Crashing/system
Bugs !! I created a creative world (all default), walked around a bit, restarted minecraft, tried to load the world again and got my first crash report ever. I tried to reproduce but it didn't happened again. The world loads fine now. undefined

!!Game crashes when starting up some saved games. They crash in 12w38a, 12w39a, and 12w39b. Installing 12w37a makes the games load properly again.

Fixed/skipped

f In 12w39a the game crashed when a minecart was placed and the world wasn't playable after this anymore.
 * The 12w39b snapshot fixes have not resolved this issue, All worlds affected are corrupt.
 * To those with corrupted worlds due to this bug, you can remove the minecart(s) using an editor like MCedit or perhaps an older version of Minecraft and the problem should be solved. 108.192.130.92

undefined Logging out and logging back in while falling off a cliff will only make you take the fall damage from the height you logged back in from. It is extremely annoying with fall traps on PvP servers.

! I reported this a few snapshots back to the regular forums. I just did this a few minutes ago in 12w39b so it's still happening. There is a major bug with maps and copying them. Copying one map is fine. Copying a pile of maps works fine but the two piles do not stack if you do it that way. There is also a DUPLICATION bug when ENLARGING maps. If you take a stack of maps that you copied and put blank papers around it to enlarge one, it actually enlarges ALL of the maps in the pile but only takes ONE. So, if you have a stack of 4 maps and try to enlarge with papers, you will get a stack of 3 of the original maps left in the center of the crafting table but 4 (or whatever number of maps you put in the crafting table originally) newly enlarged maps in the creation spot instead of one.  They are real maps, it's not a ghost image.  I have done this many times, logged in and out, etc. Pashta 04:31, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

! + Minecraft does not always register keys being released. That causes player to keep moving in the direction the key was pressed. Also Minecraft window sometimes loses focus after placing and saving a sign. It occurs the more often the slower the computer running minecraft is.

undefined 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 10:07, 01 October 2012 (CEST)

Annoyances a! Lightning can be devastating on Multiplayer servers, as it causes fire, which can burn down entire forests, woolen constructs and other creations while users are sleeping.

 * Is it still an issue in 12w39b? If not, wrong page.

a! Villager trading is made cumbersome due to the nature of the offer renewal feature. On average, an offer can be used 7 times before a player must trade with the final offer slot to renew disabled offers. Because rarer offers are weighted to be more likely when a villager has many offers, and rarer offers tend to be more expensive or provide items which aren't as useful in large quantities, a villager which has been traded many times tends to be less useful than a villager traded only a few times. This is because, in order to renew desired offers, often an expensive or limited-use offer such as 11 emeralds for a watch must be traded. Once a villager has all its offer slots, further trading with this villager will require trading always with the last slot, putting a player at an excess of an item they may not have a use for. There is no particularly logical reason a villager can't renew their offers after making any other trade: in fact, if we assume villagers have actual jobs aside from trading, offers should be capable of renewal over time. It would be much less cumbersome to trade with villagers if *any* trade had a random chance of renewing a disabled slot. Also, it is not logical that only disabled slots can be renewed - why is there a limit to how many uses any offer can gain? Surely, if a villager amasses larger amounts of wealth, they would have more to trade and therefore be willing to trade more. Jeb has stated he intends for villagers to have more long-term benefits, but currently you are still better off building villager breeders than spending your time caring for any one particular villager. --WolfieMario 01:25, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Very nice analysis. They keep saying they're trying to dissuade us from killing villagers, but the problem isn't that we kill them, it's that we MUST kill them in order to have anything even resembling a useful trading system. --5thHorseman 22:22, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

a There is no way to teleport a player relative to their current coordinates using command blocks. Although the idea may seem simple, there are many things which are not possible because of this (e.g. illusions to help stitch together separate areas of maps, forcefields which physically repel the player (rather than placing them at a fixed coordinate), interactive "flipbooks", etc.). There is also no way to teleport a player to fractional coordinates (e.g. y=64.5). --WolfieMario 01:26, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Blocks
Bugs ! When a player looks at an item frame, mobs start to glitch into and through wooden plank blocks and suffocate. The mobs don't need to be nearby and the item frame doesn't have to be visible but can be hidden behind opaque blocks as long as it is within the field of view of the player. This bug exists since 12w34a. --Obi-Wahn 10:44, 29 September 2012 (UTC). '''Edit: This does not occur on my Mac. May be limited to Windows.''' User:ken_garmany 3:45, September 2012

a Mushroom blocks cannot be harvested or placed properly. In either case (even when using silk touch or the Creative Mode pickblock button), the block reverts to pores on all sides. Thus, map editors or tedious piston usage is necessary to build with non-pore mushroom blocks. It does not make sense for Silk Touch to fail to properly harvest mushroom blocks, and it makes even less sense that even commands to obtain special mushroom blocks have them reverted upon placement. --WolfieMario 01:26, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Fixed/skipped n Tripwire hooks will not connect to floating tripwires, or any tripwire strands that include floating tripwires, when there is a block directly underneath either, or both of the two tripwire hooks.

Items
Bugs ! any item can be turned into Infinite stacks, if placed into a Storage Minecart, then driven into an End Portal. --Kizzycocoa 11:19, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

undefined Duplication bug: When surrounding more than one map with paper, the crafting output slot presents as many maps as are in the input slot. When these maps are taken from the output slot, only one map is removed from the input slot. For example, if you attempt to zoom a stack of 64 maps using the crafting recipe, you will get 64 zoomed maps, and keep 63 of the original map, at the cost of 8 paper. Thus you essentially almost double the amount of maps you have. --WolfieMario 21:46, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

a When a map is placed on an item frame, the location of the frame is denoted with a green cursor if the frame is within the mapped region. However, if the frame is off-map, then it is denoted as a white circle, the same symbol used by players off-map. Perhaps a green circle should be added to reduce confusion? --WolfieMario 21:46, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

a In my opinion, the aesthetics of dyed leather armor are severely crippled by forcing them to contain non-dyed parts. While this may be to reduce confusion in PvP, the same could be achieved just by changing the texture, without forcing dyed leather armor to still prominently display brown. Alternatively, a mechanic could somehow be implemented where both components of leather armor can be dyed, allowing for more aesthetic choice rather than less (one possibility is crafting two leather armor together - another would be to dye leather itself, and craft leather onto armor for colored trim). It doesn't make sense that your character can't dye all of the leather on the armor - it's all the same material, isn't it? --WolfieMario 01:14, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Very strongly agree. As currently implemented this is definitely a backwards step; there's not much point making things dyeable if you can't fully control their colour. The old dyeable leathers looked quite good as actual clothes, the new ones, especially the helmet, make Steve look like a racing driver. I'd be delighted to have both options available; could the old clothes be reinstated, possibly as new crafting recipes for wool or something? --Simons Mith[82.69.54.207] 02:16, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Fixed/skipped n I consider this a major bug because I spent a lot of time finding and obtaining these items. As of 12w39b, all of my carrot and potato items completely disappeared. This affected Potato, Carrot, Poison Potato, Golden Carrot, and Carrot on a Stick... In addition a storage minecart that included these items also completely disappeared. Night vision and Invisibility potions also disappeared. Can anyone else confirm this happened to them, or expand on explaining the issue.
 * This affects inventory items and crops that were planted before 12w39b.
 * Sounds like you may have opened the map in an older version that didn't have these items? It would cause exactly this. — [[Image:Mojang_AB_logo.png|13px]] Dinnerbone(T) 08:18, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * You sir are correct. Well dang, looks like that mistake cost me all my carrots and most of my potatoes.

Mobs/NPCs/animals
Bugs x Wild ocelots act like tamed cats, they keep teleporting near the player and killings chicken (not sure if the second one is intentional). This can, sometimes, lead to major lag and eventually game crash (high number of Ocelots teleporting near the player in a jungle biome, for example). They even teleport when out of the jungle biome or underground (like tamed Cats).

When I am standing on top of it and facing it, the spiders all pile up in the airspace, and all is ok. The moment I turn around, all the spiders are outside and attacking me. In previous versions this was just a visual glitch, but the spiders were still in the airspace, now they have moved through solid blocks. --BeansAndPixels 16:24, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Were those solid blocks wooden planks? If so, I bet you were looking in the direction of an item frame when you turned around. --Obi-Wahn 16:52, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Fixed/skipped f 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)
 * This bug is still prevalent in 12w39b. This will be troublesome if it makes it to full release - I'm sure mapmakers will incorporate cobblestone walls in villages, and discover all the villagers die because they get stuck against the walls all night. --MegaScience 23:39, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Graphical/lighting
Bugs

undefined The player's legs do not line up properly with the torso. It seems that each leg is set back a few pixels, and each leg is set inward a few pixels (legs overlap one another on their inner face). --Gilmoreja 06:46, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

undefined Will the black flickering mobs, chests and player hand ever be fixed? This is really annoying. Happens since the lighting changed in Beta 1.8. Still the same in 12w39b. Graphics card is a Radeon X1650 but I know this also happens with Intel cards. More details here.

! Ever since the 1.8 lighting update, my lighting has been seriously messed up, especially at night. During the day, lighting is normal. However, at night, the lighting changes drastically. To describe it, it seems that the light limits have been reversed. At the surface, it's still tied to a sun light level, that is, the surface is lit up like sunlight, even though the sky is black and starry. And for caves, the lighting is restricted to moonlight, but still has gradation, as in, there are 16 notable values. This seriously breaks gameplay at night, as you can't see anything in caves without a good bit of lighting. It also breaks light beacons on the surface. I have no idea how this got by, as it seems like a glaring mistake; maybe you can figure it out!

undefined Pistons will not let any light through while closed, they will let some light through when open (as shown in Dinnerbone's twitter screenshot), and they will let full light through while closing, which looks really bad. --GALAKTOSTalk – Win8RPx64, Java7u7x64, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 14:57, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The full light thing has been in the game for a while, but it is annoying. Also, pistons don't let light through the base, only through the head.  Pokechu22 23:25, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

a!Appear to have problems with lighting in the Nether in 12w39b. As in, there are no "live" lighting updates when placing a torch. You have to leave and re-enter the Nether for it to recalculate. Even then, doesnt work properly. Doesnt prevent blazes from spawning in a extremely torch spammed area. Youtube video to follow. Anyone with same problem/able to reproduce on their game(s)? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHWdHXo0Hm8&feature=youtu.be -- Avidkaos999 08:06, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Fixed/skipped f Farmland exhibits very dark lighting in the sunlight, version 12w39a. Not sure if this was fixed in 12w39b, didn't see it mentioned as a bug yet. Win7SP1x64 Java 7u7x64, NVIDIA GeForce 610M --CapSAR273 14:37, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It was fixed in 12w39b, but you have to wait for or force a lighting update. --Obi-Wahn 17:05, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

f In the Nether, there are some lighting bugs such as glowstone not producing light.
 * Reworded for clarity.

s In Minecraft 12w39b the lighting on wooden planks is off as well, not just stairs, and for some reason the top chest is darker than the bottom one in my house. I will try to figure out how to upload photos or link them here. Pashta 03:34, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * As mentioned in the snapshot blog post; smooth lighting does not currently work with slabs/stairs. — [[Image:Mojang_AB_logo.png|13px]] Dinnerbone(T) 08:28, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * But it was working fine before this update... I didn't change any settings. ?? I just went and checked and when I turned smooth lighting off it was  actually worse. Smooth lighting ON:[] Smooth lighting OFF:[]Pashta 23:14, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

n In Minecraft snapshot 12w39a the lighting on the stairs is a bit off but seems better in 12w39b. --Ash Avalon 21:20, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't see the issue. This is the intentional look. Remember that with smooth lighting off, things don't blend in that well. — [[Image:Mojang_AB_logo.png|13px]] Dinnerbone(T) 08:28, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Sounds
Bugs !My sounds have now been severely mauled with the new sound engine. The sounds are ground out, with 90% loud static, even with clicking on the main menu. And the music sounds like a nightmare when it plays, no missing it with music on there! The issue only occurs with 12w28b and later, previous releases and snapshots still work fine. --Wormy14 12:46, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

!no player sounds at all like walking, menu sounds. no animal sounds cow pig sheep, chickens work. also none made the walking sound at all. all worked fine until the 38 week release with new sounds

undefinedsu Fire extinguish sound does not play in survival, it only works in creative. (Present since 1.3 snapshots) Masa 16:12, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

undefined If you occupy the same block as a sitting wolf you get continual footstep sounds even though neither you nor the wolf are moving. Easiest to demonstrate when the wolf is in a corner. May well apply to sharing space with any mob.--82.69.54.207 01:52, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

f Skeletons make a continuous aggravating and very loud sound when stuck in water flow, most notably when in caves at the bottom of a pit where a water fall is occurring. Began happening when the new sounds were introduced.

Menus
Bugs undefined When turning fullscreen off or on in the video settings then hitting F11 to switch back it doesn't work and the fullscreen status is incorrect (assuming was correct in the first place) e.g. it says 'Fullscreen: ON' when in windowed mode.

Annoyances a Now that the other wooden stair types has been added, the "Building Blocks" section needs to be reordered, also Oak Wood Stairs needs to go right before Spruce Wood Stairs. Image: http://h9.abload.de/img/2012-07-05_19.05.556px8y.png

Annoyances asmp? When you die, pressing the respawn button will take several seconds before you respawn or won't respawn at all. Not sure if this is a bug or it is caused by lag. NeedAGoodUsername 20:24, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * This is caused by lag. I know this because on some laggy servers, when i die, it takes several seconds to respawn or for anything to happen. Trigger hurt 15:18, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Chat/commands
Bugs undefined When you take a screenshot and open chat in multiplayer, then click the screenshot name, Minecraft treats it as a link. Pressing Yes in the dialog that follows, will cause your web browser to open the link, without any http://, https://, file:/// or any other prefixes. Screenshot

undefined Sometimes the server glitches out and makes you talk as someone else.

undefined You can not use command blocks to op/deop someone, or switch a gamemode. You may not be able to use other commands as well. Pokechu22 23:11, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure that this is intentional; give the Command Block article a read. Though you should be able to change game mode.  LB ( T 00:40, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
