Crashing/System
Bugs !! Using the beacon block (Work in Progress block), I made a pyramid of emerald blocks about 4 high, then the beacon block on top. Using it, Minecraft crashed, and I was unable to get the crash report. I re-entered the world, but before I could, it gave me an internal server error (this was on single player).

 * While my game hasn't outright crashed from using Beacon/Work in Progress blocks, they have caused the "Internal Server Error" problem which made the world inoperable. I was able to use MCEdit to delete the Beacon from the world, but I still can't access the world without the error. Luckily it was a test world I made, but the fact remains it breaks the world somehow. 12w32b might be required to prevent this from spreading. On a side note, I watched CaptainSparklez' video on the snapshot, and at the end he experienced the problem the exact same way I did: --MegaScience 02:24, 10 August 2012 (UTC)


 * This can be reproduced, maybe not when you place it. but try changing the effects multiple times. 213.46.192.198 14:31, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

!! While experimenting with the new villager trading mechanic (trades=better trades, smacks=worse trades) my game crashed after punching a villager about 7 times and attempting to trade. Yoshidude56 18:36, 10 August 2012 (UTC) undefined !! MAJOR crash bug, where the game freezes up the ENTIRE system. the only fix is to shut down via the button. It freezes all keyboard and mouse input. I have had this error MULTIPLE times. It was present in every snapshot released, and in this snapshot as well. it only ever happens on Minecraft. it can happen at any time, but generally needs the launcher to have been open for a fair while. Game continues as normal, so no crash report is ever created. ctrl-alt-del, windows button etc. are all unworkable due to the aforementioned disabling. I have a very high-end computer, and everything is up to date. it only ever happens with Minecraft. I am unsure if this is also a mac issue. --Kizzycocoa 21:59, 10 August 2012 (UTC) Annoyances

Blocks
Bugs ! When I tried to use the beacon block's buff called 'Jump Boost', it completely messed up the world. Now whenever I try to go on it, it says 'Internal Server Error'. Do I have to wait until the next snapshot for this to be resolved?

undefined Normal-sized mushrooms can't be planted outside at night. This is because the skylight level is always 15, even at night, and the reason for this is so crops and flowers don't uproot themselves every night. Perhaps there could be a workaround for this. It is intentional that they're not supposed to be planted outside in the daytime, but they don't even work at night. TorchicBlaziken 20:39, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Vines hit-boxes are the size of a solid block

undefined Some blocks can be seen through the "light ray" block when you place a lot of Beacon Block close together. Not sure if this should be in the "graphical bugs" section or here...

undefined After using command blocks to teleport between a desert and an ocean rapidly several times the block in the desert I teleported to turned into an ocean biome. I noticed it because it was raining at this time and rain was falling onto one single block in the desert. After teleporting once again everything was normal again. I couldn't reproduce it a second time. --☺ Sven ? ! 14:54, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

a When placing Mushroom blocks of a damage value greater than 0, it will revert to 0 upon placing. This used to happen with Monster Eggs, before they were tweaked in 12w17a to prepare them for inclusion in the Creative Mode inventory. This should be changed because the damage values of mushroom blocks are now available using cheats. We should not have to rely on pistons to place these blocks in Creative.

World Generator
Bugs

! When respawning to a new spawnpoint (/spawnpoint), most of the time you will fall through an unloaded chunk even if the chunk is loaded. You will keep falling through the void and you will keep dieing until you reload above the chunk or wait until the chunk loads.

undefined Just like abandoned mineshafts were before the floors were implemented, strongholds generate weirdly when they cross a ravine. The seed -623160645725253637 is a good example of this with a stronghold in a hole close to spawn which crosses an underground ravine. TorchicBlaziken 22:00, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I think this is because strongholds generate before ravines so when the ravine generates it overwrites the stronghold blocks with air.

Annoyances a! On an old map (I have had this map since Beta 1.6.6 and have made so much progress on it I don't want to delete it) when I throw eyes of ender to bring me to a stronghold, they take me to a place where there aren't just no strongholds, I used a the zombe mod to see through walls and there aren't any underground occurrences at all (ravines, mineshafts, dungeons, caves, etc.) I think that to prevent this there could be a tag added to the level.dat like end_location or something that contains the coords of the end portal similar to how it contains the location of the original spawnpoint. --Caucow 03:50, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * This is probably because since you have had this map since 1.6.6, there may not be a stronghold, as they were not completely implemented until 1.0.0. If an eye of ender does not lead to a stronghold, it leads to where the stronghold is supposed to be.  I recommend using MCEDIT to transfer all of your progress onto a new map if you really want to keep it. --107.2.255.13 04:36, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

undefinedIron Golems sometimes attack a creeper. Then when the creeper explods, it walks back to where the creeper would be and attacks. --QQII 10 Aug

undefinedZombies fail to burn in sunlight, while skeletons do. KrisYeager
 * Confirmed, I was thinking this may be intended behavior for infected villagers, but the point remains that regular zombies don't burn either. Pteprocks 18:50, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined Something just happened... I found an enderman who was in his aggressive state, but wasn't attacking (I was in creative, but I don't know if it's just that mode). 50.46.250.128 18:07, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I have noticed that since the 1.3 update, if you attack a creeper or skeleton, it will not chase you, but will still attack if within its attack distance. If you are within the attack range (8 for a skeleton, 4 for a creeper) they will attack. If you move outside the range that they are able to see you (16 for most mobs, not sure for enderman) they will go back into their peaceful state and not attack you even if you come back within their attack range. If you leave their attack range but not their player vision range, then come back into their attack range, they will attack again (very obvious with creepers, I have only noticed this while flying away from the mob). --caucow 9 August 2012

undefined Graphical glitch on the right side of creeper's head when hit (turns white). This also happens with villagers.

undefined Skeletons drop slightly damaged to nearly fully damaged bows. Intended ? --Kumasasa 18:24, 9 August 2012 (UTC) (edited --Kumasasa 21:12, 9 August 2012 (UTC))
 * probably because they use the bows before they drop them but i could be wrong can anyone correct me if I'm wrong?
 * The Skeletons were "freshly" spawned in a mob farm and they hadn't the slightest chance to fire a single shot. --Kumasasa 21:12, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's basically just to add an affect to the skeleton. It's not supposed to be taken literal that they used the bow before. Obviously in single player if they didn't attack you then their bow is fresh. Jeb just wanted to add some diversity into it.
 * Is that knowledge or speculation ? I was assuming something similar, but that makes the dropped enchanted tools (and armor ?) less usesful, because they will lose the enchanting when repaired.--Kumasasa 06:31, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined As soon as one zombie pigman with an enchanted sword spawns, all other zombie pigmen hold enchanted swords. Redstonehelper 19:56, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined Villagers spawn very frequently in the nether.

undefined the zombie spawn egg will spawn a villager zombie, but realistically this should only occur when a normal zombie comes into contact with a villager.
 * I definitely agree with the bug, but I don't think the 'realism' is a very good justification. But for adventure mode in particular it would be really useful if every variant of every mob was spawnable from its own mob egg, including golems, spider jockeys, lightning creepers, child variants of every villager type and baby as well as adult mobs. Some way (any way!) of achieving that kind of precise control is really useful when you're designing a scenario. Popping a bunch of eggs in a dispenser until the player comes by is just such an easy way to manage mobs. So I'd prefer the OP's bug as reported to be fixed by reverting zombie eggs to ordinary zombies, and making Testificate zombies available separately.
