! su When traveling in a boat, sometimes if you strike the shore too hard while in flowing water (not yet tested with still water), the boat will not break, but instead the player will be instantly killed by fall damage ("[Player name] hit the ground too hard.") --Pteprocks 02:06, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined When standing in water that flows in north/southbound direction and touching a wall at the same time, player loses health. Can potentially kill an idling player. Game says "X suffocated in a wall" when the bug kills you. Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77TAaiNnfyw -- bionik at gmail.com

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 When running the Minecraft_server.exe, despite that the spawn area (16x16x256) is protected you can still place laying logs, but not "standing" vertical logs. Very annoying because after placement they can't be removed. --Fjutte 03:14 2012-07-31 (CET)

undefined When opening the inventory when it has a trapdoor in it and in the hotbar too, the image of the trapdoor in both spaces is kind of buggy. (Only tested in Creative mode) Jones Martins 18:42 30 July 2012

undefined When a sticky piston pushes a piston or sticky piston into a space where it becomes powered, the first piston will not pull back the second piston when retracted. (Happens in all three gamemodes) Caleb Sander 19:05 30 July 2012 (EST)
 * That's expected behaviour. A piston which is extended can never be moved by another piston. Your design should use timed Redstone signals to account for this. --timrem 02:45, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

a! I'm not sure if this is intended or not, so I put it as a major annoyance. Dispensers don't not properly reclaim the water/lava after it has been dispensed. Adding current to the dispenser makes the fluid be dispensed, but when the current is taken away the fluid stays there. You need to add current to the dispenser again for the fluid to be reclaimed. Buttons are actually the only way to reclaim the fluid without switching it on again. Tested in the 1.3.1pre with all types of redstone blocks (levers, pressureplates, wire, repeaters,torches) Cynival 04:17, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

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)
 * I like fix you suggested. Totally support. 93.106.164.34 13:38, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This is intended behavior, and has been clarified by Mogang. -- Debugman18
 * 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)

undefined Potions may last shorter than specified on the label in the inventory. Tested with 7 potion effects (as in this screenshot), the Slowness potion went off when there was 8 seconds left, happened to other potions as well. Bilde2910 14:59, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

undefined Chest lag is perhaps the best short description I can come up with; occasionally when I put items in a chest or remove them or even just rearrange them in the chest the interaction with the chest will reset itself after 3-10 seconds or so; the items I thought I got out of the chest or got out of my inventory will be back where they were before. This can happen with shift-clicking or without it and I've not been able to notice a pattern to this.
