! 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.

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)

 * 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)

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)

 * Dinnerbone said it's not a bug, but said we can put it under annoyances. Intended or not, it is annoying. --WolfieMario 20:23, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I think a better implementation would be to have the blocks respond somewhat as grass blocks, growing the appropriate skin if exposed to an air block on that side. -- Featherwinglove 12:37, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Good idea. --Steve G. Wood 19:06, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't that make all faces of a mushroom block that aren't touching another block use the "outside" texture? I would think that would cause problems with huge red mushrooms. E-102 Gamma 22:06, 30 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)

a! 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. Any signs that are further away do not load correctly and will appear blank 99% of the time. 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)

!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

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.
