Crashing/System
Bugs

! sp Since the single player server update (12w18a ahead) single player is unplayable at low-end computers (32-bit processors and less than 2 GB of RAM which would be playable at 20 fps in previous versions). I'm able to play for at most 10 minutes before world stops responding. --Manuelschi 21:33, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This could be related to the bug above. --Mattrition 10:52, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * No, this is due having a computer not powerful enough to host a server. --Manuelschi 17:58, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

! sp ? Map changes are not saved when you quit --Isle 16:58, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This clearly doesn't happen all the time because it hasn't happened to me yet. Anyone else had this? --Mattrition 12:11, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Not on my world map, no. Haven't experimented with the map item yet. Would the original poster mind clarifying which was meant? --82.69.54.207 15:32, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh I see. I immediately thought it meant world changes, but the term map is not really used in that context. --Mattrition 16:09, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * So I crafted a map, had a little walk around with it for a bit and then quit the world. On relog and viewing the map it had to reload its picture again but the changes were saved. Not sure what the behaviour was before. Did maps always have to reload their picture after quitting? --Mattrition 16:16, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I ment world changes. if you explore out somewhere and then quit right away the new parts will be missing if you look at it with an eternal world viewer. it also causes the player to spawn in nothing when you come back. --Isle 19:14, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I recognized that sometimes destroyed Farmland turns back to farmland by itself. --Kranseier 15:53, 5 June 2012 (UTC)kranseier

Annoyances

Fixed/Skipped

f !!AWT on SMP error regardless of nogui flag. Takes about five minutes to happen, then the server becomes unresponsive.

undefined
 * Note, prior to 12w16a, SMP worked fine on the same platform. --Inertia
 * Thanks, fixed. /jeb_

f !!Minecraft crashes with "Internal Server Error" when attempting to destroy an Ender Crystal with an exploding bed. When relogged, the crystal is gone and the bed is dropped as an item. A similar situation occurs with TNT. It explodes then locks up the world. Upon relogging the crystal is gone.
 * Can you post a crash report if you can find one? --Mattrition 10:52, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

f ! A bug occurs that causes Minecraft to use up more memory - might be a memory leak. Evidence:
 * Can confirm. Allocated memory doesnt decrease while switching worlds. --Manuelschi 19:00, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes there was a memory leak. Fixed it, I hope! /jeb_

f x Keybinding for reloading chunks ("F") activates even if "F" is bound to another key. --Logician 02:49, 1 June 2012 (UTC) (Edited for conciseness by author.)
 * (Merged Duplicate) The world is re-rendered every time inventory is opened. --Txtsd 12:35, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Is your inventory key 'F' by any chance? - Mustek 12:48, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would explain it, except Fog Distance was remapped to F3+F, so it's still a bug. This doesn't happen in 1.2.5 --Txtsd 12:56, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It's confirmed as a bug by Jeb in this tweet. -- M u s t e k  13:09, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Gameplay
Bugs

! Superflat is still a slime hell: slimes spawn in huge numbers, stopping other hostile mobs from appearing. The only workaround is changing difficulty to peaceful, but this is not possible if you're testing hostile mob behaviour or in hardcore. Lvxferre 21:49, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * An easy way to fix that would be to change to ground level in superflat to 64. Or add options how the world should generate (height, blocktype). --Panda4994 14:32, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Anything above y=40 would do the trick, but I think this fix would annoy the ones who like superflat for huge buildings. IMHO, the "cleanest" solutions would be reduce slime chunks to 1/100 instead 1/10 OR their max spawning height from y=40 to y=4 when in Superflat. Lvxferre 22:19, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Or make max slime amount lower than max monster amount. -93.106.181.240 08:29, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Using TNT-Cannons or entering the end from a self placed portal sometimes kicks the player with the message "You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)". It can even happen to OPs or in single player. You can get kicked from your single player world! There should at least be an option to turn it off in the server.properties.

undefined If you are flying when you go into the end portal, you get disconnected from the server with the message "You moved too quickly :( (Hacking?)".--Flapjacksmike 21:08, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This has carried over from previous versions. MarioLuigi2010 18:34, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined You can't use an item with right-click if you are looking directly at a mob.
 * Also, you can't eat when looking directly at an animal (tested with bread and cows). That is odd since cows don't eat bread. 91.144.213.35 15:18, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Changed the bug report to be more general. I can't use a bow when looking at animals, so I think you generally can't use items when looking directly at them. --Mattrition 16:54, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This happens in creative mode, too. --Thebombzen 00:27, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined After dying, when you respawn you'll see chunk errors for some seconds and then respawn as expected. --Mkbu95 00:09, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When aiming a bow about a block's height above a small or medium slime, the arrow will drop to the ground, causing no damage to the slime. --Flapjacksmike 16:20, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This is very reproducible if you aim your bow about a block above a small or medium slime. The charge on the bow makes no difference to the reproducibility. Updating the report to reflect this. Also, I'm not certain, but I think the issue might be purely graphical. I have managed to hit a slime a few more blocks away by reproducing this with a closer one. --Mattrition 17:46, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Rain doesn't put out fires, at least the fires from thunder that was noticed in an extreme hills biome. --MtDRelapse 3:02, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is interesting, because rain doesn't make any sound or produce particles when it meets ground in this biome (bugs are mentioned further down the page). It seems like the rain seems to just pass straight through. --Mattrition 14:11, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined If you get disconnected from the server while entering the end, you will spawn in the void when you re-enter the world. (This can occur, for example, when you fly into the end portal) --Flapjacksmike 21:11, 31 May 2012 (UCT)
 * This has carried over from previous versions. You spawn in the same coordinates you were at in the overworld, instead of on the obsidian blocks. MarioLuigi2010 18:34, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined ? Every time I fire an arrow, it appears in mid-air, drops to the ground and sticks there, but then it suddenly moves to where I shot at. I have noticed this in a superflat, creative world. --109.70.151.47 16:11, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I was not able to reproduce this, however, it has happened to me before. MarioLuigi2010 18:34, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Has it happened on this particular snapshot to you? --Mattrition 10:48, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When opening an iron door with a button and to go through it, if you are not fast enough you "glitch" in to the wall. The deathscreen says in german "Playername wurde lebendig begraben" - i dont know what it says in english - maybe "buried alive". --Kranseier 20:10, 3 June 2012 (UTC)kranseier

undefined According to the enchantment info at the bottom of the enchanting page, http://pernsteiner.org/minecraft/enchant_snapshot/, it is impossible to get Sharpness V on anything but a gold sword, and with a gold sword it has a 0.2% chance of happening. Same goes for efficiency V. I think this is a bug. Thebombzen 22:59, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Doesn't sound like a bug to me. It means you need to use a relatively useless tool to gain a very impressive enchantment. Just a quirk of the system and no more than an annoyance to some people. --Mattrition 13:59, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

undefinedsp Items can be duped due to a exploit in world saving. Steps to reproduce: drop an item or stack, press ESC to force save, go back to the main menu, join the world you were playing, pick up the item, and then press ALT+F4 (Windows) or any combination to force close the application. Go back to your world and you'll have a item on your inventory and the same item dropped. This exploit works for 1.2.x. A possible fix could involve handling unexpected closing. This only works in SP. Sorry if this not fit in this list. --Mkbu95 23:59, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

! When in SMP, using the 3x3 loop of powered rails doesn't work well for me. I gain no momentum beyond the speed limit and so the minecart travels only about 50 blocks. SSP is without problem. 07:59, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances

a! Emerald Ore only generates in Extreme Hills/Extreme Hills Edge biomes. Once this gets released for SMP people are going to fight over the land/chunks, causing a lot of headache for the poor server admins.
 * As stated by Jeb, emerald ore is supposed to be super rare, as the primary resource of it is through selling to NPCs. They're just there as a little extra. -- Mustek  14:14, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This Annoyance report should not even exist, people should stop complaining about everything. This is a bug page.

a! Trading is sometimes underpowered. Buying 3 glowstone with 1 emerald just doesn't sound right. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 11:53, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Are these Glowstone blocks or Glowstone dust ? Missingno 26 13:19, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Blocks
 * So I don't think it's underpowered, I think it's overpowered ! Missingno 26 15:25, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Overpowered?!?! Are you serious? 3 glowstone blocks are almost nothing, it's much better to take a minimal risk and mine them in the Nether. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 19:40, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I think it's just the fact of being able to get Glowstone without risking you life in the Nether that annoy me ... Missingno 26 19:55, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, glowstone is one of the most valuable thing in most servers. Just after diamonds. 1 Emerald, however, IS nothing at all.
 * Glowstone isn't that risky to mine in the Nether... use dirt/cobble pillars; it doesn't have much value (not much possible uses, like gold). However, emeralds are rare and cost a lot of resources sometimes. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 09:59, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Glowstone are tricky to get and not so frequent, they are very useful and Emerald are not even supposed to be mined, the ores are here for little extra, 1 emerald = 3 glowstones IS overpower. I don't know what you are talking about and everyone seems to be with me on that.
 * Apart from glowstone, trading is still unbalanced. Another example: They sell one emerald for 4 diamonds, whereas they sell 3 loaf of bread for one emerald. --91.60.242.76 10:32, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

a! Mining coal gives a seemingly disproportionate amount of EXP as opposed to, for example, mining diamond or emerald. This, the size of normal coal veins, and their frequency to generate leads to extreme amounts of level gains in very little time.
 * Certainly it is a feature, because I often ignore coal ores when I don't need them. Seems to be a way to make mining more attractive. By the way, you also get EXP for putting out smelted items from your oven. Even though I admit you are right: coal ores spawn too many EXP. Sorry for my English --91.49.40.83 05:12, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, this was clearly intended, so its more if an annoyance than a bug. --Mattrition 11:01, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

a! Ender dragon gives over 1200 levels upon death. Which means over 40 max levels enchantments, equivalent to 5 full sets of armor and tools. WAY overpowered for what it takes to defeat the dragon.

a! After generating a world with normal or large biomes, with the chest and cheats on, seeds stop being generated, and walking off makes you fall into the void. Instead of dying in the void, you fall for eternity. You cannot see the seed in debug, and the only way to make more chunks generate, you have to change the render distance. Not tested in multiplayer. (P.S. The generator is broken in other ways, too. I spawned in an extreme hill biome with an ocean under a floating island.)
 * That is because SP is now a server. If you have a slow computer, say, under 2-3GB of RAM, you will experience things like this. Just exit your world and go back, or if that doesn't work, restart Minecraft. MarioLuigi2010 18:49, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

a Sometimes with or without cheats, the game acts like a laggy server. I can press T and talk and sometimes I wasn't able to shoot arrows from a bow and blocks I'd break reappear, this only happened to me once while I was playing a custom map. dalolman - Punch trees, get wood 00:00, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is mostly because the game IS a (laggy) server now; even in single player! I experienced those things also, especially while fighting mobs where timing is critical, but also with other items and interactions (fishing for example). This was much more worse before on servers (server- and client-side), but not in single player because before single player was not based on a local server like now. I expect they will fix this until the next major release since it is much better as it was before in multiplayer already.
 * This isn't a bug report. It's more of a complaint about lag. Downgrading to annoyance, because its true that, really, a singleplayer local server shouldn't produce notable lag at all. --Mattrition 11:36, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

a Ghast fireballs can destroy nether portals, trapping players in the nether if they didn't bring a flint and steel with them. It doesn't destroy the obsidian frame, just the purple portals. --Thebombzen 19:03, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I think that's intended behavior in the fact that you can get out, by putting all of your items in your chest and dying. Plus, ghasts can reactivate your portal if the fire from the fireball gets in the frame. Next time though, bring a flint ant steel! :) Justcool393 22:11, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * A few things. One, this behavior doesn't exist in Minecraft 1.2.5. That's why I think it's a bug. Two, it shouldn't be intended that the only way out is dying. I have 193 levels that I don't want to lose. I also don't happen to have a chest or an ender chest on me. Third, the ghast that deactivated the portal flew off. I don't want to sit around while waiting for a ghast to come back, because sitting around is boring. --Thebombzen 22:55, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with Justcool393, perhaps it was a bug in 1.2.5 that it didn't work all the time but it certainly worked that way in previous versions. Go Ghast hunting and get one to relight your portal. Unless anyone else thinks it is a bug, I vote to remove. -- Lucifer_LLS 02:17, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a behavior and have been there since the Nether have been added. Also, it should works in 1.2.5 and I would not change it.
 * Downgraded to an annoyance due to consensus opinion. I agree that this is actually the normal behaviour for Minecraft. The abnormal behaviour was when fireballs could not disable the portal. But lets not remove it because it is clearly annoying for some. --Mattrition 10:41, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

a I think that "buying" diamond tools/diamonds is a bit too overpowered. I'd suggest making the villagers ONLY sell gold and iron tools. Stone and wood isn't something to waste emeralds on.. - KrisEike
 * It is fine in my opinion, it should stay, maybe diamond tools should be a tad more expensive. <font color="#cccc00">C <font color="#00aaaa">ali <font color="#0000aa">nou - talk × contribs » 20:00, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

a Enchanting is way too overpowered, giving Fortune 3 + 2 more enchantments when spending 30 levels. - KrisEike
 * Moving discussion to talk page. Significant gripes include:
 * 'Underpowered'
 * 'Overpowered'
 * '[Still] too random'
 * 'Loss of previously available high level enchantments'
 * 'Too easy to farm XP levels, given that XP farms are generally geared up for the old 50-level system'

a When trading a diamond sword with a villager you'll get an enchanted version. When putting this enchanted version back in the trading slot and adding the emeralds required, you can trade. However you'll get the same sword back, but you'll lose your emeralds. --Roenmane

a Player can be spawned in the water.

a Book and Quill - Can't insert blank spaces into book. Doesn't seem to be a way to indent text. Hitting Enter does not create a new line if there is no text on the current one. Can't indent text by pressing the tab button or spacebar.
 * Current workaround: paste "§r" before attempting to indent, and also before hitting enter on blank lines. This is the reset formatting code, and will not show up in the text. Other formatting codes can also be used for this purpose. --WolfieMario 23:17, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

a Only 15 Bookshelves are needed to get the max level of 30, Should be changed in line with max level to keep it at 30 bookshelves -hghgnghd
 * Seeing as how bookshelves now cost three lether, too (one for each book), I think the total cost to set up a full enchantment table is good. It gives the player a lot more control over how you want to place them. With 30 bookshelves you hardly have anything to work with. 30 would be fine though, if the radius was increased. 91.144.213.35 11:05, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the number of bookshelves for the max level should be the same as before (30 as stated by hghgnghd), but a bigger radius isn't a bad idea, tho.

a Weird boats behaviour. --194.85.161.2 10:50, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Please provide more information. This is a very unhelpful report and will be removed if you don't --Mattrition 11:01, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The angle of rotation is discrete. Sometimes empty boat pops one block up and floats in the air. --194.85.161.2 15:17, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

a Problem viewing all whitelisted players. I can type "/whitelist list" and see 14 of about 19 players. I've tried "/whitelist list 2", but it just ignores the 2 and lists the same players. Not sure how to view all of them. Keithicus420 05:37, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I think thats a bug not annoyance Darkmtbg2 09:29, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

a Sending a 1-tick pulse to a sticky piston results in unreliable behaviour. The block attached to the piston will randomly disappear and reappear.

a It seems that getting almost four levels for a stack of items smelted is too much. It's fine for iron or gold (sort of), but you can get a stack of clay extremely easily with about two clay deposits. Maybe this should be changed so more valuable smeltables give more experience and easy to get smeltables give less (e.g. gold and iron give more than sand and clay). Thebombzen 22:59, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

a Its hard to swim upwards while drowning in water there arent source block probaly because of the knock back you get by drowing Darkmtbg2 14:36, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This isn't a bug. It's been that way since drowning was added to the game. MarioLuigi2010 18:49, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This is right, but it should be fixed (or changed to look more natural).

a XP Orbs are quite useless now that pretty much everything gives XP. Couldn't Xp just be directly given to the player killing a mob or mining ores? Orbs just happens to be everywhere.
 * I'm not sure you should put this in the Known Bugs Section, but you are kind of right. I would directly gives Experience to the player doing some EXP giving actions and only keep EXP Orbs droping on players' death.
 * I think XP Orbs should stay, at least from mob kill. It make designing XP grinders a little more challenging, since you need to manage a way for the XP to get to you. It make mob hunting more challenging to, since you have to go get your XP when you land a bow kill. Directly dividing the XP of the Ender Dragon among all players in the End would be nice, though.132.203.171.174 18:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm with you in the way It was OK when Ores and Smelting didn't give XP Orbs. But it would make more sense to give the XP to the player that killed the mob (Or ultimately to give XP to everyone that damaged the said mob, but it's likely never gonna happen).
 * I think EXP Orbs should only be dropped when players dies.

Fixed/Skipped

f !! After some minutes of gameplay, any spawned mobs will freeze, entities like minecarts and boats will disappear, i am unable to fire arrows or throw potions, breaked blocks will not be dropped as a resource, i cannot use or open chests, workbenches, ect., priming TNT will make the block disappear, and mobs will no longer spawn. In general, entities are erased from the game.
 * It happened with me when I've put Ender Crystal on fire with enchanted bow. After world reload, entities have unfrozen. --IntKecsk 09:46, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * P.S. there also was a crash report, appearing to be related to this error: undefined

f ! I cannot skip the end credits after leaving The End and the credits never stop, even after quitting the game and restarting I'm still at the credits rendering the game totally unplayable - G8ball1511
 * This is consistent. Happens for every world
 * Temporarily switching back to an earlier snapshot got me past the credits. Unfortunately, any snapshot-specific blocks are deleted and have to be placed again after reloading the newer snapshot. - David Lones 18:26, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Blocks
Bugs ! Sometimes redstone torches will burn out until a game/server restart. It seems like itf get caused by the "/time set" command.
 * I can confirm this, it seems that if a torch burns out, you'd have to move the torch to occupy a different block for it to not just stay off when the torch is toggled off. Even then, the torch seems to burn out again after being toggled a few times, with the bug again occurring, even if it would normally work and not be burned out. This bug will stay even on reloading the world, and you have to quit the game completely and relaunch it for the bug to disappear. However, I do recall using /time set at least once, so it could possibly be related to that function, which effects may carry over upon reload. This would be classified as a major bug, for it breaks all redstone circuitry. I'll try to get more accurate details of this issue when I investigate this more. Any proper help or further analysis would be greatly appreciated! --Wormy14 07:14, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

! Blocks placed in empty chunks in the end are invisible until reconnecting. It's almost impossible to build in the end because of that.

! There seems to be cases in which dirt blocks will be loaded as stone blocks. Found the error in an extreme hills biome. The blocks had the stone texture as well as its durability, but when broken dropped dirt instead. Reloading minecraft caused the blocks to load properly. For purposes of trying to reproduce the bug, the seed and coordinates are as follows: Seed: -1535938722 | x: -121 | y: 78 | z: 101

! Mushrooms cannot be planted outside at night except on Mycelium. This is because the moonlight is considered 15, which is used by other crops so that they CAN grow outside at night. TorchicBlaziken 23:59, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When collecting Mushroom blocks with Silk Touch it will not preserve the damage value. TorchicBlaziken 23:49, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined When placing Mushroom blocks of a damage value greater than 0, it will revert to 0 upon placing. This used to happen with Monster Eggs, before they were tweaked in 12w17a to prepare them for inclusion in the Creative Mode inventory. TorchicBlaziken 23:59, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

undefinedRepeaters still get stuck. when flying away so a chunk gets unloaded, and then returning to that chunk will result in the repeaters being frozen.

undefined Redstone torches can burn out randomly and will continue burning out even when you replace it. Reloading will fix the issue. Tried reproducing it but I haven't been able to since it happened once.
 * Occurs after using /time set - after 15 switches the torch burns out, regardless of triggering method or ticks between switches. 4C51 05:45, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

undefined Redstone circuits become unreliable over a certain distance. For example in 1.2.5 the max distance was 280 blocks, now its 150 blocks. I have a city on my server and this bug has caused rail way switching systems to stop working. It would be even better if the circuit distance could be expanded beyond 280 blocks, not halved. --crisss994
 * ok this has been moved to the fixed/skipped section, it better be fixed because this bug is annoying me. whats the point of a update if its gonna screw my world ffs
 * The point of an update is to add a bunch of awesome new features. The reason the redstone doesn't work for you is because nobody is in the chunks of your server. Redstone doesn't travel into unloaded chunks and so your redstone won't update if no player is in the chunk. If 1 person is standing at the end and 1 at the beginning the redstone will probably travel the whole way.
 * I love new updates but when they cause my world to malfunction something ive been working on for a long time its frustrating. your right they work when others are near the other end though it worked way longer distances before this snapshot without others on the other end, its been halved now.
 * Is it at all possible to make a redstone circuit load a chunk it runs into? This limitation would prevent some of the huge redstone computers from functioning as well as other interesting builds - Lucifer_LLS 02:30, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

undefinedfire caused by lighting strikes doesn't go away. you need to place a block to destroy it

undefined When placing a wire from a tripwire on the ground and placing another one ontop of that one and removing the bottom one, you have a flying tripwire. When placing a block under it, the tripwire wire drops itself.
 * See this screenshot: - Mustek 12:42, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Floating tripwire is not a bug; dinnerbone has stated tripwire is meant to be able to float. Breaking when a solid block is placed under it, however, is a bug. --WolfieMario 23:22, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

A The hitbox for placed string is very large. It should be scaled down to fit the actual size of the item, similar to fences.
 * It's intentionally large to help you build from the sides of it. It scales down to the real size when the wire is hooked up in both sides. If it always used that normal hitbox, it'd be extremely frustrating to build with. Dinnerbone 11:26, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Vertically, yes, it does scale down, but in my opinion, it should also scale down horizontally. One is able to set off the tripwire by occupying the same block even if the actual wire isn't stepped on. The large horizontal size also makes it harder to jump over.

A Getting XP from Coal Ore is unbalanced : as deposits of coal are commun and usually large, the amount of XP you can expect a single deposit of coal is really high. Similary, as Iron deposits are commun in caverns, Getting XP by smelting iron is also unbalanced. These are even more unbalanced if you consider that maximal level enchantment is now 30 instead of 50. That's why I suggest apply this XP drop feature only on Rare Ores (Emeralds, Diamonds, Lapis-Lazuli and Redstone and smelted Gold). Missingno 26 14:13, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I disagree. I think it's a great idea that all of these actions drop XP, however they may drop too much XP. Perhaps the amount of XP dropped per event should be lowered, and, if not already, scaled by the rarity of each resource, i.e. coal drops very little xp while diamond drops a greater amount.
 * Well ... I guess if Coal dropped 1 XP and Iron dropped 2 XP then it would be OK.
 * Are you kidding? Should be more like a 1 in 10 chance of dropping experience. I found myself jump 10 levels from just two pockets of coal. Top tier enchantments should be something you need to save for.

a Now that exp is dropped from redstone ore, it makes sense to always mine all redstone ore. However, this causes huge amounts of redstone to pile up at home because it no longer makes sense to skip it. This, plus the fact that there is no redstone block (like lapis lazuli, iron, gold, or diamond) means that after as little as two or three mining trips you can get as much as 12 stacks of redstone dust, and it fills up chests with few uses other than to generate obsidian (and 12 stacks isn't needed for that). It's annoying. A simple solution would be to throw out the redstone but it's for some reason something that I and others won't want to do.

a! The arrangement of blocks required to create a Golem does not include air surrounding the Golem, or something for the Golem to stand on. Buildings made of blocks of snow and iron can be griefed by players, or worse, Endermen, simply by placing pumpkins on them. If it is an Iron Golem that is unintentionally created, then this results in a big waste of iron.

amp since sm and mp have merged. sp mobs had the same lag as multiplayer mobs. mojang has made that smoother so they walk normal again. but multiplayer mob movement is still very lagy. even if your server is localhosted and you're the only one online.

a Most of the Mobs which deal food (Pigs, Cows, Chickens etc.) do not spawn much on some biomes. (since 1.8 animals do not spawn in an already loaded chunk). This makes dealing with hunger be harder.

 * TNT and Cake should NOT be placeable. Players could pillar over obstacles.
 * Lava and Water from buckets should NOT be placeable. Players could climb up the flows like an elevator (doing so in lava would only require a Fire Resistance potion). Use pistons or dispensers to control water and lava flows instead.
 * Shears should be able to cut tripwires. Vines should not be destroyed by shears. Vine-Growth should probably be turned off to prevent unintended access to areas from climbing. Vines also should NOT be placeable to prevent unintended access.
 * Food-Management will be a necessity unless Hunger is turned off. Therefore, players should be allowed to collect Wheat (allowed in 12w22a) and Watermelon Slices (disallowed). Furthermore, Farmland-Trampling should be disabled and players should be allowed to replant farmland with Wheat or Watermelon seeds. (Pumpkin seeds and Sugarcane too?)
