Crashing/System
Bugs !! sp Minecraft crashed after placing a portal somewhere in the Nether and entering it. Again a NullPointerException, I have no idea what caused this issue... Here's the Error Log: --Galaxy_2Alex (Talk)

Annoyances

a!mp SMP server fairly regularly (once every three or four hours) drops all players (lost connection: disconnect.endOfStream) and shows many NullPoinerExceptions in the console, only visible from the stdout, never seen in the GUI console (partial stdout console output): http://pastebin.com/Fv8Fj8Xq
 * Have tried various different garbage collector schemes, none seem to help or hinder the symptoms, but the GUI console reports only 130 MB used, while the OS reports 700 MB used.
 * This player drop behavior can eventually lead to a situation where the server pegs at high CPU utilization, and cannot even respond to console commands. Only Ctrl-C or kill commands work. --Inertia 06:16, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

ampsu SMP servers running survival worlds are using 2 or more times more CPU than in the previous versions, often resulting in lots of "Can't keep up" errors and bad latency. This is only present on "regular" world types, possibly including large biomes. This issue is not present on super flat. --IPeer 17:10, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

ampsp If you click on the "Save and Quit" (singleplayer), or "Disconnect" (Multiplayer), and then click it again before the option goes, the game tries to disconnect you twice the game then crashes with null pointer exception because of this. This appears to happen every time. Crash report: http://pastebin.com/TJaWzTbj --2rockon 18:41, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Not a major annoyance, because you don't have to click it twice. I couldn't reproduce this either because the button disappeared almost instantly every time I clicked it once --Mattrition 09:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Gameplay
Bugs

! Last weeks snapshot had almost no lag at all. this weeks snapshot has a lot of redstone lag. also when you place lever the sound plays 1 second after you placed it. when you use the lever the animation happens a second after you use it.--League 17:35, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I second that the single player server is seriously out of sync with the client. Mined ore blocks pop into existence and vanish again. Slimes which used to hop regularly make now very irregular sounds (great to avoid sand worms :-) Items now take much longer to be picked up when standing near, etc, etc... [Incelebrity] 17:49, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I have noticed increased lag in SMP with several clients and a Linux 12.04 server running Sun Java. This also happens with just one client currently logged into the server on the same LAN as the server.  I have "can't keep up errors" in the server log.  Most of the time the lag is blocks not disappearing when branch mining.  Last weeks snapshot did not have these issues.jc2xs
 * Linux 12.04 meaning Ubuntu 12.04? -crh23
 * (Merged duplicate) Experiencing actual lag on singleplayer. On previous snapshots after the merge, it was simple mob glitchiness, etc. but in this snapshot, I can hit a creeper with a sword, the game will pause for about 2 seconds then the knock-back will take effect and send the mob jerking away from me. This is a major bug because it makes fighting creepers and getting gunpowder nearly impossible because I cannot tell where the creeper is all the time and it will explode. Also, it is not my computer: AMD Radeon HD 6700; 8GB DDR3 RAM; Core i3 2100 CPU; Windows 7 Ultimate. I could play all other versions of the game with no lag and up to 300FPS.
 * I'm experiencing severe lag while breaking blocks or hitting mobs. Blocks reappear, or take a long time to drop their item. Hitting mobs only sends them flying a few seconds after I hit them. I noticed that my CPU usage is much higher with 12w25a than it is with 1.2.5. On the other hand, my framerate with 12w25a is around 40fps, compared to an average of 20fps with 1.2.5. I'm on a Macbook Pro, 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB of DDR2, and a GeForce 8600M GT with 256MB.
 * In a room full of sheep, you can literally hear the lag. They baa for about two seconds, then all stop for a second, then repeat.  Noticed on SMP with only one user on. --66.133.216.4 03:42, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) mpsu Mined stone, coal and sand blocks reappear. About every 10th .. 20th block. Mining the blocks a second time drops a second item. Reappeared sand blocks do not fall down if below is just air. Mining with Diamond pickaxe Efficiency IV / Unbreakable III or diamond pickaxe Efficiency III / Unbreakable III / Fortune II. --Kumasasa 18:54, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) Bows have lag most of the time. When you charge a bow. The arrow shoots a second after you let go.--League 16:14, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

! Entities stop working, the snow cover block won't disappear when the block under it is deleted, gravel doesn't fall (most likely with sand, too), and I only have a limited space to move, because the chunks around the space won't appear. I recorded this video. Sometimes it'd work, sometimes it wouldn't. Some bugs weren't shown (like the chunk thing).
 * (Merged Duplicate) The entity bug is still in the game. Apparently, this bug isn't being corrected, which forces me to play in 12w21b.
 * This is a very vague bug that is assuming we know what you mean by "entity bug". That could mean anything. Please elaborate. --Mattrition 14:11, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Mobs freeze and will no longer spawn, chests, workbenches, etc. cannot be used, priming TNT will make the block disappear, breaking a block will not drop a resource, fluids will not update, etc. Basically, entities are bugged.
 * Wasn't this bug listed as fixed in Known_bugs/Version_12w22a? Techokami 15:01, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, that's what we're talking about. It sounds like its a difficult issue to pin down. I've merged this report with another more explanatory one. --Mattrition 15:21, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This happens every few seconds on my world. It renders the game unplayable. I wouldn't have believed it, but it's getting worse.--81.97.0.62 15:38, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This issue was partially remedied as of a previous pre-release (12w24a), but the bug is still in the game. It is still being worked on, and is an issue with having to run both client and server at the same time. Also, on a weaker computer, hitting escape and then returning to the game will freeze all actions and entities, sometimes making mobs run in a continuous direction through objects, and cause the server to stop interacting with the client. --Wormy14 17:28, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) The game now is unplayable for slow/old computers now, it freezes the whole world. All mobs are frozen in the game, the game gets very laggy at SP resulting in being unplayable in survival/adventure mode. I guess it has to do with the thing SP works now more like a server, than a normal single player game. While playing in creative mode, I noticed some blocks (like doors) don't get destroyed properly (due to lag) and after about 2-3 minutes they will disappear. Same happens to chests, crafting tables, furnaces, etc. Some sounds also don't display correctly (probably the same reason). --Wormer21 22:38, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

! Mobs freeze every few seconds.
 * Confirmed for SMP. --Kumasasa 19:45, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Not only do they freeze, but they unfreeze where they would have been if they were not frozen. This is most notable in the Ender Dragon.  It also applies to entities such as mine carts and arrows.  --107.2.255.13 03:01, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

! Riding a minecart freezes the motion every few seconds. Animation of torches continues. --Kumasasa 19:45, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

! sp The world does not properly respond to many of the player's actions. Blocks can be placed and broken, but items do not drop from broken blocks, levers etc. cannot have their state toggled, attached blocks (e.g. torches, redstone dust) do not drop if their supporting block is broken, and console commands (there is no effect or chat bar message) do not work. After an interval lasting roughly between 30 seconds to a minute, the game notices the player's actions, and their effects are applied instantaneously. It also remembers what order the actions had been done in, so if you were in survival mode, typed in /gamemode 1, then mined a block, but not for long enough to break it, when the game catches up the block will be destroyed as if you had been in creative mode.

! Game stops working few seconds after loading a world. It didn't happen in 12w24a. (at least in my computer) --Sks0315
 * What do you mean by "stops working"? Do you get a crash report in your .minecraft directory? --Mattrition 15:21, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Redstone, entity don't work and if I destroy blocks and reconnect, they will be back. (Much like disconnected from server but client doesn't think so) --Sks0315
 * Can confirm. Game responds for at most 2 seconds before stops responding with a system of 2GB of RAM and 32-bit processor with Windows XP. --Manuelschi 17:28, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Could you describe what you mean by "stops responding"? Does it feel like any of the issues described above i.e. all mobs stop moving / the world stops updating? Or is it more like the whole game, including the player and controls, freeze up? --Mattrition 12:46, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

! If you play LAN with someone on Hardcore and the other one dies, the world stops "responding to you" (No drops, Mobs don't move, just like when you loose connection while on a Server). The world gets deleted when you leave it like when you die.

! Randomly getting kicked from SP because of an internal server error. --bartselen 18:59, 21 June 2012 (UTC+2)

a The ender chest doesn't give an options about sharing it with someone. With this /publish update there are lot of friends who would like to share their ender chests. Akxe 13:08, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I believe this is the reason Jeb caved into public demand - That the only time Ender Chests were useful in SMP was among close friends. Bigger servers with more to manage would find literally no use for Ender Chests. I'd assume that's why he made it per person - Because no one liked the idea of only being useful in such cases. --MegaScience 18:13, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

a The number of unique items in the game keeps increasing, but we still have the same amount of inventory spaces, resulting in very easy and fast inventory clogging.  16:05, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is especially true when taking into account the new types of planks and stairs. Maybe simply adding another 9 slots and adding 2 more to the hotbar?
 * Agreed. But IMO, the idea with two more slots on the hotbar is not so good. It would ruin the "9 slot symmetry" if we had 11 slots on the hotbar. Furthermore, how would the 11th slot be activated (using the keyboard) the 10th one could be activated by . There is no other number left for the 11th slot. I think the hotbar should stay the same, but add another row to the inventory.  08:04, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Disagree. We've got the Ender chest which is in fact a expansion of the inventory, even more now since the ender chest is player-bound. Expanding the native inventory would make the game too easy. --Kumasasa 08:45, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * What you are saying is that they should not add another row to the inventory because we have chests and that chests are an expansion to the inventory. The ender chest requires you to walk up to it just as you would walk up to a normal chest and is meant for long distance connections (or inter-dimensional) not as an expanion. Your argument is invalid and Mojang should STILL add another row to the inventory.  12:40, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a feature request. If you want to ask Mojang to add something to the game you have to ask them yourself through e-mail or twitter. --Moxxy 04:38, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

a The enchantments with "Protection" in the name besides Protection don't provide more protection to a specific thing than Protection does, making those enchantments completely outclassed by Protection. To make matters worse, you can only get one "Protection" enchantment on a piece of armor. TorchicBlaziken 20:41, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

a In my, and many other's opinions, to erase past trades after a few uses was a very bad move. many had set up shops, based on specific items the villagers had. furthermore, this makes "upgrading" villagers not possible. at all.--Kizzycocoa 18:09, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * As trading was only in development builds up to this point, he doesn't really have to take such things into account. This was a response to them seeming overpowered - I honestly hate the idea, but as a development feature, he isn't obligated to the few users making use of this seriously. --MegaScience 18:13, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * You can buy diamond armor for about 240 sugar cane. I think it's okay to have to work a little to enable this trade.
 * Enable? sure. but to remove it after working for it? I don't think so. I'd be pissed. our entire community is sticking to 12w24a as most of us disagree with this change. Perhaps something else should be done. such as limiting expensive trades to one per day. or making you need to trade 15 times on any material to get a single upgrade. --Kizzycocoa 18:55, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Currently the code contains a wealth value for villagers, which increases when they are traded emeralds (increased by the amount traded), and never decreases - this has existed since the first public release of trading, but has absolutely no use currently. Perhaps wealth could affect offer removals, making them less likely? This way, frequently traded villagers could end up with offer slots which last longer. Or perhaps, rather than removing offers, they should be disabled after a fixed number of uses, and get re-enabled over time, where wealth reduces the time it takes for the offer to get enabled again? At any rate, I also disagree with the 12w25a change in its current form. --WolfieMario 14:06, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I fail to see how this is a bug... please don't clutter this page with personal feedback on game design decisions. This is for reporting bugs, and clutter like this makes it harder for the devs to sort the legit bug reports from everything else. --76.4.89.161 22:44, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

a When going through the Nether Portal, the player's view is obstructed by the purpling and swirling, even after changing worlds but before moving out of the portal. Since the portals can be blocked on one side, this can be confusing. I understand and agree with the use of camera effects before changing worlds, but after going through the portal, I think this feature could be a distraction. --Keithicus420 22:11, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Normal-sized mushrooms can't be planted outside at night. This is because the skylight level is always 15, even at night, and the reason for this is so crops and flowers don't uproot themselves every night. Perhaps there could be a workaround for this. TorchicBlaziken 16:31, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * If I recall correctly, this was an intentional change for balance purposes. It was too easy to use a red mushroom and bone meal to make an instant shelter. So you're options have changed to keeping mushrooms underground, or planting a mushroom on a Mycelium block (obtainable via Creative and/or using a Silk Touch shovel on a Mycelium block). Techokami 00:25, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Think about that. Is it really easier to kill a skeleton and make bonemeal, then find a red mushroom and grow it then to just mine a few dirt blocks and build a shack? It's an obvious bug, however it is a feature that they are not able to be placed in daylight.

! Eyes of Ender do not work properly in Large Biomes. They lead to where the stronghold would be if the world type was Default, instead of the stronghold's actual location in that world. TorchicBlaziken 20:32, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This makes it almost impossible to go to the end in the large biomes option.--League 10:21, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When Minecraft tries to generate a Jungle Temple and it intersects a river, a Desert Temple is generated instead. Perhaps it could be made so that if it intersects a river, a temple is simply not generated. TorchicBlaziken 18:55, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is supposed to be fixed, can you give me seed and coords? /jeb_

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)
 * Possible fix could be making strongholds have priority in intersecting spots. --Moxxy 03:31, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances

a Mobs can spawn in the trap in the desert temples, setting it off and ruining it. If the sandstone blocks at the bottom were top slabs, then this could be avoided since mobs don't spawn on those. Or, there could just be a few torches in the trap room. TorchicBlaziken 03:33, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Not a bug, just annoying. Changed to annoyance. --Mattrition 09:01, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

a Making villages in the desert use sandstone was really a great idea. But isn't making them almost 100% sandstone a bit too much? Sandstone roof, sandstone floor, sandstone walls, sandstone pathes... they're kinda ugly as now. Lvxferre 07:08, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Villagers still sink through the ground. appearing as if half on their body has sunk one block into the ground.--League 14:56, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

 * True, even worse--League 10:14, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When lots of mobs are contained in a small fenced space, some mobs appear to be pushed beyond the fences, only to be dragged back quickly (example: ). Lvxferre 14:19, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Sometimes occurs with mobs appearing to escape from mob grinders for a short time. --XRedx 14:53, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I also have experienced this. I have a sheep farm and I notice that sheep get out, but the fences should keep them contained. There's enough room for the sheep, but they still get out somehow. Perhaps they are pushed by other sheep beyond the fence and escape that way? --Keithicus420 05:17, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Mob movement is glitched in this snapshot. When they are walking forward, their body seems to move but their legs are continuously going like "walking,standstill,walking,standstill". This looks really weird--League 14:56, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Corrected minor grammatical issues for clarity, and can confirm this.

undefined Pink Sheep have the wool of a White sheep on top of their wool. The glitch occurs with baby pink sheep too. Example: File:Pink sheep bug.png ISQ Talk 14:28, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Slime's hitbox isn't scaling with the slime size: for the tiny slimes, it's too large (hits the slime even not aiming near it) and for the large slimes, it's too little (needs to get too close to actually hit them). Lvxferre 14:35, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Cats and wolves' AI does not make them avoid cacti. Because of this, my wolves and cats walk into cacti whenever I take them into a desert. TorchicBlaziken 18:28, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This also applies to all other mobs. They don't avoid fire, too. --☺ Sven ? ! 11:10, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When a chunk with tamed wolves sitting is loaded after being unloaded, the wolves will no longer be sitting and will teleport to the player. In some cases, there is a slight delay for them to teleport. ~Cm283
 * (Merged duplicate) Even when told to sit, cats will still teleport to you if you move far enough away, although my Siamese stayed in the same place I'd tamed him for ages (maybe the fact that I hadn't told him to "un-sit" after taming caused this?). However after I'd found him again and got him to follow me, he then disappeared the next time I crossed to a nearby island, and even returning didn't force him to teleport to me. A tabby I'd told to sit at my main home, however, I found him sitting on a chest, not where I'd left him. --Bpdlr 09:29, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

a Endermen can grief structures made out of snow or iron blocks by placing a Pumpkin on them and creating a Golem. If it is Iron, then it also results in a huge waste of resources. TorchicBlaziken 01:19, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Unless you have a massive iron farm with a 2 deep iron floor completely dedicated to farming pumpkins and said farm is left completely unlit then the chances of this happening is so astronomically low that it's a null issue. --Moxxy 03:37, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

a Why do so many animals swim miles offshore? Shouldn't they at least try to get back on land? --Bpdlr
 * I reported this as a bug in an earlier release. I'm pretty sure it's an unintended bias in the mob movement algorithm. See explanation in greater detail in the Talk page for 12w19a. --82.69.54.207 13:26, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Upside-down slabs with blocks on them still have incorrect lighting. (example) -- Mustek  12:36, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Is it perhaps time this long-standing issue was upgraded to a major bug? I have several structures I've been waiting to finish off which look plug-ugly at present. For anyone who wants to build for aesthetics but whose design that needs half slabs, there is no workaround for this issue. --82.69.54.207 13:26, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Vote for upgrade? -- Mustek  13:39, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * While I agree this bug is quite long-standing and a bit annoying, it doesn't break any major feature, so I vote keeping it as minor bug. Lvxferre 14:02, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) Inverted slabs and stairs have a lighting problem since the beginning that makes the bottom part of surfaces made of them completely black when you make groups of them (for example for ceilings, a case in which this bug is really annoying) --SwissTHX11384EB 13:37, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

x Rain in Extreme Hills doesn't create particles.

Annoyances

a! Blocks are incorrectly shadowed by hangovers, even with high light levels around them. They are commonly only able to be corrected by changing light within the shadow (ex torch). This allows mobs to spawn even in well lit areas, especially underground. (example: ). Lvxferre 14:02, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Sometimes the lighting is corrected if the player enters the shadow. ~Cm283

 * There is a way to bypass this glitch, but it involves finding the save file, of which finding the specific file may be difficult, and then renaming the file to your preference, but then this is still a serious inconvenience, since you have to find the directory, and even then, you can't use special characters. --Wormy14 21:48, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the solution. but it still needs to be fixed. not because it's too hard for us to go to the directory. but for the little minecrafters among us.--League 10:25, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined crIn Creative Mode, if the player's Survival Inventory is updated while they are viewing another tab of the inventory, the same slot in that tab's inventory will be replaced by the Survival Inventory slot. Although the slot shows a Survival Inventory, it will act as a Creative Inventory slot, whereas the item will stay and can be shift clicked for full stacks of the item.
 * Created an animated GIF of the bug: http://i.imgur.com/KUnaP.gif I discovered it while trying to stockpile Ender Dragon eggs so I couldn't accidentally loose all of them in the Creative Inventory. While idling in front of this simple contraption I made, I noticed the eggs were replacing a slot in the Creative Inventory, while still working as Creative slots.

! X/Z ≥4000000 in the Nether is not treated as an illegal position by the game. It should be, because although the Far Lands don't start at that point, if you go there and use a Nether Portal to go to the Overworld, you will be in the Far Lands (which start at X/Z 32000000) and be disconnected for an illegal position, and when you log in you will still be in the Far Lands and be disconnected again, and have no way to get out.

undefined If the player attempts to teleport another player to them while that other player is in another dimension, the other player will be moved to the player's coordinates in that dimension. For example, if a player is in The Overworld attempts to teleport a player to them, and that player is in The End, it will teleport that player to their Overworld coordinates while still in the End, causing them to fall to their death in most cases.

a Many op commands (like /give and /tp) now result in output text to all users, instead of just op like before. For /tp, this is particularly annoying because if the op uses coordinates, everyone on the server sees those coordinates.
 * Fixed wrong tag -- Mustek  16:53, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

a When using the /tp command to teleport to a position, if the user enters an x/z coordinate between 30,000,000 and 32,000,000, they will be teleported to fake chunks. Additionally, if the user enters the max x/z coordinate (32,000,000), they will be teleported to an "illegal position" and unable to escape. (perhaps make the max x/z coordinate 30,000,000 instead of 32,000,000?)
 * Fixed wrong tag -- Mustek  16:53, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
