Crashing/System
Bugs !! sp Minecraft crashed after placing a portal somewhere in the Nether and entering it. Again a NullPointerException, I have no idea what caused this issue... Here's the Error Log: --Galaxy_2Alex (Talk)
 * With restart of Minecraft, the generation worked at all, but that is a bit annoying. --Galaxy_2Alex (Talk)

!! Everytime I click a button on the home screen (sp, mp) Minecraft crashes! Error report coming soon. For the record, I have TMI, so maybe I forgot to update it.
 * Please read the instructions. Do not post reports about a game that has been modded, and only post reports from snapshot 12W25a. FYI You are probably suffering from an un-updated mod, or you think that the mod will work on a snapshot. Please remove this report when you see this comment. --Mattrition 13:02, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

! Randomly getting kicked from SP because of an internal server error. --bartselen 18:59, 21 June 2012 (UTC+2)
 * Video shows what happens. I wish the console had recorded. Kryostic 12:10, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This picture is the error message from the console. Kryostic 09:55, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I've been looking at this bug for a couple of hours now, and it simply makes no sense at all. The crash occurs when the generator is about to place a monster room (the small dungeon rooms), when it tries to access 'level' in the middle of the method. What I'm saying is, if it's going to crash in that method, it should crash at the beginning of it instead of in the middle. A thread synchronization error seems very unlikely, since the 'level' variable is local to the method. Have you modded the snapshot in any way? /jeb_

! When I try to load up my world, it either takes forever and there is extreme lag, or it just shows the 'dirt' loading screen and then goes back to the title screen.--sdan8

Annoyances

a! On superflat, everything works more or less fine, but in a normal generated world and also in an mcedit generated flatworld on lv 64 every 2-3 seconds ( very regular intervall) the server/ server process doesn't respond for 0.5-1 second, best to be seen when looking at a redstone clock or trying to flip levers, wich won't work during the lagspikes. extremly annoying cause it breaks many things and the game experience -- JL2579

a!mp SMP server fairly regularly (once every three or four hours) drops all players (lost connection: disconnect.endOfStream) and shows many NullPoinerExceptions in the console, only visible from the stdout, never seen in the GUI console (partial stdout console output): http://pastebin.com/Fv8Fj8Xq
 * Have tried various different garbage collector schemes, none seem to help or hinder the symptoms, but the GUI console reports only 130 MB used, while the OS reports 700 MB used.
 * This player drop behavior can eventually lead to a situation where the server pegs at high CPU utilization, and cannot even respond to console commands. Only Ctrl-C or kill commands work. --Inertia 06:16, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed the NPE, but I'm not sure why players are disconnected. /jeb_

ampsu SMP servers running survival worlds are using 2 or more times more CPU than in the previous versions, often resulting in lots of "Can't keep up" errors and bad latency. This is only present on "regular" world types, possibly including large biomes. This issue is not present on super flat. --IPeer 17:10, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Could possibly be because of the new anti-hack encryption (flat worlds need to encrypt a lot less data). Investigating if it's possible to make the encryption optional. /jeb_

Fixed/Skipped

fa If you click on the "Save and Quit" (singleplayer), or "Disconnect" (Multiplayer), and then click it again before the option goes, the game tries to disconnect you twice the game then crashes with null pointer exception because of this. This appears to happen every time. Crash report: http://pastebin.com/TJaWzTbj --2rockon 18:41, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Not a major annoyance, because you don't have to click it twice. I couldn't reproduce this either because the button disappeared almost instantly every time I clicked it once --Mattrition 09:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Gameplay
Bugs

! Last weeks snapshot had almost no lag at all. this weeks snapshot has a lot of redstone lag. also when you place lever the sound plays 1 second after you placed it. when you use the lever the animation happens a second after you use it.--League 17:35, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I second that the single player server is seriously out of sync with the client. Mined ore blocks pop into existence and vanish again. Slimes which used to hop regularly make now very irregular sounds (great to avoid sand worms :-) Items now take much longer to be picked up when standing near, etc, etc... [Incelebrity] 17:49, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I have noticed increased lag in SMP with several clients and a Linux 12.04 server running Sun Java. This also happens with just one client currently logged into the server on the same LAN as the server.  I have "can't keep up errors" in the server log.  Most of the time the lag is blocks not disappearing when branch mining.  Last weeks snapshot did not have these issues.jc2xs
 * Linux 12.04 meaning Ubuntu 12.04? -crh23
 * (Merged duplicate) Experiencing actual lag on singleplayer. On previous snapshots after the merge, it was simple mob glitchiness, etc. but in this snapshot, I can hit a creeper with a sword, the game will pause for about 2 seconds then the knock-back will take effect and send the mob jerking away from me. This is a major bug because it makes fighting creepers and getting gunpowder nearly impossible because I cannot tell where the creeper is all the time and it will explode. Also, it is not my computer: AMD Radeon HD 6700; 8GB DDR3 RAM; Core i3 2100 CPU; Windows 7 Ultimate. I could play all other versions of the game with no lag and up to 300FPS.
 * I'm experiencing severe lag while breaking blocks or hitting mobs. Blocks reappear, or take a long time to drop their item. Hitting mobs only sends them flying a few seconds after I hit them. I noticed that my CPU usage is much higher with 12w25a than it is with 1.2.5. On the other hand, my framerate with 12w25a is around 40fps, compared to an average of 20fps with 1.2.5. I'm on a Macbook Pro, 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB of DDR2, and a GeForce 8600M GT with 256MB.
 * In a room full of sheep, you can literally hear the lag. They baa for about two seconds, then all stop for a second, then repeat.  Noticed on SMP with only one user on. --66.133.216.4 03:42, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) mpsu Mined stone, coal and sand blocks reappear. About every 10th .. 20th block. Mining the blocks a second time drops a second item. Reappeared sand blocks do not fall down if below is just air. Mining with Diamond pickaxe Efficiency IV / Unbreakable III or diamond pickaxe Efficiency III / Unbreakable III / Fortune II. --Kumasasa 18:54, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) Bows have lag most of the time. When you charge a bow. The arrow shoots a second after you let go.--League 16:14, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * All of these bugs are hopefully related to a problem that save files were closed each time the world was auto-saved. Fixing this improved save time from 500 ms to 20 ms on my computer, and made the game feel much more smooth. /jeb_

! Entities stop working, the snow cover block won't disappear when the block under it is deleted, gravel doesn't fall (most likely with sand, too), and I only have a limited space to move, because the chunks around the space won't appear. I recorded this video. Sometimes it'd work, sometimes it wouldn't. Some bugs weren't shown (like the chunk thing).
 * (Merged Duplicate) The entity bug is still in the game. Apparently, this bug isn't being corrected, which forces me to play in 12w21b.
 * This is a very vague bug that is assuming we know what you mean by "entity bug". That could mean anything. Please elaborate. --Mattrition 14:11, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Mobs freeze and will no longer spawn, chests, workbenches, etc. cannot be used, priming TNT will make the block disappear, breaking a block will not drop a resource, fluids will not update, etc. Basically, entities are bugged.
 * Wasn't this bug listed as fixed in Known_bugs/Version_12w22a? Techokami 15:01, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, that's what we're talking about. It sounds like its a difficult issue to pin down. I've merged this report with another more explanatory one. --Mattrition 15:21, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This happens every few seconds on my world. It renders the game unplayable. I wouldn't have believed it, but it's getting worse.--81.97.0.62 15:38, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This issue was partially remedied as of a previous pre-release (12w24a), but the bug is still in the game. It is still being worked on, and is an issue with having to run both client and server at the same time. Also, on a weaker computer, hitting escape and then returning to the game will freeze all actions and entities, sometimes making mobs run in a continuous direction through objects, and cause the server to stop interacting with the client. --Wormy14 17:28, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) The game now is unplayable for slow/old computers now, it freezes the whole world. All mobs are frozen in the game, the game gets very laggy at SP resulting in being unplayable in survival/adventure mode. I guess it has to do with the thing SP works now more like a server, than a normal single player game. While playing in creative mode, I noticed some blocks (like doors) don't get destroyed properly (due to lag) and after about 2-3 minutes they will disappear. Same happens to chests, crafting tables, furnaces, etc. Some sounds also don't display correctly (probably the same reason). --Wormer21 22:38, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) sp The world does not properly respond to many of the player's actions. Blocks can be placed and broken, but items do not drop from broken blocks, levers etc. cannot have their state toggled, attached blocks (e.g. torches, redstone dust) do not drop if their supporting block is broken, and console commands (there is no effect or chat bar message) do not work.  After an interval lasting roughly between 30 seconds to a minute, the game notices the player's actions, and their effects are applied instantaneously.  It also remembers what order the actions had been done in, so if you were in survival mode, typed in /gamemode 1, then mined a block, but not for long enough to break it, when the game catches up the block will be destroyed as if you had been in creative mode.
 * (Merged duplicate) Game stops working few seconds after loading a world. It didn't happen in 12w24a. (at least in my computer) --Sks0315
 * What do you mean by "stops working"? Do you get a crash report in your .minecraft directory? --Mattrition 15:21, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Redstone, entity don't work and if I destroy blocks and reconnect, they will be back. (Much like disconnected from server but client doesn't think so) --Sks0315
 * Can confirm. Game responds for at most 2 seconds before stops responding with a system of 2GB of RAM and 32-bit processor with Windows XP. --Manuelschi 17:28, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Could you describe what you mean by "stops responding"? Does it feel like any of the issues described above i.e. all mobs stop moving / the world stops updating? Or is it more like the whole game, including the player and controls, freeze up? --Mattrition 12:46, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Similar to the bug reported above, you can still move and do basic actions, but with no responce (just like the moments after a server crash, you're still there but can't interact with the world). --Manuelschi 21:46, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

! Mobs and other entities freeze every few seconds.
 * Confirmed for SMP. --Kumasasa 19:45, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Not only do they freeze, but they unfreeze where they would have been if they were not frozen. This is most notable in the Ender Dragon.  It also applies to entities such as mine carts and arrows.  --107.2.255.13 03:01, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) Riding a minecart freezes the motion every few seconds. Animation of torches continues. --Kumasasa 19:45, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I expect that all entities are suffering from this motion jitter, including mobs, minecarts, and boats. But I am not sure enough to merge this report and the one above into an "Entities freeze every few seconds" report. --Mattrition 12:57, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Do it. I think that issue has the same reason. Kumasasa@work

! If you play LAN with someone on Hardcore and the other one dies, the world stops "responding to you" (No drops, Mobs don't move, just like when you loose connection while on a Server). The world gets deleted when you leave it like when you die.

undefined Carts tend to stick to one another due to mine carts repelling each-other on impact, causing them to continually launch themselves forward. I made a video --UltimaCreations 21:28, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When the player is underwater and comes up for air but returns back underwater less than a second later, the meter that gauges air is not refilled, although it does disappear when the player's view is above the water. --Keithicus420 23:22, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When entering the Nether, you sometimes are in the void before the game places you in the portal. TorchicBlaziken 01:26, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I think this might be the fault of the game rendering you before the land under your feet. I know what you mean, for example, if someone TPs to coordinates they've never been, it's going to take a while to render those blocks. However, I don't think this is a bug. Downgraded. --Keithicus420 22:03, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Falling into the void because the game failed to render the chunks before you land is a bug. re-upgraded. --Kumasasa 22:15, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't understand what you mean? Can you describe the issue a bit more? --Mattrition 09:40, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * You fall only if there are solid blocks 2 blocks over the bed or less, if there are no solid blocks around it, you fall in front of the white side, if there is a block in front of that side, one block higher then the bed, you won't fall, and for some reason, you always face the north, according to the map. But it still works you still sleep --Domeguy 12:35 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't get it. You mean that you fall down when getting up from sleep when there are no solid blocks around your bed ? --Kumasasa 18:04, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * No. When going to sleep, you don't lay down in the bed, you sort of fall down beside the bed and lie on the floor. You still will be able to sleep there. JonHa97 20:11, 26 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. To make matters worse, you can only get one "Protection" enchantment on a piece of armor. TorchicBlaziken 20:41, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

a In my, and many other's opinions, to erase past trades after a few uses was a very bad move. many had set up shops, based on specific items the villagers had. furthermore, this makes "upgrading" villagers not possible. at all.--Kizzycocoa 18:09, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * As trading was only in development builds up to this point, he doesn't really have to take such things into account. This was a response to them seeming overpowered - I honestly hate the idea, but as a development feature, he isn't obligated to the few users making use of this seriously. --MegaScience 18:13, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * You can buy diamond armor for about 240 sugar cane. I think it's okay to have to work a little to enable this trade.
 * Enable? sure. but to remove it after working for it? I don't think so. I'd be pissed. our entire community is sticking to 12w24a as most of us disagree with this change. Perhaps something else should be done. such as limiting expensive trades to one per day. or making you need to trade 15 times on any material to get a single upgrade. --Kizzycocoa 18:55, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Currently the code contains a wealth value for villagers, which increases when they are traded emeralds (increased by the amount traded), and never decreases - this has existed since the first public release of trading, but has absolutely no use currently. Perhaps wealth could affect offer removals, making them less likely? This way, frequently traded villagers could end up with offer slots which last longer. Or perhaps, rather than removing offers, they should be disabled after a fixed number of uses, and get re-enabled over time, where wealth reduces the time it takes for the offer to get enabled again? At any rate, I also disagree with the 12w25a change in its current form. --WolfieMario 14:06, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I fail to see how this is a bug... please don't clutter this page with personal feedback on game design decisions. This is for reporting bugs, and clutter like this makes it harder for the devs to sort the legit bug reports from everything else. --76.4.89.161 22:44, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

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. TorchicBlaziken 16:31, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * If I recall correctly, this was an intentional change for balance purposes. It was too easy to use a red mushroom and bone meal to make an instant shelter. So you're options have changed to keeping mushrooms underground, or planting a mushroom on a Mycelium block (obtainable via Creative and/or using a Silk Touch shovel on a Mycelium block). Techokami 00:25, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Think about that. Is it really easier to kill a skeleton and make bonemeal, then find a red mushroom and grow it then to just mine a few dirt blocks and build a shack? It's an obvious bug, however it is a feature that they are not able to be placed in daylight.
 * (Merged duplicate) Mushroom growing still has issues. They were supposed to be gowing in dark areas, but now the game only deicides if it is in touch of skylight and ignores blocklight completely. And even if it is night you still cannot place mushrooms. 58.153.143.203
