!!AWT on SMP error regardless of nogui flag (same as 12w22a, issue still present even though it was marked fixed). Takes about five minutes to happen, then the server becomes unresponsive. undefined
 * Note, prior to 12w16a, SMP worked fine on the same platform. --Inertia

!! Running Minecraft SMP on OpenJava 7, the server starts then crashes after a while. Here's what happens in the console: undefined

And here is the crash report: undefined

!! Freeze followed by crash sometimes when many pistons are triggered simultaneously. Tested in singleplayer survival, openjdk 1.7.0_04, arch linux x86_64. No crash report, but the relevant console output is below 84.175.20.89 12:49, 8 June 2012 (UTC) undefined

 * Oh ok, didn't know about that. --177.3.48.101

!! When kicked from a server (whether through /kick or End of Stream) the client crashes and the screen remains black.
 * My crash report is below. Seems to be the exact same issue that causes crash after dieing in hardcore mode (the issue above) --Mattrition 21:14, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

!!sp Spamming while in a bed crashes minecraft with no report (tried Singleplayer)
 * I suspect this is the same error as the one found when being kicked or dying in hardcore mode, but I can't get the server to kick me for spamming so I don't know. --Mattrition 21:15, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

!! (Seldom) crash when maximizing the window with just after starting Minecraft. No crash report except "Java doesn't work anymore". Seen with Java 6U31 64bit and 7U4 / Windows 7 64bit. --Kumasasa 16:55, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

! sp Minecraft is still unplayable in single player on low-end computers (32 bit processor and less than 2 GB of RAM) since 12w18a. Exploring the world leads to no response or after 10 minutes alone. --Manuelschi 17:19, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is most likely a temporary flaw related to the in-development nature of these snapshots. The final 1.3 release should have much tidier code and would thus be far less resource-intensive.

Gameplay
Bugs

!!sp After a few minutes of play time, entities stop working - items can't be dropped, mobs won't spawn, projectiles aren't fired and their associated firing sound effect doesn't play. Existing mobs cannot be interacted with, and stay rooted to the spot, taking no action. Also, GUIs klike the crafting table's won't open, but the inventory one will. This can be fixed by reloading the world, but the game fails to save several recent changes to the world, losing your progress. The bug will take hold again, after an apparently shorter amount of time, until it is effectively impossible to do anything.
 * Similar behavior was reported for 12w22a. Was marked as "fixed". P.S. Endermen did still vibrate. --IntKecsk 21:49, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

undefinedSome extensive red stone circuits fail to work properly, this is caused by repeaters freezing their position. This mainly happens when you move out of the chunk they are in. This does not occur in 1.2.5 --149.135.145.111 DOME170
 * confirmed, when you return to the chunk with the redstone in it, the repeaters will be stuck

undefined since you can't get an enchantment higher than 21 on the second slot in the enchantment table and also you can just adjust the enchantments on the last slot to an even number (...,22,24,26,28,30) by changing the number of bookshelves it's impossible to do a level 23,25,27 or 29 enchantment.

undefined You can't use an item with right-click if you are looking directly at a mob. --Mattrition 21:00, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

undefinedwhen you enter a nether portal, the second you arrive in the nether/overworld the portal starts moving your screen again to send you back. In 1.2.5, when you arrived you first had to step out of the portal and then enter it again before it sent you back --League

undefined Respawn point is not the same. After dying (if you didn't sleep in bed yet) you'll respawn near the old respawn point, but not the same place (is this working as intended?). --Mkbu95 21:35, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * That is exactly how it has always worked --Mattrition 23:10, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I remember testing this in Alpha and it was always the exact same block. I just tested it now in 1.2.5 and it was the same block as well. I don't think this is how it always worked. --Moxxy 23:21, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It has worked this way for a long while in multiplayer, and now that single-player and multiplayer are merging, this is perhaps a side-effect of that. --CaMoreno3 23:25, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * That's right. As far as I remember, in multiplayer the first time a world was created you spawn in one place. After that all players would spawn several blocks away from the original spawn point. --Mattrition 23:46, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I think on spawnkilling if everyone spawns the same place in multiplayer Darkmtbg2 16:55, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

undefinedFlying up high in creative, then holding sneak to drop to near ground, then changing to survival mode via commands will inflict fall damage on the player, even if the player, while in Creative, was only 1 block up above the ground when switched. This will kill you if you have no armor .Xmzolfm 00:49, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Ever since Minecraft 1.0.0 armor no longer protects you from fall damage unless the boots are enchanted with "Feather Falling". I "stroke through" that "armor" part.  09:23, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined sp su Fire from lightning strikes burns indefinitely and can only be extinguished by destroying the burning block or covering it up with another block (punching the fire doesn't work). I have also found that standing on some blocks after extinguishing the fire from the block above causes flames to still surround me. The blocks I have noticed this happening on so far are grass blocks after destroying the burning tall grass block above it and tree leaves after destroying the burning leaf block above it. These blocks (tall grass & leaves) are not consumed by the fire and the fire does not appear to spread. Also the area around this phantom fire block is illuminated at night (as if fire was actually burning there). I also take no damage standing in fire caused by lightning strikes. Flint and steel fires still behave as expected. Difficulty was set to Easy. --CodeNinja84 20:10, Saturday, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

a! Not really sure exactly what happens, but in the old SSP before the merge you were able to swim out of a 1 block of still lava before dying. Now, if I fall into one, getting hurt knocks me back enough that I cannot get out even while holding space.
 * I can confirm this. The same thing happens while drowning. The damage taken produces a small amount of knockback, keeping the player from swimming out of the water or lava. I'm upgrading this to major annoyance. --CaMoreno3 04:20, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this has to do with SP being converted to be more like SMP. This is really just the same glitch as "Drowning causes knockback" --Moxxy 05:05, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

a cr Fired arrow entities can not be picked up. Can be seen at 1:35 in this video. --Nathan2055 18:29, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Maybe, some people want to launch themselves from the TNT cannon. --IntKecsk 14:35, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * A better solution might be to negate explosion physics when the player is flying. -- Mustek  14:59, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Exactly, some people, I personally prefer if there was no way other player could not even push/move one in creative. Except using commands. -93.106.179.121 11:27, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

a Compasses don't point to the last respawn point. That renders the compass quite useless when playing a longer time on a map. --Kumasasa 23:29, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Downgraded to annoyance. --CaMoreno3 04:20, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

amp Ender chests have no use in MP (greater server), because everybody can take the things inside. Also as a mail system (books) they are useless, because of the same reason. The chests need to be related to a player. --reptile311
 * The discussion regarding this annoyance has been moved to the talk page. Please post any further comments there. It seems to be a 50% split in opinion of whether or not Ender Chests are useful in multiplayer. --CaMoreno3 20:09, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

amp? The original minecraft launcher doesn't give your username to minecraft. When you want to play on a server in LAN, with online = false, no other player can join, because they are all named as player. (I know there is magic launcher, but I want use the original and yes, I have payed for minecraft, no cracked version) --reptile311
 * No. The launcher gives the username to the server. The server setting "online=false" has nothing to do with the launcher. I am playing too in a LAN with the original launcher, original server and original minecraft and my name is not Player. Please explain further, else vote for removal. --Kumasasa 17:11, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Just need to verify, this is with an old Minecraft Launcher? If so, then the launcher may not log you in properly, and as such will not pass your username onto the server. If online-mode=true, it will probably give you a "User not premium" error. This problem happened to my friend, and so I just told him to get the new launcher from minecraft.net EDIT: Just wanted to say, this problem isn't limited with this version, as my friend had this problem with a previous version of minecraft. Stepanma01 04:48, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, but here are discussed the bugs of the version 12w23b, not other versions. --Kumasasa 07:29, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * When I'm offline, no connection to the internet. I start the 12w23b server exe and then start minecraft with launcher and join the server with localhost. I'm always named as player. Server and launcher are on the same computer(localhost). If you use Magic Launcher I have the name in the username field. --reptile311
 * Aha. The solution to that issue is not to use the launcher when the client is offline. Use the shell script as described in Tutorials/Setting_up_a_server "How do I play on a LAN without access to the internet?". --Kumasasa 16:20, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * So it is an annoyance, because with the MagicLauncher it works and with the normal launcher it doesn't works. But thanks for the tip.

a Ghasts are extremely dangerous when render distance is set to short. It's impossible to see where they are until they've already shot at you, and if there's multiple ones, your only option is to run away. I understand I could just higher the render distance, but there are players that need short rendering for lag issues. --Keithicus420 19:58, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

a Leaving a game then rejoining can teleport the player to the highest block in the same X;Z coordinates they were in. Tested under a tree, went to the top leaf.

undefined Nether Portals can overwrite stair blocks. TorchicBlaziken 23:27, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Can you explain this in greater detail? Or perhaps provide an image? --CaMoreno3 00:52, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The description is pretty clear, nether portals can replace stairs when they spawn. -- Mustek  15:58, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing it's probably not just stairs but all blocks that aren't completely solid. Will test this and edit the report. --Moxxy 05:48, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When collecting Mushroom blocks with Silk Touch it will not preserve the damage value. TorchicBlaziken 23:49, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined There are a few lines of code in the class for the End Portal block (the actual portal itself, not the frame) that prevent the creation of End Portals in the Nether or End except for like a split second after the Ender Dragon dies, even though this doesn't matter because you can't even make them in Survival. This only serves to prevent the player from replacing an End Portal in the End after a player in Creative destroys them. TorchicBlaziken 22:39, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined 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. TorchicBlaziken 23:59, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Because it shouldn't break when the block underneath is broken. That was confirmed to be a bug. --Moxxy 21:05, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Switching tools while mining blocks creates visual mining that is not player controlled, video. It is difficult to tell if this is related to the new breaking animation or if it was always this way and just never noticed. LB 19:45, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Firing an arrow into any side of a block with a wooden pressure plate on top of it causes the pressure plate to activate. This is a very "popular" bug, but its a bug nonetheless --Mattrition 11:11, 8 June 2012 (UTC) via reddit
 * This is a feature as of this update. 172.31.3.162 12:48, 8 June 2012

 * String (floats above upper slabs or stair blocks when placed)
 * Torches (including redstone torches) are placeable on stairs but not slabs, which is needlessly inconsistent.
 * This is due to the fact that they count as transparent blocks. They behave just the same as glass and normal slabs in the respects of what can't be attached to them. --83.67.89.204 04:16, 8 June 2012‎ (UTC)
 * Regardless of the reasoning, it is still an inconsistency that needs to be corrected. --CaMoreno3 12:31, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Vote for removal; this is the same thing as the post before it, just that it is a different transparent block. --Keithicus420 19:58, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * As there was only one difference between the two lists of items, I've merged the two reports into one, marking the one item (torches) that places OK on stairs but not slabs.--82.69.54.207 00:42, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

undefinedmpWhen breaking blocks that are smaller than a full block, it shows the breakimage for a full block. Example with snowlayer. -- Mustek  21:42, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances

a Once connected to tripwire hooks, the string hitbox should scale down horizontally to better represent their actual size, similar to levers, buttons and fences. As of now, their hitboxes are probably 8 times what they should be. A smaller hitbox would also make them more difficult to see, as a player simply looking down while walking will see the change from the grass hitbox to the string one. A smaller one might circumvent that. --CaMoreno3 12:09, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, as the hitbox is very similar to that of normal blocks, it blends in. A smaller hitbox is arguably more noticeable, as it is at dischord with its environment. 83.67.89.204 04:16, 8 June 2012‎ (UTC)
 * I suppose whether or not it would be visible is a matter of opinion. I for one think the sudden rise in the hitbox of an entire block would be more noticeable. Either way, the larger hitbox causes activation of the tripwire without actually stepping on the wire. This is inconsistent with pressure plates and other redstone activation devices. --CaMoreno3 12:20, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * What you are saying about the hitbox makes no sense. I think you mean that they should re-size their COLLISION box. Take 1.9 pre2 fences for example. Their hitboxes are a whole block but their collision boxes are adjusted to match the fence. This shows that most people mistake hitboxes for collision boxes.  09:40, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Semantics aside, my point is still the same. Regardless of what you want to call it, it needs to be smaller to match the tripwire. If Minecraft keeps hitboxes and collision boxes separate, then they should BOTH be scaled down. --CaMoreno3 10:33, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

a You can't see the end portal if you're under it. --Mkbu95 21:39, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This has been part of the End Portal design since it was introduced. This is most likely to show that you can jump up through the bottom of the portal. --King Starscream 21:56, 7 June 2012 (UTC)



a Cobwebs still slow you down while you are flying in Creative Mode. They are currently the only thing in your way of flying quickly all over the place since the bug where water slowed you down was fixed. It's a pain flying around abandoned mineshafts because of this. TorchicBlaziken 22:00, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

a Pressure plates make the annoying clicking sound on top of fences, and pressure plate tables are used in villages. In Beta 1.8, when villages were added, it was better because they did not work on top of fences and so they did not make the annoying clicking sound. TorchicBlaziken 23:17, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This won't be changed. Pressure plates on top of fences are how redstone devices that detect item drops are created. --Moxxy 23:27, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * They could compromise by making pressure plates not work on top of wooden fences, but they would still work on top of Nether Brick fences. TorchicBlaziken 20:20, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

 * This is either what MCKMan said or a problem to previously stated reports involving repeaters and clocks glitching out. Could you provide more information so we can tell if this is a repeat, mistake or an entirely different bug? --Moxxy 05:48, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

a Ever since Minecraft 1.1, surface strongholds can no longer generate because the part that goes above ground is deleted. I think this is a bug because a surface stronghold was featured in Jeb_'s first screenshot of strongholds which leads me to believe that surface strongholds are an intentional feature of the game that was accidentally removed.
 * This cannot been proven to be a bug. All features in screenshots are subject to change. That particular picture was released long, long before strongholds were implemented and when they finally were Mojang was completely aware of them not having entrances (hence the glass towers). Requesting removal. --Moxxy 22:00, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

a! Iron Golems doesn't spawn in villages or artificial villages. - by Miraboa

a The arrangement of blocks required to create a Golem does not include air surrounding the Golem, or something for the Golem to stand on. Buildings made of blocks of snow and iron can be griefed by players, or worse, Endermen, simply by placing pumpkins on them. If it is an Iron Golem that is unintentionally created, then this results in a big waste of iron.
 * An Enderman placing a pumpkin on an iron or snow structures is extremely rare. (Also, all snow and iron structures and pumpkins are quite rare) The game shouldn't be changed cause of griefers since there is already a lot of anti-grief plugins. However, pumpkins placed by endermen shouldn't be able to create golems (Or should it?).

a Zombie iron item drops too rare to be worthwhile.
 * Downgraded to annoyance, this is not a bug. Also, I disagree. I feel that these "rare item drops" are meant to be just that, rare. They are a nice find, but shouldn't be relied upon as a main source for iron items. --CaMoreno3 23:25, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

 * I keep running into invisible cactuses in the desert. Sometimes moving around will allow me to back off the catcus I'm pinned on but occasionally I can get trapped in between multiple invisible cactuses, making it much more difficult to get unstuck from them. BrickVoid 00:50, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I've experienced this as well (in both single-player and multiplayer). It also seems to happen with trees, and seemingly more often with swamp trees. The leaves are visible, but the wood is not. I suggest upgrading this to "severe bug" status with group consensus, as it can cause unavoidable death. --CaMoreno3 00:59, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
