!!When reloading a world, sometimes worlds will be blank, nothing generates, sometimes results a crash. It is annoying when you have a "holy" world and then this bug happens. 50.99.220.1 22:47, 25 May 2012 (UTC) undefined


 * There have been many similar reports of the same issue. All have been moved to the talk page. Commonly reported symptoms are:
 * empty worlds
 * falling past y=-64 without dying
 * mobs also falling
 * spawning under bedrock
 * spawning 'inside' blocks - move the right way, and you enter the world normally, guess wrong and you fall out of the world
 * A possible temporary fix:
 * Backup your world file before trying this, but for a temporary fix navigate to the world that is broken and delete the "level.dat_old" file ;)
 * For further information, please see the talk page.--Simons Mith 16:03, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

 * every now and again someone posts one of these. Vote to remove it. --Mattrition 12:47, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not familiar with the signs of an unbought copy but if it is a sure sign this is a case where it can be removed without a vote. --Moxxy 12:53, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I doubt it's an infallible sign of piracy, as anti-virus programs can cause similar misbehaviour. As a tech support problem, rather than posting on the bug tracker, better places to look for help are Mojang's help pages and the Minecraft Help FAQ, and the many further resources linked from those two areas. If the OP can reproduce the problem and show what causes it, then posting the report could be helpful. But if they just want to work round it, probably better to try the support channels. --Simons Mith 15:28, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

!! When creating a new SP world sometimes, it crashes with this crash report: undefined
 * I just wraped your crash report in the template, ok? ;D--201.68.164.89 22:01, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

!! When reloading a world generated in the 12w21b snapshot I get crash reports about exceptions in some server tick loop which make the world unplayable! The crash is always a variation on the same error about "Already decorating!!" --BrickVoid 22:30, 27 May 2012 (UTC):

!! Went to sleep in a 1 x 3 room with a height of 2, woke up being suffocated. Quit to main menu. Now the world will not reload, it will always either hit the fall-through-world bug or go to a black screen. I was playing on a large biomes map. Tried replicating this bug on a standard biomes map and was not able to duplicate it. The room may have been 1 x 2, but I doubt it. There were other existing beds in the world. See the crash log.

Annoyances
a When loading/generating a world, it does not show the loading bar, only the dirt background is visible.
 * Giving the user feedback on level generation is an important part of good UI design. I suspect its disappearance is actually a bug. Re-grade to undefined? --Simons Mith 01:17, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This issue is just the game loading the level, possibly related to the level "corruption" bug. I'd have to check. Anyways, not a major annoyance. --Wormy14 05:57, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

a Server lag in single player games.
 * Issues in the Annoyances section should be labeled properly. Downgrading to annoyance.  06:14, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Bugs
! Game does not pause while in game(pause) menu allowing time to pass and monsters to still attack.
 * Not a bug, a known and expected consequence of switching the game to server-like mode even for single player. But Mojang acknowledge it's unpopular and are looking to give us our pause facility back. I don't have the citation about this handy, sorry. Think it was dinnerbone --82.69.54.207 18:54, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a bug and somewhat major as it greatly deviates from the previous behaviour of the game being pauseable in SP. Reclassifying it as such. --EvilSeph 07:52, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Just to say, if you think there is a better way in which we can classify these bugs between low and high priority ourselves instead of what we are trying to do here, then we'd love to know about it, so that we can help you sort through these huge lists easier! --Mattrition 11:21, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

! If you create a world, drop an item, and delete the world, then create another world with exactly the same seed, the dropped items will be invisible but still available to pick up. This applies especially to bonus chests - if a player repeatedly deletes and starts new worlds with the same seeds, multiple bonus chests will appear close to each other.

! If you make a chest and then go to The Nether when you return the chest will be gone along with everything in it and any items in other chests that you moved or used for crafting reappear. This also happens if you go on long journeys and then come back.

undefined Quitting while in The End while the enderdragon is still alive will result in the spawning of a second enderdragon upon reloading the world.

undefined? Skeletons, Zombies, and Zombie Pigmen are immune to splash potions.
 * Which type? Those three enemies are undead and therefore immune to certain types of splash potions. --Moxxy 01:47, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Splash potions have reverse effects on the undead. Healing splash potions will harm them and poison splash potions will heal them.  08:17, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This requires a bit more testing by someone, bug to me its pretty clear that the user got a bit confused by the special circumstances of undead. --Mattrition 11:21, 28 May 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 The End Poem shows every time after entering the End Portal in The End, not just once after defeating the Ender Dragon. --Kumasasa 07:07, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined Logging in to a single player world in offline mode results in the player being back at spawn and with an empty inventory. Probably due to "Player" being different than the username for online mode.

undefined cr TNT and paintings drop when destroyed in creative.

undefined Mating villagers don't show hearts around them.
 * Are you sure you don't just have particle effects turned off? This graphical issue keeps being erroneously posted. Also, since your a registered user, you should really sign your submissions. See the instructions, its a very short read! --Mattrition 16:49, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined Mobs walk through walls.
 * Please try to label bugs properly, sign them, put them in the right order (descending order of severity), and try not to muck up the formatting of other bugs already posted. --Simons Mith 01:24, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a poor report anyway. There's not enough information to be in any way helpful. Vote to remove unless more information is given --Mattrition 10:15, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined If you have a stack of buckets greater than the number of empty inventory slots, if you fill them up once your inventory is full any buckets filled after inventory is full will be dropped.

undefined In SSP, kicking can occur when you simply type a command a lot, such as /xp, regardless of whether you are an OP or not. --Wormy14 07:31, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined Villager trading seems to randomly pick items from the creative mode menu and select it as an item, leading to normally unavailable items now being present in survival, such as chain armor and bottles of enchantment. --Wormy14 07:52, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Pretty sure you are supposed to get these types of items through trading. It makes this particular aspect of the game a bit special. --Mattrition 10:18, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances
a Trading is absolutely unbalanced and can be game breaking. Some examples:
 * emerald ore is around twice as rare as diamond in hills biomes, so a compass costs around 10 emeralds = 20 diamonds, on the other hand, you can get 1 emerald for 25 paper, which is cheap when having a sugar cane farm.
 * Diamond tools last 8 times longer and are faster than iron ones, but only cost around 30% more than iron when buying it from the blacksmith.they should be at least 8 times more expensive.
 * most extreme one is endereyes, since they might be hard to get at the beginning, but both ingredients are easily farmable, so that a 2:1 trade ratio will give you nearly unlimited emeralds when having a blaze and endermen farm.
 * you need 3 diamonds to trade one emerald, but at the same time you get it for 25 paper.
 * on the end, it might take totally away the need for mining, since you can basically beat the game/ enderdragon with an wheat or sugar cane farm near a village
 * easiest way to fix this might be to open a discussion on reddit/minecraft for balanced trading rates and to let the villagers adjust their prices simply from supply and demand
 * One iron axe is certainly not worth 7 emeralds, 3 bread aren't worth 1 emerald... C ali nou - talk × contribs » 14:30, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably to encourage you to keep on farming and mining. - Mustek 12:18, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Farming and mining != Nolifeing, sorry. It's still unbalanced. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 16:46, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * At the moment I completely agree with Calinou, but this is surely just an early 'proof of concept' version of the trading system. I mean, it's obvious the prices bear no resemblance to items' established in-game values. But I actually think the trading system's main weakness is the usual one merchants in computer games seem to have; they have infinite liquidity and infinite stock. If you've got 20 stacks of wheat, you can get a stack of emeralds. For 1,000 stacks, you can get 50. Combine that with the current crazy prices and it utterly scrambles game balance. If you had sane pricing, and the NPCs had limited stock or a limited production rate and limited cash for buying items from the player, the damage to the game economy would be greatly mitigated. --82.69.54.207 23:29, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * At this point I believe that these functions are completely random, the above is just a result of that user's luck. So it would not be a major annoyance. --Wormy14 06:14, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

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

a Running a local server does not work. Very annoying. Please fix ASAP. (Or, please show a tutorial on how to set one up!)
 * Singleplayer is done through a local server, but there's no way you can invite someone if that's what you mean. - Mustek 17:14, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I think that this feature hasn't been implemented yet, perhaps it will be implemented soon. --Wormy14 19:36, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Please explain, I've running a server and a client on one machine very well. --Kumasasa 06:48, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * As of now, you can't invite someone in singleplayer. However, if you are trying to host a proper server like one normally would then you may have to search for a guide to setting one up. --Wormy14 06:14, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

a Sometimes, the new Pyramids do not spawn at all!
 * You mean you haven't come across one yet? This is an awful report: No info, just a confusing complaint. Vote to remove. --Mattrition 12:40, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, there's simply no point keeping this report as it currently is. How do you prove the problem, how do you reproduce it? Give the OP a day or two to respond, and if no further data comes up we might as well remove the report. --82.69.54.207 23:40, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This is just a turn of luck, try searching some more. --Wormy14 06:14, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

a I accidently played a 12w21b generated level in 1.2.5 and cheats were turned off when I played again in 12w21b. You should be able to turn cheats on and off in options.

Fixed/Skipped
F undefined Shot arrows scoot up to the top of the block it was shot on.

F undefined On a server running 12w21b, when logging off, the "Disconnect" button says "Save and Quit to title," which is meant for single player mode. - palmertm

F undefined crIn the new Creative Inventory in the tab Redstone there is the Redstone Torch in off mode and when you place it is will be off until you place a block near it.
 * That's a major annoyance?? I vote to downgrade. --82.69.54.207 18:54, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Second vote to downgrade; isn't entirely an annoyance, as it allows you to place redstone torches in prebuilt circuits without pulse-activating them. 90.45.157.143 09:53, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged Duplicate) I was looking in the creative mode new inventory when i looked under redstone there is an off state redstone torch and it does nothing, to find redstone torch it is under decoration.
 * To clarify this, the off-state redstone torch is a technical block and it shouldn't be obtainable.  15:14, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Bugs
! Sometimes redstone torches will burn out until a game/server restart. It seems like it 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)

x When mining blocks there is a chance it will not drop what the block is. (i.e. Mining stone will be dropped as a dirt block) --easton39 12:09, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Does it pick up as stone or dirt? And does the tool used correspond to what you are mining, or what block it drops? --Wormy14 07:14, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined in the new snapshot, when you mine a block, the loot will become invisible before it touches the ground. it's still there. It's just invisible. very frustrating because you sometimes get the idea that the mined block didn't drop anything. I know for sure it happens with the new emerald ore block.

x Blocks placed in empty chunks in the end are invisible until reconnecting.

x Locked Chests have a purple texture all over as a result of the old Chest textures being removed. ISQ Talk 16:14, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * There's no legit way to obtain these, so not a bug. - Mustek 17:15, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It is a bug, even if it is not possible to legitly obtain them. Also, if you read the instructions at the top, you would know that  (?) is NOT to be used for "not a bug". LikeLakers2 20:07, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I just opened up Snapshot 12w21b and used /give MegaScience 95. It gave me the item. This is all Vanilla - No third party programs, modifications, or hacking. It does use Cheats, but it is obtainable in the default game. Therefore, it belongs here to some extent. MegaScience 13:46, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * You can also get a load of technical blocks using the /give command that behave weirdly and can be completely useless. But we are not listing the ability to get any of these items as bugs. That's just how that cheat command works; it's originally designed as a debugging tool and we should treat it as such. --Mattrition 13:35, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined It's a feature that mushrooms can't be planted in sunlight other than on Mycelium, but there is a bug where mushrooms cannot be planted in moonlight, either. TorchicBlaziken 20:51, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the game thinks that the light outside during night time is still 15.  06:19, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined Water buckets may fail to pour in certain chunks, apparently within close proximity of the spawn point, then magically refill if you right click again, or you close and reopen your world. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv7ket0oXyc for an example. BFeely 00:12, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I believe this is a lag-related issue. --Wormy14 07:37, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Could it also be related to spawn point protection? That's the only thing I can think of that connects the issue to spawn point proximity. --Mattrition 09:53, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined Pistons drop themselves when the piston extension is destroyed in creative.
 * Oops, forgot to add sig. --Wormy14 11:25, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances
a Redstone circuits over longer distances are failing to work properly, they used to before the preview versions.

a Minecraft keeps deleting blocks placed in a specific area, when I move too far away or leave the world.

a If redstone wire is placed on the side of a block and there is a dispenser underneath the side of the block the redstone wire will attach to the dispenser.
 * What do you mean by "attach"? Do you mean that redstone can be placed on a dispenser? Dispensers are solid blocks and redstone is supposed to be placed on solid blocks. This allows for compact redstone contraptions using dispensers (see Etho's brewing room).It doesn't sound like an issue to me. Vote to remove. <[[User:MCKMan|

a Standing too close to the spot where you are trying to place a block (as in, being in contact with the edge of where the block will be) can cause it to flicker and disappear instantly. ExDeuce 21:22, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Isn't this a minor bug? --Simons Mith 01:39, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The classification between a bug and annoyance is rather fuzzy, and should be clarified. I can also confirm this bug with any block on singleplayer, and while occupying any stair or slab block on multiplayer, when it should place (because you would be in the air part of the block), it flickers the same way too. --Wormy14 06:40, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

a Dispensers only place/pick up fluid on the upward edge. Maybe place on upward edge, pick up on downward edge? --Dsteinkoenig 00:01, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Then again, would mess up buttons. --Dsteinkoenig 00:03, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

a Mushrooms seem to spawn on top of leaves, even in direct sunlight. Only observed with red mushrooms ExDeuce 08:40, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

a Snow disappears a tick later than the block below of it. Seems to be one of the known "lagging" issues. --91.60.251.24 14:23, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

a Mushrooms cant be placed on any block other than mycelium
 * You misspelled mycelium. And this is a feature. Jeb made it so that mushrooms in daylight can only be placed on that block.  17:04, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Downgraded, that's intended. --Galaxy_2Alex (Talk)
 * I kinda feel this should be removed altogether because its just plain wrong. You can place mushrooms not on other blocks if its dark enough. --Mattrition 11:51, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

a Long distance redstone circuits seem to not work properly in this version, they've always worked fine though now the working distance has been just about halved. The signal issue occurs at any repeater where it will not respond after the signal has traveled a certain distance. Max distance I got was around 158 blocks when the circuit usually works spanning up to around 283 blocks. Even more than 280 blocks would be great in the next version as I can expand the circuit even bigger. (sorry if I've formatted this wrong its my first ever bug report) Chris 121.219.230.247

a If you jump on a planted farmland block, sometimes wheat doesn't disappear and is still growing on dirt. Further more it is possible to plant grass on farmland (but i think, the second point is rather an opinion; should be discussed). --91.49.40.238 11:38, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * WEED? Really, dude? Weed? ಠ_ಠ. It's "Wheat". Corrected for clarity.  13:48, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances
a! There are so many items that lack value and yet, we end up relying on a new ore for the villager trading system. It's almost as if there was a desperate attempt to add a new ore into the game. It's been said that all items will have a use, but I still see them being useless. There are plenty of other ores that could benefited us more. Gold, is a rather useless item and is often avoided. It's no reason why it finally couldn't get its shine with the new trading system. Another words, please make all items become useful before you start adding new ones. (Trenix 14:44, 26 May 2012 (UTC))
 * I second that. We should use gold as currency, maybe crafting golden coins with gold.--201.68.164.89 18:10, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I was thinking about gold nuggets. That way gold nuggets and even gold ingots will carry much value. It'll also make plenty of sense because they are commonly used as currency to begin with. Would be cool trading like ingots are the value of a dollar and nuggets are cents. That's something you can't do with emeralds.(Trenix 01:11, 27 May 2012 (UTC))
 * I second that, too! It's still an opinion, but also an annoyance in terms of the unbalanced values of items. --91.49.40.238 11:48, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Since a lot of people agree this is an issue, I'll give it major annoyance status (I think its a good point to make, too) --Mattrition 12:40, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

a Flint and Steel is called "Flint and Steel" but the recipe requires the steel above and diagonal to the flint (e.g. as if it were called "Steel and Flint"). It's just unintuitive.

Fixed/Skipped
F undefined Soul Sand is missing from the creative inventory.

F undefined Monster Egg blocks (silverfish spawning blocks) are not all available in the creative inventory, only the Stone kind.

Bugs
! When entering the End, you are kicked for moving too quickly, which is probably because when spawning in the End you always spawn at specific coordinates. When you relog you are in the same coordinates you were in the Overworld which means you fall into the Void. TorchicBlaziken 20:47, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

!? In rare cases blocks spawn in areas where they should not exist (ex. floating Glowstone close to spawn in World Seed 1)
 * I cannot seem to replicate this bug, do you have any coordinates?
 * I had the same issue in 12w18a. The glowstone that is generated is client-side and only graphically there (if you break it, it will yield the block it replaced e.g. If it generated over dirt, it will yield dirt).  13:51, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I think we need a bit more information. What were doing before it happened? Can you reproduce it yourself?
 * I was returning from the nether at that time. The glowstone generated in the wall of my house. The house was made out of coobble and mossy. When I tried to break the glowstone, it dropped the blocks it was replacing (air, cobble, mossy and dirt). No matter how hard I tried I couldn't make it happen again as the OP mentioned, this happens rarely. I will provide a screenshot as soon as I get on the PC (I am currently on my mobile phone).  20:00, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined Just like abandoned mineshafts were before the floors were implemented, strongholds generate weirdly when they cross a ravine. The seed -623160645725253637 is a good example of this with a stronghold in a hole close to spawn which crosses an underground ravine. TorchicBlaziken 22:00, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

x Sometimes villages do not properly spawn (houses get cut off) and reloading the world sometimes creates a void with mobs in place or falling. Reloading it a few more times will fix this however.

undefined Large amounts of apples and saplings will spawn all over trees and bushes in both forest and jungle biomes, trees could be generating twice with the first being destroyed as the second overwrites it and the apples and saplings are droped when the leaves break.

undefined Pyramids can spawn in villages and overwrite parts of houses as seen in the seed 1 and at the coordinates X:-167 Y:73 Z:-276 ExDeuce 09:08, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * A much more extreme case occurs on the seed 6134004003088420500 at the coordinates x of 139, y of 76, and z of 235. In this case, the village and the pyramid mesh into each other. --MegaScience 09:13, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

aIf the difficulty is above peaceful sometimes mobs spawn inside the treasure room in the pyramid and blow up the treasures.
 * Yes, perhaps the sandstone floor should be replaced with sandstone top slabs. TorchicBlaziken 20:47, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Slabs would prevent the pressure plate, though. Maybe just light the area very well. It's hard to find a balance, but mobs blowing up the treasure before you even get there is not good. --MegaScience 23:22, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined Slimes that spawn as a result of splitting a slime will pretty commonly (about a 1 in 5 chance) be the incorrect size. Examples: Splitting a large slime will sometimes produce small slimes, splitting a medium slime will sometimes produce large slimes, etc. Also occurs with Magma Cubes.
 * Unless a bug renders the game unplayable or nearly so, it's not a major bug. So this is not a major bug. --82.69.54.207 18:47, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Reclassifying as major. If all or most of the 30+ slimes actually can hurt you, then it is a major bug. Critical is what would be classifying as unplayable, not major. LikeLakers2 14:41, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It's still not a major a bug. It leads to annoying situations, yes, but it won't screw your game up and you will be able to carry on just fine. Check this page for more information. --Mattrition 12:22, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined Enraged Endermen don't have their bottom jaw (at least in creative - haven't tried in survival). (P.S., should this be in graphics or here?) 50.46.250.128 00:04, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is a bug. Endermen don't open their mouths in multiplayer, and since multiplayer has been merged with singleplayer, the bug is now there.

undefined Villagers don't close doors that were opened by the player any more. Previously, when it was night and they all went inside, they would close the doors, and when I entered they would automatically re-close the door for me and keep the mobs out. Now they leave the doors open and creepers walk in.
 * This may be intentional. As far as possible the game is set up not to interfere with player actions. So if you leave a door open, the game assumes you want it open, and the villagers will no longer interfere. On the whole, having them behave this way, rather than 'helpfully' closing doors you might not want closed, is preferable. --Simons Mith 01:36, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined Villagers appear to drop through a single layer of gravel when they bump into a wall while walking on gravel. This appears to be only visual, as their hitbox remains on the same level.

 * I think this is actually a bug and not an annoyance since isn't supposed to work this way.
 * Yes, bug. [GP] Please don't misclassify bugs as annoyances, no matter how minor they are, even if there's a workaround. Also, in 12w21a, sheep apparently all go back to white if they're in a chunk that gets unloaded, so you'd have to keep re-shearing them. You can also have sheared sheep appearing as unsheared, and that is a nuisance. --82.69.54.207 23:33, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

a Mob path-finding seems to have gone backwards in some ways, or else their aggression has been reduced. The picture shows a double mob spawner producing zombies and skeletons. Even though there are steps upwards to reach the player, most of the mobs turn right and right again (from their point of view) and disappear down the tunnel to the left of the picture, and don't return. Sometimes a zombie will come up the steps and attack, but only about 20% of the time even at the distance shown in the picture. The rest of the time the zombies ignore me, and the skeletons take a couple of pot shots then walk off! Yes, I'd expect the skeletons not to venture into daylight, but the zombies are almost as lazy. Are the monsters (particularly zombies) supposed to be this tolerant of an adventurer hanging out on their very doorstep? --82.69.54.207 00:55, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I am willing to bet that they just don't notice you from that distance. I'm going to move this to an annoyance because the issue is rather vague: A possible over-simplicity of aggressive mob behaviour. --Mattrition 10:07, 29 May 2012 (UTC)



a Mobs can escape from one block thick walls which makes it difficult to build mob grinders and ranches for animals. Especially with two or more block high mobs, they sometimes will have the bottom half of them in a block and move around, allowing them to escape 1x1 openings. This happens constantly with NPCs. ~Cm283

a Sometimes mobs appear to walk sideways.

a Leaving a village with a golem and returning to it after it unloads from the map sometimes reloads another golem (I built 1 Golem for a village of 9 in hardcore, left, came back to 2, left again, came back to 4.)

Bugs
undefined If the player dies and respawns, their skin will be reset to the 'Steve?' default skin. I know that normally when you die, your skin is reset, but when you respawn, you get your skin back. Such is not the casse in 12w21b. Not tested in multiplayer, so unknown if other players see this skin.
 * That's been around since 12w19a. Simple solution: Exit the world and go back in. You get your skin back. I don't think this is a MAJOR bug.

 * For a very long time, there was no legit way to view the seed; I think this is intended, so that people can disable the possibility to view the seed. --GALAKTOSTalk – Win8βx64, Java7x64, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 13:46, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It is most definitely intended. Although not a big issue, its still a bit frustrating if you can't view the seed of your singleplayer world because you didn't want cheats on --Mattrition 12:40, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * You can work around the problem by having a seed-choosing system and embedding the seeds into the save name when you generate a world. For example, you might use the Mojang splash text messages as game seeds - e.g. use a seed of 'Colormatic' and save the world as 'Colormatic creative'. That way, you know the seed, so you can re-create the world at will, and 'Colormatic' is just as likely to be an interesting world as whatever random seed the computer might select. --Simons Mith 17:20, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

a Difficulty settings are in two disconnected places - you have Creative/Survival/Hardcore in one place and Peaceful, Easy, Normal, Hard in another. Could these be grouped together in the UI, please? For example, you can play Hard + Creative, and under those settings zombies can break down villagers' doors, whereas you get different mob behaviour from playing in Peaceful + Creative mode. --Simons Mith 17:20, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined When trading with villagers and putting enough emeralds in and still not be able to trade unless you take the stack and put it back in.
 * Actually it goes like this: The trading system checks for the first time you put emeralds in. For example if you put them one by one the game thinks you only put one in there. Dropping the whole stack in there should fix the problem (having 10 emeralds in the inventory before trading). <MCKMan> 17:13, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Ex. You have a golden sword in your Survival inventory and shift click it to your hotbar, the golden sword will not appear in your hotbar in the creative inventory. It's still there, but you have to press the chest icon again to update it.
