Minecraft Wiki:Issues/Weekly 12w18a

Bug Reporting
This page is for bugs that:
 * 1) Are found in the version of the game specified in the article's title.
 * 2) Are found in an unmodified Minecraft game. If you think a bug you have found in a modded version is not the result of the mods you have added, please be sure to reproduce it in an unmodded game before posting it here.
 * 3) Are reproducible to a certain extent. Please provide a short description on how to reproduce your bug along with system specs if required.

You can read Classifying Bugs for further information on what you should and shouldn't add to this page.

Bug reports should be as concise as possible without anecdotal waffle or your own opinions. We want to keep a clean, easy-to-read list of bugs for the developers to check through. This is not a place to express gameplay ideas or improvements.

Please include your system specs, where appropriate, and instructions on how to reproduce the bug. If the bug caused the game to crash or freeze, there may be a file beginning with the word "crash" in your .minecraft directory containing the crash report. If not, you can follow these instructions to obtain a crash report. Once you have the report, wrap it in the following template:

If you are unsure of an issue, it's good practice to post about it on the |talk page to see whether others can reproduce it.

When adding your bug report:
 * 1) Always prepend it with one or more issue labels.
 * 2) Sign your report with  --~  so that we know who reported the bug.
 * 3) Leave a blank line between each bug report.
 * 4) Do not place bullet points before issue labels. They are reserved for use with comments.

Once you've added a bug report, please keep track of it. Others may post comments underneath your report requesting clarification or more information.

Bug reports that do not provide enough useful information or contain too much opinionated or anecdotal waffle may be subject to removal.

Commenting
When commenting on bug reports:
 * 1) Prepend your comment point with an indented bullet point using the code ":*".
 * 2) Place the comment directly below the bug report without leaving a blank line between them.
 * 3) sign the comment with --~ . This is a deliberate exception to the usual wiki conventions; normally you should only add signatures to content on talk pages.

Please don't let debates about whether something is or is not a bug get out of hand. Similarly, don't clog bug reports with discussions of workarounds or possible fixes. If a bug or annoyance exceeds 10-12 lines of follow-up comments, move the entire follow-up discussion to the talk page and link to the discussion under the original bug.

Page Moderation
Please do not spontaneously delete a bug report unless it is blatant nonsense submitted by an unregistered user. Try to contact the submitter by user-talk first and tell them about your concerns. Almost all active submitters will be co-operative. Always assume good faith.

You may also leave a comment explaining why you feel the bug should be removed, allowing time for others to weigh in on the decision or for the original poster to give additional information. Where possible, removal of a bug should be a group decision, not a decision made by a single individual.

Please make sure issues are given the correct category, type, and priority: issues with blocks go in the Blocks section, issues with mobs go into the Mobs section, and so on. List bugs in order of importance ( !! > ! > undefined). Annoyances go into the Annoyances subsection, with major ones A! before minor ones A. Issues that have been marked as fixed or skipped are moved to the Fixed/Skipped section. Issues that Mojang cannot reproduce should be left in their original place.

If a new version of Minecraft is released, create that page with. Any changes made to this header should also be made to this template.

Issue Labels
Use issue labels to indicate the importance and nature of a bug.

Mandatory issue labels come first, and must be one of the following:
 * !! =  !!  = Critical bug that can crash a Minecraft client or server.
 * ! =  !  = Major bug. Use this tag sparingly; if there is consensus your bug is not major, it will be downgraded.
 * a! =  a!  = Major annoyance. Think very carefully before flagging an annoyance as major.  Is it really more important than most minor bugs?  Use this tag sparingly; if there is consensus your annoyance is not major, it will be downgraded.
 * undefined =  undefined  = Minor bug.
 * a =  a  = Annoyance. Note that this is not the same as feature requests, which is not what this page is for. Remember, leave gameplay ideas/solutions up to the developers.

Please also determine which game mode(s) your issue appears in, and flag it with the appropriate label(s) if any. (Also, note that if, for example, a minor annoyance appears in both single-player and multiplayer, and in both creative and survival modes, you should label it as a, not aspmpsucr.)

Optional labels can be added after mandatory labels.

Labels for indicating that an issue happens only in a particular game mode:
 * sp =  sp </tt> = Single-player.
 * mp =  mp </tt> = Multiplayer.
 * su =  su </tt> = Survival mode.
 * cr =  cr </tt> = Creative mode.

Labels for indicating that an issue is restricted to a particular OS:
 * =  </tt> = Mac OS X
 * =  </tt> = Windows
 * =  </tt> = GNU/Linux

In addition, ? =  ? </tt> can be added to tag an issue that you are unsure of or that the community (on the discussion page) believes requires further vetting. Do not use this label to indicate this-is-not-a-bug. Instead, replace the issue's current label with a or a!. Furthermore, it is inappropriate to use this to flag something you disagree with. Instead, express your opinion in a comment.

Labels that Mojang (not you!) uses: (Please place these tags in front of existing issue labels. Do not remove the existing labels.)
 * f = Issue for which a fix will appear in the next update.
 * n = Not a bug; intended behavior. By definition, this label is inapplicable to annoyances. Annoyances are not bugs.
 * s = Issue that will not be fixed in the next update.
 * u = Issue that Mojang has tested but was unable to reproduce.

To produce these labels, use the following code:  </tt>c </tt> where c is the code of the label you wish to use. (e.g., a for annoyances, etc.)

The default issue type is minor bug; you can produce this label with the shorthand  undefined </tt>.

Further information is available at Classifying Bugs.

Crashing/System
Bugs !! all modes: When I push the button Open Texturepack Folder minecraft crashes. My System is Win 7 64bit, java 7u3 64bit, lwjgl2.8.3. It is a fresh minecraft installation and a newly installed java. I have mentioned this before, so you should test it with java 7u3 and not with 6u30 or so. I think it's a problem with java, but minecraft should work with java 7. I can't and I will not change always the java version, only to become minecraft to work.

!!mp After about 5 minutes of being connected, the server disconnects the client and creates a crash report. After this, the server becomes unresponsive over the network, but still responds to console commands.

undefined ?(Pirated) Installing the snapshot and starting minecraft causes the game to freeze at the Updating Minecraft screen at 95%. Note: I am using MinecraftSP Pirated.
 * a) It's not Notch's fault if you use some shitty little pirated version and it crashes.
 * b) You should be paying for it, stop complaining unless you buy it.
 * c) Due to the server-client integration, a single-player hack will most likely fail. Jaredjeya 19:00, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

undefinedsp When quitting and re-starting a world in single player in fast succession you will get an error: ''Cannot connect to server. Connection refused: connect''.

undefinedsp You can ban yourself from singleplayer, leaving a server instance running and forcing you to remove yourself from the banlist

!!sp When trying to open an old world or when trying to create a new world, the game displays a dirt screen, then "Connecting to server" before displaying "Could not connect to server; Connection refused: connect" --169.204.228.78 17:53, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Gameplay
Bugs ! Enchantment tables cannot be used to enchant tools and weapons.
 * You can still enchant armor. --RichardG867 14:59, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

! Movement is less smooth (its now like 12w17a mp).

!sp Can't use Commands in singleplayer, not even /help

!sp Game doesn't freeze when you hit escape, even in singleplayer.

undefinedsp Creative mode doesn't work in singleplayer. Even with a newly generated world.
 * You have to use a command to change it now. But I doubt this was intended. (Ps, added the [x] label) Mustek 13:57, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

undefined Respawning is glitchy, your view location rapidly switches between your old location and your new location

a! I cannot connect to my own single player world. I guess it is because my computer hasn't port forwarded correctly since 1.1, but this is rediculous, I have to have an internet connection to play single player? --~DaleK 16:32, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The client ZIP contains /two/ parts: a 'server' directory and a 'bin' directory. You have to have copied BOTH into the Minecraft client before you can play, even offline. Mojang is restructuring the game like this so that modders only have to make changes once, rather than once for the client version and again for the server version.
 * I know that, it appears my issue was quitting whilst generating the world, I had to delete it, and start a new world for it to work. --~DaleK 17:25, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

a! The enchanting system has always, and continues to be frustratingly unfair. sometimes producing Efficiency III when a level 50 enchant is used. Considering you need to kill NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE zombies/creepers etc, to get to Level 50, users are naturally in consensus that, to quote Yahtzee Croshaw, the ratio of difficulty to find versus actual usefulness is completely arbitrary. While we respect the mystique Mojang have tried to create about enchanting, the numbers need serious review. Kizzycocoa
 * There is hardly a consensus regarding this. I think the enchanting system is pretty well balanced. It would be much less fun if it were any less random. The only thing I would like changed is the ease of picking the desired enchantment level, so you don't have to spend 15 minutes trying to get a specific level. Maybe a slider or something. But hardly a Major Annoyance, there are tons of real bugs that have yet to be fixed. Therefore, demoting this from Major Annoyance to Annoyance. --Kcin 15:10, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Repromoting. consensus has been reached many times that the enchanting system sucks. Please read past known bug talk pages.
 * This is a long standing issue. I respectfully ask that in future, you take issues to the talk page and check previous talk pages, before asserting your own opinions on the entire community. --Kizzycocoa 19:11, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed (I readded this issue). I can't stand enchanting being underpowered. I got silk touch I and nothing else on a level 50 diamond axe, which is unacceptable. <font color="#cccc00">C <font color="#00aaaa">ali <font color="#0000aa">nou - talk × contribs » 19:28, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

a It is possible to ban, IP ban (127.0.0.1) or kick yourself in singleplayer.
 * If you did this, you can unban yourself by removing the "banned-players.txt" or "banned-ips.txt" files in the "server" folder in ".minecraft". <font color="#cccc00">C <font color="#00aaaa">ali <font color="#0000aa">nou - talk × contribs » 19:28, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

World Generator
Bugs ! The Nether and The End will not generate when you enter them for the first time. Reconnecting will sometimes generate the world.
 * The Nether is completely empty and will not generate. Entered the portal in Creative mode. The client/server crashed as well when I fell out of the world and respawned, "Internal server error". The world will still not generate when I'm there.
 * Mind posting the crashlog, as I'm not getting this. Chunks load very slow in the nether though. Mustek 14:37, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems like the worlds don't load when you enter a portal. It does load after you disconnect and reconnect. Mustek 14:39, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Reconnecting generated for me aswell. --31.185.24.29 14:50, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * On the other hand reconnecting will not to generate The End on my side. 16:01, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I checked, and it spawns you away from the island at times, you have to fly to the end, if you are in creative mode. --~DaleK 17:06, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Language/Text Files
Bugs

a If you set the language to Espanol (Mexico) and click Opciones then Controles, the game crashes. This bug has existed since languages were first implemented. NetherrackCreeper (talk) 16:40, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances

a The single player text is misleading, as you are now actually hosting a Minecraft server. Singleplayer should now say something along the lines of Host server and Multiplayer should say Join Server. NetherrackCreeper (talk) 16:40, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
