Minecraft Wiki:Issues/1.3.2

Crashing/System
Bugs

!! While not necessarily a crash, it's almost the equivalent of one. Both singleplayer AND multiplayer lag so badly that I literally get 1 frame per second. I've set my graphics options to the lowest, like my render distance is set to TINY, my performance is set to MAX FPS, and graphics are set to FAST. This does absolutely nothing. I only have two mods installed (Modloader and TooManyItems), and before 1.3.2 and after (in the snapshots), I usually get around 30-50 fps. This is extremely aggravating because I can't play Minecraft in its current version no matter what I try.

!! When in Multiplayer, Doing direct connect and pressing "Join Server" it crashes sometimes.

!! When in Multiplayer, choosing a server and double clicking it or pressing join server will crash minecraft sometimes

!! Minecraft simply won't launch at all. After unzipping and clicking the APP it just says "Minecraft is broken and it can't be started. Move to trash/Cancel". I think it has something to do with the zip file but i can't know for sure... Also impossible to add crash report since there is no CR. I did not have any problems before 1.3 update. I have iMac with latest OS. And yes I have checked for updates and my java is uptodate. Tested also with my MacBookPro (older os), won't work. Fix would be appreciated :) --78.27.77.253 18:00, 21 August 2012 (UTC) FoleyQ
 * This is because Gatekeeper blocks the file, as it hasn't been signed, but because of the way a .app launches a .jar file, it doesn't present the same dialogue box as any normal unsigned .app. I believe signing the .app with a Developer ID (https://developer.apple.com/resources/developer-id/) would fix this issue.

undefined i can't play the game because after it says java everything is with complete lag and even if i cilck something it does do anything, just moves extremely with a ton of lag. It hasn't crashed/freeze (only if minecraft is not responding) so i try re-installing Minecraft/deleting .minecraft folder and go on minecraft for it to download packages almost everyday, Im not know why its doing this but i can play other random games ect. its sad 'cuase i only gotta play the 1.3.2 minecraft update once and also even the browser minecraft doesn't work so i really am confused.

mod i can't get the game to work at all after i added the Uranium Mod. i got rid of the uranium files but it still does not work. here is the crash report:

undefined


 * Your game is modded. That's not a bug, it's either a broken installation or mod. Please put only vanilla bugs, and sign with four tildes like so jaredjeya 16:33, 23 August 2012 (UTC)


 * By removing the uranium mod, it is possible that you removed [part of?] the world generator too.

!! The game crashed when I tried to join a LAN server. I just noticed there's an IP conflict.. my hotel's router gave me 192.168.1.2, my VPN got me on 192.168.1.243, and the server in the VPN'ed LAN is also 192.168.1.2.

!! Whenever I go into a mutiplayer server, it seems to always crash, with a slim chance of it working. It never happened to me with 1.3.1. Here's the crash report:

undefined
 * Never happened with 1.3.1? Crashes with this JRE version (Java 6 Update 15) have been reported. In any case, your Java is way out of date and this is almost certainly the cause of your problem. -- Featherwinglove 12:29, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

!! mod Random crash when entering a bukkit-mulitiplayer server.

undefined

undefined
 * I fixed the grammar and capitalisation, put the bug in the correct section, the crash report inside a crash template for you and added the crash bug tag. Please pay more attention to grammar and capital letters next time - it makes your report just that bit harder to read, and that in turn makes Mojang's job harder than it needs to be. --82.69.54.207 22:51, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Is your minecraft modded? --188.238.242.198 05:55, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Update your Java, you are using 6u22; the current version is 7u5. -- Featherwinglove 12:29, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Java version is quite unlikely a cause in this case, Minecraft can run on Java all the way back to version 1.5. It is probably just a glitch. --Wormy14 20:30, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Anybody else notice "Very likely" for modded? Is your Minecraft modded? Because that would be the problem.

undefined lan On Debian, /etc/hosts usually maps the laptop's own hostname to 127.0.1.1, an alternative loopback address (e.g. "127.0.1.1 mylaptop.mydomain mylaptop" - all of 127.0.0.0/8 is loopback). When a Minecraft-on-Debian user advertises their single-player game to the LAN, the multicast announcement comes from their LAN IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.2), but the server only listens on 127.0.1.1 and announces that address in the multicast packet, e.g. [AD]127.0.1.1:58388[/AD], making other machines unable to join. --smcv
 * This isn't a Minecraft bug. Your host config is broken - i.e. it says your host name is the loopback device, it happens on other OSes as well. At best it is a feature request where the "Open to Lan" form should ask what NIC you want to open the game on -- Warjort
 * It's the standard configuration for at least Debian 6 and Ubuntu 11.10, and anything with libnss-myhostname - they map the hostname to loopback because a typical desktop/laptop doesn't have any other permanent addresses, only temporary DHCP-assigned addresses, and various apps (like Minecraft) make the mistake of assuming that the result of hostname is a meaningful DNS name (on a typical desktop/laptop, it isn't). If Minecraft listened on 0.0.0.0 or :: (all local IPv4 or IPv6 addresses at once), and used the address from which it received the multicast advertisement as the address to connect to, it wouldn't need to distinguish between NICs at all, and LAN games would "just work". --smcv
 * Actually that's a common misconception, 0.0.0.0 is the "any" address not the "all" address. But I would agree that it is probably a better default than java's InetAddress.getLocalHost.getAddress which is what appears to be used currently.
 * The easiest way to solve this problem for everyone is to manualy specify minecraft server IP. However mojang doesn't give any option to do that. --Fake

!! Any time I try running Minecraft, I get an instant crash from the Mojang splash screen. This also happened right after updating, so my .jar is vanilla. --TheUltamate 04:14, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I've seen alot of null pointer exception errors, some from myself. And i think ive seen this error before. Try going into the .minecraft folder and delete a folder named 'bin' then redownload the game from the launcher. If that doesn't work, try checking for corrupted files or other programs possibly interfering with it. If nothing works go get a nerd.

aWhen quitting the game and returning to the menu I get this stackstrace. When restarting the last changes seem not to have been saved. undefined

a!Now that the Minecraft client itself can be a server, the OS X firewall is unhappy. Every time I open Minecraft, a firewall warning quickly pops up and disappears. This has always happened, but now the first time I go into the Multiplayer screen (after every launch) the same firewall warning appears, giving me the option to "Allow" or "Deny" Minecraft.app from "accepting incoming connections". What makes this most annoying is that to allow it through the firewall, it requires an administrator's password. I've tried manually adding the .app and .jar files to the firewall's list and setting them to allow, but even that doesn't work. However, there is one fix - to codesign the .app, as the firewall automatically allows signed apps through it. I can also confirm that this fixes the issue, as I used my own certificate and key-pair to sign the app through Terminal, and it no longer produces the dialogue box. See https://developer.apple.com/resources/developer-id/ for more information about signing the .app. Jrtc27 10:35, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Demo version
Bugs

undefined I'm not sure where to report this. So I understand if the demo is bugged but when I try playing Minecraft Classic it tells me "An error occurred while loading the applet. Please contact support to resolve this issue. Fatal error occured (5): A device attached to the system is not functioning" meanwhile the Demo says "Failed to launch Fatal error occurred (5): A device attached to the systeem is not functioning Extracting: windows_natives.jar.lzma to windows_natives.jar." I have played this game on my cousin's computer and I am really wanting to buy it but I am worried that this error will happen on the actual Minecraft game. Anyone have any ideas about this? --Jason


 * Does not belong here, because bug in Minecraft Classic. --Kumasasa 05:54, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm just concerned that if I buy the game I won't be able to play it. I have tried posting on the Minecraft forums and heard nothing. This is the last place I have tried using. --Jason
 * Why don't you play the demo of the current Minecraft version ? Go to Minecraft Demo, register an account and play !--Kumasasa 06:09, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * That is the other problem. The demo hasn't been working just like Minecraft Classic so I have no idea if the actual game will work. --Jason
 * It asks if I want to update if I say yes it tries to load but then says "Failed to launch Fatal error occurred (5): A device attached to the systeem is not functioning Extracting: windows_natives.jar.lzma to windows_natives.jar." and if I say not now instead it will load and then say "Done Loading" but the loading bar isn't full and it just stays that way. --Jason

Gameplay
Bugs undefined When a boat crashes into a mob or block at a large speed, the boat will break (if not a mob) and the player will fall through the world into the void. NOTE: this is not a rendering issue, if left alone using mods/godmode to be able to not die in the void, the player's y will decrease until the game crashes at y = -32000000 (known bug due to java integer limits) (tested in SMP only) --AlphaModder3 22:38, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

! If you use a 2 bucket stack and you fill one with water the stack will still say 2 buckets but if you open your inventory and try to separate the stack it deletes your armor for no apparent reason. -CraftierCrafter

mp When you kill a zombie attacking a door, a broken air block appears. I test this on bukkit server. The broken air block is indestructible. August 23rd.

! The lwjgl library shipped with Minecraft often doesn't recognice keys being pressed/released, which results in the player continuously walking in some direction or continuously jumping/sneaking until you press+release that key again. I think this is a major bug, because it causes death to the player by falling down somewhere or falling into lava very often. You can fix this by replacing the lwjgl library with lwjgl 2.6, but every Minecraft update overwrites the lwjgl library again. 92.229.207.1 08:27, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

ssp When walking diagonally into walls to move around it or across a straight wall, it sometimes happens that the player can walk into the wall or get completely stuck, this can kill the player with suffocation damage, flowing water can also push the player into a block and cause suffocation damage.

! mp Noticeable server lag on connect, sometimes resulting in a disconnect.overflow. Has been tested on two separate VPS' with a fresh run of Minecraft_Server.exe. Performing the same test in 1.2.5, everything is absolutely fine. Copying the newly generated 1.3.2 world to a 1.2.5 server also shows the issue is limited to 1.3. Interestingly this only happens with the Default world type (happens in the Nether too) but not in freshly generated Flatlands worlds. A better example of this in action is with Bukkit and multiple worlds

! When I eat food, sometimes it automatically eats another one of that type of food. It doesn't even play the animation, it just makes the sound, and takes my food. This is really annoying as this bug normally happens when I am already nearly full and don't want to eat anymore.
 * unsure if this is related, but sometimes when i eat food on Bukkit it tends not to refill hunger like it should, instead wastes it as a resource.

! Similar to 1.3.1, when entering the nether on my MP server the world sometimes fails to load. You and any surrounding mobs just bob up and down in nothingness nigh-endlessly. (Eventually I began to suffocate and upon reconnecting, I found I was at the level of lava, inside the ground.) This is identical to the falling through the world bug in 1.3.1 except you don't die right away, and it gives you more time to disconnect and reconnect. You still might end up BELOW your portal, though, which could land you in lava. --Zair99 19:23, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Similar to this bug and probably the same problem but on our server, you appear 1 block lower than the portal (i.e. You're in it). Most of the time you eventually appear at the correct height but then the portal is activated again and if you don't move quick enough, you get transported back to where you came from. Happened in 1.3.1. --Denney 13:52, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm getting a bug where travel between dimensions in general cause problems. Sometimes I end up in random locations, and on occasion I get a "network error" message where the game simply crashes altogether on single player.  There still seems to be some sort of portal bug error in place.  --Robert Horning 07:13, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * In 1.3.1 our server had one overworld portal that when used would lead to a fall through the nether glitch every time you used it. In 1.3.2 every portal will do it, but only occasionally, so you can now fall through the nether or fall through the overworld. Also, once I disconnected during a fall in the overworld, and when I reconnected I was in a cavern fifty blocks below the portal, so there's that. RVernon 15:02, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

! Mobs and other players sometimes glitch in the ground making them black or not visible at all.  QuAd205 ( T 14:05, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I can confirm this. Mostly seen with villagers and iron golems. --Denney 05:46, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Not sure if this is the same bug; but while transporting villagers with a mine-cart the villagers would suddenly disappear. The cart responded exactly like an empty cart (same inertia/momentum), after a seemingly random period of time the villager would suddenly reappear in the mine-cart as if nothing had happened. Another time this glitch occurred I accidentally entered the mine-cart while trying to place some rail under the cart that "held" the villager. I assumed the villager lost and continued to my base with another villager who was in front of the previously mentioned villager. When I returned to collect my rails, the lost villager was standing next to the spot where I had entered the cart. (this occurred while running a vanilla version of Minecraft 1.3.2) --Dvb9096 05:05, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

! I seem to be taking fall damage from falls from 2-block high ledges and even from just jumpingin the prerelease--213.118.132.164 21:26, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It does seem that falling damage has been tweaked a bit. I need to fall from a 3 block height (or jump from 2 block height) to take damage. Places that used to leave the player with a heart or two now kill you. --Denney 13:45, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Major. Died like that in Hardcore. --Blackbird626 22:10, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed, on my MP server I sometimes take damage from 2 blocks high. A 4 block fall took off 2 hearts. I nearly died going down a mountain before I figured out what was going on! In SP it was a little better, with a 4 block fall doing 1/2 heart, and a 7 block fall doing 2.5. --Zair99 22:57, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Same here, i am getting hurt at 3 block drops in some servers. SP 3 block drops don't hurt me as often, but still on occasion do.
 * Tested and confirmed on separate setups, players, computers, and servers. Single player is consistent with the 2 blocks per heart minus 3 equation, but multiplayer is not consistent. Different healths were obtained using a control of 20 blocks fall distance, ranging from 4 hearts left to death. My assumption is with all the server-side controls of the game environment in this version, it seems latency affects distance measurements far too much. There are also plenty of reports that sound lags when placing objects and footsteps, and I personally experience massive jumpy lag when riding a minecart, even though my latency is above average for a real-time online game.

! /tp command is broken dimension-to-dimension. Scenario: Player1 is in the overworld. Player2 is in the nether. Player1 use command /tp Player1 Player2.

!mp The invisible blocks phenomenon reappeared, especially when digging down a pillar. The view is shaking until leaving and reentering the game. --Kumasasa 20:55, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * This happens very consistently when digging down on a dirt pillar, about a 20-30% chance per block you try to dig. This is on vanilla MP, linux server, OSX client. There are no errors in the server log. --RogerWilco2
 * (Merged duplicate --Kumasasa 23:38, 18 August 2012 (UTC)) The 'sinking into blocks and getting stuck' bug seems to be getting stranger. I'd pillared up into the sky on leaf blocks, got jammed, tried both jumping and removing the blocks around me, and ended up marooned in mid-air. Plenty of time to look around, take a screenshot, etc. The other consistent symptom I see is that while stuck you vibrate up and down by about 1/16 of a block several times a second. Pausing and resuming, and even quitting and reloading the world (but I didn't quit the Miecraft app itself) did not fix matters. However, after the quit and reload a block that I'd destroyed reappeared, and when I rebroke that I fell out of the trap and could resume my game. --82.69.54.207 22:07, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate --Kumasasa 17:53, 20 August 2012 (UTC)) Since the upgrade to 1.3.2 I have had this problem twice. Never before then, so I assume it has something to do with the upgrade.  (In fact, if I remember right, the first time this happen was the very first time I logged on after 1.3.2 was installed.)  As soon as I log into single player and get to point of gameplay, the game is immediately trembling vertically.  It is as though I am constantly trying to jump when there is no space available to do so, only it also prevents me from being able to move around.  (I can turn within a single point, but cannot leave that point.)  The first time this happened, I was eventually able to get my Player to enter the bed, and when it got up the problem went away.  The second time, there is no bed available, and it just keeps on trembling.  Was occassionally able to place blocks, but could not remove them.  If I log of and log back on, nothing changes.  It seems as though gameplay is permanently disabled until I can get this problem resolved at this point.

undefined Building a water tram (or EATS) in which the boat runs on ice caused the boat to become glitched, so that it will move only in a straight line, going through blocks, and floating through air until it slows to a stop (after it leaves the water streams) upon stopping, it will warp back to the start of the track and continue until it is broken at the start. After it touches the ice on every iteration, it cannot be left or right clicked. Just after it leaves the end of the track, it will drip water, and won't collide with the player until it dries off. I have no idea how this happened, and I have no idea where to put this report, so it could be misplaced. George_Mallory 22:02, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

undefinedcr When flying over great distances in creative mode, you obtain enough inertia to be propelled very far. How to reproduce: enter flying mode and fly 1000 metres in a certain direction (e.g. f:0). When you've reached the 1000 metre mark, let go of the forward key. You should keep flying for another 700 metres before you come to a stop.

smp Randomly, when entering or exiting the Nether, experience appears to get reset to 0. Happens on our multi-player server to multiple people. Happened on 1.3.1 as well. --Denney 13:50, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined When I was playing creative mode, there was a lightning storm, and the fire from it never burned down. This is on Windows Vista. I really don't know what category to place this into. Cookie FONster 13:59, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I have witnessed this twice in 1.3.1 and once in 1.3.2 in SSP (which is strange in itself given I've only witnessed one lightning storm in several hundred hours of gameplay since lightning was introduced -- is lightning more frequent now?). The fire persists even after logging out or moving far enough away for the chunk containing the fire to be unloaded; however, the fire will be gone when logging out with the chunk unloaded then returning to that area. --Be unreasonable. 13:20, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I saw this in 1.3.1 SMP (I had also never seen a lightning strike ground before). I stepped into the fire and the flames that indicate that you are burning appeared on the screen. The fire wasn't really there so I didn't receive any damage though. Kp 22:10, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep, I'll confirm this for v1.3.1 and v1.3.2. Fire persists for quite a while. Walking into it indicates you're on fire but doesn't do any damage. --Denney 05:37, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined When filling up water/milk/lava in stacked buckets, it will usually result in an extra duplicate of the filled bucket. This might affect gameplay, since they can exploit this to cheat. Tested with 2 stacked buckets, and filled them with water, got 3 water buckets.

undefined Got into a boat which was slightly on land when I got in. Set off slowly, but did not speed up. After about 30 blocks of slow progress, got out of the boat and teleported 30 blocks back to where I'd got on, with the boat 30m away at the point where I'd given up. Simlar to the EATS road boat glitch also, but not quite the same.

Re-opened the survival world to find my Kain skin, but I cannot move (not even my cursor), and the game acts either like I'm repeatedly pressing sneak or jump and I almost fall through the floor of my house several times. This only happens on that world. Tried meerly quitting and re-running the game, but it only made the skin revert back to Steve. The game has not crashed, but I cannot play that world.

undefined There is a short period of lag (very quick, but a noticeable block flicker) when holding down right-click on the block while mining the block. --Wormy14 12:19, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

undefined Also, a more serious lag issue occurs when you are mining a block, then if you suddenly switch tools or switch to/from hands when mining, you will clearly see the block lag, seeing it reappear for a second or two, then dropping as a drop. This is a serious slow factor when switching your tool to improve efficiency while maintaining durability on upper-grade tools, on things like wood or melons. --Wormy14 12:19, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

The best way to explain this is when you try to use chest Example:taking stuff in/out it will put it in/out of your inventory/chest.Basicly ignoring EVERYTHING you do to a chest.This bug strangely does not effect other GUI items(I might be wrong,but I haven't seen gui lag except for chest.)

!SSP Worlds are not being properly saved and/or recalled by the game. Similar to a bug listed in the 1.3.1 wiki, with great frequency I can destroy and place blocks, then save and quit the game, only to log back in and find that the blocks I destroyed have been replaced and anything I built has been undone. It is as if when I log in the game is loading a save from 5 minutes before I hit the "save and quit" option. This is especially annoying with chests. If a chest happens to be lost in this fashion then everything in the chest is lost as well. This bug is especially frustrating. I have been able to replicate this bug in both SSP and CSP, but not in SMP, yet. --hogzfan

aSMP Right clicking on a chest twice in rapid succession causes the chest to do strange things while you are still accessing it's contents- Just an artifact, I suppose. The chest will sometimes stay open, will sometimes close behind the GUI and remain closed, and sometimes will stay open, even after the GUI is closed, and then never open/close again. Multiplayer users agree with chest's position- Only fix is to destroy the chest, but it has no affect on gameplay- Just a visual thing. 72.93.203.126 02:49, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

a! Block update lag mouse input issues still persist, with multiple place, multiple switch/door/gate frobs, and even multiple breaks happening on a regular basis. I'm not sure why block update lag spikes are getting worse, but it might just be time for me to get a better system. Nevertheless, I was, and still am hoping to see one update per frame when I let go of my mouse button before the frame in which I pressed it is over. Griefing my own SSP game like Team Avolition was pretty funny, but it gets old fast! -- Featherwinglove 12:53, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Update: Starting with version 1.3.1, I began to experience block placements on subsequent frames, and this is how most triples occur (A "triple" is a single commanded block placement happening on one frame followed by two uncommanded block placements on the next frame.) If I am placing a block where two possible subsequent placements may occur without moving the crosshair, the commanded placement appears on one frame, which lag spikes for about a quarter of a second, by the end of which I have released the RMB.  After this frame, the two subsequent uncommanded placements appear about half a second after I have released the RMB, on the same frame and with a single placement sound audible.  There are also many occasions where the lag spike does occur, but unintended placements do not; almost all of this correct behaviour occurs with placements at eye level, while unintended placements are usually made after an intended placement above or below eye level.  Unintended placements after a deliberate placement above eye level usually go into eye level; this is an effect of my branch closure technique, so I believe that the likelihood of unintended placements depend on the relative altitude of the commanded placement.  I have verified this eye level correlation by often commanding placements at three metres distance so that the two subsequent uncommanded placements have room between the commanded displacement and the character.  I have also noticed that switching off smooth lighting makes the lag spike and unintended torch placements less severe, but I don't think this is relevant.  Turning off smooth lighting has had no effect on the occurrence or duration of lag spikes and uncommanded placements associated with zero-luminance blocks like brick and cobblestone.

a! (Yes, this is at least as important as a minor bug). Just tested a 1.3.1 client connecting to a 1.3.2 server. The initial load of the screen and low responsive-ness at start got me blasted by a creeper before I knew what happened.
 * In single-player, a non-responsive game slows down everyone -- even the mobs -- and you don't get blind-sided.
 * In normal play, you can see areas where there are lots of mobs, and if you pay attention, you can get warning sounds of mobs before you reach them.
 * But when logging in, when there is nothing you can do? That's just cheap. --Keybounce 14:32, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Semi Confirmed, I played on my friend's PVP server, FlameZone PVP, which was dated to 1.3.1 but I and some other people who had disconnected updated to 1.3.2, and were still able to connect because of how minor the updates were.

In addition, most 1.2.4 mods worked with 1.2.5 just as well, and also were allowed to connect from 1.2.5 to 1.2.4. Tested vanilla, not Bukkit.

The other glitch is the inability to use any block that is interactable (crafting tables, etc.) and makes it impossible to use it without re-logging on. -Aidandrums

 * One reason iv'e found for this: When installing mods with the mcpatcher, I installed the Biospheres mod from Risugami, straight from the forums. After unpatching and repatching, my skin was changed from my custom creeper spy skin back to Steve. Once I went to minecraft.net and rechanged my skin it was changed. This is something that hasn't happened to me before, in 1.3.1 and below my skin was almost always an HL2 zombie from PMC, i only had a couple of instances where my skin was changed, usually it was my fault for an invalid skin and my lack of paying attention.
 * We have vanilla minecraft v 3.2 and our skins are not loading, we figured out that by killing oneself it will reset the character sometimes, however it is not working today and it getting mighty annoing!
 * Connections to the server are not working or failing, sometimes when (on a LMP world) I go out of the range of the chunks loaded by my sibling, my skin reverts or unreverts. However, without relaunching the game, my skin seemingly will never switch from Steve. --Wormy14 12:19, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

This also happens when I jump and when I sneak. It get's really annoying and messes me up a lot, most notably when I'm flying and placing blocks in creative. I believe this does not work on windows 7, but it does happen on windows xp service pack 3. Since this doesn't happen on all computers im not sure how to reproduce.

 * I experience this problem many times. I know that the Wiki records my IP but this is not mine, my real computer runs a quad core processor along with graphics that easily allow for Far Cry 2 to have maximum settings and still no lagging from the game. No idea what far cry 2 is? look it up on google, I guarantee you will find it. either way, my actual system is a real computer, not some crappy laptop or netbook or notebook or whatever. I know it's not just my wireless keyboard, because iv'e played with a wired one after my wireless one needed new AAAs for it. Currently runs Windows XP, plan to get windows 7 installed soon. I've had this glitch rarely in other games too. But i think that this is related to the 1.3 update, because i never had this problem until after some updates in 1.2.5 all the way down to when i got it, back in the first version of the full release. Also never had this problem in snapshots for the 1.3 update.

a While helmets are more expensive and generally provide the same defense than boots, they have less durability than boots, thus, their greater cost does not give a real benefit over boots
 * I agree this is a big imbalance. My recommendation for fixing it is to have helmets give protection against fall damage as default (i.e. without Feather Falling enchantment). Not only would this redress the balance, but it is consistent with reality, while having a Minecraft-like attitude because it is impossible to land on your head in game. -- Featherwinglove 14:15, 18 August 2012 (UTC) (P.S.: Still, I like my boots!)

This can occur both when they are within the loaded chunk radius (assuming the max. radius is still 17x17 chunks around the player) or in an unloaded chunk up to two such radii away, but it does not appear to affect tamed wolves more than three such radii away nor does it happen when they are within the same chunk as the player. To test this I have left three groups of three tamed wolves (two adults and one cub in each group) at three different locations, two roughly 90 blocks away from each other, one group closer than the other to where I was exploring a vast cave system, and one group roughly 900 blocks away. The most distant group never teleported to me so the following refers to the two closer groups.

None of my pens has more than 20 of any one type of animal, but villagers will crowd regardless of numbers which I think is because of their AI behaviour with regard to doors, and since (I believe) animals are supposed to crowd around light sources, could this be a factor in what you're seeing, possibly crowding around a light source at night and not "resetting" during the day? Also, I play SSP on normal without mods in case that makes a difference. --KADC - &#34;Be unreasonable.&#34; 19:03, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't have any mods installed but I exaggerated a bit with description. Anyway here is a screenshot: imgur.com/xqSpI. As far as I know animals are attracted by light and grass and my animals have both in whole pen.
 * Looking at your screenshot, with some of the animals spread around normally but most of them crowded along the fence, I wonder if the animal AI is trying to disperse them away from the population centre when a certain density is reached. If this is the case, since villagers are able to open doors, if they had the same "dispersion" AI combined with a check to see how many villagers share the block(s) on the other side of a door, it could solve the villager crowding problem. --KADC - &#34;Be unreasonable.&#34; 17:18, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Animals don't crowd normally but when baby animals follow their parents they push their parents into corners because they're always trying to occupy the same space when it's not possible with more than one block of room. And the parent animals don't push back anymore either after 1.3.1. Without baby animals I don't see any more herding than what the animals' AI should do which prefers grass and light. 94.237.64.32 21:37, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances

a! Most mobs (regular zombies seem to be an exception) have vastly exaggerated reach for their melee attacks, allowing them to damage the player from outside his own melee range and thus making it nigh impossible to kill them without taking damage. Classifying this as a major annoyance because it renders melee combat as a whole pretty broken and unfun. --84.156.16.193 05:14, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Is it possible that you are experiencing a lag-related issue, because I have not observed this. Zombies, zombie pigmen, and endermen need to be within one or two blocks (hard to judge exactly) to hit me. Creepers also seem to be within one or two blocks before they explode (not including "countdown" explosions). Spiders lunge before attacking but the damage occurs when they are either one block away or in the same block as the player (again, hard to judge). -- KADC - &#34;Be unreasonable.&#34; 18:27, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Can't deny the possibility, as I remember it having been that way in Multiplayer for a long time - but now that Singleplayer runs on a local server as well instead of being its own client, it happens there as well. The fact that I don't have this issue with regular zombies doesn't really fit the lag theory though. Furthermore, mobs like spiders and zombie pigmen are hitting me from positions where they really shouldn't be able to hit me; for example, I take damage while standing two blocks higher than the mob I try to attack, all while not being able to hit it back through the block's hitbox. (I hope you get the picture, but if not I could go make a screenshot.) Regular zombies, on the other hand, can't damage me in the same position; unlike the other mobs, they literally need to touch me to damage me, which is, in my opinion, the way it should be. I recall zombies recently having received an AI update (you know, better pathfinding and such), maybe that's why their reach is "normal"? I'm pretty sure most of the offending mobs haven't received any AI updates in a while... But that's just a theory of mine. --84.156.16.193 20:34, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Possibly related to your not being able to hit back even though they can hit you, I am frequently finding that I cannot hit a mob a repeatedly unless it is moving. i.e. After hitting a mob once, further attacks pass through the mob as if it were not there if the mob stands still. -- KADC - &#34;Be unreasonable.&#34; 23:33, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

a sp Cows, while trying to get through a fence gate following a player holding wheat, will jostle each other in front of the fence gate but will not allow other cows to pass through because the passive mob pathfinding algorithm does not have any code that determines whether a mob will give way to another mob in order to let multiple mobs through. Ideally, non-aggressive mobs should form some order when attempting to pass through a gate and both allow other mobs to pass through and give them reasonable space to do so. This annoyance is not limited only to cows, it's applicable to any mob that can be bred and which will follow the player regardless of whether it can be tamed or not.

 * If gates could be "doubled" like doors would also help this issue tremendously, though I agree that an improvement to mob AI would be the best solution. --KADC - Be unreasonable. 14:08, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Well you can actually double gates but of course it doesn't look good and you need redstone to open both at the same time. Open gate doesn't have collision so they don't have anything blocking passage between them. 94.237.64.32 21:37, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

a connected textures are nice but you need to add a method of manually cycling the rotation of a block. the fact that you cannot cycle through texture orientations when placing connected blocks is annoying because the game tries to guess which way to orient the texture based on the way the avatar is facing and not what the blocks around it are doing. this leads to mismatched and really ugly screw ups in the orientation of joined textures.

a! For months I have tried to find out why my minecraft is messed up with the lighting. For some reason whenever it gets dark, the lighting turn blue and very dim so that you can barely see, even with the brightness all the way up. My dad downloaded the minecraft app to his computer and put it on a USB and downloaded it to my computer and it has the same problem, even when it dosen't on his computer. brandonschrand1 4:35 august 19 2012Brandonschrand 21:37, 19 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Finally, someone with my problem! I assume you have a Mac? This really breaks gameplay at night, and if you don't have a bed with you, things get really messed up when you try to see. It only occurs on really old Mac systems (before Intel processors became part of a Mac). I have only assumed that it related to the Java version, because my Java can only go up to 1.5.0_19, due to PPC core incompatibilities. Unless my system just happens to be the perfect (mis)configuration and everything, this seems like something that occurs in the Jar. Prior to 1.7.3, my lighting system worked perfectly. Now, everything lighting-related that occurs after 1.7.3 I can only assume will not function properly, due to such a bug. However, there are some hitches. For one, the majority of the glitches happen only at night. At day, lighting is the same as it should be. Torches light up properly, and the hue is correct. But for nighttime, it is vastly different. On the surface, everything is perfectly lit up and such, and renders torches useless when placed on the surface in direct skylight. This also interferes with caves when mining at night. Caves are supposed to be unaffected by changes of daylight, but unless it is in contact with skylight, where the cave would be lit up like at the surface (even at night), caves will instead turn dark and a hue of moonlight-blue, which is way too dark to see effectively, even with torches. Places like the Nether are also a tad too dark, and the only way to get it to be bright enough to effectively see, is to put brightness to max in-game, and, aside from that, also put the contrast, brightness, and gamma settings for the computer to their maximum settings. Deep underground, the void fog effect does not seem to take place, (on survival) and during a lightning storm, the lightning is able to light up the underground caves! As of recently, you can temporarily bypass the problem with a potion of Night Vision, which makes lighting like daylight. I assume that when you added moonlight, a part of the code was poorly crafted or vague causing blocklight to be gradated while restricted to skylight, and the constant light at the surface was caused by maximum skylight being the same, as if whatever parts of the code that were used were switched around. Maybe when you wrote it, it allowed the hue and maximum light level of skylight to be switched with blocklight, and that of blocklight to be switched to skylight. I could say from this that the surface is fully lit because skylight is to max out surface lighting to the max lighting in caves with the effect present in caves, and cave lighting is dark because it is set to max out features as they should occur on the surface at night with features corresponding to the surface, explaining the features like lightning penetrating deep in the caves, while leaving the Void fog absent. The code seems the only take effect in the block rendering environment, while items are not affected by this issue and are lit as they should be, meaning that mobs and entities, as well as things like maps, they are darken and lighted at the appropriate levels of light as before. The sky also goes from light-blue to black at night descends. Gradual transitions also take place. This is all theorized, and may be incorrect, as I do not know how to code Java. :C --Wormy14 13:25, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
