Bugs

!! Crash report below. undefined
 * Probably it's your Java version (I don't know if Apple provides more java updates to 10.5, for me on Lion, it does) --83.38.243.162 15:51, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * What caused the crash?? --Mattrition 10:52, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Just started the server and waited for five minutes. This has happened for every version since 12w16a. --66.133.216.4

!!? Potential odd, but very serious crash. crashes ALL keyboard/mouse input, rendering the entire laptop/PC unplayable. game continues, while any buttons pressed remain pressed. Has only happened to me while playing Minecraft. Has only happened in a recent snapshot. I very rarely go in Singleplayer, so may or may not be multiplayer exclusive. while extremely serious, is fairly uncommon. I run a high-end Alienware laptop, so memory consumption is not a factor in my opinion. Can any other users confirm this is a Minecraft bug? --Kizzycocoa 21:08, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Not seen so far with this snapshot. Anything else updated except Minecraft ? Yesterday was Microsoft-Patchday and Oracle issued Java 7U5 a few days ago... --Kumasasa 21:29, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Always when I'm push the open texturepack folder button minecraft freeze. I have to use the taskmanager to stop minecraft. Then the windows message appears java se binary don't react anymore (I think so, because my message is in german). This happens also in a new fresh installation of minecraft 1.2.5 and in all snapshots later. My system is Win 7 64 bit with the newest oracle java sdk 7u5 64 bit (not updated, new installed) and a fresh minecraft 1.2.5 installation. I have tested all java 64 bit versions since 7. Please don't write that it work for you, because I heard this before. I don't understand why this happens on my computer, I have a new Dell XPS Laptop and all programs fresh installed. --reptile311
 * As much as I'd love to help, I can't reproduce this on 1.2.5 or any snapshot that follows. I have a Dell Inspiron N5030 with Windows 7 Ultimate and Java JDK 7u5 64-bit. --CaMoreno3 16:45, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Can it be a thing with the rights in Win 7? I have the minecraft launcher in a folder in the standard download folder from user (Hubertus, my username). Only the launcher .minecraft is in the roaming folder.
 * May be a rights problem. Well, my advice would be "Don't do that then", but seriously: Put all the stuff in the %appdata%/.minecraft folder and give it a try. --Kumasasa 06:56, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Do you all have admin rights in that texture folder directory or does have Java / The launcher admin rights to open that folder ? Does it work when the launcher ist started with "Run as amdmin" ? --Kumasasa 06:56, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I have tested it (run as admin), it is the same as above. It is equal which launcher I use (original or magic). I have all rights in the folder (full access, windows says I am the owner). If the launcher or java have full access, I don't know and I don't know how to verify it. --reptile311

a cr Some blocks drop themselves after destroying them. Like: TNT, top of a door/iron door, Block 34 (Piston Arm), Paintings and the pillow side of the bed.

a Some systems may experience a FPS drop since 12w18a varying from 10 to 3 fps when in 1.2.5 average was of 10-30 fps (My system specs: 32-bit processor, less than 2 GB or RAM, 512 MB Video Card, Windows XP SP2). --Manuelschi 17:22, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * My Mac and Win XP systems that I used, experienced the "connect" bug at that time, when the server first came with the jar. That bug itself has been fixed, but later effects are still there, such as lag, the recent lag with the game updating the level, and "Can't keep up!" issues. Also, this issue is more persistent on farther renders. --Wormy14 11:14, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

a User death messages are displayed in chat but not recorded in the server.log file. This can make it tricky to settle disputes on vanilla servers. --Darkinnit 20:22, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

a The console is heavily spammed with "Can't keep up!" messages, with kilobytes of logging data, making up 99% of the console log, and making it necessary to offset the log to save the CPU (automatically). Occurs even on lowest renders, but more persistent on higher ones. --Wormy14 11:20, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

a Minecraft server was would previously not scramble server.properties, when no new properties were added by version upgrade. But now it scrambles them every time. (by scrambling i mean it clears all added new empty lines and comments) --109.240.215.96 07:41, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is just a guess based on my knowledge of Java, but first understand that .properties files have special ways to modify them via Java built-in libraries. Even if none of the properties has changed, the file will be re-written if the program requests a save.  I think that because the server is now for singleplayer too Minecraft must expect that the properties may change due to singleplayer GUI so it requests a save, which changes the properties file.
 * Client could do that modifying before launching server. So when independent server is launched it does not happen, that is one I'm talking about. --109.240.21.11 20:46, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

 * I hate this bug. If you wait a looooooong time, it will unfreeze. It is probably related to the server merge. --bcnjr5 11:04, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that it has something to do with the server merge because it first appeared for me with the 12w18a snapshot, which I believe is the first to incorporate the server merge. This bug has been there since.  I keep having to roll-back to the 12w17a snapshot.  I truly hope this is fixed before the 1.3 release, because it is a gamebreaker for me. --71.61.206.196 21:14, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

a The enchantments with "Protection" in the name besides Protection don't provide more protection to a specific thing than Protection does, making those enchantments completely outclassed by Protection.

a The player cannot swim out of downward flowing water while drowning. The damage taken produces a small amount of knockback, which in combination with the flow, keeps the player from swimming out of the water. --CaMoreno3 15:16, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is different from the behavior in 12w23b, as the player was unable to swim out of water (while drowning, regardless of flow) or lava at all. The player can now swim out of lava regardless of flow. The change leads me to believe that this annoyance has been addressed. Is the inability to escape downward flowing water intentional? --CaMoreno3 15:16, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

a If a dispenser has both a lava bucket and a water bucket inside occasionally one will overwrite the other. (e.g. Lava bucket dispensed, then water bucket dispensed leaving water dispensed and two empty buckets.) -- LilDaveyP
 * Lava and water can be overwritten by any block, even each other. You have to wait lava or water to spread if you want it to not get overwritten. --109.240.215.96 08:22, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * If there is a water/ lava block in place surely it should first attempt to put it back into a bucket before overwriting the source block; as a new game mechanic it may not yet be sorted in which order it does these different actions. -- LilDaveyP
 * You would have to break already in function that makes it use random item. Solution to your problem is, use two dispensers, and be aware of state of your buckets when controlling them. --109.240.215.96 11:23, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * If that were the effect desired then it would fix it. However, when trying to make a design using this mechanic (e.g advanced probability generator) it renders it inoperable. The 'fix' for this would be for the dispenser to first check if the liquid can be returned, if not then dispensing its usual random item. -- LilDaveyP
 * Maybe someone uses it like this: Add bucket of water, and random other random items that isn't any bucket. They want it to spell out random item or stop the flow. But this would not become impossible to make, just complex. How about if it detected if there are 2 buckets, and one was empty, and other had opposite liquid, then it would fill it. OR make use of 8th bit on dispenser to determine it's operating mode: logic or random. --109.240.21.11 07:45, 17 June 2012 (UTC)]
 * If you're thinking what I think you're thinking then it'd work fine. I'll quickly explain so you get it; pillar containing dispensers and signs to stop the water sources flowing anywhere. Top dispenser ejects random item, other dispensers randomly dispense water/ lava. If water it carries on flowing, if not the item burns and doesn't pass on a signal at a pressure plate at the bottom. (If you had one liquid dispenser with 4 water 5 lava there would be 4/9 of a chance that a signal would be produced). It would be nice for something to be done to enable some cool designs in this manner. :) -- LilDaveyP
 * I love it! Exact control over probability. So looks like it's going to need that 8th bit on dispenser. (By the way, I built device that randomly selects between lava and water (with two dispensers, one with lava, other with water). Made blueprints and everything.) --109.240.21.11 15:37, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Further observation: When turning with the boat while holding the map, the arrow (direction indicator) on the map rotates way too fast (two or three rotations per player rotation) and seconds later it will eventually snap to the correct position.
 * Similar issue: When rotating the player in a still-standing boat the arrow stands still instead of rotating on the map. When riding the boat again, the arrow will point to random directions.

Make hole in floor for dispenser. Put water buckets in dispenser. Destroy dispenser; buckets fall out. Place block where dispenser was, 'overwriting' one or more of the drops. Wait. Water bucket seems to 'pop out' of filled block, so it's visible, but it still can't be picked up. Also it occasionally 'jumps' up and down again, presumably as the engine tries to make it move to a reachable spot. There are many ways to contrive a similar situtation, but using a slab floor plus placing blocks 'on top' of items seem quite reliable as a way to recreate this. --82.69.54.207 21:24, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Another possibility is someone doesn't think on world creation they wanted a fresh world or to share the world, but changed their mind later. Additionally, a save's seed is findable with resources such as the slime finder, making it trivial to find out a "secret" seed. Also, we can say something's a bug without developer statements.
