Please stop putting "bug fixes" in the "additions summary"
A bug fix is not an addition, it's not even a change to the gameplay. The "additions summary" table is not supposed to justify the time they spent developing minecraft every week or anything, it's a change list and for god's sake make it be so by removing the annoying "a few bug fixes" mentions. 79.97.62.216 20:57, 4 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Bug fixes are supposed to be there, where else are we going to find them? I think we would all rather know what bugs are fixed with each update. BaroqueWolf 16:40, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Can clear entire hotbar with one click in Creative (new in 12w23a/b)
This doesn't seem to be in the list of 12w23b changes yet. When you shiftclick on the Red Cross in the creative entire, it clears your inventory and hotbar. --18:45, 11 June 2012 (UTC)18:45, 11 June 2012 (UTC)~


 * Well it hasn't been updated in awhile so it might update soon. MaryTheTiger 23:12, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Buckets
Buckets don't seem to work well with lava, right clicking lava with an empty bucket removes the source but the bucket stays empty. 86.81.124.236 14:40, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * In Creative mode, this is intentional; it makes it easier to remove many lava/water source blocks, and you have an infinite supply of lava and water buckets anyway. -- Orthotope 19:47, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Experience has never been "exponential"
I don't know if this is an error on Mojang's part or some wiki editor, but experience has never been "exponential" either "slightly" or otherwise. In the pre-12w22a system the differential xp was linear and the cumulative xp was consequently quadratic. I have no hard stats to go by for 12w22a, but it sounds like the differential xp was constant (17 xp) and the cumulative xp was consequently linear. In the post-12w23a system the differential xp is constant for the first 16 levels, then it becomes roughly linear (it actually fluctuates a bit). This makes the cumulative xp roughly quadratic (the slight fluctuations prevent it from being perfectly fit by a polynomial).

None of these systems are exponential. They are nowhere NEAR exponential. An exponential case would be where you have to multiply the past level's xp by some fixed number to find the next levels xp (either differential or cumulative, the derivative of an exponential is an exponential). An example would be where that number is 2 and the amount of xp required to level up doubles every time. This number could be less than 2, or even less than 1, but the bottom line is that the required xp grows *very* fast in the limit of large levels.

Constant is "order 0", linear is "order 1", quadratic is "order 2", and so on. Exponential technically has infinite order. Granted there are slow growing functions, oscillating functions, and so on that have infinite order, but exponentials are generally considered one of the fastest growing functions (from the perspective of limiting behavior). So, I think its worth noting that the minecraft case is quadratic, not exponential, since quadratic is very slow-growing in comparison when it comes to limiting behavior.

Dove 23:01, 14 June 2012 (UTC)


 * You do realize that a quadratic function is an exponential function, right? Bluemilkman 23:51, 21 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Nope. x2 is quadratic (or, more generally, polynomial), 2x is exponential; they are very different terms. -- Orthotope 07:27, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

The /tp command in snapshot 12w24a new features
The New snapshot features it says that there is a new /tp command that allows teleporting between players. As far as I know, that command has always existed, and it shouldn't be displayed as a new feature. Am I just being crazy? Because I am sure it is NOT new, I use it on my vanilla server...

Lag in 12w25a
Anyone notice a bit of lag in the newest snapshot (12w25a)? Spiders were glitching and hitting me and iron doors would only open for a split second. I downgraded back to the previous one and it was gone. Bluemilkman 19:40, 21 June 2012 (UTC)


 * It seems like it has to do with the new method of garbage collection meant to lower overall memory usage. It was messing with almost everything that has a timed nature. Redstone circuits, doors, leaf block decay, mob attacks/movement. Current solution seems to be to move back down to 12w24a --Sinthrill 23:18, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Arrows fired out a bow in creative...
In previous versions when you were in creative mode with no arrows and fired a bow, the arrows would fire, but you couldn't collect them after. Now with 12w25a you can "collect" them, though they just get removed from the world and they don't go into your inventory. --76.4.89.161 22:34, 21 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Possible bug or intended “cleanup” feature? MaryTheTiger 22:38, 21 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Given that there was previously no way to remove the arrows, I'd vote for "cleanup". Not even going into survival would pick them up.  You'd need to wait for them to despawn, which can cause issues depending on where/what they hit (seeing as they activate wooden pressure plates and tripwires). --76.4.89.161 23:42, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

12w25a cannot confirm bugs
I cannot confirm these bugs: LB 23:57, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * You can only select Adventure Mode game in LAN mode.
 * Mobs and entities are frozen causing the game mostly unplayable.


 * Its not that the mobs freeze, it's that they lag for a brief moment, making combat a difficult endeavor even for people with full diamond, etc. With the debug screen up you will notice that mobs and, for the most part, anything you do will lag for a second when the current memory usage drops. Sinthrill 23:20, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Recent Snapshot Prevents "The End" Expansion
I think this was changed in 12w25a, not quite sure if this is a bug or an intentional limit.

Explanation: In the end, no "new" chunks can be created, preventing builds from expanding beyond the original width and height of The End.

Some forum posts show users complaining about how much harder it will be to create an efficient Endermen farm if they can't build outwards from the original "island". Instead, players would need to flood the island first.

Mainly what I'd like to figure out is first, is this a bug or a bug-fix/intentional change? After that, It should be added to the changelog if appropriate. 98.202.68.30 22:34, 24 June 2012 (UTC) Cavemaneca

Skeletons can shoot through stairs
I have windows in my skeleton spawner room made from four stair blocks all placed at 90&deg; to each other to make a window that is one block square made up of the four stair block gaps. I just tried out the new snapshot (the first time I have tried a snapshot) and the skeletons in the spawner room can now shoot me as I walk past the windows! I haven't tried my map on the old server so I don't know if this is because of the server heritage of the new code. Skeletons are also pushing each other through walls which I have seen in server mode so it may be so. PhilHibbs 21:14, 25 June 2012 (UTC)


 * This isn't a bug, stair blocks now have a hitbox the correct shape, and the gap is no longer being blocked by vision or projectiles. 98.202.68.30 15:57, 4 July 2012 (UTC)Cavemaneca

 * Force an update to Minecraft to make sure you have Vanilla 1.2.5
 * Close Minecraft completely
 * Download minecraft.jar and replace the one in %AppData%/.minecraft/bin/ with it
 * Run Minecraft

Endermen don't spawn
I created an Endermen farm in 1.2.5 that is 150 blocks away from the giant island in the end which is optimal distance away for them to spawn in 1.2.5 perfectly. Although in the latest snapshot (12w27a) they don't spawn at all. There are no torches and they just don't work.


 * You have to be 32 blocks away from where you want mobs to spawn. (You also have to figure diagonal block distance as well, since air counts as a block.) Iyeru 00:02, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

EDIT: I am 150 blocks away from the closest spawning area as well the spawning area for the endermen is 42 blocks up as they will drop down for an XP drop farm. I do not know how to 'reply' so, if anyone can tell me. That'd be awesome! Xearta 00:46, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The latest weekly might not have them spawning elsewhere due to a new structure outside of the end area. (And no generating chunks.) Iyeru 19:48, 14 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Quote, originally posted by Iyeru: "You have to be 32 blocks away from where you want mobs to spawn." -No, Its an Average of 24 Blocks.

No idea what this thing is, I saw two sand blocks were added to the snapshop 12w22a (I am randomly testing it) and I found this structure. I tried searching online for what it was but found nothing. Sorry if it's already been spoken about but I found nothing. Here are a few images.

The bug with redstone lamps is not specific to 12w27a
Exactly what the subject says. it happens in 1.2.5, and therefore should no be included on the new bugs for 12w27a --98.117.14.127 19:38, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Where is 12w29a?
12w29a Is not here is it? When will it come? Well, Weekly Snapshots cant always be every week. maybe we are working on MC 1.2. X-Box 360 Edition (Or PC Equivalent 1.8.2) Also, I Looked in the Beta History Page, and found that there is no Beta 1.8.2. Its probably referring to the "Sound Update". Ah well.

New Bug?
Blocks are randomly changing into other blocks, sometimes blocks that don't even exist. Like stairs would turn into inverted stairs [the stairs would go invisible, and the empty space that should be in the stair block would be solid.] Stairs turning into half-slabs also. And its randomly occurring to blocks I have placed.

Using the latest "1.3 Pre-release" version.

Minecraft Crash
This bug was from version 12w26a or something like that. When i was playing the version 1.3 Pre-release in survival mode, then Minecraft crashes for no reason.--94.112.75.199 08:52, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Minor Annoyance...
I'm not sure if this has even been touched on in the Known Bugs for v1.3 pre-release, but I'm going to talk about this here just to see.

There is a minor, but annoying, bug/issue that occurs when placing certain blocks (especially all stair types). I will add a couple of image links so that they are available to someone that is far more capable in using the current bug tracking system that is in place.

I apologize in advanced. I'm far from noob, it's just that I absolutely refuse to read through hordes of off-putting text. I tried and failed... miserably.

With that said, here are the images of the graphical bug.

http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/607/20120729195355.png

http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/6418/20120729153502.png

As you can see, the blocks become distorted graphically. Sometimes they change direction or block type. However, this is limited to placing stairs beside their parent block (placing a cobblestone stair will sometimes graphically distort surrounding cobblestone stairs by making them look like cobblestone blocks). This IS only graphical because either destroying or placing a block nearby will make it appear normal again.

Anyway, if this has already been mentioned, I'm sorry for getting in the way. If not, then maybe someone would be kind enough to make it known on the Known Bugs page.

1.3.1 Pre1 CHangelog
It is stated as a notable bug that boats don't drop their item when destroyed, however they probably do not know that the boat item only drops when destroyed by hand. If crashed, boats still drop sticks and planks

12w32a adds game rules
Inside the level.dat file a new compound tag "GameRules" was added. Inside that tag are 6 strings (included default values). These can be changed in-game with the new /gamerule command: /gamerule

As listed above, new blocks or items like the Beacon Block, can be a "DANGER" to your worlds. I Highly Sagest that you keep back ups of your worlds. You never know when the next up date might ruin every thing. and some up dates like this one, I don't like because it can be a "DANGER" If not "GRAVE DANGER" to your world unfortunately. However, its possible to save your world by forcing a update to your minecraft.jar and hopefully, save you world. I have had a few incidents like listed above. however thankfully I had back ups. oh 75.185.172.255, Who ever you are, Very very Sorry about what happened to your world. I am sorry for your loss.

New map grid too small! (12w34a)
In snapshot 12w34a the maps are given a grid, predefining size/edges so that people can make maps which share edges easier... However, the grid zooms in WAY too close for maps to be useful anymore; I think it's 1-to-1 scale, as opposed to 1-to-8. Now, I though 1-to-8 was a little far... but it's way too small(area) to justify the 4 iron and 1 redstone put into making these things now, am I right? 108.2.139.181 16:31, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Zombies and skeletons with helmets don't burn in daylight.
I think this should be added, but since I'm new here I'd rather let someone more experienced confirm and add it. Note: Also, their helmets apparently can fall off, at which point they take damage like normal. Also, maps can be put in the new item frames, and other maps will then show a green arrow where it is.

Item Frames on servers... "Internal Server Error"
I've been testing the 12w34a snapshot, especially one of my favorite new feature item frames! However when I started running the server on my computer to test with friends, I tried placing an Item Frame and get "Internal Server Error". This doesn't crash/corrupt the world like the "WIP Block" can, but it kicks me and doesn't let me place the frame. RedStoner 04:43, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Maps Blank Themselves
12w34a on a map created in 1.3, the following caused maps to blank out one-by-one: created a map in my house, started flying west, went about eight maps out, and by the last one, maps 1 through three had been blanked out. 67.188.245.255 05:22, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Zombies Carrying Doors
I was on a Superflat world in Creative mode in 12w34b, and Zombies were attacking a village.

Mob grinders now give less XP when you farm them continuously
Could I get a developer (or someone who's in the know) to explain the above change some more for me?

- How much XP are we able gain from an XP farm before the XP dries up?

- How long must we wait before the XP returns (if it does return)?

- Does the XP return all at once or slowly over time?

- Does the game track XP from the spawners individually, by mob type, or globally?

now in the f3 debug screen item "f: [0<n<3]" has changed to "f: [0<n<3] / [-180<n<180]" as of 12w34a [proven] it now shows the exact direction the player is looking in, in degrees, relative to [north?]Jack1197 02:05, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Mobs killed with items equipped fail to drop loot.
Now that, "Zombies, Skeletons and Zombie Pigmen sometimes spawn wearing equipment including enchanted weapons and any type of armor, depending on the difficulty level." I've a question on how their drops work.

- I play on hardcore mode and of the hundreds of these special mobs with equipped equipment I've dispatched, only a few times have I received an item, most of the time nothing special drops. Is this normal?

- If I see a Zombie in a full set of armor (any type), does it have all four pieces or just one of them? I cant tell, because nothing drops when I kill them (have I said that before?)

- If I see a Skeleton with a glowing bow why doesn't it drop when I kill him? (triple redundant for redundancy's sake)

My chests are temperamental and fail to swap items. (12w34b)
When I open a chest and swap some items in and out; I see those changes and close it and move on. When I open my inventory or use an item, all those items I've taken out and those put in are back to where they were before. (kind of like a time warp)

it happens most when I have a desperate need to swap items out, and the more desperate I am to swap those items the more times I have to try again before it takes. Hmmm, It sounds like they have a "critical need detector" installed.

Anyone else having this issue? Buzzaro 00:07, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Sounds like a lag issue. Worldofminecraft 22:14, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

I went back to the 1.3.2 version to test if I could recreate this issue, but I can not; it only happens in 12w34b and only started happening with the 12w34ish updates. Buzzaro 07:36, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

More dungeon loot?
i just went on a seed that has 4 dungeons right below spawn, none of them had anything different than dungeons before 12w36a. is there just new RARE dungeon loot, or what? --98.117.24.97 22:30, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Carrots and potatoes in Jungles
There is absolutely no evidence that potatoes and carrots grow in jungles. Jeb said that they will grow in villages or in jungles, and they now grow in villages. No one has shown any pictures of jungle potatoes/carrots. That note should be deleted because there is no proof about them as of yet. 212.226.42.174 19:41, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Agreed I haven't seen one at all in a jungle. 98.159.27.28 23:34, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Zombie texture change?
The last bullet says "The Zombie and Zombie Pigman models and textures have changed (breaking old texture packs)", but after taking a look at them, there doesn't seem to be any difference. Am I missing something?


 * What has happened, is that the model has expanded to use a much larger image, (probably because there will be more skin segments later.) This means that pigzombie and zombie.png had to change to accommodate this (add a bunch of transparent space.) You will not notice an actual difference in game unless you use a texture pack designed for an older version (because they will not have added this extra space,) in which case the texture will be horribly misaligned.

Speed potion
Has it been noted anywhere that in 12w36a that most mobs AI takes advantage of speed potions? ZeCraftyMiner 18:33, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

3 "mystery" Textures added in 12w37a
I noticed that there are 3 new textures on the left of items.png, Anyone know what they are or are intended for? (One is a brown oval on top of a black square, one a couple of brown circles side by side, and the other... brown shoes maybe?) Cultist O 16:52, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I noticed those too. I'm pretty sure they are some sort of helmet top, knee pads, and shoe linings for leather armor "layers". These textures stay the same while the rest of the armor is dyed a different color. -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  17:02, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Strange Texture Files?
I noticed these in the item files:

The top bit that got cut off is part of the wooden hoe, and the bottom two look like shoes and gloves. Does anybody know what they're supposed to be? (ignore the very top one) yoshidude56 02:19, 14 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Those are the normal leather layer on leather armor. The texture was added to prevent confusion with dyed leather armor. For example, dyed white leather looks like iron armor. The top one I think is on the helmet, the middle is kneepads on the pants and I think the last one is on the bottom of the shoes.Stpehen 03:04, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

What idiot put you cannot place paintings that are not 1x2 or 1x1 in 12w34a in the 12w37a bugs list?!


 * You can't.

Ocelots can spawn with two cubs
When in creative mode, using an ocelot spawn egg has a chance to spawn one ocelot with two cubs. Not shure if this can also naturally occur in jungle biomes. Might be worth adding to the changelog though.
