Item dropping, picking up, stacking bugs
-When in creative mode, you cannot pickup objects while in flying mode - some items when dropped cannot be picked back up - some items when picked back up do not stack and become infinite (so it seems) - when in a crafting menu and you escape with items still in the grid the items are duplicated and the duplicates can not be picked up

Creative Mode Bug: Slabs
- When in Creative Mode, a player is unable to complete an entire block of Slabs when there is a solid block above it. For example: if a Dirt block is above just one Stone Slab, you will not be able to complete the Stone Slab block by placing another one directly on top of it; the upper Dirt block prevents the placement and completion of the entire Stone Slab block which sits directly beneath it.

Mob Bug
- over 1500 entities can spawn at once, causing game to have severe lag.

Endermen Bugs
-Endermen, when looked directly at, often do not stop and stare like they're supposed to, instead they run towards the player and sometimes teleport in random places, even if the player isn't too far away. Most of the time teleporting directly behind the player.

-If the player is far away (but still close enough to see the Enderman,) looking directly at the Enderman doesn't seem to make it hostile.

-Endermen all fall down and die in rain, without making any attempt whatsoever to get under cover or in a cave. They just stand there and take the death as if nothing were happening. Is this supposed to happen?

-If an Endermen looks at you while your cursor is on it, you can punch and damage it even if it would normally be out of range.

-Endermen also sound identical to zombies. Not sure if that's intended or not, but it sort of removes their supposed fear inducing state (since zombies aren't scary)

-Enderman doesn't seem to want to "lock eyes" and attacks right away.

-In creative mode having you back to a wall while an Enderman is running towards you causes him to vanish.

Lighting Bug
-Your arm may sometimes go black

-Torches do not give off a warm glow as it was said they would. Rather, they give off a white light whilst only sunlight gives off the warm glow. I believe it should be the other way around? Also - I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but I find it odd that lava doesn't give off a warm glow. Mac OSX

-In creative (and possibly survival), all blocks remain lit as if it is daytime when you switch to night, except mobs which appear as darkened/black sillhouettes against the bright terrain. As a side-effect, surface-exposed caves receive the orange lighting effect from the sun rather than the blue moonlight. Screenshots: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f107/GoodWhaleSushi2008/Post-2011/2011-09-10_120028.png and http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f107/GoodWhaleSushi2008/Post-2011/2011-09-10_120049.png - Mac OSX

-When lava generates lighting sometimes does not render.

-Sometimes on world load corners of rooms will be in shadow, even if there are torches nearby.

-Blocks nearer to a torch appear white/blue, whilst blocks farther away from the torch appear warmly coloured (not same as bug described above.)

-I think the lighting sources are mixed up - setting stuff on fire with the flint and steel produced a blue light, instead of a warm light. Aside from that, torches produce a white glow instead of a warm glow. Mac OSX

-Placing a torch underwater, the water then destroys the torch, but there is still lighting left for where the torch was.

-The lighting on the lowest step of the new stairs (stone brick and brick) is extremely dark regardless of surrounding light conditions.

- (Mac OSX) when loading an old world in 1.8, some chests appear as all black (as if entirely unlit). Fixed by destroying then replacing chest, or by placing a torch near the chest to light it (fixed upon removal of torch)

Creative Mode Despawn Glitch
When in Creative mode items (and possibly entities in general) never despawn, causing extremely low framerate.

No Light Glitch
-When facing certain directions in creative, The character looks completely dark as if he is in an unlit cave.

-Under some blocks in SMP (and SSP?) it is comepletely dark, when you are standing in it, your character turns completely black.

-When mining under gravel, the newly empty blocks do not always update their lighting, leaving darkness behind.

Creative mode Arrows Bug
When you give your self an arrow from the creative menu and then shoot the bow you lose the arrow and need to get another.
 * Added -neobenedict

^You are supposed to have unlimited arrows on creative without putting arrows in your hotkey bar

--Shift clicking will give you a full stack of 64 arrows

While shooting your bow and switching to another item or block will make your bow unusable.

Creative mode maps
pretty minor, but maps put into inventory from the item palette are always centered on the spawn. (always spawning map_0?)


 * Maps don't render anything (sometimes) - they're just blank.

Iron Bars, Fences.
Iron Bars, Fences, and some other items can now be placed on top of tall grass. This shouldn't happen.
 * Added -Neobenedict

Mushroom Breaking Glitch
When another block goes next to a mushroom(like Cactus) it breaks. This does not seem to be affecting mushrooms that spawned when the world generated, and it makes the spread of mushrooms difficult. Farming is also very hard now.

Fence Gates
You can only open Fence Gates with a right click, left clicking will not work

Creative Mode Time Warp (F6, F7) Keys are unpredictable
When using these keys, it is very difficult to return to normal time-speed as the buttons seem to increment/decrement the time flow in inconsistent values. It constantly ramps up the longer you hold down the key. If you let go it degrades down to normal time.

Ok so while in survival mode you can still controll the time with the F6/7 keys

Upon exiting and re-entering a world, the time is set to what it would normaly be (ie, as if it was not manupulated with F6/F7)

Hunger Bar, EXP Bar
The Hunger and EXP bar do not seem to always be generated when creating a new world, and only some new worlds do not have these functions.

The hunger bar sometimes dose not go down (if you have eaten recently enough, or are on peaceful, the hunger bar will not go down)

List of bugs
When render distance set to far there is still fog if set the medium

If you press F5 go partway underwater with creative mode, theres a weird water glitch.

Iron door is two colors, maybe a lighting problem with torches.

Half of NCP villages have modified roofs and parts.

Apart from the water bug above, when jumping up in water there appears to be a strange border in the background which will flash back and fourth while jumping.

________________

While in a mine shaft, rapidly and repeatedly trying to place a torch on a stone block located next to gravel will sometimes turn the stone block into a block of gravel.

While charging a bow, if you press the left mouse button, when the arrow is fired, it automatically sends off a melee hit as well.

No matter what the render distance is, it is still laggy as crap (I usually get 40 - 60 fps and now I get 2 - 15)

Smelting\Cooking (SMP)
This doesn't always crash. In fact, I only had it crash when I used wood and beef. Ever since then, I cannot get it to crash with any fuel source and any item smelting. Here is the crash data from my original crash:

java.lang.NullPointerException at oj.h_(SourceFile:111) at eh.e(SourceFile:1193) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.h(SourceFile:370) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.run(SourceFile:303) at ce.run(SourceFile:418) 2011-09-09 15:56:19 [SEVERE] Unexpected exception java.lang.NullPointerException at oj.h_(SourceFile:111) at eh.e(SourceFile:1193) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.h(SourceFile:370) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.run(SourceFile:303) at ce.run(SourceFile:418)

When putting wooden planks, sticks or coal into a furnace in SSP, the game shows the 'Saving Chunks' screen, freezes, and crashes.

Sometimes the items you put into a crafting table fall to the ground and become un-pickupable.

Smelting causes black screen
In Single player, when I go to smelt anything, I get the 'Saving chunks' screen and then a black screen. After closing minecraft and logging in again, the smelting is occuring, but after placing anything else in the furnace, there is a chance it crashes again (though not necessarily every time)

Raw Chicken bug
When cooking Raw Chicken in a furnace, can make your game crash.

Cooking bug
The cooking timer when cooking does not reset after it is replaced with another food. It remains active as if not replaced and produces the food in the furnace after timer finished.

Sugar cane bug
Sugarcane are randomly spawning on sand, its not major, it just seemed out of place.

You can also place sugarcane on sand, so I assume this is not a bug.


 * This is a bug, unless intentionally implemented by Notch. Doesn't work in 1.7.3

Food in general
You cannot eat a mushroom stew and will not regenerate the hunger bar.
 * Right click needs to be held down in order to eat it

Logs
when trying to turn logs into charcoal the game crashes.
 * Any crash logs? (Pun unintended) &#124; JSan 02:23, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * See "Smelting causes crash" about this error. Apparently any use of the furnace for smelting can cause your game to crash.

i have tried to duplicate this bug. haven't had it crash on me yet. Nl37tgt 02:36, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

(this is the same person who made the first statement about logs) I think then it might be using planks as a fuel source because that was what I used for the logs.

-- i've tried planks, sticks, and logs as fuel to create charcoal from logs and still haven't duplicated the bug. --Nl37tgt 03:06, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Same for me. Smelting in general seems to cause crashes.

Memory
When you take a screenshot it will overload the memory and crash the game

Crafting
I wasn´t able to pick up planks which dropped on the ground after i closed the craftingtable. A single block remained, after I received all my other blocks.

>I had the same problem also. And my game crashed after those "unpickable"  remained on the ground. The only way to remove the problem currently would be to use a lava bucket. === sprite bug ===

if you don't take the items out of the crafting grid before you close the inventory it causes the items to be stuck on the floor. Although you can pick up the items the sprites still remain until restarted the game.

<>I to had the same problem, but it was with wood. Execpt If i dropped all my wood i got an infinite stack of wood.

I had this problem several times. It happens if you exit the crafting table with items still on it. The items then are picked up but ghost items are left. Note: the ghost items can be moved by placing blocks

<>I had the same bug, but the block kept going back to me and was infinite,so i could pick it many times,it was with wood

Players List [TAB] (SMP)
When u click TAB the players list wont show up.

Administration Concerns - Seeds in F3
Seeds can be seen in F3(devloper view). This can be used by Xray mods to by-pass antixray plugins on servers. An option to shut off seeds should be available.
 * This is a feature request for 1.8 not a bug -Neobenedict


 * As far as I know, ores do not depend on the seed, so the actual benefit is questionable. -thebetter1


 * As if you could stop x-ray as is, considering the rendering is done client-side. -Doirdyn 02:41, 10 September 2011 (UTC)


 * In addition to spawning in the air I have seen trees spawn with center blocks missing -Sventheslayer

Trees generated over water
I have encountered small pond (with squids...) with some trees above it without any dirt below wood, just as the trees where generated first and pond added later, also trees in water

^This is supposed to be a swamp not a bug - Antho3000

^Trees are few blocks above water not touching it - hanging in air. I made a screenshot so I can show it, map seed was 21, but I forgot where it was.

^I've encountered the same error. Map seed: 2137022962. Coordinates: 100,65,215 - Zi0P4tch0

NPC Village - Doors at wrong level
In NPC Villages all houses' door's of one building are at the same level, so that you can't reach all from the ground. Also some steeps spawn in the gravel roads instead of on them, and uneven roads(one side is a block higher). http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/10/20110909192339.png/ http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg155/scaled.php?server=155&filename=20110909192321.png&res=medium http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/31/20110909202825.png/


 * NPC Houses are split in the middle (Seed: 21 X67 Y71 Z533

Beds
Mobs spawn while sleeping even when you box it in and light it.

Full sleep animation occurs when getting into bed, but still wake up in the middle of night, although there are no mobs around and the place is fully lit.

When Sleeping, the night is not skipped.
 * This sometimes happens. It was a glitch before 1.8. &#124; JSan 01:28, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Gravel roads sinking into caves, village on water
If there is cave below village gravel roads may fall down into it leaving deep holes in a middle of a road.

Moreover villages could be generated half way into ocean, so some buildings are inaccessible standing in the middle of water.

Seed:21 : x: 27 | y: 64 | z: 283

Creative Mode Mob bug
You can hit any mob at any distance, and through objects.

Saplings grow to replace blocks
Saplings can replace blocks with leaf blocks when they grow. (tested with natural growing not bonemeal)

Trees
Immediately when I logged in, there were seeded trees that had spawned hovering over some of the randomly seeded lowered ponds that have been in most versions. So, essentially, derp trees that were being naughty and grew where they shouldn't have lol.

in my seed " [i][/i] " (aquare bracketted empty bbcode italic - a known "flat" seed) there are trees growing in the swamp in the middle of the water, this looks natural.

Creative Mode - Glowstone Light Retained Underwater
If you Break Glowstone Underwater in creative mode, the Light does not go away.

Missing block crushing texture
When you destroy some blocks around without leaving your mouse button point to the block below you and it will be crushed without animation-pattern of crushing. If you start mining from block below you there will be animation as usual. Chest Blocks also have no crushing animation.

EDIT: I can confirm this. It happens in both the Real world and the Nether.

Unlimited Planks Glitch
There is a glitch that happens when you are crafting, keep planks in the bench, then press escape. It drops the planks, but all the planks become unlimited. Also, the planks duplicate when you try to move them in your inventory or in a chest.

note: this doesn't just happen with planks

Daytime Mobs
On occasion I have had mobs spawn in daylight, above ground.

^I'm assuming they're hostile mobs? Not a Person 00:25, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes, mostly Creepers and Zombies.

Constant Heal
The health bar regenerates, even when not on peaceful difficulty, and without eating food.

^ That's how health is regained in 1.8 - Over time if you have enough food on food bar.

^ But its infinite if if the food bar regens! but they don't call it beta testing for nothing!

^ A full or nearly full hunger bar will allow for slow passive health regen in any difficulty. --Nl37tgt 01:13, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Creative Mode Furnace Bug
If you right click a furnace it's bring's up the inventory.

Creative Mode Inventory Bugs
There are some missing items in the Item Selection screen in the new Creative Mode: -Bonemeal -Jack O' Lantern -Grass -Birch/Redwood Saplings -Snow (the thin Layer, not the block) -All 16 dyes (including Lapis Lazuli, Cocoa Beans and Bone Meal)

Opening the Inventory on Creative Mode shows the Item Selection screen, but using a furnace/dispenser/crafting table still shows the normal 36 slotted inventory. Items picked up that don't fit in the hotbar go into the normal 36 slot inventory. The creative mode should still have a normal inventory and the item selection screen should be binded to a different key.

Creative Mode Door Bug
Punching a door will drop a door.


 * Right click to open them instead.


 * Creative mode includes instant break, so just right click.

Odd terrain generations
Abandoned mines don't play nice with ravines or vice versa. http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab303/Firetempest/2011-09-09_200821.png

^Added Not a Person 00:59, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Trees grow in raviens http://elvin.ca/images/minecraft1.png

--Mineshaft support planks sometimes generate floating a few blocks off the cavern floor.

The Experience bar doesn't show what level you're on, or how much experience you have.

Comment: A friend already experienced this in 1.7.3 78.94.156.172 00:42, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Someone deleted a lot of the bug reports and discussion here. -bowerpower4444

- probably in an attempt to remove duplicate postings, ones added to the wiki page, and bugs that existed before 1.8. i'm sure the powers that be are watching the edit histories closely. Nl37tgt 02:54, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

SMP - TNT
When detonating multiple TNT on top of each other (only the bottom one was primed) some of the TNT blocks wont vanish after exploding http:// img233.imageshack.us/img233/7792/20110910022739.png (Unable to post the real link as the anti-spam-question continuously appears).


 * Old bug

Light Underwater
If a torch is placed underwater, the light it created remains. (Tested only in creative mode).

^I have confirmation of this bug in Creative Mode: http://www.mediafire.com/i/?jy79u5m5g1ml82b Not a Person 00:41, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Terrain/Structure Generation
-If a if a ravine is generated through a mineshaft, the wooden supports will not be removed and will stay in mid-air.

-Grass sometimes is found underground and in deep ravines, where there is no sunlight reaching it.


 * Caves generated next to water tiles will cause the tiles to act like it's against an invisible barrier (until the block underneath is destroyed). Here's the seed for anyone who is curious (the area in question is roughly west of the spawn point): -6743719744670282458 DNEA 02:40, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

-Sometimes in Survival Mode the colored lighting won't render right and ends up really weird looking.

-Mineshaft wooden supports sometimes generate midair when entering a cave.

Long Range Animal Attacking
If you are in creative mode, you are able to hit mobs from ~25 blocks away. Was only ~5 in SMP creative for me. 78.94.156.172 00:40, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Creative Water Buckets
Water buckets empty and you have to keep adding them to your inventory to use multipul water "blocks"
 * Wait, what? This sounds like something from before. Please explain without sounding dumb. Your excused if you're not fluent in English. &#124; JSan 02:30, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

- there are some blocks missing from the creative mode inventory menu. someone has already mentioned it. Nl37tgt 02:49, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Mobs do not spawn
If the game setting is set to peaceful, no mobs of any kind spawn. Pigs, sheep, cow etc. Not even squid or wolves. I have two friends who also can confirm this happened on their client as well. Gemini523 02:33, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Water ReRouting
Trying to reroute water underground that has been falling for a while, will sometimes leave the water flow at blocks it shouldn't really get to. Rywern 02:35, 10 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Any images to clarify? &#124; JSan 02:36, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Another picture showing what I meant in the first post. This is only affecting water that was there when the map was created. The water in this pic is flowing upwards, towards the block in question (northwest of the cursor, the dirt block) which was the block blocking the other waterfalls flow. http://i51.tinypic.com/55nlfp.png Rywern 03:07, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Dupe Glitch
When you place any item in a crafting bench then hit EE really fast then move it in your inventory it will make a infant block so you can have unlimited of any item.

SMP Add server screen
This was deleted as a dup but I don't see it anywhere.

I had my wolves sitting before i updated and now when i right click them they dont sit up.Michwald 02:56, 10 September 2011 (UTC)michwald

Boat comes apart
If I hit something at any speed, the boat explodes into logs and sticks. May be expected, never had this happen to me before.

Rain Underground
Title is self-explanatory: You can see rain even when you are underground. Gollum999 03:02, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Building (SMP)
Bug: Stone blocks destroyed by a wooden pickaxe turn into Iron ore immediately after being destroyed. Stone blocks drop cobblestone before turning into Iron ore. If you destroy the Iron ore you will receive the drop. If Iron ore is left alone it will disappear after a few seconds.

How to replicate: Destroy a stone block with a wooden pickaxe.

Frequency of occurrence: Every few blocks.
