! sp Since the single player server update (12w18a ahead) single player is unplayable at low-end computers (32-bit processors and less than 2 GB of RAM which would be playable at 20 fps in previous versions). I'm able to play for at most 10 minutes before world stops responding. --Manuelschi 21:33, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This could be related to the bug above. --Mattrition 10:52, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * No, this is due having a computer not powerful enough to host a server. --Manuelschi 17:58, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

! sp ? Map changes are not saved when you quit --Isle 16:58, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This clearly doesn't happen all the time because it hasn't happened to me yet. Anyone else had this? --Mattrition 12:11, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Not on my world map, no. Haven't experimented with the map item yet. Would the original poster mind clarifying which was meant? --82.69.54.207 15:32, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh I see. I immediately thought it meant world changes, but the term map is not really used in that context. --Mattrition 16:09, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * So I crafted a map, had a little walk around with it for a bit and then quit the world. On relog and viewing the map it had to reload its picture again but the changes were saved. Not sure what the behaviour was before. Did maps always have to reload their picture after quitting? --Mattrition 16:16, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I recognized that sometimes destroyed Farmland turns back to farmland by itself. --Kranseier 15:53, 5 June 2012 (UTC)kranseier

Fixed/Skipped

f !!AWT on SMP error regardless of nogui flag. Takes about five minutes to happen, then the server becomes unresponsive.

undefined
 * Note, prior to 12w16a, SMP worked fine on the same platform. --Inertia
 * Thanks, fixed. /jeb_

f !!Minecraft crashes with "Internal Server Error" when attempting to destroy an Ender Crystal with an exploding bed. When relogged, the crystal is gone and the bed is dropped as an item. A similar situation occurs with TNT. It explodes then locks up the world. Upon relogging the crystal is gone.
 * Can you post a crash report if you can find one? --Mattrition 10:52, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

f ! A bug occurs that causes Minecraft to use up more memory - might be a memory leak. Evidence:
 * Can confirm. Allocated memory doesnt decrease while switching worlds. --Manuelschi 19:00, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes there was a memory leak. Fixed it, I hope! /jeb_

f x Keybinding for reloading chunks ("F") activates even if "F" is bound to another key. --Logician 02:49, 1 June 2012 (UTC) (Edited for conciseness by author.)
 * (Merged Duplicate) The world is re-rendered every time inventory is opened. --Txtsd 12:35, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Is your inventory key 'F' by any chance? - Mustek 12:48, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would explain it, except Fog Distance was remapped to F3+F, so it's still a bug. This doesn't happen in 1.2.5 --Txtsd 12:56, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It's confirmed as a bug by Jeb in this tweet. -- M u s t e k  13:09, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Bugs

! Superflat is still a slime hell: slimes spawn in huge numbers, stopping other hostile mobs from appearing. The only workaround is changing difficulty to peaceful, but this is not possible if you're testing hostile mob behaviour or in hardcore. Lvxferre 21:49, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * An easy way to fix that would be to change to ground level in superflat to 64. Or add options how the world should generate (height, blocktype). --Panda4994 14:32, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Anything above y=40 would do the trick, but I think this fix would annoy the ones who like superflat for huge buildings. IMHO, the "cleanest" solutions would be reduce slime chunks to 1/100 instead 1/10 OR their max spawning height from y=40 to y=4 when in Superflat. Lvxferre 22:19, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Using TNT-Cannons or entering the end from a self placed portal sometimes kicks the player with the message "You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)". It can even happen to OPs or in single player. You can get kicked from your single player world! There should at least be an option to turn it off in the server.properties.

undefined If you are flying when you go into the end portal, you get disconnected from the server with the message "You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)".--Flapjacksmike 21:08, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This has carried over from previous versions. MarioLuigi2010 18:34, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined You can't use an item with right-click if you are looking directly at a mob.
 * Also, you can't eat when looking directly at an animal (tested with bread and cows). That is odd since cows don't eat bread. 91.144.213.35 15:18, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Changed the bug report to be more general. I can't use a bow when looking at animals, so I think you generally can't use items when looking directly at them. --Mattrition 16:54, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This happens in creative mode, too. --Thebombzen 00:27, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When you respawn your game view will go crazy for 2~4 seconds and after that you'll respawn as expected. --mkbu95 17:34, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined When aiming a bow about a block's height above a small or medium slime, the arrow will drop to the ground, causing no damage to the slime. --Flapjacksmike 16:20, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This is very reproducible if you aim your bow about a block above a small or medium slime. The charge on the bow makes no difference to the reproducibility. Updating the report to reflect this. Also, I'm not certain, but I think the issue might be purely graphical. I have managed to hit a slime a few more blocks away by reproducing this with a closer one. --Mattrition 17:46, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Rain doesn't put out fires, at least the fires from thunder that was noticed in an extreme hills biome. --MtDRelapse 3:02, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is interesting, because rain doesn't make any sound or produce particles when it meets ground in this biome (bugs are mentioned further down the page). It seems like the rain seems to just pass straight through. --Mattrition 14:11, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined If you get disconnected from the server while entering the end, you will spawn in the void when you re-enter the world. (This can occur, for example, when you fly into the end portal) --Flapjacksmike 21:11, 31 May 2012 (UCT)
 * This has carried over from previous versions. You spawn in the same coordinates you were at in the overworld, instead of on the obsidian blocks. MarioLuigi2010 18:34, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined ? Every time I fire an arrow, it appears in mid-air, drops to the ground and sticks there, but then it suddenly moves to where I shot at. I have noticed this in a superflat, creative world. --109.70.151.47 16:11, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I was not able to reproduce this, however, it has happened to me before. MarioLuigi2010 18:34, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Has it happened on this particular snapshot to you? --Mattrition 10:48, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When opening an iron door with a button and to go through it, if you are not fast enough you "glitch" in to the wall. The deathscreen says in german "Playername wurde lebendig begraben" - i dont know what it says in english - maybe "buried alive". --Kranseier 20:10, 3 June 2012 (UTC)kranseier

undefined According to the enchantment info at the bottom of the enchanting page, http://pernsteiner.org/minecraft/enchant_snapshot/, it is impossible to get Sharpness V on anything but a gold sword, and with a gold sword it has a 0.2% chance of happening. Same goes for efficiency V. I think this is a bug. Thebombzen 22:59, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Doesn't sound like a bug to me. It means you need to use a relatively useless tool to gain a very impressive enchantment. Just a quirk of the system and no more than an annoyance to some people. --Mattrition 13:59, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances

a! Emerald Ore only generates in Extreme Hills/Extreme Hills Edge biomes. Once this gets released for SMP people are going to fight over the land/chunks, causing a lot of headache for the poor server admins.
 * As stated by Jeb, emerald ore is supposed to be super rare, as the primary resource of it is through selling to NPCs. They're just there as a little extra. -- Mustek  14:14, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This Annoyance report should not even exist, people should stop complaining about everything. This is a bug page.

a! Trading is sometimes underpowered. Buying 3 glowstone with 1 emerald just doesn't sound right. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 11:53, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Are these Glowstone blocks or Glowstone dust ? Missingno 26 13:19, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Blocks
 * So I don't think it's underpowered, I think it's overpowered ! Missingno 26 15:25, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Overpowered?!?! Are you serious? 3 glowstone blocks are almost nothing, it's much better to take a minimal risk and mine them in the Nether. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 19:40, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I think it's just the fact of being able to get Glowstone without risking you life in the Nether that annoy me ... Missingno 26 19:55, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, glowstone is one of the most valuable thing in most servers. Just after diamonds. 1 Emerald, however, IS nothing at all.
 * Glowstone isn't that risky to mine in the Nether... use dirt/cobble pillars; it doesn't have much value (not much possible uses, like gold). However, emeralds are rare and cost a lot of resources sometimes. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 09:59, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Glowstone are tricky to get and not so frequent, they are very useful and Emerald are not even supposed to be mined, the ores are here for little extra, 1 emerald = 3 glowstones IS overpower. I don't know what you are talking about and everyone seems to be with me on that.
 * Apart from glowstone, trading is still unbalanced. Another example: They sell one emerald for 4 diamonds, whereas they sell 3 loaf of bread for one emerald. --91.60.242.76 10:32, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

a! Mining coal gives a seemingly disproportionate amount of EXP as opposed to, for example, mining diamond or emerald. This, the size of normal coal veins, and their frequency to generate leads to extreme amounts of level gains in very little time.
 * Certainly it is a feature, because I often ignore coal ores when I don't need them. Seems to be a way to make mining more attractive. By the way, you also get EXP for putting out smelted items from your oven. Even though I admit you are right: coal ores spawn too many EXP. Sorry for my English --91.49.40.83 05:12, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, this was clearly intended, so its more if an annoyance than a bug. --Mattrition 11:01, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

a! Ender dragon gives over 1200 levels upon death. Which means over 40 max levels enchantments, equivalent to 5 full sets of armor and tools. WAY overpowered for what it takes to defeat the dragon.

a! After generating a world with normal or large biomes, with the chest and cheats on, seeds stop being generated, and walking off makes you fall into the void. Instead of dying in the void, you fall for eternity. You cannot see the seed in debug, and the only way to make more chunks generate, you have to change the render distance. Not tested in multiplayer. (P.S. The generator is broken in other ways, too. I spawned in an extreme hill biome with an ocean under a floating island.)
 * That is because SP is now a server. If you have a slow computer, say, under 2-3GB of RAM, you will experience things like this. Just exit your world and go back, or if that doesn't work, restart Minecraft. MarioLuigi2010 18:49, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

a Sometimes with or without cheats, the game acts like a laggy server. I can press T and talk and sometimes I wasn't able to shoot arrows from a bow and blocks I'd break reappear, this only happened to me once while I was playing a custom map. dalolman - Punch trees, get wood 00:00, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is mostly because the game IS a (laggy) server now; even in single player! I experienced those things also, especially while fighting mobs where timing is critical, but also with other items and interactions (fishing for example). This was much more worse before on servers (server- and client-side), but not in single player because before single player was not based on a local server like now. I expect they will fix this until the next major release since it is much better as it was before in multiplayer already.
 * This isn't a bug report. It's more of a complaint about lag. Downgrading to annoyance, because its true that, really, a singleplayer local server shouldn't produce notable lag at all. --Mattrition 11:36, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

a Ghast fireballs can destroy nether portals, trapping players in the nether if they didn't bring a flint and steel with them. It doesn't destroy the obsidian frame, just the purple portals. --Thebombzen 19:03, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I think that's intended behavior in the fact that you can get out, by putting all of your items in your chest and dying. Plus, ghasts can reactivate your portal if the fire from the fireball gets in the frame. Next time though, bring a flint ant steel! :) Justcool393 22:11, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * A few things. One, this behavior doesn't exist in Minecraft 1.2.5. That's why I think it's a bug. Two, it shouldn't be intended that the only way out is dying. I have 193 levels that I don't want to lose. I also don't happen to have a chest or an ender chest on me. Third, the ghast that deactivated the portal flew off. I don't want to sit around while waiting for a ghast to come back, because sitting around is boring. --Thebombzen 22:55, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with Justcool393, perhaps it was a bug in 1.2.5 that it didn't work all the time but it certainly worked that way in previous versions. Go Ghast hunting and get one to relight your portal. Unless anyone else thinks it is a bug, I vote to remove. -- Lucifer_LLS 02:17, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a behavior and have been there since the Nether have been added. Also, it should works in 1.2.5 and I would not change it.
 * Downgraded to an annoyance due to consensus opinion. I agree that this is actually the normal behaviour for Minecraft. The abnormal behaviour was when fireballs could not disable the portal. But lets not remove it because it is clearly annoying for some. --Mattrition 10:41, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

a I think that "buying" diamond tools/diamonds is a bit too overpowered. I'd suggest making the villagers ONLY sell gold and iron tools. Stone and wood isn't something to waste emeralds on.. - KrisEike
 * It is fine in my opinion, it should stay, maybe diamond tools should be a tad more expensive. <font color="#cccc00">C <font color="#00aaaa">ali <font color="#0000aa">nou - talk × contribs » 20:00, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

a Enchanting is way too overpowered, giving Fortune 3 + 2 more enchantments when spending 30 levels. - KrisEike
 * Moving discussion to talk page. Significant gripes include:
 * 'Underpowered'
 * 'Overpowered'
 * '[Still] too random'
 * 'Loss of previously available high level enchantments'
 * 'Too easy to farm XP levels, given that XP farms are generally geared up for the old 50-level system'

a When trading a diamond sword with a villager you'll get an enchanted version. When putting this enchanted version back in the trading slot and adding the emeralds required, you can trade. However you'll get the same sword back, but you'll lose your emeralds. --Roenmane

a Player can be spawned in the water.

a Book and Quill - Can't insert blank spaces into book. Doesn't seem to be a way to indent text. Hitting Enter does not create a new line if there is no text on the current one. Can't indent text by pressing the tab button or spacebar.
 * Current workaround: paste "§r" before attempting to indent, and also before hitting enter on blank lines. This is the reset formatting code, and will not show up in the text. Other formatting codes can also be used for this purpose. --WolfieMario 23:17, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

a Only 15 Bookshelves are needed to get the max level of 30, Should be changed in line with max level to keep it at 30 bookshelves -hghgnghd
 * Seeing as how bookshelves now cost three lether, too (one for each book), I think the total cost to set up a full enchantment table is good. It gives the player a lot more control over how you want to place them. With 30 bookshelves you hardly have anything to work with. 30 would be fine though, if the radius was increased. 91.144.213.35 11:05, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the number of bookshelves for the max level should be the same as before (30 as stated by hghgnghd), but a bigger radius isn't a bad idea, tho.

a Weird boats behaviour. --194.85.161.2 10:50, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Please provide more information. This is a very unhelpful report and will be removed if you don't --Mattrition 11:01, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The angle of rotation is discrete. Sometimes empty boat pops one block up and floats in the air. --194.85.161.2 15:17, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

a Problem viewing all whitelisted players. I can type "/whitelist list" and see 14 of about 19 players. I've tried "/whitelist list 2", but it just ignores the 2 and lists the same players. Not sure how to view all of them. Keithicus420 05:37, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I think thats a bug not annoyance Darkmtbg2 09:29, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

a Sending a 1-tick pulse to a sticky piston results in unreliable behaviour. The block attached to the piston will randomly disappear and reappear.

a It seems that getting almost four levels for a stack of items smelted is too much. It's fine for iron or gold (sort of), but you can get a stack of clay extremely easily with about two clay deposits. Maybe this should be changed so more valuable smeltables give more experience and easy to get smeltables give less (e.g. gold and iron give more than sand and clay). Thebombzen 22:59, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

a Its hard to swim upwards while drowning in water there arent source block probaly because of the knock back you get by drowing Darkmtbg2 14:36, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This isn't a bug. It's been that way since drowning was added to the game. MarioLuigi2010 18:49, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is right, but it should be fixed (or changed to look more natural).

a XP Orbs are quite useless now that pretty much everything gives XP. Couldn't Xp just be directly given to the player killing a mob or mining ores? Orbs just happens to be everywhere.
 * I'm not sure you should put this in the Known Bugs Section, but you are kind of right. I would directly gives Experience to the player doing some EXP giving actions and only keep EXP Orbs droping on players' death.
 * I think XP Orbs should stay, at least from mob kill. It make designing XP grinders a little more challenging, since you need to manage a way for the XP to get to you. It make mob hunting more challenging to, since you have to go get your XP when you land a bow kill. Directly dividing the XP of the Ender Dragon among all players in the End would be nice, though.132.203.171.174 18:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Fixed/Skipped

f !! After some minutes of gameplay, any spawned mobs will freeze, entities like minecarts and boats will disappear, i am unable to fire arrows or throw potions, breaked blocks will not be dropped as a resource, i cannot use or open chests, workbenches, ect., priming TNT will make the block disappear, and mobs will no longer spawn. In general, entities are erased from the game.
 * It happened with me when I've put Ender Crystal on fire with enchanted bow. After world reload, entities have unfrozen. --IntKecsk 09:46, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * P.S. there also was a crash report, appearing to be related to this error: undefined

f ! I cannot skip the end credits after leaving The End and the credits never stop, even after quitting the game and restarting I'm still at the credits rendering the game totally unplayable - G8ball1511
 * This is consistent. Happens for every world
 * Temporarily switching back to an earlier snapshot got me past the credits. Unfortunately, any snapshot-specific blocks are deleted and have to be placed again after reloading the newer snapshot. - David Lones 18:26, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Blocks
Bugs ! Sometimes redstone torches will burn out until a game/server restart. It seems like itf get caused by the "/time set" command.
 * I can confirm this, it seems that if a torch burns out, you'd have to move the torch to occupy a different block for it to not just stay off when the torch is toggled off. Even then, the torch seems to burn out again after being toggled a few times, with the bug again occurring, even if it would normally work and not be burned out. This bug will stay even on reloading the world, and you have to quit the game completely and relaunch it for the bug to disappear. However, I do recall using /time set at least once, so it could possibly be related to that function, which effects may carry over upon reload. This would be classified as a major bug, for it breaks all redstone circuitry. I'll try to get more accurate details of this issue when I investigate this more. Any proper help or further analysis would be greatly appreciated! --Wormy14 07:14, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

! Blocks placed in empty chunks in the end are invisible until reconnecting. It's almost impossible to build in the end because of that.

! There seems to be cases in which dirt blocks will be loaded as stone blocks. Found the error in an extreme hills biome. The blocks had the stone texture as well as its durability, but when broken dropped dirt instead. Reloading minecraft caused the blocks to load properly. For purposes of trying to reproduce the bug, the seed and coordinates are as follows: Seed: -1535938722 | x: -121 | y: 78 | z: 101

! Mushrooms cannot be planted outside at night except on Mycelium. This is because the moonlight is considered 15, which is used by other crops so that they CAN grow outside at night. TorchicBlaziken 23:59, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

undefinedRepeaters still get stuck. when flying away so a chunk gets unloaded, and then returning to that chunk will result in the repeaters being frozen.

undefined Redstone torches can burn out randomly and will continue burning out even when you replace it. Reloading will fix the issue. Tried reproducing it but I haven't been able to since it happened once.
 * Occurs after using /time set - after 15 switches the torch burns out, regardless of triggering method or ticks between switches. 4C51 05:45, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Redstone circuits become unreliable over a certain distance. For example in 1.2.5 the max distance was 280 blocks, now its 150 blocks. I have a city on my server and this bug has caused rail way switching systems to stop working. It would be even better if the circuit distance could be expanded beyond 280 blocks, not halved. --crisss994
 * ok this has been moved to the fixed/skipped section, it better be fixed because this bug is annoying me. whats the point of a update if its gonna screw my world ffs
 * The point of an update is to add a bunch of awesome new features. The reason the redstone doesn't work for you is because nobody is in the chunks of your server. Redstone doesn't travel into unloaded chunks and so your redstone won't update if no player is in the chunk. If 1 person is standing at the end and 1 at the beginning the redstone will probably travel the whole way.
 * I love new updates but when they cause my world to malfunction something ive been working on for a long time its frustrating. your right they work when others are near the other end though it worked way longer distances before this snapshot without others on the other end, its been halved now.
 * Is it at all possible to make a redstone circuit load a chunk it runs into? This limitation would prevent some of the huge redstone computers from functioning as well as other interesting builds - Lucifer_LLS 02:30, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

undefinedfire caused by lighting strikes doesn't go away. you need to place a block to destroy it

Placing the water on a half-block further down the field works as expected.

A The hitbox for placed string is very large. It should be scaled down to fit the actual size of the item, similar to fences.

 * Vertically, yes, it does scale down, but in my opinion, it should also scale down horizontally. One is able to set off the tripwire by occupying the same block even if the actual wire isn't stepped on. The large horizontal size also makes it harder to jump over.

A Getting XP from Coal Ore is unbalanced : as deposits of coal are commun and usually large, the amount of XP you can expect a single deposit of coal is really high. Similary, as Iron deposits are commun in caverns, Getting XP by smelting iron is also unbalanced. These are even more unbalanced if you consider that maximal level enchantment is now 30 instead of 50. That's why I suggest apply this XP drop feature only on Rare Ores (Emeralds, Diamonds, Lapis-Lazuli and Redstone and smelted Gold). Missingno 26 14:13, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I disagree. I think it's a great idea that all of these actions drop XP, however they may drop too much XP. Perhaps the amount of XP dropped per event should be lowered, and, if not already, scaled by the rarity of each resource, i.e. coal drops very little xp while diamond drops a greater amount.
 * Well ... I guess if Coal dropped 1 XP and Iron dropped 2 XP then it would be OK.
 * Are you kidding? Should be more like a 1 in 10 chance of dropping experience. I found myself jump 10 levels from just two pockets of coal. Top tier enchantments should be something you need to save for.

a Now that exp is dropped from redstone ore, it makes sense to always mine all redstone ore. However, this causes huge amounts of redstone to pile up at home because it no longer makes sense to skip it. This, plus the fact that there is no redstone block (like lapis lazuli, iron, gold, or diamond) means that after as little as two or three mining trips you can get as much as 12 stacks of redstone dust, and it fills up chests with few uses other than to generate obsidian (and 12 stacks isn't needed for that). It's annoying. A simple solution would be to throw out the redstone but it's for some reason something that I and others won't want to do. Another solution would be to just add a redstone block, the way that a lapis block was added to compress excess lapis. That should reduce the annoyance. --Thebombzen 16:37, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Before last final (1.2.5) these are not seen at any time for me (of course, there was no "large biomes" mode back then and this means in "normal" mode for that case).

 * (Merged duplicate) Snow golems' pumpkins face their left side instead of front,players' pumpkin hats face their right side instead of front.

undefined When you are around 65 blocks away from a chest it will be invisible (only tested on singleplayer). --Swekob 2 June 2012
 * I tested this in a superflat creative world by placing a bunch of blocks in a row. At about 64-65 blocks away signs and chests appear to be unloaded from view. I'm not sure if there is anything else, or what the pattern appears to be. --Mattrition 11:08, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Torches at the top of a 1x1 vertical shaft are still bugged. TorchicBlaziken 20:36, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined While chunks are generated (especially when loading a world), rendering sometimes "misses" some spots and leaves them in a "seethrough" kind (inwisible); often it is necessary to walk near theam or inside them to make them appear. Technically they exist because entities (like animals) can be seen on/in them, walking "in the air". This was only a problem with lighting before (and for many past final versions of the game already also). This behaves the same way but affects terrain this time.

undefined Slabs still have faulty lighting when placed upside down under blocks. Example. This has been a bug since they were implemented. - Mustek 12:46, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined sp When going from a used world to another world(w/ an empty first slot inventory), if you have something in your hand (active slot from the used world) it will show up for a split second then disappear (when loading the other world). For example, Survival-Diamond Sword (current active slot) -> loading a (empty first slot in inventory) hardcore world -> Hardcore - Diamond Sword (appears then disappears from player's hand, not visible in inventory slot) --Flapjacksmike 16:05, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This has been present for several versions, possibly back in Beta or earlier. It shows the past item for one frame since it's already been rendered and the game is spending time loading chunks. The bug is more apparent in slower computers. 71.53.159.212 21:15, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances a sp When creating any type of world (survival, creative or hardcore), the game holds to the brown dirt screen for a while then flashes up the main menu screen just before showing the newly created world. --Flapjacksmike 15:48, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This also happens when loading an existing world --Marioman66 10:12, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

a The grown pumpkin/melon stalk appears to have part of the half-grown pumpkin/melon texture overlapping it.

a Lighting on a snow layer when there is a block immediately above it looks unnatural, and unlike regular blocks. Screenshot

a Foliage and grass colors no longer have a smooth transition based on temperature and rainfall, but instead are colored by biome. See http://imgur.com/a/penVC First image was from 1.0.0 and has smooth transitions, and the grass stays quite green several blocks into the desert biome. Second image is from 12w22a and transitions are quite abrupt and the tall grass has absolutely no color smoothing between biomes. BFeely 13:51, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

F undefined When there is a thunderstorm the sky does not darken.

F undefined When rain/snow starts, then no starting animation is done. For reference, in 1.2.x single player downfall starts by slowly fading in. The same applies when weather stops.

Sounds

undefinednoteblock sounds don't play when only 5 blocks away.

undefined There are no rain or lightning sounds when in extreme hills biomes.

undefined Rain sounds prevent note blocks from making sound.

undefined Nether portal sounds don't play - neither the sounds you're supposed to hear when near a portal nor the sounds when the loading screen is on.

undefined TNT explosions can not be heard out of a 16-block range

! After typing 19 characters in a line in a book, a Section Sign (§) appears at the end of the line, and the next line starts flashing 0 and 7 instead of the cursor. Example gif --Txtsd 08:44, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Same for me when creating a cover. Very annoying.

! Whenever opening a Book & Quill to write something, everything in the game freezes. Even when you close the book, everything will freeze, rendering the game completely unplayable until you "Save & Quit," but your game will NOT save. Everything will be the same as before you opened the book. EDIT: Only happens when you have an internet browser open. Still want this fixed, I want to listen to music while I'm playing D: --Stickguy1234
 * Cannot reproduce. Sounds like you have low RAM. --Txtsd 17:40, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Whenever opening a book an quill to write something, the GUI is not there. All there is is the page number at the top and and a gray page with the word 'MISSING' on it. You can still type on it and turn the page, but the arrow icon is not there, making it difficult to write in books. However, it is still possible. Tested on a Powermac G5 and an iMac. Tested on SMP only. This ONLY happens on 32-bit computers. Book and quills work fine on 64-bit computers.

undefined When trading with the priest villager, it will ask for weapons/armor to enchant. You can place already enchanted weapons/armor into the initial slot even if it's the same enchantment that you get from the trade. I don't think this is intended behavior. --Shikamaru123 14:25, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined If you leave items in the second slot while trading you lose them after you closed the menu (finished trading).

undefined You can right-click items in the trade output slot to receive only half of them, you will lose the rest then.

undefined Dyeing wool using the crafting table does not work.

undefined If you interact with a villager while holding a usable item, it will use the item. This can be problematic when you are holding a bow.

undefined When shift-clicking crafting output into your inventory, it is only checked if there is space for one of its kind. Crafting recipes that give multiple items, like torches, will be partially lost when the inventory can't take all of them.

undefined Im not sure if this is intentional, or a bug, but in creative, if you use the mini crafting table and close the menu with items still inside, it will drop the original quantity of items, eg if you were breaking down a 2 emerald blocks, and you broke one, leaving one in your crafting slot, closing the menu will drop 2 blocks. This does not work in survival mode, and its not game breaking in anyway, just inconsistent. --Alphasite 09:36, 2 June 2012 (UTC) (I need to make an account).

a Shift-clicking does not work in the villager trading UI.

a While in adventure mode (if you have cheats, type "/gamemode 2"), you can still pick up items which cannot be placed. Since you can't place blocks, you shouldn't really be able to pick up those items. For example, creeper explosion leaves a pile of dirt blocks and the items are picked up, but are not placeable. --Flapjacksmike 19:19, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * You can still craft though, so blocks that can be crafted into items (wood, cobblestone, etc.) should still be picked up. Besides, you can just throw the unusable blocks out again if you want. 71.53.159.212 21:20, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Adventure mode involves not placing any block, so certain types of crafting is worthless as certain items (wool, glowstone etc) cannot be placed anyways, unless it is a combat item or one which assists the player with a particular function not involving breaking and placing blocks.(Made an edit in response to redstonehelper's comment below)--Flapjacksmike 14:22, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * What about wood or cobblestone to craft tools?
 * You can use swords against mobs. Redstonehelper 21:16, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

a Suggested Exceptions to the Can't Place Or Remove Blocks rule in Adventure Mode in 12w22a: (Note: This is a complete rewrite of the original comment thread struck out below. Dsmith77 03:06, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * TNT and Cake should NOT be placeable. Players could pillar over obstacles.
 * Lava and Water from buckets should NOT be placeable. Players could climb up the flows like an elevator (doing so in lava would only require a Fire Resistance potion). Use pistons or dispensers to control water and lava flows instead.
 * Shears should be able to cut tripwires. Vines should not be destroyed by shears. Vine-Growth should probably be turned off to prevent unintended access to areas from climbing. Vines also should NOT be placeable to prevent unintended access.
 * Food-Management will be a necessity unless Hunger is turned off. Therefore, players should be allowed to collect Wheat (allowed in 12w22a) and Watermelon Slices (disallowed). Furthermore, Farmland-Trampling should be disabled and players should be allowed to replant farmland with Wheat or Watermelon seeds. (Pumpkin seeds and Sugarcane too?)
 * Flint and Steel should be allowed to set fires. (Should fire burn wool? wood? Maybe Fire-Spreading should be turned off.)
 * Swords should be able to break cobwebs.
 * Fishing Rods should be allowed to catch fish (allowed in 12w22a).
 * I've moved the struck-out portion to the discussion page, as it was not only ugly, but no longer relevant. CaMoreno3 09:56, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

a When I open a furnace when playing in 1080p (I don't know if it happens at other resolutions), the tooltip text for the item name in the top middle slot of the inventory appears, so I open a furnace after I go mining and I immediately see the cobblestone tooltip text. I think this is slightly annoying, especially because the mouse is on the very edge of the block it's over. Thebombzen 23:29, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

! Using "/time set" can sometimes cause redstone torches to get stuck in the off state. Even destroying and replacing the torches don't help. It seems like the only way to fix it is to restart the game/server.

undefined mp /say followed by a one-letter word is considered invalid usage of the command, but only if the one-letter word is the first word in the message. For example, "/say I love you" causes the error, but "/say I'm a banana" does not.

Language/Text Files
Bugs undefined In Australian English, Emerald Ore, Spawn Pig, Spawn Spider, Furnace, Boat, Lava Bucket, Raw Chicken, Cooked Chicken, Spawn Wolf, Spawn Ocelot and Music Disc are labelled as Ender Chest, Spawn Mutant Kangaroo, Spawn Deadly Spider, Stove, Surfboard, jarate (IDK what this means), Raw Cockatiel, Barbecued Cockatiel, Spawn Dingo, Spawn Wild Cat and Didgeridoo respectively. I think this maybe a joke but that's for Mojang to decide.
 * Correcting this in the translations. I've also reported these 'griefers' on the platform. - Mustek 12:27, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * So, does that mean Australian English isn't another one of those joke languages like pirate or klingon? :p --Mattrition 17:25, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The person who submitted these was clearly trolling (as in, posting "Mamma mia" in an Italian Game Over translation. -- <font color="FF0000">Mustek  01:28, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I think this is another of the joke translations, making fun of the often deadly Australian wildlife ect. As British/American English modes are good enough for us Australians, it should be considered a feature and left as it is.
 * Yes, this was my point. I wonder whether the australian language was created solely for a joke translation. However, if these translations were just down to one guy who also preyed on the Italian translation (which clearly should be a serious language) then maybe not. Its for Mojang to decided anyway. --Mattrition 11:20, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, awkward potions are called pre-pubescent potions in Australian English
 * Jarate is a Team Fortress 2 reference from the snipers jar of piss and karate (which he calls jarate).

a Some languages such as pirate speak or French from France (labelled Français (français)) have text which is shrunk and appears to be something like Arial Narrow rather than Arial Bold. This is not really a problem except the current experience level is rendered misaligned with its frame, so the black border is rendered for normal text but the green numbers are rendered in narrow.
