 * Marked as minor bug as any crash is beyond "annoyance" IMHO. It might be a major bug if the crash is related to world loading. I also fixed the headers for this section, they were in the wrong order -- Featherwinglove 10:29, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Gameplay
Bugs ! After his death his spawn point changes, precluding the gameplay of some custom maps, and compass does not point to their spawn point. NOTE: also the definition Without the bed, the bed works, the problem is with the natural spawning
 * Confirmed, I've seen this occur with certain maps. --Nathan2055 16:04, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * (Duplicate merged 16:04, 28 July 2012 (UTC)) With Single/Multi-Player Mode Merged, Spawning now works like it does in Multi-Player for Single Player maps. This breaks the Spawn points in my maps, and it will break the spawn points in any other user made map, unless they set the player spawn with a bed (not always possible - depending on the map type) or start the player in a 20x20 room. It would be nice to have a way to control the spawn point, maybe in creative, for map makers. --Brandonn

! Lingering in a Dungeon with an active Spawner (i.e. unlit by torches) the arrows of false-spawned Skeletons are fired at, and inflict damage on, the player. Video Zingrook 20:00, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * 404 on "false-spawned", can you please explain or provide a link to an explanation? -- Featherwinglove 10:32, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Happened to me yesterday while playing with slightly earlier snapshots (Both 12w30c and 12w30e I can confirm this with.) All instances were SSP on Peaceful. The spawner fires an arrow roughly from the same height as spawner it's self, rather than where a skeleton would normally be firing. (it appeared that way anyway.) No skeleton model appeared in any of these instances, though the spawner did spin faster, and generate fire particles as if it were attempting to spawn one. The arrows seem to be fired during the tick where the skeleton would normally spawn. Arrow could not be collected after firing. (For me atleast.) --184.52.125.240 12:50, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Odd. First of all, skeleton arrows can't be picked up. Secondly, this is most likely a bug that involves the skeleton firing in the same tick that the game despawns him in, resulting in no model appearing. However, I don't think this is major. Consensus to downgrade? --Nathan2055 16:04, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Since we just had the "nerfing" of TNT in peaceful mode, the chance, however small, that a player could actually take damage from something that they didn't intend, should merit this a bit more attention. Conversely it is a minor annoyance and could stand to stay in a for a few more versions, so long as it's a notable issue in those versions' bug lists. --184.52.125.240 22:33, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

! Traveling to and from the Nether is still frequently failing to render the world, resulting in either the player falling out of the world to their death or getting stuck in the unrendered terrain. 69.113.144.41 14:30, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a major bug that is resulting in many players losing good gear, so I moved it to the top.
 * Tested this on a SMP server, seems to be a chunk loading error...doesnt always happen though. Happens more often when you leave the nether and enter the nether rapidly. --Hazado22 17:59, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I had this happen to me. /tp'd out of the area into the main area (I had managed to get stuck at y=20 and not fall farther), and found LOTS of unloaded chunks. A long row of them about 5 or 6 chunks from the portal, and a couple at the portal. --Keybounce 04:25, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have also experienced this. It never happened in 12w27a, and occured sometime between then and 1.3 preview. 05:16, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Also happens to me, multiplayer and singleplayer. Roughly 50% of the time, immediately post-warp, the local chunks will take too long to load, causing me to fall through the world. 76.121.2.134 00:46, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Can you get a crash report? --Acomputerdog 13:11, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This should be upgraded to critical if a crash report can be obtained. If it exits showing a Minecarft logo and a crash report, check in .minecraft\crash-reports for the latest file.

! The builtin "speedhack" detection breaks elevators and other legitimate piston contraptions that transport a player "too fast". It manifests itself as getting stuck in the device due to the movement, caused by the piston pushing the player, being denied by the server.

 * I have encountered this problem in several of the prerelease versions, but it fixes its self every now and then. Not sure of the exact cause. --Osiris08 of mcworldmap.com
 * This has been happening to me pretty often. Random signs are blank, sometimes all in an area.  They're never blank when loading into a world with signs in the initial chunks, but once the chunk(s) are unloaded and reloaded the signs may be blank.  Seems problem could be related to render distance, as I use Normal distance/32-bit Java; others with Far distance don't seem to have the problem (or at least as often).Jovet 09:08, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Exiting boats cause them to break when next to a wall. Logging off ejects you from the boat. (Bug report added with tampered signature, submitter unknown)
 * Smells like your Minecraft server exceeded your physical memory and started using virtual memory. Make sure the computer it is on has at least 1GB for the server (2GB total memory), and if the system meets that, you can adjust the server's memory allocation with the instructions here. Also try the same thing with 1.2.5 and see if the behaviour changes. -- Featherwinglove 10:42, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, someone altered my bug report. This report was not mine, but the tail end ("Multiplayer, ... " through to signature), was mine. My report was about the nether far UP the page. I do not know who reported the boat issue here. Keybounce 19:20, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

undefinedmpcr Not sure what this would be considered, (glitch?); but when I click rapidly on an item (Creative mode in Multi-player) it will sometimes duplicate or disappear completely. What i did was I kept left clicking rapidly and repeatedly on an item (not moving the cursor) and it sometimes leaves a (usable?) dupe or will have 2 of the item then they quickly vanish.
 * This can be easily reproduced if you take a stack of 64 items and button-mash the right click putting them into your inventory, you will end up with less than 64 items (haven't tried in survival mode, only creative). --24.13.232.201 05:57, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

undefinedmp When travelling on Minecarts on multiplayer, your character may take damage.

undefinedmp I was playing on the latest prerelease connected via localhost to my own server. I was breaking a fence block with an iron axe when, all of a sudden, my axe moved in slow motion. It happened right as the fence block broke, so the particles that came off of it moved in slow motion as well. I looked around, and everything went back to normal. In the split second between me breaking the fence and it stopping the slow-time thing, I looked around and it was as if I had pressed F8 with my mouse sensitivity turned very far down. Also, right after this happened I checked the server log and it said "[WARNING] Time moved backwards! Did the system time change?" teke0884 3:07 28 July 2012
 * This seems to be a new tickrate timing mechanism, as it also happens when the server is on overload. Maybe a protection feature? --Steve G. Wood 18:56, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined? Redstone circuits seem to be more reliable over short distances than before though the traveling length has been shortened to almost half of what it used to be, in certain circuits and track systems this had caused an inconvenience because they now fail to work. Circuits stop at a repeater level, the chunk for the region has also been loaded as tall towers are visible but redstone seems to not reach anymore. --- Chris 16:41, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what you mean. Redstone distances weren't altered in 1.3. Downgrading to unreproducible until further evidence is shown. --Nathan2055 16:04, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

 * At first make sure that the server is running also 1.3pre, secondly blame the authors of the mods and plugins for that problems. --Kumasasa 07:57, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Not an issue with Minecraft. --Nathan2055 16:04, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Allow me to correct something here: There are _NO_ mods or plugins installed. This was last night on my server. This is stock 1.3 prerelease. About the only thing I can think of is that we (three of us) -- the two other players were in an extreme hills a good distance from spawn (about 200 blocks or so). However, even teleporting Alex to the site of the hills where the rest of us were did not change anything. Upgrading back to bug. --Keybounce 19:05, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

a! Villager trading is still very much imbalanced. Non-farmables are undervalued, e.g. 4-5 diamond must be sold for a single emerald. Meanwhile, farmable items are overvalued, e.g. 19-29 paper for an emerald. With a sufficiently large sugarcane farm, I have been able to earn around 7.44 stacks of emerald in an hour, and while this is not in and of itself bad, these emeralds can be spent of many diamond items. The net result is a far bigger earning from farming than the most efficient mining practices, even with Fortune III. In fact, just one harvesting of the farm nets a player several doublechests of diamond items, which is very overpowered. In addition, many prices are nonsensical, e.g. iron and gold are considered equal in value, and mundane items such as compasses are considered more valuable than diamond tools.

A proposed fix would be to make prices based on their cost in raw materials, and rank the materials roughly in line with their actual rarity. Farmables should have a very low value compared to non-renewable items such as mineables, because the current system leaves major exploitability from farms. Farmable offers should not be removed, of course, as it does still take time and effort to build farms, harvest them, and make the trades. One can consider comparing the amount of time it takes to farm a given amount of an item to the amount of time it takes to come across a given amount of another item when mining.

Server administrators are considering disabling trading and villagers on their servers because of the current imbalance, so this is a major annoyance. --WolfieMario 16:49, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Someone also made a detailed report on an older snapshot on how villager trading is not renewable too. It needs major attention. --Steve G. Wood 18:56, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

 * There are others. Basically, fixed prices that do not respond to what's happening / supply / demand will "never" be the right price. These are, as I said in a now locked thread, worthless. Remember, people have found that the best way to deal with NPC villagers right now is to kill NPC's that don't have wanted trade offers just to keep getting new ones. --Keybounce 19:05, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

acr Flying through Vines or Cobweb in Creative Mode is slowing down the player. --Swekob 10:47, 27 July, 2012 (Swedish time)

a The new F3 altitude indicator is a little confusing, implying that the altitude is in the US standard unit "feet" more than its intention of indicating the position of the player's feet. My own nomenclature is "standing on", probably resulting in "y-so: 82.000, y-eye: 83.620" to be consistent with the debug screen's existing personality. -- Featherwinglove 00:46, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I've found this is avoidable when dropping by not looking at the ground when double tapping. --Spoke 23:01, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This is not a bug, but more of a performance issue for your computer, I think that there should be an option for flying by double tapping space, or a toggling key. --BEASTpoint2 2:20, 27 July 2012 (EST)

So, for safety, one should be placed on the nearest open block at the level of the track.  If one cannot be found, then they should be standing inside the cart. 74.171.217.73 15:40, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Fixed/Skipped

Blocks
Bugs !I reported a bug that causes the player to place two blocks in one frame in the report page for the 12w27a snapshot. Further along, I discovered that this also messes with doors, levers, and gates, where two inputs cause two state changes and thus a return to the state you are trying to frob the device from. Now that I'm playing with Pre-release 1.3, I've now discovered that this bug can also place blocks in the space the player character is occupying, probably related to the fix countering the pillaring problem associated with merge lag. Shortly before this video begins, I was trapped on the edge of the roof I was building and had to fall from it to escape. If such a thing happens while bridging in the Nether, it could be fatal. I have not yet tested for suffocation damage, but I'm expecting to find that as well. I therefore think the problem of the pillaring fix combined with the old double-input bug forms a major problem in Minecraft 1.3. Featherwinglove 00:33, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yet today i covered the top of a hole going down to bedrock (and that's a lot of blocks to update light on, so i got a huge lag spike) and when it resumed i had placed blocks all the way to my face. --Steve G. Wood 04:07, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I haven't suffocated myself on it yet, but I'm having planks double place so consistently that I am wearing out axes removing them. I just had eleven double places in a row in a building interior that didn't have a lot to render. -- Featherwinglove 11:04, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Intended and I don't see why this has to go. -- Mustek 10:25, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Dinnerbone (I think) has stated that one difference between tripwire and pressureplates is that tripwires can float. I would be disappointed if they took this away, as it's one of the biggest points to using them, and I have plenty of contraptions that rely on floating tripwire. --WolfieMario 12:03, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I would like this mechanic to stay aswell, but with one modification: Rather than having to "stack" string on top of it's self to make lines, it would be far easier, and all around smarter to allow "stringing" directly horizontally from the tripwire hook it's self. This would allow quicker builds, as well as cleaner setup in general, plus it would allow you to build tripwire receivers across ravines. Why you would need to I have no idea, but I am sure there is a use, possibly involving TNT Cannons/Mob Launchers, some sort of "accuracy challenge." --184.52.125.240 13:24, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it would make more sense to string directly onto a hook, and I'd really like that. Of course, string should still also be placeable against other string, to make stringing across gaps actually possible. I suppose placing string vertically on other strings isn't necessary, but I don't see any problem with leaving that in as well. --WolfieMario 14:35, 27 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)

a Max height bug: Solid blocks can be placed until "max height -1", several other blocks can be placed on top, so the "max height": flowers, tall grass, sugar cane, torches. This itself might be a bug, it might not be, no idea. But there is an error message if you manage to place a sugar cane block on 256 and THEN try to place any block on TOP of that. You receive the "Height limit for building is 256" message (in my case). Why does this message not occur if I try to place a solid block inside 256 (which might actually be possible as it is the max height)? 80.130.166.91 16:53, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I think he means that when you use a dispenser to spawn the original spiders (NOT tested with cave spiders) from their spawn egg, that the spider created, even against the side of a glass block, will take damage (suffocate, as the OP put it) when they are created with their model partly inside the glass block. This is due to their model exceeding a one block size, and the spawn egg placement code not accounting for the spider's size when placing it. This is really annoying since it's very hard to make test builds of mob systems using spider spawn eggs in Creative mode, or to use spiders in dispenser setups when making custom maps for this reason.BrickVoid 21:17, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Chunks are occasionally still having problems rendering until you are right up against them. See here for a screenshot. --Mattrition 15:44, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I can confirm this. I have lost several boats because the shore did not appear until I hit it.  I have also seen mobs standing up on blocks that haven't rendered yet.  --CorbinSchmorbin 01:28, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Thunderstorms don't make the sky go dark making it difficult to determine between rainy weather and thunderstorm. Tested from two different computers running Windows in both SP and MP, one which had a fresh install of MC in case of mod interference. Started up a new map and typed in /toggledownfall where it immediately starts a thunderstorm. Alternatively, opened up a save file where a thunderstorm left off with same output. --69.248.203.101 21:52, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Cannot reproduce. Sky darkens as expected, Mobs are spawning... --Kumasasa 09:26, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Mobs still spawn as normal, but the sky doesn't change from left to right as indicated in this photo: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y284/Alexnyc8214/WeatherGlitch.png Not sure what else can be causing it but I hope it fixes, so I can stop playing guessing games with mob spawning... --Alexnyc8214 19:45, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Lighting glitch in corner of a room where wooden plank walls meet slab ceiling. It was dark outside without any torches or light sources around. Screenshot --Spoke 16:31, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I am seeing a similar glitch with slabs put on the bottom of the ceiling blocks above. If the entire rectangular ceiling area is filled-in with upside-down slabs, all of the upside-downs slabs will be completely dark.  The wall blocks are fine.  Removing some slabs reduces the blackness. The bottom surface with spotty slabs is rendered mostly normal though some are obviously darker than they should be.  The adjacent wall material seems to matter not and isn't affected. ---Jovet 09:40, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances

a! XP Orbs will crowd around the camera while they are being collected. This is extremely annoying, especially with ghost orbs. [[media:Annoying_orbs.png]] --Steve G. Wood 23:55, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

a Non-block item drops are invisible from behind. Makes it hard to see items on lower levels. --Steve G. Wood 23:55, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Fixed/Skipped

Sounds
Bugs

!mpFootstep sounds and probably some other sounds like splashing into water, eating, or placing blocks are delayed depending on the player's ping(server-sided) which is really annoying, This continued through the recent snapshots too, Please fix.
 * Confirmed. If the server lagspikes, all sounds lagspike too, which is weird. NeonJ 17:59, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This is probably the MOD API's beginnings. As in, the server controlling which sounds play and where. --Steve G. Wood 23:23, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This should REALLY be fixed before the 1.3 release. This really hurts SMP experience. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 11:57, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

undefinedSu Fire extinguish sounds do not play in survival mode, instead the hit sound of the block under the cursor behind the fire plays. I haven't heard them once while testing 1.3-pre. They do, however, work in creative mode. Switching back and forth between survival and creative does not change anything, they always work in creative and never in survival. (tested on two PCs, Win 7 and Linux, in SP and a remote server) Masa 19:59, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined The exit teleportation sound does not play when using a Nether portal. 71.49.73.93 00:40, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Same applies for Ender portals. --69.248.203.101 21:16, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances

a!Walking on some blocks (such as wood) is about 25% the volume of walking on dirt and breaking certain blocks barely makes any sound at all. There is also no sound when the blocks are collected. --90.216.71.169 17:20, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This has been a glitch since Alpha. A fix is to restart the game, but a TRUE fix would be nice. NeonJ 17:59, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Doesn't help - I've even reverted to 1.25 and it is still there. I'm willing to bet that this is something to do with updating to OSX 10.8. I don't know how to report that other than shove a in front of my report on this page. --90.216.71.169 19:01, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I am running the 12w30b snapshot and after upgrading to OS X 10.8 I am having this sound problem. I can barely hear myself walking or breaking blocks but other sounds, such as sheep, are just as loud as ever. --205.162.236.162 19:59, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Also having this problem. All the common sounds are noticeably quieter; here is a list of files from the "resources" folder that play quieter (sometimes so quiet you can barely here: /random/pop.ogg (my favourite one!), random/splash.ogg and /liquid/splash.ogg don't work if you jump in (if you walk or fall it's fine), /portal/trigger.ogg doesn't but I don't think it ever did, and everything in /step/ (which I think includes break/place sounds, because those don't work either).
 * I don't see half the stuff that you mentioned in the resources folder anyway only /step but the volume issue makes it extremely unpleasant to play the game. It is especially jarring when you've been walking on wood or stone and step onto grass and the sound is loud because you'd turned the volume way up. I also miss the pop sound and the sound of block breaking. I really hope there's a fix for this soon! I want to start a new 1.3 world. --Tseotet 16:28, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Updating LWJGL has fixed it for me. (Thanks to Sko on Minecraft Forum for the idea). I suspect LWJGL will be updated properly with the full version of 1.3 anyway. --Tseotet 19:24, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you find that updating LWJGL causes errors in window size scaling? When I increase the window size with LWJGL active (doesn't include before logging in, that's when I can change the size), the view magnifies. The screen also flickers, unless in fullscreen.

Bugs undefinedcr When you holding the E button(open inventory button) the inventory will show up and quick close down.--Swekob 17:52, 26 July, 2012 (Swedish time)
 * Confirmed. --Nathan2055 17:34, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined? The texturepack resolution in snooper settings is alwas 16, even if you using a texturepack with higher resolution. I've tested this with the latest version of Misa's texturepack. Maybe important: I have no hd-patcher installed. --Citiroller 17:59, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * You have to have an HD patcher for that to work. --Nathan2055 18:13, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Confirmed. I have patched with the latest MCPatcher and have a 32x pack enabled. --BEASTpoint2 9:57, 27 July 2012 (EST)

Annoyances

a! The main menu flashes twice while loading/creating a world. --Spoke 22:57, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm getting the same double flash on Windows (therefore, removed OSX tag.) --Pteprocks 23:36, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * When I load a level, the world often flashes twice too, and then the camera briefly warps into the block beneath me, then the world loads. --Acomputerdog 14:07, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Unable to reproduce that, sounds weird though. Have you got any more details you could add? --Spoke 16:54, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

a On main menu, the version says 1.3 w/o the prerelease word. 142.167.246.82 14:30, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It's on purpose, because this version is likely to be the one that will be released next week. -- Mustek 14:37, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * With all these bugs? Harumph. 68.194.222.138 21:14, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah it seems like a lot of these bugs (if not all) will have to be carried forward at least until the next snapshot. Not many were fixed yesterday, the deadline seems a bit too soon. --Spoke 23:06, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

a The y coordinates have 3 decimals instead of 5(I don't know if this is intentional) --Swekob 18:29, 26 July, 2012 (Swedish time)
 * Had to be shorter because it now shows feet and eye levels. Why do you require further precision? Downgraded to annoyance -- Mustek 17:32, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I read somewhere this was intentional, no real need for the extra decimals anyway. --Spoke 22:57, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Coordinates should be rounded to the nearest quarter or so, all those flashing numbers make it hard to read. --Steve G. Wood 23:27, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

a Kinda always wondered why this is, but every time I log off from a game my achievements are reset. Never been able to get them all because of that.
 * I believe the offline achievements are stored in the Stats folder. Check if your file isn't corrupt. --Steve G. Wood 23:27, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Whenever I create a new level, my achievements are reset for all my levels. --Acomputerdog 14:09, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

In-Game Interfaces/HUD
Bugs undefined? If you shift + left click a cooked or smelted item you don't get the experience orbs.
 * Can't reproduce. Orbs don't appear if you're close to the furnace, but it should still ring and add to your bar. -- Mustek 17:43, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined You can't enchant anything between 21-29 levels with 15 bookcases. - Screenshot – xPaw at 13:23, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The screenshot does not clearly demonstrate this as the player is in Survival and does not have enough XP for such enchantments. Please provide a better example. --Steve G. Wood 16:17, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I've done more tests and am unable to repro either. Please show us a better example. Thanks, Nathan2055 17:31, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Ew. Just place 15 bookcases around enchanting table, get 25 levels, and try to use them all at once. Highest available level will be ~20 at second row, and third one will be stuck at 30. – xPaw at 10:05, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I can confirmed this, since the max level and enchanting were changed I have not had any enchantments between 21-29. I get 30 almost every time, however. --Acomputerdog 14:12, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Same here. --Spoke 16:56, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * One way to fix this is to block off some of the bookcases with torches so they temporarily don't affect the table. --98.209.14.109 09:34, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Suggested solution: Having the third enchantment clamp to the player's level instead of always showing 30. --Steve G. Wood 00:43, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Hitting Escape, or alt-tab, will not always bring up the mouse pointer on screen; it sometimes stays hidden. Only tested on 10.7.4, with the older Lwjgl (not 2.8.4). --Keybounce 19:47, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Not a problem in Windows. Added OS label. --Steve G. Wood 00:43, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances acr In the survival tab of the creative mode interface you can not shift click armor into armor slots.
 * Added annoyance picture. --Swekob 17:13, July 26, 2012 (Swedish time)
 * The Shift key already has a function, and it clashes in Creative mode. I suggest having the delete function be moved to a different key. --Steve G. Wood 16:17, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Shift-click is set to delete in creative (left over from the old interface). I agree with Steve above, this needs to be moved. --Nathan2055 17:31, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

a When achievements get reset, you have to make a _WOOD_ sword, hoe, or pick to advance past the starting point. Please change this to _ANY_. --Keybounce 19:59, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Chat/Commands
Bugs undefined /tell command is still missing. --Warr1024 15:03, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * /Tell isn't need so it isn't a bug, it's more of a annoyance. (Moved to Annoyance from Bugs) --Fluffyman24 15:27, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * A defective feature is technically a bug. Upgrading. --Steve G. Wood 16:19, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined The server does not display a "user tried server command: cmd" message when a non-op user enters a command that is invalid or ops-only. This breaks server wrappers that depend on this as a mechanism for allowing non-op players to issue custom commands. Classified as a bug because it's a regression in a long-standing existing feature. --Warr1024 16:30, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I noticed that yesterday. Testing in pre-release. --Nathan2055 16:55, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The display in the client ("Unknown command. Type /help for a command list.") is fixed. Can someone test the server display? Thanks, Nathan2055 17:26, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This bug was not related to the "Unknown command" display in console; I have been following this bug since 12w25a and was never aware of that having been an issue. The problem is that when an in-game non-op player tries a command like "/custom", no message whatsoever displays on the console, which is a regression from v1.2 and earlier behavior. --Warr1024 17:29, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Commands entered with all caps (/KILL) don't work. However, commands in all lowercase (/kill) do work. --Nathan2055 17:28, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined "seed" command issued to the server console (i.e. not as a player) does not work; it says "You must specify which player you wish to perform this action on." Unless an explicit seed was specified in the server.properties file, a server administrator cannot find out the seed to his/her own world without logging into the game, or using an NBT tool. --Warr1024 19:17, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Issuing the command "seed Player" when player "Player" is logged into the server will also produce the same error message, instead of either displaying the seed, or telling Player the seed, contrary to what the error message implies. --Warr1024 19:32, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined In the 1.3 prerelease, on Mac OS X 10.8 (hasn't been reported/tested on other platforms), clicking the "delete"(backspace) button deletes the whole word instead of a letter or space. - [July 26th, 4:00 PM EST]
