Minecraft Wiki:Issues/Weekly 12w07b

Organization of This Page & Instructions
Please do not spontaneously delete an issue report or comment, unless it is patent nonsense submitted by someone who has not logged in. If possible, contact the submitter by user-talk first and tell them about your concerns. They will almost certainly oblige. As always, assume good faith.

If you're unsure of an issue, it's good practice to post about it on the |talk page to see whether others can reproduce it. Make sure you're testing the bug in the correct version (for this page, that's weekly 12w07b) with no mods installed. Also, make sure to proofread your issue report before submitting it; unintelligible issue reports come off as inconsiderate and disrespectful. Finally, please determine which game mode(s) your issue appears in, and flag it with the appropriate label(s). (Also, note that if, for example, a minor annoyance appears in both single-player and multiplayer, and in both creative and survival modes, you should label it as a, not aspmpsucr.)

Be sure to sort issues by category, type, and priority: redstone issues go in the Redstone section, etc.; bugs go in the Bugs subsection, with major bugs listed before minor bugs, annoyances in the Annoyances subsection, with major ones before minor ones, and issues that Jeb has marked as fixed or skipped are moved to the Fixed/Skipped section. Issues that Jeb cannot reproduce, however, are to remain in their original place.

Please sign all issue reports and comments by typing   (three tildes; tilde may be found above  on USA keyboards, and to the right of  on British keyboards).

There is no need to place bullet points before issue labels. Use bullet points only for comments. Be sure to leave a single totally blank line before each new issue (but not before comments), unless the issue appears directly beneath a header.

Issue Labels
Please mark your issue with one of these issue labels: (listed from highest priority to lowest)
 * !! =  !!  = Critical bug that can crash a Minecraft client or server.
 * ! =  !  = Major bug. Use this tag sparingly; if there is consensus your bug is not major, it will be downgraded.
 * a! =  a!  = Major annoyance. Think very carefully before flagging an annoyance as major.  Is it really more important than most minor bugs?  Use this tag sparingly; if there is consensus your annoyance is not major, it will be downgraded.
 * undefined =  undefined  = Minor bug.
 * a =  a  = Annoyance.
 * ? =  ?  = Potential issue that you are unsure of or that the community (on the discussion page) believes requires further vetting. Note: do not use this label to indicate this-is-not-a-bug; instead, replace the issue's current label with [A] or [A!].  Furthermore, it is inappropriate to use this to flag something you disagree with; instead, express your opinion in a comment. When you apply this label to an issue, place it after the issue's existing labels; do not remove those labels.

Labels for indicating that an issue happens only in a particular game mode: (These labels cannot stand alone; you must use them in addition to, not instead of, the ones listed above.)
 * sp =  sp  = Single-player.
 * mp =  mp </tt> = Multiplayer.
 * su =  su </tt> = Survival mode.
 * cr =  cr </tt> = Creative mode.

Labels for indicating that an issue is restricted to a particular OS:
 * =  </tt> = Mac OS X
 * =  </tt> = Windows
 * =  </tt> = GNU/Linux

Labels that Mojang (not you!) uses: (Please place these tags in front of existing issue labels; do not remove the existing labels.)
 * f = Issue for which a fix will appear in the next update.
 * n = Not a bug; intended behavior. By definition, this label is inapplicable to annoyances; annoyances are not bugs.
 * s = Issue that will not be fixed in the next update.
 * u = Issue that Mojang has tested but was unable to reproduce.

To produce these labels, use the following code:  </tt>c </tt> where c is the code of the label you wish to use. (e.g., a for annoyances, etc.)

The default issue type is minor bug; you can produce this label with the shorthand  undefined </tt>.

x (F3) "Chunk Updates" info is still often equals to "FPS" info. This just can't be true.
 * It's quite plausible actually, if they do a maximum of one chunk update per frame, and queue the rest. Tahg 05:39, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances A! Above a certain height in the new anvil format, in third person, the player is completely invisible.

A! in multiplayer, the FPS is much decreased, before 12w07a 8-12ms with one player on the server, now it is with one player 50-80. this is realy anoying. but, with an error,[i start the server with more ram!]it is back to normal. even somtimes smoother!
 * That doesn't sound right, I would always approve of higher FPS :D do you mean latency? --GALAKTOSTalk – ceterum censeo error quasi-connectivitatis pistonis delendam esse. 19:26, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't doubt player ping would raise with the addition of more blocks to load. Was a good idea but bad at the same time... Kit Ballard 19:54, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Its not just the addition of more blocks, it adds more overhead. You have to do more internally when you change it so chunks are split up instead of being in one single array. Servers are always going to be hardest hit when the map format changes as they have to hold more of the map/etc in memory than a client would. --Stucuk 21:40, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Bugs Annoyances a The Boat track system (30m/s) from the last diamond stuff does not work.
 * How about a complete, coherent statement to clarify?
 * The system shown in this video : http://youtu.be/0svL9qW5W_E
 * clearly, the entities are no longer properly pushed by pistons.
 * Wouldn't be surprised if they fixed it since that was getting people banned from servers for speed hacking.Skaruts 18:45, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

a!mp Items can't be pushed by pistons. CraftedMarkus 18:00, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

a! Redstone lamps will cause extreme lag when redstone signal is applied and taken away rapidly and repeatedly.

a! There's not enough contrast between an unpowered Redstone Lamp and a powered Redstone Lamp, which is very annoying when using them for Redstone displays. Unpowered Redstone Lamps should be darker, just like in this modified terrain.png.

a Redstone wire seems to flash as if it is slightly powered and hooked to a pulser, doesn't power anything, but is hard on the eyes.

Fixed/Skipped

Blocks
Bugs

x} Sometimes one or two of the torches on village 'lamps' (black wool + fence posts + 4 torches) are found lying on the ground having popped off the wool block. Usually the ones over gravel for some reason. Similar behaviour to the way sugarcane 'pops' if it finds itself without an adjacent water block. But there is usually clear space for several blocks' radius around the affected lamp, so I don't know what could have made the torches pop off. {Superflat mode} 82.69.54.207

x Water can be placed on top of blocks at the max world height.

x When broken, powered redstone lamps drop the technical block that is used for their powered state.

x A torch, surrounded by solid blocks on all four sides and covered at the top but visible from underneath will be completely dark. This occurs even if you remove and replace both the torch and the solid blocks in question.

x Vines are currently programmed like snow blocks and tall grass- placing a block in the same space as them will replace the vines. This is a bug- now that vines have a practical use, this can get very annoying.

x You can't hang vines onto glass, but you can hang them on glowstone wich is a 'glass' block too.

x Wooden slabs do not have the properties of normal wood. Now that 4096 block IDs are available, there's no excuse not to make wooden slabs their own block and to convert all existing wood slabs into that block.

x When you place a switch then a lamp next to it, and hit the switch, then break the lamp and replace a unlit lamp,then break the switch, the lamp will go back to unlit block texture, but it will still emit light. -Minedmaster
 * Couldn't replicate on sp. But on multiplayer, the lamp will stay at same state as it's initially on (powered area, or non powered area) 188.238.183.152

x When you place a lamp above a lamp then light the bottom lamp with a switch, it will change to lit block texture but not emit light. -Minedmaster

x I don't think it's normal that mini trees in the jungle have jungle wood + normal leaves.
 * Why not jungle wood + jungle leaves (or normal wood + normal leaves) ?

x Nether wart now requires light to grow or it will pop off Shikamaru123 20:35, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

x long grass and sugar cane spontaneously pop off, leaving seeds or cane on the ground Porrohman 2205 UTC 15 February 2012
 * I think it's an issue with the new lighting. It might not pop off if you put a torch near it Shikamaru123 01:42, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Could be. To clarify though, these are not things I've placed but have just found laying around Porrohman

x Jungle Tree Leaves on old Alpha Trees don't decay (maybe all Jungle Leaves, please confirm)
 * Perhaps this is on purpose to prevent huge jungle trees from decaying?
 * Couldn't replicate. Tried csp different versions (12w03a,12w07a,12w07b) and converting to latest, always leaves decayed. could it just be that you didn't spot trunk block inside leaves? 188.238.183.152
 * No, It's a Tree from an Alpha-generated World (with many different Leaves) --Galaxy_2Alex (Talk)

x Some "damaged" block placement doesn't work (example: placing a Double Sandstone Slab Block will result in a Double Stone Slab Block). These Blocks are: Double Slabs, Silverfish Blocks, Huge Mushroom Blocks.

undefined If you place a block while pointing at a redstone ore block, the redstone block it will still assimilate the right click and lit up. Happens in both creative and survival modes. Skaruts 02:15, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

undefined/a Tall grass and ferns obstruct the creation of huge jungle trees by means of bonemeal, if they are adjacent to one of the saplings (not diagonaly). Small jungle trees - and any other trees, for that matter - seem to not be affected by this. I have not tested to see if they can affect their natural growth. Skaruts 06:31, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

undefined/a Rails seem to put the spawn point 1-2 blocks below where it's supposed to be especially when there's a no block 2 down from the spawn point. When there are 2 solid blocks underneath the spawn point, the player is only dropped 1 block. Also, cobblestone slabs seem to be bugged so that when going up using the slabs they don't register until the player jumps.

undefined Snow layer on top of leaves prevent a sapling below from growing. Most noticeable when you try to grow trees next to each other and the first tree has gotten snow layer on top.

undefined Hoe is missing the break animation and does not visually disappear from the toolbar. Server side it is correctly accounted for and when you try to move a broken hoe it will disappear at once.

Annoyances

a There is no storage block for redstone, coal or charcoal. It is annoying how there is a storage block for the rarest material (diamond) but not for the most common ones which often clog up a player's inventory.
 * I think the Diamond Block isn't intended as a storage block but rather a building block for bragging rights. --10.0.0.123 00:28, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
 * That's beside the point: it is useful for storage, as that guy brought up, and there are storage blocks for gold, iron, and lapis lazuli. I have several stacks of iron blocks I got from searching for diamonds. Why not redstone, coal and charcoal as well? Redstone DUST in particular, that sounds like something that could be easily made into a block. 192.168.70.95 13:02, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
 * If we have storage block for diamond, it doesn't make slightest sense to not have storage block for coal. In my opinion, there either should be no storage blocks or all storage blocks. If it was up to me, there would be storage block even for redstone, maybe this could function as vertical redstone wiring. Rate this is major annoyance, if there is consensus, I favor. 88.194.240.185
 * I second it. Redstone takes up so much space, and redstone - for quite a number of players, actually - is only useful in huge amounts. The ability to craft blocks of redstone could also add some mechanics that Minecraft desperately needs, like if you left click/right click/step on a block of redstone it would send a signal (the latter differs from a regular pressure plate in that a piston could extend over the block with no pressure plates popping off the ground). Or maybe a block of redstone would send a signal if it detected a block update - that way we could make some really interesting circuits without utilizing bugs or giant BUD switches. 91.144.213.35 20:20, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that this is an annoyance. That said, it's not all too difficult to simply build another chest or four. 72.39.232.254 03:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

undefined Everything made of wood can be used as fuel in a furnace, except wooden tools.

undefined/a Directional keys will get "stuck" and you'll continue in the same direction untill pressed again Kit Ballard 16:17, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Happened to me once, so far, but I could not notice what caused it in order to replicate. Skaruts 02:18, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * May be due to lag, this can be replicated by pressing the directional key, or jump key, and hit alt wich will make the game freeze, clicking any key will unfreeze the game, but with the pressed key "stuck"

! cr While flying in water or lava, horizontal movement is slowed to a crawl and vertical movement is very fast.
 * that also was in the older versions. Flying up- and downwards ist like flyig, but horizontal movement ist slow (like swimming). But i think that more would ba an annoyance, than a bug!--Locoloco 12:30, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

undefined Lava does not set chests on fire. Minecraft5025 22:18, 15 February 2012 (UTC) undefined Server Version: Command Time Set is broken
 * Lava is very slow to set any blocks on fire, and chests purposely are not burnable so as to avoid the burning of the chest as well as everything in it. RadiantChaos 20:17, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

undefined Some worlds that where in creative mode turned to survival mode.

Annoyances a Boats break too easily. Boat physics need an overhaul.
 * This is not a bug (boats were made easier to break in 1.0.0). You can hold the sneak key to avoid damage. <font color="Blue">C <font color="Orange">ali <font color="Purple">nou - talk × contribs » 10:21, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * This has always seemed like a major annoyance to me, and with little sense. Even more now that they are weaker. Skaruts 11:36, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I thought boats were made harder to break in Minecraft 1.0. Still, I have to say boats are still weak, especially to lily pads. -ThingsStuffsObjects 04:58 17 February, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, their extreme fragility makes automatic boat dispensers, canals, locks, etc. an incredible hassle to set up. How does constantly-breaking boats improve the player experience at all, anyway? I could see them breaking if you ram into something full-tilt, but they definitely should not pop from the slightest scrape the way they do now. --72.208.204.70 05:42, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

a While clay balls can be crafted into blocks of clay, blocks of clay cannot be crafted back into clay balls. This gets annoying when crafting them to save space in the inventory, and you have to place them and break them again when you get home.
 * Snowballs / blocks are similar.

a The Mac version of the Paste shortcut, Command-V, cannot be executed within Minecraft. Ctrl-V works and uses the actual Mac clipboard. NOTE: This bug has been around since Beta 1.3.

a! The range of characters in font.txt is very limited considering the multilinguality of Minecraft. It should be updated so that more characters are available, because it is hard for foreign Minecraft players to communicate on servers if they cannot type using their own script. (Updating font.txt would also enable using the same font for all the languages.)

aThere is no way to type the section sign (§) from within Minecraft, and it can only be entered by pasting it, which cannot be done while writing on signs.

a1 cr Missing blocks from the item selection screen:
 * Double Stone Slabs (Double Stone Slabs can be very useful when building)
 * Monster Spawner (Maybe, creative monster spawner can use a different id, with a GUI for select the mob to spawn)
 * Snow layer (which can be collected in Survival with Silk Touch)
 * Silverfish stone, cobblestone and stone bricks (They can be useful for making traps or fake buildings in multiplayer)
 * All the Huge Mushroom Blocks (I think that all Huge Mushroom Blocks should be in the item selection screen)
 * End Portal Frames (Useful as decorative block)
 * End Portal (Useful for getting to the End easily, and also if you accidentally break the naturally generated portal in the world, or if a griefer does it on purpose)
 * End Return Portal (Useful for getting back to spawn/bed when used outside of the End, and also if it is broken as stated about the End Portal)
 * Dragon Egg (Useful as decorative block)
 * Here's an idea: make a new item - let's just call it "Wand" for fun - and give it two different uses. When left clicking on a block it will circle through the different damage values for that block (changing material of slabs, type of monster spawner etcetera), and when right clicked on a block it would replace itself in the hotbar with the type of block you right clicked on. That way you can easily change the types of blocks, and you would be able to get double slabs (among other things) in your hotbar without the use of silk touch or an external inventory editor. 91.144.213.35 20:35, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

a Golden Apples are useless. They have been outclassed by the Potion of Regeneration ever since it was introduced, but now this is even more so ever since they were nerfed. It would make sense for Golden Apples to be the ingredient for the Potion of Regeneration instead of the Ghast Tear (with the Ghast Tear being used for some other potion instead.) Alternately, one or more of: increasing the apple's regen duration by 2 or 3x, removing the time it takes to eat them, or giving them an additional effect (possibly from the list of not-currently-used potion effects).
 * i agree on the fact that they are quite useless as food now, but certainly NOT make them an ingredient. golden apples still have the highest saturation of all food, and since they are quite easy to get(a bit of woodcutting and pigmanhunting should get you enough for 10+) now they shouldn't be buffed again. give them a special effect at most.

a There is no way to grow your own undergrowth. Undergrowth is the mass of leaves on the floor of the jungle.

a Despite being used in many things, and also being depleted through several activities like using a splash potion, sand is not renewable. Eventually you are going to use up all the sand and not be able to make splash potions anymore.
 * Do you mean TNT? There's no sand in splash potions.
 * Sand is needed to make glass for potion bottles.
 * Potion bottles are re-usable, though. And silk touch makes up for that quite a bit too. Still, using an entire desert worth of sand in glass and bottles doesn't seem too easy to me. And, still, any map has numerous deserts. On an SMP server many players can use up a desert, but there's still more. This doesn't sound very plausible. Skaruts 00:24, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * When you use a splash potion, the bottle is destroyed. (Not saying I agree with the original annoyance.) —kpreid 01:23, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * This shouldn't be mentioned as it is only a problem in MCedited maps like skyblock survival. A single desert has literally tens to hundreds of thousands of sand. --Moxxy 13:13, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * One suggestion I read once is that during thunderstorms, sandstorms would occur in deserts and it would be like snowfall except the particle effects would be horizontal, and sand layers would generate like snow, and you could mine it for piles of sand (which use the gunpowder texture) and could be crafted together into a sand block.

Bugs

!! Mobs which spawn on y:256 crashes the game, and leaving the savefile corrupted and unplayable, saying Loading Chunks. This also happens when using eggs to spawn in mobs. Happens in SP and SMP!

undefined If you're in a 1x1x2 hole and a villager joins you, every blow you strike to try to dig yourself out hits the villager instead, even if you are facing the opposite way. AFAICS you have to kill the villager before you can dig again. 82.69.54.207

undefined Child villagers seem to have the same hit boxes as adult villagers - you can still hit them even when the crosshairs are aimed at the block above their heads.82.69.54.207

! spIf you let a cat sit in a offline game, save and play then online (not multiplayer) you can't let the cat stand and move. The cat don't respond. It also works vice versa, when you play online and then offline. Tested in flat world and creative.
 * This is a bug that has been around as long as wolves have, and is not restricted to any OS. The reason is that cats and dogs are bound to the player by their name, even in singleplayer, and Minecraft treats "Player" (the name of the player in offline mode) as a separate player from your identity in online mode. I agree that this is a problem. If possible, a special exception should be made for singleplayer so that single-player tames will obey anyone.
 * that could have problems in some servers that lets you change your name if you changed it to player everyone would be able to use the wolf and it wouldn't know where to go.Darkychao 04:22, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * A simpler solution would be to use whatever username was entered in offline mode, instead of 'Player'. This would avoid needing special-case code for wolves, cats, and any other player-specific features added in the future. -- Orthotope
 * This still doesn't deal with the case of someone with multiple accounts, or a single-player world shared between two players. It also prevents proper use of tamed animals in downloadable maps. In fact, it's not even possible to implement it without altering the launcher, since the current version provides no way to know the entered name when the game is started in offline mode. The ideal solution is to ignore the player name entirely in single player maps (and single player maps only). TLUL 03:38, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

undefinedcr Feeding animals consumes the item used to do so, which is unintended and is very annoying because it means we have to shift-click everything we use to feed them. Examples include wheat used on most animals, bones used on wolves, fish used on cats, and meat used on tamed wolves. This also includes saddles used on pigs and dyes used on sheep.
 * ...but everything you right-click animals with stacks up to 64. This most certainly isn't a bug, and I personally don't see how it can get all that annoying either. TLUL 03:38, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * He is talking about creative mode. You have to shift-click an item to your hotbar to get a full 64 stack. You cannot simply drag the food item over, since it is consumed everytime you feed an animal. 91.0.35.227
 * Either way, is it really that hard to hold the shift key quick while you click? It really isn't that difficult and once you make it muscle memory you should have no problem with the extra centimeter you have to stretch your finger. At most this should be an annoyance. RadiantChaos 20:25, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * How can you say that this is at most an annoyance? It's clearly unintended and thereby a bug. Other items you would otherwise use up when right clicked include eggs, spawn eggs, and snowballs, and none of these are consumed in the process. The same complaint goes for potions, they shouldn't be consumed either. 91.144.213.35 20:55, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

undefined Cows aren't able to enter love mode and breed (tested smp only)

a Animals are spawned "in" the leafs on the ground in Jungle Biomes. Only destroying the leafs can free them. Seems to spawn on Wood even if Leaf is above.

a Pigs are underpowered. While cows are useful for their milk and hide as well as their meat, and drop 1-3 pieces of Raw Beef, pigs aren't good for anything except for porkchops, and even then they only drop 0-2. At least with cows meat is guaranteed. (The only other thing you CAN do with pigs is ride them, but that isn't very useful.)
 * This isn't a bug. This is a complaint. Keep those to the forums.
 * It's a game balance issue (or at least, a perceived game balance issue), and was flagged by the OP as an annoyance not a bug. I think it's legit, really, and if it's not, please can we have something on the talk page to define the difference between an 'annoyance' and a 'complaint'. I did try drafting such an explanation, but I found it was such a fine line I couldn't really see any good way to distinguish them. (Personal bias: My own preference would be for 1-2 meat from a pig.)82.69.54.207 19:25, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Any annoyance is a complaint. Thats why they are just an annoyance. 188.238.183.152

a You don't get the saddle back after a saddled pig dies.

a Chickens are relatively pointless to keep, because their eggs aren't used for anything other than cake. Their feathers are useless because while they can be crafted into arrows, it can only be done with flint and that is not renewable, and would be better used to craft flint and steel. To make matters worse, arrows can be renewably and automatically farmed from Skeletons. Their meat isn't even as good as pork or steak.
 * You do know that basically gravel=flint place and break till you get it. The other thing with chickens is you only need one chicken to start the process of a chicken farm. If there is anything to change with chickens it's the frequency of their sounds. Shikamaru123 01:52, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I think chickens are actualy the easiest animal to farm. Once you get enough chickens you get tons of eggs, then you can kill all the chikens for meat and use all the eggs to replenish the chicken count. It makes a consistent source of food and feathers (flint is no worry). But I agree that chicken sounds will lag the game quite a lot, especially when mixed with water sounds. Skaruts 11:48, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Absolutely disagree. What is with this wave of "If it's not 100% renewable it's useless" crap? Flint is easy to get and infinite within human capabilities. Chickens are one of the most useful passive mobs. --Moxxy 13:19, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

a I can swallow the idea of two chicks spawning from one egg (in the words of Chicken Run's Rocky the Rooster, 'It's a double yolker!') but four is too many. Where did the decision to use four come from in the first place?? 82.69.54.207

a (Very minor) Cats obediently sitting when clicked on is not normal catty behaviour. It would be better if right-clicking was assumed to be petting it, whereupon it would purr for a bit, then curl up and go to sleep. So dogs sit, but cats sleep. As cats will happily sleep for 25-30 hours per day, I think that would be much more fitting behaviour. 82.69.54.207

a Cows, pigs and chickens never eat unless fed. Villagers, although they'd be a special case, never eat at all. This is a bit odd when wolves, ocelets and sheep do. 82.69.54.207

a If the player has a huge city with Villagers in it, they will repopulate at an uncontrollably large rate. Which can clog up the map with Villagers.
 * Zombie hordes will spawn if you take out some doors in the village to keep the population down. I had a fenced in village with torches everywhere and I was removing doors from houses. 10 zombies start an assault out of nowhere lol. Shikamaru123 01:52, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

a Animals will still follow Wheat even when they have mated and are unable to eat anymore. This makes feeding a large amount of animals, difficult: as you get crowded by animals which are unable to mate stopping access and making it hard to keep track of the ones who still need to be fed.

a If left untamed, wolves will eventually depopulate an area of sheep, and ocelets would do the same to chickens. Even unbred passive mobs (and wolves and ocelets themselves) should reproduce at a slow rate to approximately replace attrition losses.

aWolves are black at night/ in the dark... even glowstone is just weakly lighting him. --Locoloco 20:09, 15 February 2012 (UTC) Proof(with chicken for comparison):

a! Villagers may overpopulate certain houses, leaving many houses empty. At the same time other villagers outside may get stuck ("forever") trying to get into those over-crowded houses, neglecting the empty ones too. Skaruts 06:50, 17 February 2012 (UTC) Fixed/Skipped

Mobs
Bugs

undefined Mobs' hitboxes clip through doors. This means that you get hurt when standing in front of a door with a zombie on the other end.
 * This only happens when you place your door from the inside Yoshidude56 21:23, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Bugs !although the nether has still a bedrock layer at 128, there's now air above, which means that there will spawn tons of zombie pigman and ghasts, but they are all unreachable unless you are in creative. this also means that there are a lot less monsters below, since the monsters above quickly fill up the mob cap. also sometimes mushrooms will grow on top.

 * maybe a new feature? looks nice anyway. Affect only new worlds, not previously generated/converted ones Porrohman
 * If Water is directly below an Ice Block, the Ice Block is as clear as glass.
 * if you look close, you can see that the water gets dark in the first 4 blocks, then it's getting brighter to max on one block deepth. so this looks like a global lightcalculation error on world generation and while playing. looks like most of these observations from below (no lightning at lava, bright tunnels etc) belong to this error --MG127 08:14, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

! The new redstone lamp causes extrem lag when switched and in sunlight/moonlight, but it works fine when you switch it in the complete dark or when there is only blocklight. If you don't believe me just build this small setup and switch the lever:

!mp The new redstone lamp doesn't put off any light in SMP, except when light 2 or more lamps next to eachother?. KoreRekon
 * actually it's even worse: every block light update in sun light causes massive lag, just press F3 and place a glowstone and you'll see a big spike in the lagometer
 * According to the profiler, the lag is caused by "root.tick.level.tickPending.checkLight.top < too" --Barracuda 16:57, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * this is especially strange since I thought block and sunlight are indepentendly, but it seems like the sunlight for all the colums where the blocklight changes is recalculated, and also it seems like several lamps switched in the same tick all cause the lighting to be recalculated, instead of recalculating it only once after all are switched.

!Tunnels don't get dark during the day. You can see the light brightening as you dig. During the night they get dark, but not as much as they were supposed to. It's as if every block is affected by sun light, even though there's no direct or even indirect contact with it. http://i.imgur.com/sEs8P.jpg (please comfirm) Skaruts 17:37, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

! Mining takes longer in multiplayer than in singleplayer. This is caused by a click-mining 'fix' that was added in Beta 1.3 and is not needed.

! Knockback and damage screen calculation is often wrong in multiplayer, actually dealing knockback when it shouldn't (like drowning or being on fire).
