Crashing/System
Bugs !!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.
 * Had this happen to me more than once. --Shikamaru123 15:37, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This happens to me every time I log into a world for the second time making it impossible to keeps worlds for longer than one session ExDeuce 18:14, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined When trading with a villager that needs more than one emerald for an item trade, you cannot place emeralds one by one into the trade box, you must give them all at once or he will not go through with his side of the trade. (This is very glitchy) http://i.imgur.com/dlTpU.png --Scepheus 20:34, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined When right click on villager for trading dialog with bow in your hand you will shot him after close trading dialog. Works with food too. If you right click on villager with food you will eat it while trade dialog is open.

undefined Shot arrows scoot up to the top of the block it was shot on.

undefined When loading world, I am spawning under the bedrock layer and fall into void (about 50% chances), but I am not dying (like if void is not working). I need to exit world and load again, then I am spawning in proper position (on the ground, where I exit game last time). It's looks like the world is not loaded properly before spawning player...83.31.218.196 23:00, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

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)

a 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)

a In the new Creative Inventory in the tab Redstone there is the Redstone Torch in off mode and when you place it it 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)

Blocks
Bugs 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)

x Mushrooms cant be placed on any block other then 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)

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)

acr 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)

acr On-state Redstone Torch is missing, only Off-state torch is there (as mentioned above). ISQ Talk 14:52, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

World Generator
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)

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.

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)

a While playing single player chunks seem extremely slow to load even when the player is next to them.

Mobs/NPCs/Animals
Bugs 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)
 * Sorry, I thought that bugs which causes a severe unbalance in the game also counted as major. Especially when a single medium slime eventually became 30+ large ones when it jumped into lava while following me.

undefined All villagers that spawn are the regular brown farmer making it impossible to trade certain items. ExDeuce 18:35, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Was reported in 12w21a as just a display glitch. i.e. they all appear as farmers even though all the villager types are actually present. Does quitting and reloading cause the villagers to reset to their true types? --82.69.54.207 18:47, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * No, but even different types spawned through random spawn egg selection will revert to the brown farmer skin with time. ExDeuce 19:59, 25 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've seen this since 12w19a, not with only with villagers but also various passive mobs, slimes (in superflat), zombies, and it probably affects other mob types too. --82.69.54.207 18:47, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Graphical/Lighting
Bugs undefined The top of grass blocks in inventory always looks grey. I don't know if this is because of my OS (Linux) or what but it has been like this since at least 1.2.4 I hope I'm not the only one who gets this. --Shikamaru123 21:12, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

undefinedLighting glitches appear much more frequently.
 * A known bug, and a longstanding one. But a legit bug, not just an annoyance. --82.69.54.207 18:39, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined Sheep do not appear the colour of the wool they drop.
 * Also a bug. Sheep do usually correct their colours after they have been sheared, but this is only a temporary fix, as they (apparently) tend to revert to white if their chunk is ever unloaded. --82.69.54.207 18:39, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined cr Duplication glitch with shift clicking armor moved from creative inventory. Diamond Helm not equippable with shift click when moved in the new creative inventory to the regular inventory marked by the chest. I then changed to survival and tried to equip full diamond armor. The helm wasn't working so I tried dropping it on the ground and then tried to pick it up. It was still on the ground and when I opened my inventory it was full of helms. screenshot --Shikamaru123 15:12, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Steps to reproduce


 * 1. Be in creative with cheats on and open the weapons tab.
 * 2. Move any armor piece to the chest icon survival inventory.
 * 3. Close inventory.
 * 4. Change to survival.
 * 5. Open inventory and shift click armor. (It should not equip)
 * 6. Drop armor on ground and then pick it up. another example --Shikamaru123 16:27, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Not a major bug, because it doesn't render the game unplayable and has an easy workaround. You just have to switch back to creative mode again, correct your inventory (or drop copies of the 'lost' items on the ground), and avoid using shift-click under these rather precise circumstances. --82.69.54.207 18:35, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined Villagers will (rarely) offer multiple emeralds for a single emerald. screenshot [via Reddit]
 * And there's a World save here - Mustek 17:18, 25 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).  17:13, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

a! Not being able to close the new creative inventory without hitting esc. I am so used to using e to close it. It would help if you had to hit a key initially to start searching. Another control to add I'm sure. --Shikamaru123 15:33, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
