Crashing/System
Bugs

!! What appears to be a memory leak in the chunk loading portion of the code. Without allocating more memory to Minecraft, Java Platform SE Binory will crash in around 10 minutes of straight traveling, particularly in the nether. Allocating 2 GB to Minecraft, memory usage for java is seen jumping to 800 MB at world load and steadily climbing beyond 1.8 GB and Minecraft showing 700 - 900 MB in debug screen. 1.2.5 version caps off around 1 GB for java and 300 - 450 MB in Minecraft debug screen. This was found with java 7 update 5 64-bit, windows 7 64-bit, 6GB memory, GTX 670 graphics card, i5 650 3.2 GHz, minecraft settings set to fast graphics, no smooth lighting, no clouds, no server textures, all other settings at their default, tested on all render distances without any noticeable difference

!In some computers (1.75 GB of RAM, 32-bit, 2.71 GHz, Windows XP SP3, Java 1.6) the world will still not save blocks, but will save player configuration. Example seen here http://imgur.com/a/xixYo#0 (1st and 2nd screenshot taken in a run, the 3rd one is after reloading the world). Here's a debug profile made while placing the blocks, if it helps. --Manuelschi 17:06, 5 July 2012 (UTC) undefined

!mp Players falling through world and getting socket exception when connecting or going through nether gates. Reverted to 26 and I was fine. Moved back to the spawn (my base is some ways away) and updated to 27 and everything is fine. Went back to my base and re-logged and it happens again. We were able to teleport me to the spawn and I was fine. Had someone else come to my base and re-log and he gets the same exception. I have also experienced this when travelling from the nether to a portal at this base.I have completely re-installed minecraft and java. I started a single player creative on the same seed and went to the coordinates and was able to exit and re-enter. seed: ubik rough coordinates: x = 1473, z = -155 --Neema 00:37, 7 July 2012 (UTC) undefined
 * I can confirm this bug. I'm also getting "Internal Server Error" while in the nether, and getting booted. --SullyTheUnusual 15:58, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * While I personally have not experienced these "Socket Exceptions" of which you speak, I have experienced falling through unloaded chunks into the Void after using a portal before the game loads the chunks and puts me back in the portal. TorchicBlaziken 23:59, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances a! Every time I try to update Minecraft through the launcher it stops at about 5-9% percent downloaded (I've checked the minecraft.jar, only metainf folder was there). --66.219.226.219 22:03, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Are you sure you are using a bought account? This page is not for cracked Minecraft.  07:23, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes I have bought minecraft(I'm lukisforgets in minecraft)and it still won't work.--66.219.226.219 18:31, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * delete the "bin" and "server" directories in your ".minecraft" and have another go --Mattrition 10:26, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * no, that didn't work either... --66.219.226.219 16:12, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have this too, and it is the most annoying thing ever. I tried completely disabling antivirus/firewall and still, nothing happens.

aOther chat key-bindings are incorrect for Mac OS X. Fn+Arrow Key (Home, End, Page Down/Up) should have no effect on the cursor. Ctrl+Left/Right should instead be Opt/Alt+Left/Right, Cmd+Left/Right should equate to Fn+Left/Right and Cmd+A should select all text instead of Ctrl+A. Jrtc27 13:37, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

a Still cannot quit Minecraft using the standard shortcut Cmd+Q. You can quit it before logging in through the launcher however. Bug has been present in all versions of Minecraft and ought to be fixed. Mac OS X

a When trying to connect to an incompatible minecraft server, such as 1.2.5, I get the very unhelpful error message "Internal exception: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset". It would be nice if there were a more descriptive error message, saying what the server and client versions are, and explaining that they are incompatible. Thue 22:32, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Fixed/Skipped

f If you try to spawn a entity that is not a mob via spawner editing i.e. cart or boat the game will crash

undefined

--SoaringChris137 21:31, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Spawner egg or mob spawner? Either way, the game is not supposed to give you the chance to do that. It's like trying to use a spawner egg to spawn an item entity, it will crash. Since it cannot be reproduced on vanilla minecraft without 3rd party programs i vote for deletion.--Manuelschi 22:53, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It was a spawner block, like you find in dungeons, and because in the previous snapshot the special spawner permissions were added but only accessible through 3rd party editing I don't think this can be overlooked. --SoaringChris137 23:26, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This has been fixed, but I really wouldn't call this a critical bug. It's custom behaviour that we've never supported before or had intentions of directly supporting. Dinnerbone 08:16, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

fmp Every user that logs into my SMP server gets kicked off immediately, with the following message in the console (no crash report recorded on server nor client): --Inertia undefined
 * This may be caused by 'view-distance' in the server.properties file being set above the default value of 10. --Recondite 20:32, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Good call. Indeed, it was the view-distance.  I had it set to 15, but taking it back to the default (10) seems to have fixed it.  But in the previous build, having it set to 15 seemed fine. --Inertia

f CMD-V does not work to paste things into Minecraft. Dinnerbone said he was having trouble with this because he didn't have a Mac. However, Minecraft recognizes the CMD keys as LWIN and RWIN in the controls menu, so enabling the LWIN-V and RWIN-V combinations to paste might do it. CTRL-V does work on a Mac, but it is unintuitive for Mac users. TorchicBlaziken 21:14, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Potentially fixed, need a mac-y person to test it in the office. — [[Image:Mojang_AB_logo.png|13px]] Dinnerbone(T) 08:28, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

f My SMP server uses 60% CPU when no users are logged in. The 1.2.5 server used 40%. AFAIK, there is no good reason why it should use any amount of CPU when nobody is logged in. My server uses much more electricity than neccesary because of this. Thue 15:50, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm running two servers on mac at the same time, getting a 2% CPU usage when noone logged in, it gets up to 50% when I log in from my computer (so, 2 Minecraft Servers + Minecraft Client). I usually got al least 75% usage on previous versions (same 2% when no one logged in). iMac 21.5 late 2010, 8 GB RAM (1 GB assigned to every server, and 2GB assigned to Minecraft client). --Asmcsl 17:03, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have a relatively old Athlon64 X2 3800+, but still shouldn't be using 40% or 60%. Perhaps you have killed your enderdragon and destroyed your end healers, which seems to be what is using lots of CPU in 1.2.5 (From profiling the partially decompiled 1.2.5 source code from bukkit. A 24x24 are is always loaded in each of the three worlds). Thue 00:29, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Now, after running a good deal of time, it actually seems to have settled down to run at ~6% CPU, which is obviously much better than in 1.2.5. Don't know why. It woul still be nice if it didn't use any CPU when nobody was connected, of course, like fx my apache and sshd servers. Thue 00:34, 8 July 2012 (UTC
 * Running 12w27a on an Arch Linux i3 with 4 gigs of RAM I haven't had any issues with CPU load. Minecraft is using about 3.9% CPU when noone's logged in which is high for a program that's doing nothing, but isn't high for Minecraft. ArcherSeven 05:33, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I decided that it's silly to tick entities when nobody is around to hear them fall. CPU usage should greatly improve now. — [[Image:Mojang_AB_logo.png|13px]] Dinnerbone(T) 09:48, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

f Using Shift + Up/Down on a LAN world causes Minecraft to crash with an IndexOutOfBounds exception. Jrtc27 13:24, 10 July 2012 (UTC) undefined

Gameplay
Bugs ! Hardcore levels get deleted if you try to skip the end credits. I opened up a hardcore world that I beat in 1.2.5 and went back to the end. When I left, I was presented with the credits again, and hit esc to skip them. The game said that I was disconnected because I died and deleted my world. Ryan392 02:26, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

! NPC Villages will lag my computer down to <1 FPS. I don't know what's causing the problem but this has never happened before and I have to delete my [Player].dat file to respawn and the lag stops. I cannot produce a debug profiling due to major lag. Will list specs if needed. Zmr333 01:58, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Not a crash bug. Downgrading and moving. --Mattrition 15:25, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Unable to reproduce. I tried my personal SSP world with a medium village, and also a Superflat world on Creative with multiple very large villages. I did not lag at all. --Fperson1 05:12, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

!mp Player 1 can push Player 2 around on their screen but Player 2 doesn't move on their screen. Therefore Player 1 can push Player 2 in lava and Player 2 will take unnecessary damage.-- QuAd205 03:00, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I've had this happening too. Seems to glitch with any entity pushing the player. I was shot by a few skeleton arrows and walked around to hit them but saw them firing at a wall while I got hurt. Done using the minecraftserver.exe Lukesoccer21 05:42, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Happens for me too, though I've noticed it seems a bit inconsistent. I've been able to push a friend and when they move, they notice they're suddenly elsewhere as described above, other times I've pushed them, then when they moved they've gone back to where they originally were as if they hadn't been pushed at all. -TheWyo 20:01, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

! When water current pushes you into a corner, you start taking damage. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/uzMEc.png (Note: this screenshot was taken in Peaceful mode.) --Techokami 19:32, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * seems related to the "Player 1 can push Player 2" Bug stated above. Something's wrong with the client and server not matching up. Was this done on a server or "singleplayer"? --Lukesoccer21 17:17, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It was done in "singleplayer". As long as there are blocks at the head level forming a corner, and a diagonal current pushing the player into said corner, the player takes damage. The game probably thinks the player is inside the blocks and is suffocating. --Techokami 22:16, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This occurs from all sources pushing you, IE if a mob pushes you into a corner.BlackDragonIV 16:24, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I can confirm this. Players die very often on my snapshot server from suffocating in walls, and blame each other out of doubt. --Steve G. Wood 12:38, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Happens a lot when villagers are crowded in a room (they do seem to love sharing rooms) and you are pushed into a corner. --5thHorseman 00:24, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

! Occasionally your character can seem to "teleport" when fighting a water current. For example, if one is underground mining obsidian whilst fighting a water current, you will appear to be breaking the obsidian (complete with cracking animation and mining sound) and suddenly appear upwards of 7 blocks away, at the end of the water current. Used major bug tag because it is fully possible to be pushed into lava in situations such as the above example, or if working on a mob grinder, or into a corner triggering the above bug. This happens in SSP, not sure about multiplayer. --Fperson1 01:01, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

! Sometimes, you get random suffocation damage, most times when sprinting. 189.34.246.216 14:53, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have seen this when hitting a wall with a sprint-jump... and sprint-jumps in general. --Steve G. Wood 18:32, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

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.

undefinedcr Crafting something in Creative Mode (I know, why should I...) in the 2x2 crafting field generates the crafted item and drops the old items like they were not used after closing the menu. I made four sticks with two pieces of wooden blanks in this Screenshot. Doesn't occur in Survival Mode. --Freakedenough 18:49, 5 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. -- JonHa97 18:44, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Eggs thrown by dispensers will sometimes spawn chickens in a block. The chicken will suffocate and die. Other eggs function normally. ~Cm283 20:21, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have seen this since 1.2.5 with eggs thrown against a wall (not using a dispenser). ArcherSeven 05:55, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Dropped items sometimes refuse to be picked up. I had a sapling that was dropped from a tree, and I couldn't pick it up. I tried to remove blocks under it, but that didn't work. After about a minute of walking through it, it popped into my inventory. http://i.imgur.com/jMcwx Happens rarely, but it has happened several times now, in different snapshots. --Blunderbrain 10:48, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The sapling is resting on a leaf on the server's screen but it's not on your screen. It should teleport back up and fall again for you, is that correct? LB 23:42, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I've seen this with apples and an emerald. I've dug around where they fall in case they're trapped in a block, but never could get them. Eventually, they're removed from the game. I've watched them teleport back up and fall again. There appears to be a duplicate version of this bug under Items. WinXP Pro 32bit, P4, 2G mem, Java6, ATI Radeon HD 4600 series --Foxfire 01:02, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Happened with mined cobblestone: video -- Featherwinglove 03:41, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Chests do not update properly. Placing items in them, or taking items out of them may fail. Ex. you shift-click a stack of dirt into a chest, it appears in the chest. If you leave the chest and click the inventory slot the dirt was in, it re-appears in your inventory - it seems, it has never been placed in the chest. Also, the chest closing or opening sound and/or animation may not play. --77.189.31.93 23:23, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined I was playing Survival Mode on Normal difficulty, a skeleton shot me and the arrow just bounced off me without dealing damage. --Conscripta

undefined Surrounding a bed with slabs still works when sleeping; you wake up on top of the bed, as expected. However, when dying, the game thinks the "home bed was missing or obstructed". --Steve G. Wood 18:32, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined sp When in Survival in singleplayer, if you open the world to LAN with Creative on for the people that join, you can log into the game again in a different client with the game that you opened to LAN unclosed, go into the LAN server, have it kick you because you were logged in twice, and then when you open the world again, even though it still says survival, you are in creative when you enter the world. I found this the other day in the last snapshot, and today I found out that it worked in 12w27a. I'm sure that some other people would not mind this bug, but it does not make me too happy. I have not yet tested if you can also go back from creative to survival. --Agent A 21:29, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances a! sp (Might happen in MP as well) I commonly have the problem of the keyboard becoming non-responsive while playing. A quick, double alt-tab fixes the problem, but i dont know why. It can happen at any time, when a game is just loading, or after the game has been running for a while; both are equally common.

a! mp (possibly single player also) When being pushed against a wall by a water current or trying to push through the force
 * I lost health. I have marked this as major as I have already died twice from being stuck in a hole and unable to get out because of the water current causing the health to drop (StormKitten_1) --2.26.50.37 08:39, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

a! When extending 4 pistons around a lava source block in the middle, all the pistons extend, but one or more also appear to be retracted at the same time. When this happens, the affected piston(s) are frozen in the extended position. Smashing the extended portion seems to reset them. --SullyTheUnusual 14:50, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

a! mp Every time I Log in or respawn, I will appear to be falling though the world in darkness, Less frequently I will appear with a block (normally stone) right up in my face. This happens for 5 to 20 seconds before I regain full control and can see and interact with the world. While falling I can look around with my mouse freely. I can also type but nothing happens when I send message. Suddenly I will appear in the game in the correct spawn location. All my chat messages will rapidly send in quick section. I have only tested this on one server. It is only played on by me and my friend. He doesn't encounter this bug at all, yet I do every time. He hosts the server at his house which is only a small media server not intended for this kinda use really perhaps, Although when the server was running 1.2.5 and previous versions I encountered no problems like this. The problem doesn't occur for me in single player. --Noac 17:03, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

a Pushing a minecart with the movement keys makes the camera shake in the direction pressed. --189.123.229.22 00:24, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I can second this, it also causes you to slow down immensely. I can see the benefit of slowing down but the shaking is rather annoying.. Pharap 16:54, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

a When you die, and respawn (no beds involved), you are teleported to the highest point of the spawn region. This makes it hard for custom map makers to create indoor maps without players getting out of the map when they die. I don't know how long this has been happening, but I noticed it in 12w26a. --76.188.50.201 16:51, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This always happened in SMP, so I would be guessing it started with the merge. I'll see if I can reproduce. 58.165.67.240 04:42, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

a Portals built above Y=128 in the normal realm do not link up with portals in the nether properly. (Bug that has been around since anvil was implemented in 1.2) Water99 19:49, 6 July 2012 (UTC)


 * One solution that I can think of (without expanding the Nether to use the newly available space) would be to add 2x vertical scaling to the Nether similar to the 8x horizontal scaling already implemented in the game. TorchicBlaziken 23:59, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

a Birch and Spruce trees will not grow directly beside one another with or without bone meal; however, Oak and Jungle trees will grow. Dotsarecool 08:25, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thin Jungle trees do not grow next to wide jungle trees. Birch and Spruce trees won't grow next to any other type of tree.

a Powered Minecarts only face two directions, so when they turn, the face of the furnace incorrectly turns. This doesn't affect the efficiency of the furnace, just a small overlooked detail I've noticed. --Keithicus420 19:09, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

acr Ender pearls still cannot be tossed in creative.--Marioman66 02:42, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

a Villagers appear to strongly prefer going down blocks instead of jumping up, so my underground railway traps villagers deep underground, then I smack into them with minecarts. Great sadness ensues. --SwimmingNaked, 10 July 2012

a Mobs spawn on non-natural occuring blocks Djerun 15:21, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Trolling ? Vote for removal --80.134.11.177 15:39, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Not so sure. I mean, it's weird that mobs appear out of nothing in completely enclosed artificial areas. So I guess this is a valid request. On the other hand, this will probably never be fixed because it's just very difficult know which block is natural and which not. I guess you could prevent mobs spawning on artificial blocks like bricks or iron blocks but I'm not sure if this is a good idea. -- JonHa97 17:50, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * But I'm sure that's not a good idea. Imaging that no Skeleton, Creeper and Zombie won't spawn on bricks - life would be quite boring. Yet you are forced to properly illuminate your interior areas to prevent hostile Mobs from spawning. Imagine that you would pave a several hundred meters square around your home base and you never will see any hostile mob anymore. Boring. The spawn conditions are quite well how it's implemented now. --Kumasasa 18:02, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It's very annoying to not be able to have darker rooms without mobs flooding them or a major limitation to what the floor can be. All blocks that don't generate on map creation should be added to the list of non-spawnable blocks rather than storing and using user placement for each individual block Djerun 21:23, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm comfortable with slab floors. If you build everything half a block below, it won't even look like slabs and you get mob-free dark areas. And a glass block floor is also a good option that does not change collision. --Steve G. Wood 12:15, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

a there are no jukebox minecars
 * Especially annoying on those long minecart trips
 * Agreed very annoying 80.134.11.177 21:28, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a feature request and does not belong on this page. Was already deleted today. --Kumasasa 21:37, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Fixed/Skipped

f Any blocks above Y=191 when logging into a single player world become invisible. Logging out on a structure above this level on SSP made me unable to move, place blocks, or break blocks because I was glitched into invisible blocks. --68.33.111.198 16:08, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems to also occur in multiplayer for me. Anyone else able to add any more information? -TheWyo 23:14, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Occurs for me as well. Can produce screenshots if need be. Also, the blocks seem to reappear upon a block update; the structure that disappeared for me was a farm so when farmed soil became wet farmed soil, it showed up. When melons grew, they showed up. Placing a block on the newly appeared blocks causes it to turn into whatever block is actually there (making the old block visible). Exiting the game and returning makes all blocks invisible again. -Bleaker 01:14, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This happened to me in the Nether. I thought I screwed something up in MCEdit. I couldn't interact with the blocks, but they stopped my motion. I was flying upward into a ceiling of bedrock in creative. I could not break them or place blocks, though I didn't do much testing as I thought it was my world file. --5thHorseman 04:05, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It is acting somewhat like an ordinary chunk error except that it happens above y:190. --Inertiahttp://youtu.be/_35mQCUjCMc
 * I have the same problem, if I place a block where the glitched invisible block should be, it turns into said block. This is happening on a mac computer if that means anything significant. --Eject_303, UK
 * It seems the height is different among users, but resides around 192.

s In a fairly recently made world, I tp'd a short distance from the Far Lands. First, I noticed torch particles are pretty far from the torch. Secondly, it is possible to place a torch on the invisible wall that marks the edge of the map. This can be reproduced by placing a torch on the last block in bounds, then right clicking to place a torch on that torch. This will put a torch on the invisible wall of the far lands. --Keithicus420 06:03, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The torch particle thing is a known mechanism of proximity to the Far Lands, as I recall. As for placing torches on the invisible wall, I think it relates to placing torches on glass or similar, though I don't really know about that. --Fperson1 05:23, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * We like to imagine that the farlands operates in another dimension, where space is warped around the mind of the ender. Or something. Either way, not fixing. — [[Image:Mojang_AB_logo.png|13px]] Dinnerbone(T) 09:57, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

n When right clicking a minecart with furnace the minecart moves foward on the track. You cannot access the furnace to place wood or coal --Kain837
 * This is how it has always been? You hold the fuel in your hand and right-click to add one of said fuel item into the powered minecart. This will cause it to run until the fuel is depleted. You can't drop in an entire stack at once. --Techokami 01:42, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * oops, your are right about dropping a whole stack in, but if you hand is empty and you right click the cart will move 1 block forward on its on, no coal was placed in the furance --Kain837
 * I can confirm this (I remeber observing this event back in 1.2.5 as well). It does happen in survival mode (and I am sure is a bug in said mode) but were you in creative when it happened? It is intentional in creative, but it is supposed to act like you put a piece of coal in the furnace (and move much further than one block), whereas in survival this isn't supposed to happen at all.--Marioman66 01:38, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * At first I was in creative, then I changed my gamemode back to survival in both instances the cart only moved forward one block --Kain837

usp Pick Block is not working. Ristovski 14:16, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Is working for me, what block are you trying to pick and do you have it in your inventory? -- Mustek 14:28, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Cleared inventory, can't use Pick Block on ANY block. Ristovski 14:33, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Restarted Minecraft, pick block works fine now, I guess some LWJGL error. Ristovski 14:37, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

n Not sure when this started, noticed in 12w27a, but when sitting in a stopped minecart, I now have the ability to aim down the track and hold w and the minecart will lurch forward, even on an unpowered powered rail. I do not believe this is intended behavior. ArcherSeven 05:49, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I remember when this first occurred, though I don't remember the version. It's been this way for a while. I think it *is* intentional but don't think it was announced. I do know it's appreciated. I hate having to get out of a cart to push it to the powered rail or downhill slope when something stops it. --5thHorseman 12:44, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This is intentional. — [[Image:Mojang_AB_logo.png|13px]] Dinnerbone(T) 09:46, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

nmp There is no way to get on a multi-player server other than ones that are 12w27a.

 * I think this is intentional. Even if you need 30 levels to enchant it, you still won't get the best enchantment. I think the more books you have, you get a greater chance of getting more high level enchantments, regardless of you using 30 levels. --Autofire 18:39, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * This is an intended feature. It was explicitly stated that the maximum enchantment level is now 30, and it only takes ~15 bookshelves to get to. Also, the amount of bookshelves you have does not affect the actual enchantments directly, only changing the maximum possible level. More than 15-16 bookshelves does not increase the chance of getting more or better enchantments. --Fperson1 05:23, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

n Not sure if this is supposed to happen, but I managed to get a tripwire to trigger with the only thing intersecting the wire being a dropped redstone torch. This occurred when I destroyed the block the redstone torch was on in creative mode, causing it to drop onto the wire and activate it. The circuit was not previously being affected by the presence of the redstone before block deletion so I am certain it is related to the dropped redstone torch intersecting the wire. This might be intended but I'm fairly sure it's not intended. Pharap 16:54, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It's intended. From the wiki: "To activate a Tripwire when it is connected, an entity (mobs, minecarts, boats, arrows, items, etc.) must move on, through or over it." dropped items (like your torch) are entities. --5thHorseman 23:01, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

s When crouching next to a block that has vines, the player will "glide" as if on ice.

fspI destroyed many ice-blocks in a frozen lake with an enchanted axe (fortune III, efficence IV, unbreaking III) until the axe broke. The last ice-block disappeared and there was a hole. Around it there was water. I couldn't swim through it. I placed blocks from the bottom of the lake to the top and the ice-block I destroyed came back.
 * Something possibly related; I was digging down through dirt and heard a splash sound. about 5 blocks from surface, the dirt block I dug out turned into water instead of dropping, as did the ones beside it. --Fperson1 05:14, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Blocks
Bugs

! Pistons, set on a rapid delay, glitch out - Sometimes it is possible to create phantom blocks with the same properties as a normal block, but the phantom block doesn't drop anything when broken. When walking to a piston set on a rapid delay (see video), you will go up & down, shifting will make you go up even higher. Sometimes there is no sound when breaking a block in that contraption. See this video, it explains those bugs better. NiceMark 18:52, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

! Look straight down, jump and try to place a block. Sometimes it works, sometimes the block appears and then disappears. The previous snapshot did not have this issue. --Croftyraider 17:05, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I've seen this a lot with peaceful mobs (It would probably happen with hostiles too but they're - you know - hostile) nearby. It's like the client thinks it's OK to place the block (and it looks so to me as well) but the server is a tiny bit ahead of me so it sees that the mob has walked within the bounding box. I imagine it's similar when you're jumping. By the time the server sees that you want to place the block, you're already coming down. --5thHorseman 20:50, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have the same. When you manually click each block in good time, it is better. But this is a bug ofcourse. --velvetpro 21:40, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I noticed this within 2 minutes of trying the latest patch. That and the fact that signs' text from previous versions has become invisible. 78.105.8.153 14:42, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * What bothers me most about this sort of bug is that it only ever happened on multiplayer, prior to single player and multiplayer being merged... suddenly my nice fast single player world is slow and has glitches like this. Sigh. 78.105.8.153 14:53, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) Since the merge, "pillaring" is almost impossible due to the server and client being off a little. Every time you jump and place a block under you, the game thinks you were occupying that space and places and quickly deletes that block. Basically, holding right click ad the jump button to pillar doesn't work anymore- you have to time it perfectly for it to work.

undefined Tripwire hooks makes randomly block updates. It can be seen when tripwire hooks are connected to blocks that BUD or TBUD check.
 * This is a 12w26a video that exhibits the random block updates at 0:16 and 2:10 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INTTrFnO8X0 - They only seem to happen with a pair of hooks facing each other. --Steve G. Wood 02:44, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

undefinedmp Not sure if anyone has noticed, but when you place Redstone Dust on sand, then pressing the left mouse button and right very shortly after (Holding down once pressed), as expected, the redstone will appear then disappear, but it seems to change the metadata of the sand block to the following (There may be more): TNT, Bricks, Grass, Stone, Iron Block, and some others incomprehensible to see. The metadata changes around every tick, and it turns back to sand every other tick and continues until you stop doing the above. This is a bug, since I am deadly sure that doing the actions shouldn't do that, and to back it up, I DID look in the code, and found nothing of doing the bug in question. I did it on many servers, with both modded minecraft.jar's and vanilla minecraft.jar's. I have been unable to reproduce it in SP, only SMP.

 * Falling sand and gravel are entities and cob webs slow down every entity so thats more of an annoyance --Bljat 14:29, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That's the technical reason behind this bug but neither it's realistic in any way nor it makes sense for simple users who don't understand entities and it's probably not intended, too. Falling block entities should probably be unaffected by webs or they should destroy webs or maybe even become "solid" on top of them. -- JonHa97 07:27, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The reason this exists the way it is not to do with technical reasons, but because falling sand/gravel entities convert themselves to items when they fall on certain objects like torches, pressure plates, and of course spider webs, to name a few. Fixing this bug would cause Mojang some major headaches having to code different reactions for different blocks just because of an unrealistic behaviour, and would break anti-suffocation measures most players use when they want to dig upwards to collect blocks like sand or gravel.  I also think that this is both an annoyance and intended behaviour as cobwebs and gravel have interacted in this way ever since they were introduced in mineshafts.  I vote to downgrade this to annoyance or have it removed. BrickVoid 10:40, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Just because it was like this since the beginning doesn't mean it's intended. Might be just an oversight. And until a Mojang guy states that this is intended, I don't believe it, because it really looks stupid. On the other hand, falling sand on cobwebs is IMHO a rather unusual thing, so it's not really annoying. Might just leave this bug here until someone from Mojang fixes this or states that the current behavior is intended/not worth fixing. -- JonHa97 21:04, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I believe that a Mojang developer already stated in a previous snapshot version that this behaviour is intended and not actually a bug. However, it has been so long since that statement was made that I cannot find the relevant snapshot listing where this statement was made so a citation from someone would be needed stating on what page this wiki has them saying this.

a Holding vines in F5 mode will make the vines appear grey

a! Double Place: Often (very often several times in a row) when I attempt to place a block with a single right click, a second block instantaneously appears (often in the same frame). Second solid blocks are usually in the way, which can be disastrous when doing an emergency placement in battle. Non-solid second blocks (usually torches) often appear behind me. With this glitch, I always hear a second placement sound almost simultaneous with the first. I think this is a side effect of continuous placement mode (backpedaling or strafing to place many blocks with a single click), which I don't want to lose. My suggestion is to set block placement to "semi-automatic" (one click, one block) while holding shift. I also recommend this be done with breaking blocks in Creative, but should not be necessary in Survival. (Note: I do not believe the observed mid-air, behind-the-player dirt placement in this video (at 14:30) is related.) -- Featherwinglove 15:45, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Slow computers exhibit a noticeable lag spike when placing or removing blocks. During this lag spike, input is not refreshed but the counter for continuous placement still goes on causing blocks to be placed. Most probably a bug, since the timing should wait at least one frame before confirming more block placements as this can cause a chain reaction. --Steve G. Wood 18:44, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

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. --5thHorseman 19:58, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

a Mushroom blocks can't be harvested or placed properly, reverting to damage/data value 0, a block which appears to use the mushroom pore texture on all six sides. This makes it impossible to use the red, brown, and white mushroom block textures in creations without using pistons to push blocks around. It is also inconsistent with the expected behavior of silk touch: if silk touch is capable of harvesting a block, it should not transform it upon harvesting. Transforming a block upon its placement (which happens when placing mushroom blocks of any damage value, obtained through cheats available in vanilla) is also completely illogical and a roadblock to making things from the mushroom blocks. Perhaps mushroom blocks could be made properly harvestable as "Red/Brown Mushroom Top", "Red/Brown Mushroom Edge", "Red/Brown Mushroom Corner", and "Red/Brown Mushroom Stem", where the edge and corner blocks would be placed in a directional manner similar to pumpkins (upside-down mushroom blocks would not be available, as this would require splitting the current two mushroom block data values into multiple). --WolfieMario 13:44, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

f Many times while underground (This is only where I have noticed it), many blocks may be represented by a stone block, and will revert to their true image and properties if hit, or something is placed upon them. For example, while walking across a stone floor, it is possible to hear the noises of walking across gravel, and if you strike the blocks at your feet, they will turn into gravel. Or placing a torch on a stone wall will suddenly turn the block it was placed upon into dirt or gravel. This causes problems as it can also occur with blocks such as ores. Meaning that one can mine a vein of coal ore, only to miss some that simply look like stone until struck. This raises concerns of the possibility of passing up diamond ores for the same reason (While I have not seen this occur, I have no reason to believe it could not). If say a dirt block were represented by a stone block (I have also never seen any block other than stone behave this way. I have never seen a dirt block turn to stone nor any block turn to any other, other than stone turning to other blocks), and one were to destroy this block, it would respond to tools the same way a stone block would (be broken quickly by a pick), but when destroyed, is instantly and briefly replaced by a dirt block, then the dirt block disappears leaving a dirt block entity. In addition, although the stone block shares most of its properties with normal stone blocks, walking on it will produce the sound of walking on the block it represents, the dirt sound in this case. If one were to begin destroying this stone block and then stop, however, the stone block is then replaced by a dirt block and then has all the properties of a dirt block. A detonating creeper will also reveal the true identities of the stone blocks around it. However, if say a gravel block were represented by a stone block, and a creeper detonates standing near it, it will use stone's value of blast resistance during the explosion, then turn to gravel afterwards, creating the appearance of gravel or dirt being unnaturally close to an explosion.
 * This has happened to me several times also, and certainly not just underground. Started a new game, was seeking coal and dug out a small hole in a wall only to find cobblestone. Left to get coal elsewhere, returned to this "man made" hole I dug to find several coal blocks where actually there. Also dug out some cobblestone to be presented with dirt dropped. Quitting and reloading reveals the real blocks too, one area was showing cobblestone and I knew it was dirt, quit, reloaded and voila, it was dirt. Scary problem this, cos I could miss Diamonds! --Keogh 11:59, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Bugs

undefined When using an enchanted diamond pick when it gets to the end of its durability it breaks, but is still there as an invisible block in your inventory, when you attempt to use the invisible block you can still mine with it and the item icon comes back for approximately 2-3 hits before breaking for good. I think it may have something to do with the unbreaking enchantment.
 * You mean invisible item? If you don't hear the break sound it didn't actually break - if you right click it should come back. This bug is from the client trying to damage tools itself instead of letting the server tell it what is and isn't damaged. LB ( T 21:54, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I tried the seed also and nothing crashed. I see the source of water, however i am not able to use bucket on it. It is strange. It is a bug i think. --velvetpro 02:48, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I tried the seed and crashed soon after the world loaded. The errors were about java heap space, so i doubled minecraft's memory allowance. After that I still had massive lag, but was able to teleport to the water. I wasn't able to use a bucket on it, however the scooping animation still showed. Smashing an adjacent stone block caused the water to flow away. And as a test I tried to pick up the water flowing down the nearby ravine, and was able to. However, once the water finished flowing away I heard many instances of the water/lava hissing sound play at once, and the bucket emptied itself.  This may be caused by the server not telling the client to update the water, and the server thinks it is not there, while the client thinks it is.  Acomputerdog 18:07, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Switching to survival mode fixed the bucket issues, and behind the wall where the water was flowing I found a deep pit with lava and water falls coliding at the bottom. The water flows out the wall where the glitched water started, but then the lava turns part of the stream to stone/cobblestone, but does not update the water.  This may simply be a chuck update bug.   Acomputerdog 18:13, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Did you know that if you are in Creative mode, an empty bucket becomes a magic empty bucket? It will always remain empty irrespective of whether you fill it with lava or water.  It will briefly show the liquid it just picked up but is now programmed to immediately empty itself.  This was a recent and intentional design change to how buckets work in Creative mode.  I do not know how the empty buckets work on filling up with milk from cows and there is a milk bucket available in Creative inventory anyway, if you wanted to know.

Annoyances

Fixed/Skipped f To describe many of the bug reports related to world generation, when unpopulated chunks are populated, the new changes to the chunks aren't always correctly sent to the client. This means that if you walk a ways or mine long tunnels underground and go into newly generated chunks, ores veins and other features will be invisible until certain circumstances make them visible to the client. It shouldn't be a difficult fix to have the chunk population process inform the client of the changes. I believe this is a major bug because so many people are reporting problems related to it.

 * This is a bug, sir. Also, I did reproduce it at one point, with a Snow Golem in a Superflat world as part of an experiment with Endermen. The Enderman created the Snow Golem, was killed, and the Golem ran free, without leaving a trail. However, all the Snow Golems I've made in Survival have left trails of snow.

When they are on the upside-down slab, they're above the slab and therefore fully exposed to the sunlight. Basically, both blocks that the zombie/skeleton occupies on the Y-axis must be air that is exposed to the sun for them to burn, which is why they won't burn on a slab or on stairs, or in water. --Fperson1 03:43, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Mobs, including the player outside of Creative Mode, can breathe under lava. This is an oversight that has existed ever since Indev when the air meter was added to water, but Notch apparently forgot to add it to lava because back then it was impossible for any mob to survive under lava, which has changed since the addition of naturally fire-immune mobs in the Nether and potions of fire resistance. While it is true that it does not affect the gameplay much, it is still a bug.

I request that the rendering bugs I'm reporting be treated as major bugs, because if I cannot move around in Minecraft, I cannot play, if I cannot play, I do not see any further point in trying to test and identify bugs.

undefinedmp Right clicking a chest three times in rapid succession makes the chest appear to be stuck in the open position again. Needs a little bit of latency to reproduce. Using the chest once more makes it close as normal. --Steve G. Wood 12:38, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Sometimes, the bugged chest will invert its open state i. e. it will close when you are using the chest. --Steve G. Wood 12:38, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It's actually just if you right click a chest more than once before it opens. It has been a bug in SMP for a while now - I think chests keep track of how many people are 'in' them by adding to a value when you right click and subtracting when you exit. Thus if you right click twice before it opens, it only subtracts once when it closes. LB ( T 22:16, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Stairs have misaligned textures. They look different when placed in N-S direction than in E-W. Often the texture of stairs doesn't tile properly with the rest of the blocks with the same texture (most obvious on Stone Brick Stairs). Backsides of stairs also look rather strange. --Kcin 14:38, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined mp Sometimes when it's either raining or there is a thunderstorm, the sky shows incorrect colours, especially at dawn or dusk. This is also true when in F1 mode while pausing. An effect that rarely happens with the latter bug is the whole pause screen dims and the sky in the background turns an odd colour.

a! Interface redrawing is slowed signifcantly by in-game lag. What happens is that whenever I am in a jungle and experiencing lag, I hit Esc to enter into the UI to swap the graphics from Fancy to Fast, but doing this very thing means that the UI is lagged very badly until the Fast graphics are actually enabled in the UI. If Mojang could at least separate the draw/redraw of the UI from the draw/redraw of the world rendering I would be able to at least swap to a different rendering mode much more easily. Additionally, if Mojang could come up with an interim fix for jungle biomes that limits the amount of lag they are allowed to force into the rendering of the jungle biome until Mojang get to fixing it in 1.4 that would be very helpful to people lagging in jungle biomes. BrickVoid 00:25, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * An update to this bug, the lag still seems to happen in jungle biomes but the client is now apparently capable of reducing it although the fact still remains that jungles cause lag under certain circumstances. To anyone else experiencing this lag in a world generated in a snapshot prior to this snapshot, the current 12w27a snapshot does still lag in the same manner if you load a world generated in a previous snapshot with jungle lag problems.  The lag the old snapshot generated may still cause the same lag, however, generating the same world seed with the new snapshot seems to cut down the jungle biome lag to almost nothing.  I've tested this with a seed I use a lot, and it would appear that a big lag problem at the moment seems to be jungle temples, I don't know if this is directly related to the temples themselves, however, the temporary workaround I found for the last snapshot still seems to work.  Go to the graphics option, and then switch from Fancy to Fast graphics.  Switching back to Fancy graphics also appears possible if sufficient time is given for the client to recover while in Fast graphics mode. BrickVoid 05:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I've changed this to a major annoyance. It's not a bug but it is annoying. I split the interface annoyance away from the "jungle lag" issue. I have also altered the start of the report because of the split. --Mattrition 10:22, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I've moved the attribution line for Mattrition's statement up here as I think it may have been unintentionally moved to the wrong position and got orphaned in the move. If Mattrittion wants it attributed elsewhere please shift it to where it belongs. BrickVoid 06:51, 9 July 2012 (UTC)


 * How is it possible that an actual bug that affects the interface is considered an annoyance? This is code which is defective because it's not doing what it's intended to do, therefore I request that you upgrade this major annoyance of mine to a minor bug.  I've also slightly altered the start of the annoyance report:  I changed the ? to a . because it really isn't a question now. BrickVoid 21:26, 6 July 2012 (UTC)


 * We have no proof that this problem is caused by defective code. It could just be the way the game is made, and therefore not a true bug. Until proof is shown that it is caused by bad code (and not just the way the render code works), I believe this should stay as an annoyance, not a bug. Aside from that, I fully support this annoyance.--Marioman66 01:10, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have evidence that it has something to do with the allocation of resources to the gamerenderer section, specifically the the updatechunks section somewhere in that branch. The fact that it happens a lot in newly generated worlds from the same seed but not in an older version of the same seed suggests to me that there is an out of control section of code underlying the gamerenderer that needs to be examined and checked to make sure it's not trying to overrun the rendering with too many rendering jobs at once. Also please see the additional information I've added under the bug portion of this submission which Mattrition split off.  I feel that my annoyance should either be reinstated to a bug status or filed as a separate additional bug within the graphical/lighting section, and I do not think of this as an annoyance, especially since annoyances don't usually point to very specific sections of code in the way this one seems to be pointing. BrickVoid 06:51, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that this should be a bug. It may be the way the coding works, but that doesn't necessarily mean it isn't a bug. What if the new AI code for Creepers worked in such a way that Creepers could move through blocks whilst chasing the player? That would be a bug, though the coding explicitly allows it. --Fperson1 03:29, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
