Various issues seeking confirmation
Hi, I want to see somebody confirm first. But I had a few issues.

1) I found water flowing underground with no water source block. When I placed a block, it updated and the water disappeared.  I could give seed and coords and it should be reproducible:
 * Seed: -908895685616615920
 * Coords: x=0, y=12, z=267

2) When I opened up a hole underneath a lake, water was flowing around me. Then suddenly I started taking hit damage very rapidly and I was not underwater.  Not sure what happened, but it was very bizarre behavior I've never seen before.  Basically I was going in and out of being underwater, but never went below 3/4 air bubbles.  And it wasn't normal underwater damage behavior, because it would be 1/2-heart per second, then suddenly i lost 1 1/2 hearts really fast.

Update: I figured it out. Whenever flowing water is pushing you against a wall, you take damage. Is that by design?


 * I tried the seed, When I created the world I crashed. When I relogged, I went a few steps and crashed again. Just to be sure- Do you spawn in a Taiga? This happens when I goto X:0. It doesn't even show a crash report, just automatically crashed.Harrison1220 01:52, 6 July 2012 (UTC)Harrison1220

Hey, I'm new to the Wiki and I don't know if I'm supposed to do this. Anyways..

I was playing on the 12w27a update, And I third party program to get a Pig Spawner (AKA mobspawner 52)then I placed it. I placed it down in a desert, hopefully I could change the spawner, because I heard about something about changing the spawner too a ElectroCreeper. I couldn't figure out how too, but then when it was about to spawn, The pig went really fast instead, rapidly. Can anyone one of you guys try it? I want to see if it's just me. And also, Everytime I walk away from the spawner, I disconnect saying "Internal Server Error".

Pink sheep
undefined There's a layer of white wool clipping through the top of pink sheep. -- Mustek 15:34, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Screenshot please? Dinnerbone 15:36, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Nathan asks, I gives: Pink left, lime right -- Mustek 15:52, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That looks pink to me, although it would be a lot clearer as pink if it was a couple of shades darker. (Similarly I find the orange sheep very hard to distinguish as orange.) I think it's your monitor that's at fault. --82.69.54.207 16:21, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Does this still look pink? -- Mustek 16:37, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm colour blind to reds, and therefor seeing pinks is quite a challenge sometimes, but that looks pink to me. Just very very light. Play with your monitors colour values if it looks 100% white. Dinnerbone 16:58, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I still see that far sheep as light pink too. The near one's white. I definitely think the top colour for pink sheep is too light a shade of pink, because even in controlled circumstances like your screen grab it's hard to tell, and out in the game, it can be harder still. --82.69.54.207 17:34, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * When the sheep looks up, the color on his head turns to a darker pink (Like this -- Mustek 18:26, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I also see a very light shade of pink on the top of the back and head where the rest is a shade darker. I believe they where substantially darker pink before, seeing the difference between white sheeps was alot easier. 87.213.196.80 18:42, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The game code is working properly, lighting the back in the pink sheep to values like #E0D7E0 and #EBE2EB (very, very light magenta/pink tones); if it was a white back, the values would be like #E0E0E0 or #EBEBEB (very light gray). So, I suggest changing this to an annoyance, since it's clearly not a bug. Lvxferre 20:25, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It is pink,I see pink on your screen, and everything looks okay in the background. Either it's the monitors problem or something else. Harrison1220 02:07, 6 July 2012 (UTC)Harrison1220
 * If I can contribute, I've seen this since a very long time, and at least for me, the color of the top layer of the pink sheep looks too white (but not white-only). Tried on many monitors. Just an annoyance, though, at least for me. --Asmcsl 02:44, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Discussion moved to talk. Main issue 'not a bug' - changed to annoyance. --Simons Mith 09:26, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Enchanting max levels?
I thought with the new enchantment system we couldn't get level 5 enchantments anymore, but I recently got Bane of Arthropods V on an iron sword. Are they just much more rare? LB 23:31, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Mob spawners
I just started a test world in 12w27a and noticed a buried mob spawner not too far from spawn. i dug down and found that it was a skeleton spawner, but it displayed a pig. also the pig inside was spinning much more rapidly than in 1.2.5. --98.117.6.138 01:28, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
