Gameplay
Bugs

! Entering a nether portal caused the screen to go black and the player was dying. He exited the game and logged back in and died. Looking at the server log I pulled this: undefined Notice the Y:-82. The server is running Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit sun java 32bit), 2GB RAM (1.5GB for minecraft), SSD HD.-jc2xs- 50.77.77.102 14:47, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) Entering a nether portal will sometimes (about 1/3 of the time) spawn you into the void. --this_thadd 14:39, 24 July 2012 (UTC) (downgraded to annoyance, I'll let the regulars chose the severity, this is the same issue as reported below by gh0straider)
 * Upgrading bug to major and removing multiplayer tag. --Nathan2055 15:22, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) When entering the over world from the nether, if you move while the screen is black, you will be stuck, then fall into the void. If you quit then restart, there will be a giant world hole. If you quit then restart again, it will be gone.

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.

undefined Vines, tall grass, or lily pads held in third-person (F5) appear gray

undefined Running on leaves produces grey particles.

undefined Boats still exhibit glitchy behaviour when pushed against walls. -- 14:25, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined When in a boat, opening and closing your inventory in survival mode will cause the players arm to be rotated improperly. -- 14:51, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Firing arrows from a bow in superflat worlds can be glitchy. This happens when a superflat world is first generated; is fixed upon re-log. -- 15:14, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Zombies inch forward very slowly for 3-4 seconds after being hit with a sword. -- 15:49, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefinedmp When teleporting to the nether the server lags. A noticeable spike on the server client appears also. Screenshot: [] --derksthename

undefined (12w30_B_): Block breaking speed is not properly controlled by the server. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1371155-12w30b-snapshot-ready-for-testing/page__st__160#entry16728430 Specific issue: A line of gravel blocks, two clients, and diamond shovels vs. hands. Both clients are 1.42 GHz PPC's; one has the server, one does not. The one with the server gets a significantly lower frame rate. Breaking by hand, they are almost the same speed. Breaking by diamond shovel, the lower frame rate computer runs much, much slower. --Keybounce 17:52, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined With some bed placements, you fall out of the bed instead of sleeping in the bed. See File:Falloutofbed.png to reproduce this. Seems like some part of the game code still thinks the player is standing, so it's trying to prevent him from suffocating by pushing him away in some direction. -- 79.235.239.111 20:47, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined (12w30_b_) Two clients (an i7, a PPC) connecting to an i7 host; both playing with boats. The 6-10 fps PPC has better control and less jerkey-ness when turning than the 25-33 fps i7. Neither has good control at near-0 boat speed. Both will see the other boat move properly, and will _sometimes_ see the other person move with the boat, and sometimes not see any movement of the other person at all. --Keybounce 21:32, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Attempted to teleport while in a boat. Expected behavior: Teleport to new location, keeping facing, staying in the boat. Actual result: Out of boat, same location, not teleported, however the message from the server says I am teleported. Oh, and sinking down into the glub water.

--Keybounce 21:32, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined When a boat is placed, it seems to always face west (sunset, f:1). Regardless of your facing when you place it.

undefined Boat race: Three machines, an i7 (host), a PPC/9200 (two machine hop to host), a PPC/9550 (one machine hop to host -- same wifi).

All three machines started at the same speed. At some point, the PPC/9200 dropped behind the others. Speed of all three stayed the same until one boat hit an obstacle and sank.

i7/Macbook pro did NOT stop when the up arrow was released -- two tests, about 40 seconds constant "forward", and on release it kept going (apparently did not see the key-up.)

--Keybounce 21:32, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined 12w30_c_: Logging into my server as a new user gave me a spawn point near the "normal" spawn point. That's an old annoyance. But it gave me a spawn point in the water, not on land -- that's a bug. --Keybounce 22:13, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Ordinary users cannot _INTERACT_ with blocks near spawn -- fence gates that give you a safe area, chests with supplies, etc -- cannot close the gates, cannot get supplies out the chests, etc.

It's one thing to disable block alteration/breaking. But opening/closing doors/gates/chests?

a The player doesn't get moved/pushed by other mobs/entities (including other players), while this happened in 1.2.5 and before. Might have to do with the singleplayer/multiplayer merge. (or is it intended?) --Gmfreaky 15:37, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This is intended behavior, that was changed last week to fix players being pushed around by animals. --Nathan2055 15:49, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * How is that fixing? I thought mobs were supposed to push the player, they push other mobs. By the way, this was not fixed last week, it has been this way since the singleplayer/multiplayer merge. --Gmfreaky 17:21, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Because animals used to push players to the back of animal pins a lot, making it difficult to breed them (also, please keep it civil). --Nathan2055 17:38, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd call it a feature, it doesn't make sense to be able to walk through animals. Also, if you're not from Mojang, please don't mark bug reports as fixed, like stated in the instructions.--Gmfreaky 18:47, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Fine, downgraded to annoyance. --Nathan2055 20:19, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

a Even at full speed, with the accelerate key pressed, you cannot ram an enemy boat. It's bumper boats, not sinky boats. --Keybounce 21:32, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

a The builtin "speedhack" detection breaks elevators and other legitimate piston contraptions that transport a player at a speed of 10 blocks per second or greater. This used to be an issue on MP only, but now that the client is effectively a server as well, it affects SP too. (all my elevators are now broken) --Ntt 21:56, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

a The "spawn is not fixed" is a major annoyance, especially if spawn is on the hillside of a 20+ meter cliff -- people can spawn in two very different areas. --Keybounce 22:13, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

a When in a boat, lily pads can still break the boat if you hit it fast enough. May or may not be caused by hitting multiple lily pads one after another. --AnotherMinecraftLP 23:01, 24 July 2012 (UTC) Fixed/Skipped

Blocks
Bugs

undefinedpistons are allmost fixed but these piston elevator's still don't work properly. they push you up 5 block before you get stuck inside an extended piston arm.--League 19:47, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This is actually caused by the speedhack detection. See the annoyance in gameplay section. --Ntt 22:28, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined If you place a slab on top of an ice block, you will still slide when walking on the slab
 * Ice has always been that way, the slide effect extends half a block up, like the extra-tall effect of fences. --Acomputerdog 21:14, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined FallingSand entities spawned from Mob Spawners appear as Gold Ore. They appear as the correct block once settled. (Becoming normal blocks.) --MegaScience 15:00, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Update: It appears this has to do with the Dragon Eggs being Lava bug. FallingSand as TNT appears as Gold Ore. FallingSand as Cake appears as Sand. Should all be patched together with Dragon Eggs being fixed, I assume. --MegaScience 15:46, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) Mob Spawners set up spawn non-mob entities such as FallingSand or PrimedTNT will be misaligned and be incorrectly lit. MegaScience 15:00, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Merged duplicate reports. --Nathan2055 15:55, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances

a Breaking a block underwater doesn't show the breaking animation when standing above water a If you place a slab on a grass block (that has tall grass on it) from above (standing next to, looking down at where you are to place the slab), the game erases the grass and sets the block on the top half of the box. Common sense would say that the slab should replace the grass but be placed on the bottom half of the box. I assume this happens because the game uses the grass' bounding box to determine if the slab should be placed in the upper or lower half of the box --00:47, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Items
Bugs undefinedcr Duplicating items in survival tab of creative inventory. How to reproduce - place item to first 5 slots in row and item will appear in other slot in same row. Trying to wear armor also will duplicate it.(Just moving items duplicates them but they seem to be phantom items.) KosMos pv 15:22, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefinedcr Also in the survival tab of the creative mode inventory, items in the later slots in the row will appear 4 slots to the left and one row down in the inventory, overwriting any items that were there before. pretends2bnormal 14:31, 24 July 2012 (CST)

undefinedsu When the player right-clicks a stack of buckets to fill them, the number of buckets in the stack will not decrease until only one empty bucket is left. The buckets do not duplicate, it's just a graphical glitch. Elhessar 22:28, 24 July 2012 (UTC+1)

When attempting to use a stack of melons to fill hunger, the hunger bar does not increase but the entire stack is consumed. Yuki-nagato 21:37, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Bugs

undefinedmobs still fall trough the ground a lot. mostly npc's who sink halfway through the ground. Please fix this before 1.3. take your time. --League 19:16, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefinedAngry Wolves spawned from Custom/Modified Monster Spawners (wolf spawners that spawn wolves with an Anger tag of 1) will not attack the player unless the player attacks them first, rather than being auto-aggressive/hostile as angry wolves created normally (by hitting a wolf) are. This is regardless of the difficulty or gamemode. --AnotherMinecraftLP 15:48, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Mobs still appear to move out of crowded fence pens. Example: 60-70 chickens inside an 8 fence, 3x3 pen. Or 8-10 sheep inside a 12 fence, 4x4 pen (provides 4 grass for regrowing wool).

Note that this is now visual only -- unlike 125, the mobs are in the pens, and stay in when the server is shut down/restarted.

NB: Further testing shows that a 4x4 pen becomes "mostly stable", in the case of 10 sheep, and only "slightly leaky" in the case of 65-ish chickens. Much less than a 3x3 pen, but much harder to get those eggs. --Keybounce 22:56, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined I have two PPC macs. One with a 9200, one with a 9550. In the past (1.0/1.1), the 9200 was too slow to be playable, and the 9550 was barely playable with optifine. In 12w30_b_, both machines are playable, and the 9200 gets better frame rates than the 9550; the 9200 has some graphical glitches, but the better frame rate makes up for it. The 9200 seems to be trying to do less. I'd like the option to have my "better" card do less as well. (Mac mini, 9200; iBook G4, 9550.) http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1371155-12w30b-snapshot-ready-for-testing/page__st__160#entry16728430 --Keybounce 17:57, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Menus
Bugs

undefined After leaving the Multiplayer menu, the thread that scans for LAN servers does not get interrupted and sits there running (until a LAN server is found?). It is attempted to be interrupted, but it is in the middle of the scanning process and it waits until it gets a response as there is no timeout on the scan. This was observed in 12w26a, however I have not noticed it getting fixed in the changelogs since and figured I'd put it in this page so it gets noticed as I'm sure the 12w26a page isn't going to be looked at now. Better that it gets double checked than not noticed at all. Especially since the 1.3 release is in a couple days, no?

a! The Multiplayer menu freezes when clicking "Join Server" if the server IP does not specify a port that is not the default one (25565). In other words, a server with an IP like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port(not 25565) will work, but xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:25565 or mcserver.org as IP will freeze the menu, and show the ping as a high value such as 1000 ms, sometimes reaching 10000 ms. 184.33.223.71 23:24, 24 July 2012 (UTC)PrinceDeo
