Crashing/System
Bugs

!! LAN games on SSP may crash due to the lag. This may result in broken chunks, that refuse to load. If any entity is near the world hole, they will (somehow, really not sure) copy and copy and copy, until there is a mass army of that entity surrounding (and filling) the world hole. So far has been noticed with Zombies and Chickens. This also can slow the game down to a halt. http://i.imgur.com/fX9ZV.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/7L7Lk.jpg are examples. --debugman18
 * Have you tried reloading the chunks by holding f3 then pressing F? Donuts42 20:00, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Afraid that does not help at all. Also, it seems that the world is corrupted. If I view the world in McEdit, the world holes appear as other biomes.debugman18

!! mp if you make a lan server ,then a friend logs on to the server the server gets permently disconnected and says that you are playing on the same player

!! sp Seeing a very bad, constant crash after working fine since Wednesday. The server runs for a bit, then a player logs in and it falls apart with the following crash report. Player reports that going past z -1400 in the nether causes teh crash. Player was at x 2980, y 10, z -1380, then mined into -1426 when the server crash. Recreated it. Seed: 147. --Inertia undefined

!! ? You get a crash when you attempt to travel from the nether to the overworld
 * This clearly doesn't happen all the time for everyone otherwise it would have been reported just after the snapshot was released. Can you provide a crash report (should be something in your .minecraft directory)? What was your world seed? Coordinates of portals? Can you reproduce the crash easily? etc. --Mattrition 08:43, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

! sp In some computers, Minecraft may save your character's position and items, but will NOT save world changes, making hours of work gone to waste. --Manuelschi 00:06, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * "In some computers" can I have an example of such a computer? OS & Java version. Have you actually seen this issue happen in 12w26a, too? We save players and worlds at the same time now, they should never desync. Dinnerbone 10:43, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * 2GB of RAM, 32 bit, windows xp SP3, java 1.6. The level.dat files to be the one that updates through time but the region files seem untouched. In 12w24a seemed to save just fine (was unplayable in 12w25a) --Manuelschi 16:51, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Seem to happen in every non-flat world as the normal/big biomes worlds need more resources to run. --Manuelschi 17:12, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

undefinedsp7 64bit Minecraft now and then freezes a few seconds and then again runs normal. I don't know if this happens in MP. I couldn't detect a schema. I start minecraft with the normal launcher. Java is 7u5 64bit and my computer has 8GB Ram. This happened in 12w25a too.
 * Neither in SP nor MP reproducible. Same OS / Java here. Lagging in 12w25a was severe but never seen in 12w26a. --Kumasasa 19:04, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Occurs on my system. Minecraft freezes for a few seconds then unfreezes. Sometimes I'm able to move, but nothing else is moving. When it unfreezes, either everything fast-forwards or anything I've done, is undone. Happens less frequently when playing against a stand alone server (minecraft_server.jar) on a separate system. Seems to occur more frequently in jungle, forest, and desert biomes. WinXP Pro 32bit SP3, 2G, ATI Radeon HD 4600 series. --Foxfire 14:28, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined CMD-V does not work to paste things into Minecraft. Dinnerbone said he was having trouble with this because he didn't have a Mac. However, Minecraft recognizes the CMD keys as LWIN and RWIN in the controls menu, so enabling the LWIN-V and RWIN-V combinations to paste might do it. CTRL-V does work on a Mac, but it is unintuitive for Mac users. TorchicBlaziken 21:14, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined7 64bit Minecraft seems to be having issues with missing audio. The sounds from all other apps are still present, but Minecraft itself often remains silent. --User:BGB

Annoyances a! I have an absolutely horrible laptop; it's 8 years old and very beaten up. Minecraft 1.2.5 worked ok - with some lagg and occasional freezing and redstone lag. But in the snapshots, by making SP what is basically a server it has murdered minecraft and I always have block lagg, I mine one block, it freezes, then I've mined 10 by accident. I would like to see SP returned to normal, but when you open to LAN it converts it to a server? Or possibly make it optional if you want the option to open to LAN - if you hits no then SP is like it is in 1.2.5. I don't know, I'm not a developer, but please try and fix this for people with horrible computers. Sorry for long description/story which wasn't really needed; just wanted to explain the problem for bad computer owners. - kane
 * if it's a horrible laptop, and it's 8 years old, and you say it's beaten up. don't you think the fault lies with your laptop instead of minecraft?


 * I think that this qualifies as an annoyance mainly, because the game could/should be optimized by not starting the internal LAN server until the player clicks the "Open to LAN" button. 67.188.242.103 03:28, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

a! Minecraft doesn't support Windows1250 codes. I'm unable to write some letters.
 * Proper IME support has been a long-cherished problem for Korean users. We can see Korean characters in the game, but cannot type them. Even worse, Linux/Mac/Windows have different behaviors! (the input result is garbled but in different forms.) Currently we use a third-party mod that implements a Hangul composition automaton manually, but I'm not sure this type of modding would be supported in the future modding API. 143.248.134.183 12:52, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

a! From the moment you start playing Minecraft, you memory usage starts going up. The more you move around and load more chunks, the faster it goes up. So you basically have a time limit before the game begins to lag out and crash. It sometimes (not often) goes down a bit, but then starts going right back up, so sooner or later your game will crash. 76.119.224.99 15:07, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems normal to me. --66.133.216.4
 * Ok, you lost me there with all that code. Stephen82298 15:15, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

 * How do you give it one GB of RAM? --76.119.224.99 17:55, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * What OS do you use and how much RAM do you have? If you have Windows Vista, that could be the problem. Vista makes terrible use of memory. --Happykoala4 01:49, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

a! Ok, I have a REALLY old and crappy laptop, an acer with 1.7 GHz and 2 GB of ram. Now, I spawned a flatland world, and my fps maxed out at about 96. But, when I came to an NPC village, it got really slow really fast. My lowest fps was 2. It should be noted i was sprinting, but i was also sprinting before and got 96. I tried 4 worlds just to make sure, and the same thing. Also, when I left the villages, my fps went up to its highest.
 * This is probably due to all the entities that exist and wander about in a village, were you on Peaceful by any chance? I think people complain about slimes giving them lag. You could also try just standing still once you reach a village to see if everything levels out, as well at adjusting the rendering distance to see if that makes any significant impact. 78.145.250.250 02:22, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I did stand still, it did even out, but once I started moving again the lag came back. This never happened with villages before... It probably does have something to do with entities, I also lagged with sheep... XD I was also on the fastest settings for minecraft, and I tested it on my brother's computer, which is way faster, and I still lagged more with the village... Have you tested it? It probably has something to do with the new "Performance Improvement". And yes, I was on peaceful, but I don't see what that has to do with it, after all, I don't want slimes lagging me more.... :/ I was also on survival mode.
 * I used to find this sort of thing during Minecraft Beta, although I lagged extensively (almost to an unplayable level) when I tried moving anywhere not just near villages. Optifine sorted it out, but if it still lagged on a faster computer then it sounds like Minecraft is the problem not an overloaded CPU or not enough RAM. Have you tried setting Java SE as a High Priority?
 * Look: I went back to 1.2.5. Same computer. Same world. None of that sort of thing happened. :/
 * Try to get rid of the water in the wheat farm and the lava in the smith building. I was experiencing lags around liquids. Nether is almost unplayable on one of my crappier laptop. --sonanoka
 * Ok, Look: Can someone test this? Please? Like spawn a flatland world and Find an NPC village and see if you lag. And removing the water doesn't help :/ I think it's all the villagers wandering around :/ and probably all the slimes :/ And Yes: the Nether is not playable. Also: I went back to 12w25a (Probably not the best snapshot, so much bugs, mobs were frozen, I couldn't go to the Nether, NPC Villages spawned broken, and it didn't save my position when I left and came back.) It looked alot like when you disconnect from a server.... Maybe that's what kept happening... :D But NONE of the type of lag happened that happened with this snapshot... Like I said, it's probably due to the new "Performance Improvement".

 * Marking this as fixed, probably same error as below. /jeb_

f !! sp When I was going to publish my single player game, the game has crashed. It seems to be related with localization. See the following crash report. After changing the language to English (US), this crash bug went away.

fundefinedWhenever you try to connect to a LAN world running on a PC, you get a message saying "Unknown Host". If you connect to a MAC from a PC, it works fine, so it can't be that they just are not compatible. 76.119.224.99 14:46, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Upgraded issue -- Mustek 14:48, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Linux (arch) to Linux (Ubuntu) does not work (both ways). Tried also with the ip:port --37.14.144.57 19:36, 28 June 2012 (UTC).
 * Marking this as fixed, but I haven't actually tested it yet ;) I changed so instead of using the hostname (such as "jebzilla" for me), it picks the host address (such as "10.0.3.41" for me). Should probably work better for non-Windows. /jeb_

Gameplay
Bugs

undefined If you use a Nether Portal in the Nether with an X/Z coordinate between 3,750,000 and 3,999,999, you will fall into the void and die upon warping to the Overworld. This happens because you will be warped to X/Z coordinates between past 30,000,000 and 31,999,992. These coordinates are in the Far Lands, where block physics do not work, so an exit portal will not be created. So, since there is no clipping, you will just fall into the void, unless you are in Creative and start flying before you hit the Void. TorchicBlaziken 22:02, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined While the /tp command cannot be used to teleport someone past X/Z 30,000,000 because of the Far Lands, the server will not disconnect you until you are past X/Z 32,000,000, so you can just walk right past 30,000,000 and enter the Far Lands, falling into the Void if you're not flying. It would make more sense for there to either be an invisible wall like in Xbox 360 Edition, or it would disconnect you past 30,000,000 instead of 32,000,000. TorchicBlaziken 22:02, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

undefinedmp When leaving the game while sitting in a (still-standing) minecart, the player stands on the block below the minecart when reentering the game. After a jump the player sits normally.

Annoyances

amp Moving a portal in the nether one block cause the portal to jump to one of 4 portals in the overworld. Breaking the new portal in the overworld does force it back to the original portal. However, this is only temporary fix. Eventually the portal jumps again. This issue actually started in 12w23. Running on dedicated server (Ubuntu 12.04 w/ 2GB and SSD HD) with multiple client PCs.JC2XS\

a On Windows you can close Minecraft immediately with ALT-F4, but you can't use CMD-Q to quit Minecraft immediately on a Mac. TorchicBlaziken 21:02, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Fixed/Skipped

f !! You can make your world unplayable by going to the Nether and using a portal back to the Overworld with an X or Z coordinate of at least 4,000,000. This is because it will take you to an X or Z coordinate of past 32,000,000, which is considered an illegal position by the game, and you will be disconnected. Normally, when you re-log after an illegal position disconnect, the game will move you to a valid position. However, since you warped there from the Nether, it will just put you back where you warped in from the Nether. So, whenever you log on you will be immediately disconnected for your illegal position, and although it doesn't outright crash the game, it renders the world unplayable for that player. If I were the one who had to think of a way to fix this, (besides making places after X/Z 4,000,000 in the Nether an illegal position which would cause complications since you could use /tp to send someone past there) I would make the Nether Portal take you to the End past X/Z 3,750,000 in the Nether. The reason I thought of this number rather than 4,000,000 is because of the bug below. TorchicBlaziken 22:02, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a very replicable bug and quite mean, if there is any way to upgrade this bug to a more major status, I'd advise it. I wonder, they say minecraft is infinite but, to what limits? ;)-Prezi2
 * Fixed this by adding a clamp limit to portal placement. Not as advanced solution as the suggested one, but coords at several million is a special case anyway... /jeb_

 * Try putting more light around the seeds. They pop out of farmland if there is not enough light. Not a bug.
 * Worked, but if you see the video, I have glass and water up to the farmland blocks, so the seeds would be growing as if it were air (they should let pass the light, I think...), so, bug? --Asmcsl 23:10, 28 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 your 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.
 * Yeah, I cannot imagine that this was done for balance purposes. If you want fast shelter, it's just as quick and easy to punch a hole in the side of a hill. Quick mushroom houses were not winning the game for anybody. --Rifflesby 23:22, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Why shouldn't it work this way? Stops people wasting time with mushrooms that aren't going to be viable come daytime. If you want a giant mushroom without Mycelium, build a roof out of dirt where you want it. -- Lucifer_LLS 03:26, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) Mushroom growing still has issues. They were supposed to be growing in dark areas, but now the game only decides if it is in touch of skylight and ignores block light completely. And even if it is night you still cannot place mushrooms. 58.153.143.203

undefined When collecting Mushroom blocks with Silk Touch it will not preserve the damage value. TorchicBlaziken 23:49, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined 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. TorchicBlaziken 23:59, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When using bonemeal on grass in a dark room, nothing spawns (and if there already is tall grass/flowers in the room before it gets dark, they do not drop to items). This breaks seed-farms. Tested on Windows, SMP and SSP (in creative).
 * That technique was abusive anyways. This is something that was fixed, not a bug. --Moxxy 19:33, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks Moxxy for clarification, but in my opinion is still a bug as until now flower, wheat and grass popped up when low light level. And if what you say is true then why mushroom don't get destroyed when light level change, but just pop up. Definitely a bug in your opinion? --Nebux 22:24, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

a! If you are in the end and want to build a bridge away from end-island and build a block at the end of each chunk it will be a invisible / non existing block. When you reload your world the block becomes visible and you have the same problem at the next chunk border which is REALLY annoying.

a cr There are a few lines of code in the class for the End Portal block (the actual portal itself, not the frame) that prevent the creation of End Portals in the Nether or End except for like a split second after the Ender Dragon dies, even though this doesn't matter because you can't even make them in Survival. This only serves to prevent the player from replacing an End Portal in the End after a player in Creative destroys them. TorchicBlaziken 22:39, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

a Pumpkins still cannot be placed on air blocks, i.e. placing them on the side of blocks when there is air under them. This is just annoying because the player has to place pumpkins on a block, but they can just remove the block after without the pumpkin "popping" into item form.
 * You cannot place lit or unlit pumpkins from below to a block. Same as above. You always have to use a help construction. image:imgur.com/W9OCF --reptile311

a If you place a slab on a grass block (that has tall grass on it) from above (standing next to, looking down at where you are to place the slab), the game erases the grass and sets the block on the top half of the box. Common sense would say that the slab should replace the grass but be placed on the bottom half of the box. I assume this happens because the game uses the grass' bounding box to determine if the slab should be placed in the upper or lower half of the box. 5thHorseman 19:00, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

a The Fix that enabled swapping items with the same type but different damage values in the inventory was reverted. This is the case since the first server-singleplayer-separation snapshot. It is annoying to have to click 7 times to swap a half broken pickaxe with a new one instead of the intuitive 3 times.


 * I don't know why you would bother swapping picks, why exactly does this annoy you so? I arrange all of my types of tools I'm going to use in neat columns so that they're above the type of tool I'm currently using for a particular slot.  I usually have a full hotbar at the bottom, so if an item breaks I just hit my inventory key, shift-click a new one into place, or if my hotbar isn't full I just drag one down, and then Esc out of the inventory screen, and continue mining.  I also very much prefer mining with enchanted or diamond tools when I can get them, as this means I just have 2-3 tools at the bottom left 3-4 slots of my hotbar and mousewheel to them as needed.  The same applies to weapons or anything else I use a lot.  Is it really that much of an annoyance to you that you have to mine inefficiently with partly-used tools?  If they start filling up inventory slots, start combining partly-used tools to save on inventory space and solve the clutter in the inventory that way.  I'm sure there are smart ways to work around the problem of having to swap tools out. BrickVoid 09:14, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

TorchicBlaziken 23:22, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think that is a real bug, because it does not matter at all.

 * Please don't try to guess what is my opinion. By the way: breathing underwater may be a suggestion for a new poison. What I was meant to say is: the ability of breathing in lava don't interfere with the usual gameplay. The player and most of the mobs usually will just burn to death, no matter if they can breathe or not. So, in my opinion it is not really a bug. Also, making the game code more complex because of trivial issues costs valuable performance. --Murrrmel 14:58, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

This is outside a large village, in open fields with no holes for them to fall into - in any case, I've seen them disappear, not fall or otherwise. --Bpdlr 11:02, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
 * See Spawn, specifically the second point. Mobs have a chance of despawning if the player is not within 32 blocks for more than 30 seconds. This fits exactly what you have been describing, so I am almost certain that it is intentional. Please remove the bug if you agree with me. --Mattrition 11:30, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Downgraded to annoyance. Makes the Sniper Duel achievement pretty much impossible to get if true. --Bpdlr 19:05, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Bugs

undefined I have some chunk loading problems, as they render "last minute" or never. Had this problem since 12w25a and it continues in 12w26a. Click here for the video on YouTube, PC configuration is in the description - Singleplayer Creative Mode. --Freakedenough 06:13, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is usually reported as a bug, so I have changed it to one. Personally, this has not been a problem for me when running around in the current snapshot and it only becomes an issue when flying around quite high up like you are doing. --Mattrition 12:27, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Some torches still don't light up various places. Example: http://www.abload.de/img/flatp609a.jpg Anub!s 19:12, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a long standing bug from many previous versions. It usually only happens during generation, and a simple block update in the effected area will fix it. Very common in abandoned mineshafts.

undefined Using portals will remove any graphical effects on the player:
 * (Merged duplicate) Drinking a potion and then entering the nether removes the potion effects.
 * This has been reported before. Are you sure it removes the effects for you, or does it just remove the swirly bubbles even though the potion is still working? --82.69.54.207 16:48, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell its just the bubbles that disappear. This makes sense considering the other issue that I have now merged with this one. --Mattrition 14:54, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) If you get caught on fire in The Nether and use a portal to get to the Overworld, you will still take damage but you won't see the "on-fire" animation in the first and third-person view. Gingerpain 15:49, 27 June 2012 (EDT)

undefined The particles from sprinting on leaves are gray. The particles from sprinting on a cactus are from its bottom texture. TorchicBlaziken 01:13, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Ever since the 1.8 update, particles falling from blocks use the bottom texture rather than the top to prevent grey particles from sprinting on grass. I agree that the grey particles on leaves IS a bug and that it should be fixed.  08:07, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined sp cr Using seed -8756583261778760859 and navigating to coordinates x: -958, z: 2662 and flying around in Creative mode in singleplayer within 200 tiles radius of that location with fancy graphics enabled gives me extreme lag in this area. I find that a temporary workaround is to switch to fast graphics which promptly stops the fancy graphics from causing extreme movement lag. I've only tested this laggy location in Creative mode and I do not know if it also applies to Survival mode. If a map is made it is down below the lava spot (f:0 | f:3 quadrant) and seems to be triggered just by flying near the coordinates given while fancy graphics are enabled.

undefined Block textures are flipped when the block is held in hand, seen from third-person view. This is most noticeable for TNT (the writing is mirrored), but appears to apply for all blocks (for example, the "lines" on a glass block will go the other direction ). It also applies to Endermen ; it would be nice if someone could verify it for multiplayer. --GALAKTOSTalk – Win8βx64, Java7x64, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 07:33, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Occasionally, when holding a map, the player's left hand is visible, obscuring a large portion of the bottom left corner of the map. Restarting fixes it. --Bpdlr 18:49, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This happens consistently when you are in a boat or minecart. I can't get it to happen at any other time --Mattrition 10:43, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When viewing a map after a loading the game, it redraws the map incompletely, leaving blank vertical lines. The lines aren't then filled in if the player travels in into that area. --Bpdlr 18:49, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
