Crashing/system
Bugs !!smp Dedicated server went boom after 5 mins of gameplay. I'm really worried about this now. --Shelter 16:56, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed that should be fixed, but you really should use crash with more mem assigned on report (but not too much, iv seen assigning too much memory cause crashes, especially 32bit java). --93.106.181.53 18:38, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Someone else will have to do this as I can't control the memory assigned to me. I'll try to make it crash by running a local server test.

Gameplay
Bugs

a! Invisible spider that is not invisible by means of potion, started killing me after killed by another spider, can't use the world without blowing up the area to kill the spider as I can't see it. Very annoying without cheats if you want to rebuild your area again after blowing it up, plus, it's spider you can't see that wants to kill you.

undefined When Repairing items, it costs less exp and materials to make the item a 2nd time and put in the repair box than to use the materials to repair EX. My gold sword broke, I could choose to use 4 gold bars and 19 exp to repair, or make a new sword for 2 bars and 15 exp. Whats would you choose? Also its more of an exploit and not a bug.--Avery4life 4:40 pm, 19 October 2012

undefined While wearing diamond armor, anvils only do one heart of damage from falling at any height.
 * Intended and not a bug. That's the Safety Helmet Feature (TM) Dinnerbone, see Issues/Weekly_12w41b . Every helmet - even the leather cap - will protect you from too much damage. --Kumasasa 20:32, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

undefined Nether portals fail to transport certain entities which work fine through End portals. Minecarts, Storage Minecarts, and Lit TNT(pushed into the portal via piston) all tested and failed to go through, Arrows were iffy as well. - Malsententia 16:27, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

!sp Every 5 - 10 min the minecraft client freezes for 2, 3 seconds and then works again correctly. This is more then annoying when you fight a mob, after the freeze you are mostly dead :). I have only tested it in SP. My Specs are Win 7 64, Java 7u9 64, i7 2GHz, 8GB Ram, Nvidia GT540M 2GB. Normal world, with cheats and chest on. Fps on balanced 60-80. Java is normal started, so I think mc have enough (1024) memory. Today I installed mineraft new, but it further happens. It happens in survival and in creative (adventure not tested). This happens the last two or three snapshots. Have someone the same experience? ~reptile311


 * I experienced an issue similar to the one you mentioned after one of the snapshots a few weeks ago. In my case, however, the game quit on its own after about a minute. I fixed it by backing up my worlds and deleting the entire minecraft folder. Then I did a force update, and everything was back to normal. I am able to use all the snapshots and everything too. 173.49.209.151 20:05, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned, I fresh installed minecraft and the matter is still present. ~reptile311


 * Have you tried creating a new world and seeing if the same thing occurs - you world may be the problem, errors do creep into worlds, especially if you have been using it for a while and keeping up with the snapshots

Blocks
Bugs

! Repeaters that are powered by another repeater, but do not point at a repeater themselves, will not turn off.

! When powered from a button repeaters will not turn on for more then a moment even when they become locked while they are on.

undefined Was busy in my branchmine, when suddenly I broke a block and this silverfish came. I searched everywhere for a stronghold. None found, I even used cheats. Was on y = 10 by the way. 
 * Since one of the snapshots silverfish blocks can spawn anywhere underground but in really low rates
 * Neiter bug nor annoyment, since 12w38a they will spawn outside from fortresses. see Silverfish --Kumasasa 18:39, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

aCarrots should require water to not pop out, and they do. Potatoes and wheat shouldn't. Also I have talked to real potato farmers and they say that potatoes require dry ground (not absolutely dry, but dry). So maybe they should require be dry or poisoned potatoes are more frequent. --93.106.188.202 20:04, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

a Anvils break far too easily. I have a zombie dungeon XP farm and was going to rename all my diamond tools before enchanting them, and the anvil broke after renaming only about 32 items. It doesn't seem right that a crafting table is made from wood and never breaks from crafting, while anvils are made from iron and break easily. I can understand anvils taking damage from falling, but not from renaming/repairing.--JNRM3 22:00, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Mobs/NPCs/animals
Bugs undefined Zombie Pigmen spawned by portals in the overworld within the portal block are immediately transported through the portal that spawned them, rather than being treated like an entity that just came in through the portal. As a dramatic example, idling near this for an hour or two, will result in something like this when you go into the nether. - Malsententia 16:28, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

undefined Zombie pigmen do 6.5 damage on Hard, 4.5 on Normal and 2.5 on Easy instead of the intented 3.5, 2.5 and 1.5 because of the added sword damage. Most likely not intended because this makes fighting pigmen too hard compared to previous. --212.226.57.141 14:51, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

undefined If a Zombie is stopped before it finishes breaking a door the cracks it made are left behind, then if the door is removed it leaves behind a "cracks block?" (not an actual block). If anything is put in it's place even if it's a different shape (e.g. Fence) the cracks wrap around the object though it doesn't become damaged. The "block" and it's affects disappear after a few seconds or a chunk reload. --5ives 22:04, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Sounds
Bugs

! Minecart sound does not normally play. If you pause the game with ESC and unpause while riding a minecart, the sound will begin to play, but will not stop again until you are out of the minecart and pause/unpause the game again. It seems that pausing and unpausing the game causes the sound engine to update whether or not the minecart sound should be playing.

Annoyances a The text on the anvil (while using unicode font) is in a completely dark gray background (that is not wide enough for text).
