start Minecraft with sound after several tries. Sounds don't play at all in this snapshot for me. Previous snapshots do.--Pulse daemon 17:41, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

 * This has happened to Ghast sounds from the day they were added. I thought I knew the Ghast sounds, but when I actually listened to the files I found that they go on for longer than they do in the game. TorchicBlaziken 19:05, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

undefined Minecart sound is unaffected by sound volume. A Level between 1-100% produces the same volume. Changing volume before or while riding makes no difference, level is always constant unless game sound is set to 0%.
