High enchanting levels hard to obtain compared to benefit
a! The enchanting system has always, and continues to be frustratingly unfair. sometimes producing Efficiency III when a level 50 enchant is used. Considering you need to kill NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE zombies/creepers etc, to get to Level 50, users are naturally in consensus that, to quote Yahtzee Croshaw, the ratio of difficulty to find versus actual usefulness is completely arbitrary. While we respect the mystique Mojang have tried to create about enchanting, the numbers need serious review. Kizzycocoa

 * I always thought the current experice/level-system was kind of a placeholder for an upcomming rpg-like skill-system. The current form seems to be very odd to me. The random-enchantings are annoying and the XP-costs seem to be unbalanced. I do love Minecraft but the experience-system is - sorry - nonsense. --Deep Thought 42 10:22, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Drowning

 * Damage from drowning currently pushes the player down. This means that if you are swimming for the surface of the ocean, then take one point of drowning damage, you'll never make it to the top.  EDIT: for SMP only.
 * Did not happen to me (ssp). 194.137.243.226 16:20, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Slightly happened in smp. 194.137.243.226 16:22, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * This is actually reported on the main known bugs discussion . If the blocks you are swimming in are downward flowing, then reaching the surface is impossible. Chezzik 19:06, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
