Crashing/System
Bugs !! After closing and re-opening a world, Minecraft went to the dirt background and subsequently crashed. I've tried to reproduce but it doesn't seem to occur again undefined undefined I was doing a stress-test with 3000 XP orb entities (1 frame/5 seconds), and after they got insta-del by a cactus the framerate instantly topped back to 40 (the limit) but the game took 5 seconds to speed back up from a slow-motion sort of speed. During this time (at smooth framerate) the player moved very slowly, with low gravity, and the rest of the game world seemed to fast-forward (mobs, item decay, time of day).
 * How to reproduce: Build a glass cabin. Get Instant Health II splash potions, Zombie egg and Cactus. Remember to build it on sand. Next, get a macro-clicker because you'll need about 400 zombies, don't go any further risking a crash. Then, close the cabin up and kill them with the potion: this will prevent the orbs from coming to you as they spawn. Quickly collect the drops from inside the box, leaving the xp confined. Next, spawn a zombie beside you on the outside. Notice that the lag from the thousands of orbs is extreme with FPS nearing zero. Watch this zombie for two or three minutes, then break the glass and replace it with cactus. The XP orbs will be deleted by the cactus, then the zombie you just placed will speed up crazily and you will have moon jump for ~5 seconds.
 * Reproduced in 30e. --Steve G. Wood 14:41, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

! Minecraft will not save world progress when reloading a world in some computers (such system include: 1.75 GB of RAM, 32-bit, 2.71 GHz, Windows XP SP3, Java 1.6). Example on a newly generated world: http://imgur.com/a/IodIc#0 --Manuelschi 14:52, 25 July 2012 (UTC) Annoyances

a! sp When loading or creating a new world, the loading screen with the dirt background says Loading chunks, adds Building terrain, then the main menu then flashes up, then goes back to the dirt background which briefly says Downloading terrain, then flashes the main menu up again, before showing the world. --SpokeHD 14:43, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Gameplay
Bugs

! Traveling to the Nether still frequently drops the player out of the world, resulting in death and loss of items/xp. A first trip to the Nether usually functions normally, but repeat trips often result in said bug. 70.179.147.135 09:51, 25 July 2012 (UTC) [sorry, forgot to sign]
 * I have two portal in overworld that go to same portal in the nether. When I enter the nether through second portal and return, I fall out of the world. Maybe the chunk with primary portal is not loaded properly. If I save the game in nether, it works ok. 212.226.57.220 14:51, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * When this happens, you can quickly save&exit and reload. This often saves you from dying.

! After his death his spawn point changes, precluding the gameplay of some custom maps, and compass does not point to their spawn point. NOTE: also the definition Without the bed, the bed works, the problem is with the natural spawning

undefinedmp When teleporting to the nether the server lags. A noticeable spike on the server client appears also. Screenshot: [] --derksthename

a The builtin "speedhack" detection breaks elevators and other legitimate piston contraptions that transport a player "too fast". It manifests itself as getting stuck in the device due to the movement, caused by the piston pushing the player, being denied by the server. This used to be an issue on MP only, but now that the client is effectively a server as well, it affects SP too. --Ntt 13:13, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * (Merged duplicate) pistons are allmost fixed but these piston elevator's still don't work properly. they push you up 5 block before you get stuck inside an extended piston arm.--League

a cr When flying at high altitude, or with a large drop below you, the double tap sometimes no longer lets the player fall, forcing you to either switch to survival mode to get to ground level or very slowly descend with shift. I know this is due to lag but is there some way to get around it? --SpokeHD 15:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

a When Mob Spawners spawn FallingSand entities, they will often fail to place and instead drop as items. It might be beneficial to have an additional parameter dictating if a FallingSand entity should drop an item if it fails to place. --MegaScience 11:48, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
