! Minecraft used to work on WinXP 32bit with ~3,4 GB usable RAM until beta 1.7.3 even with "Far" video settings. I just got the famous missing chunks, which did NOT appear with "Normal" settings. After beta 1.8 with "Far", the jawaw.exe (the JavaVM) running Minecraft eats up memory over time (several minutes, faster when flying around) until hitting approximately 1 GB RAM, then Minecraft begins to lag heavily with freeze times from few seconds up to minutes, but without any major CPU usage. The spawn on an anarchic server even forced me to set video to "Short", because of freezing. F3 doesn't show any evidence of such a memory consumption. Allocating more memory is no use, because starting Minecraft fails if set over 1300MB and this does nothing to the freezing, which then starts even earlier, at 900MB RAM consumption. When set to "Normal", the JavaVM with Minecraft uses between 600-1000 MB. While there is a warning for the "Far" setting, there has to be a bug, because this is an unidentified RAM usage. If this bug is not in the game system, at least the debug screen has to be corrected. (CAPTCHA system seems broken for me and doesn't let me post links) Screenshot: h__p://i.imgur.com/lFgpq.png --78.35.138.237 03:29, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The 32-bit Java VM cannot give Minecraft enough memory over time in "Far" mode, and you've perfectly described the result: The game runs out of memory, gets laggy, and ultimately freezes or crashes. Don't use Far mode on 32-bit systems like the warning says--problem solved.  Running out of memory isn't a bug unless there's a memory leak, which isn't indicated.  The Java VM and the libraries Minecraft use require memory above and beyond what Minecraft is using internally.  ---Jovet 09:38, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

!Far away chunks don't update, and chunks aren't always loaded properly. You can see this glitch by using tnt. In a superflat world, create a long path of TNT. Ignite the tnt at the end of the path. wait in the same spot until all of the tnt has exploded. follor the craters from the tnt, and you will notice that it looks like some of the tnt hasn't exploded, even though it did. if you exit the world then enter it again, the world will properly update, and you will see the craters where the tnt that didn't look like it exploded was.

! 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 --184.76.94.151 04:40, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

! If the host for a LAN world changes (e. g., they were siblings), the new host will get the original host's items, and if the player who connects to the server is the host, they will get the items, exp, armor, etc. that the host has at the state it was published. I believe that if another player then joins the server, then they will get the same items and worn stuff as who last hosted the world. If the original host were to host again, they would have the last host's stuff. It is like they they have never player before, for they haven't, as a connected player. If a third player were to connect both times, it may keep his/her items, but I have not tested it. This issue reoccurs every time the host changes. I believe that this bug has something to do with a feature retaining to the items a player has on hand when leaving a world, and that ANY player can log into that world and have the items present at hand. And since the world must be opened to LAN, it is initially logged in as singleplayer, and so that event takes place. If a player who had connected to the world then hosted the world, their data would be lost. A protection or two must be placed, possibly toggleable, in order to resolve this. If offline, they must not be able to play on a LAN network, but should still have a separate profile than the rest. --Wormy14 13:02, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

! Travelling between the Nether and the Overworld still regularly causes you to fall into the void and die, probably because of non loaded chunks. -- Tiax 13:50, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Absolutely confirmed, no matter how many downvotes on Reddit I get for saying so. *Just* had it happen to me. It's gotten so bad that I've downloaded NBTEdit to teleport my player back to a sane location when it happens. Moleculor 00:53, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * For now, you can use a work-around by disconnecting and reconnecting BEFORE going through any portal. If it still happens, quickly dis/reconnect again and you should be on solid ground. 02:49 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Happens for me every single time I teleport back to the Overworld with my old world. After it happened in this direction I won't be able to teleport to the Nether either. Will do more testing with different/old/manipulated world files. -- Zuckel 08:25, 2 August 2012 (CET)
 * Happens for us with a portal sitting on 0,0 - every time going to the nether and most times coming from the nether. Another portal nearby has similar issues, but other portals in the world seem fine. Breaking and recreating the 0,0 portal does not resolve the issue. Could it be a divide by 0 error somewhere? 0,0 is not our spawn location if that makes any difference. Darkinnit 09:47, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * If this happens to you, you can also try to quickly switch to Creative mode and fly up and out of the danger zone of the void before you die. Then quit the world and re-enter, and it should then load okay.  You can then revert Creative mode.  Backing-up the player/level data file before traveling is also a good idea just in case. ---Jovet 09:55, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances

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. Server administrators are considering disabling trading and villagers on their servers because of the current imbalance, so this is a major annoyance. --WolfieMario 21:27, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
 * To reduce page clutter, thislong discussion moved to Talk:Villager Trading Discussion II Will collect the other pertinent links (that I know of) there. --Simons Mith[82.69.54.207] 21:07, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
 * As a note to Mojang employees (Sorry, I'm just worried this'll get glossed over): the discussion contains various suggestions to help fix this issue. My own suggested fix is aimed at being fast enough to implement within a reasonable time frame before or after the release of 1.3 (basically just a switch from Jeb's original offer prices to player-created prices, without the addition or removal of any offers). --WolfieMario 21:27, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

a! Falling in to the void kills you. Why? The player (in Survival) should never be able to reach there by normal means, so most, if not all times they end up in the void is due to a bug. Players should never be intentionally killed by bugs. Falling in to the void should simply teleport the player to their spawn, with their inventory intact. Moleculor 01:06, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * This is an excellent point and I fully agree for the Overworld and Nether. However, the End needs a special case as I believe you are supposed to die for falling off the End. Darkinnit 10:01, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

? Iron Ore does not yield experience when mined.
 * Iron ore isn't suppose to give exp. If it did, a player could keep breaking it, placing it, and rebreaking it to get a lot of exp.
 * If each block had a bit that could indicate whether a block is an originally-generated block or not, then that bit could indicate whether Experience points are deserved (i.e. the initial breaking). Every block the player changes by placing a new block can have its bit set to indicate it isn't original with the generator. ---Jovet 09:53, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Some blocks are already running out of bit-space, and implementing a massive increase in data structure size for as simple a feature as this when you still get the XP for smelting the block... seems like a waste.

! Signs often don't load properly and appear blank (only tested on SMP). When logging into a multiplayer server where there are signs over a large area, only the signs in the same chunk that the player has logged in at load correctly.

If the player logs out in a different chunk and logs back in again, the signs will load for that chunk, and the previously loaded signs in the other chunk will unload again. --Userof2 14:18, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances

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)

 * Maybe use an algorithm similar to the one the villagers use to determine a valid door? If it's a top exposed to air, it gets a texture. If it's a side exposed to air, and there are no more mushroom blocks within, say, 2 meters, it gets a texture. Stems are a separate block so they won't be affected by this and will just get the non-top texture. --5thHorseman 22:21, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

!mpTamed Wolves/Dogs: If a player attacks you, and you have tamed wolves, they become aggroed towards that player. They won't stop attacking said player until that player is slain. If the player logs off or is killed, the dogs still growl but otherwise behave like they are not aggroed. However, if they are left sitting down and the player walks away, they despawn as if they were a hostile mob. This is likely because the game thinks they are hostile untamed wolves. Below are a few different solutions I thought of.
 * Add an exception to the despawning rule for dogs
 * Make dogs not attack other players
 * Add a timeout so dogs stop targeting something if they don't get a hit within x number of seconds
 * Make a loop that runs every 5 minutes or so to check if a dog is aggroed, clear target it if is

undefined Mobs, including the player outside of Creative Mode, can breathe under lava. This is an oversight that has existed ever since Indev when the air meter was added to water, but Notch apparently forgot to add it to lava because back then it was impossible for any mob to survive under lava, which has changed since the addition of naturally fire-immune mobs in the Nether and potions of fire resistance. While it is true that it does not affect the gameplay much, it is still a bug.

World generation and switching worlds aWhen generating a new map, or switching from one world save to another, a lot of invisible underground structures and terrain are incorrectly rendered visible, instead of the surface terrain which should be rendered visible, in chunks near the player, this is really annoying and there exists that the possibility that inexperienced players could die due to fall damage from invisible surface terrain they fall onto due to the surface terrain in chunks next to the player not rendering at all in extreme instances. A temporary workaround is to exit and restart Minecraft every time you generate a new map or switch from one to another to limit this error, however, it is still possible that in some instances surface terrain will still not render properly resulting in chunks incorrectly rendering underground structures.

Sounds
Bugs ! - There is still an issue with missing pickup sounds, missing sounds for breaking certain blocks and missing footstep sounds on certain surfaces using OSX Mountain Lion. It is possible to fix the sounds by updating LWJGL (2.8.4) but doing so causes visual problems (rapid spinning when entering fullscreen and just perceptible flickering). This means either having to play the game without sound or not play at all because the flickering effects causes headaches. --Tseotet 19:37, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I can confirm this too. We are getting the same on our server and sometimes sounds are delayed by over 1 second with the "backlog" of sounds (eg. from a line of placed blocks) suddenly arriving in a bunch.  The actual block placement is happening in real time and no issues there, it's just the sound delay.  Our server location is in the next city and we experienced no such issues in 1.2.5 so it's clearly a bug with 1.3 and nothing to do with "servers with a slightly less than great connection". --Rik1301 23:07, 2 August 2012 (UTC)


 * This seems to only happen on SMP servers with a slightly less than great connection. I can't find it on Single player, nor does it happen on the rented server hosted withing the same state as me. It's almost as if the server is controlling the few sounds, block placing, footsteps and eating. Breaking, punching animals all have the timely sound response.
