Crashing/system
Bugs !!smp Dedicated server crash when a second player joined, out of memory crash. I'm going to continue to write about this until it's fixed, it's weird there's no feedback from mojang regarding this. It's going to be gamebreaking for everyone that play online. --Shelter 17:55, 23 October 2012 (UTC) This is a later crash report that occured this evening: undefined
 * Did you experience this crash more than once? Have you experienced it in 1.4.1pre?  If your answer to either one of those is "no" then don't expect to get a response from Mojang.  From what you have posted it is easy to assume that you either experienced a freak crash that will never happen again or that the bug has been fixed in 1.4.1pre Regdoug 19:28, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * We've had this issue since 12w37a. I've seen him post on almost every snapshot and pre-release about this bug. It's a very annoying bug that has happened repeatedly to my server. Phascinate 15:44, 23 October 2012 (EST)
 * Yes, check my previous bug reports, last working server is 12w36a. :( From what I've seen it usually crashes upon player joins or portal usage, other than that I haven't seen anything special to pin down the crashes. --Shelter 21:27, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I also have seen the same problem, starting after 12w36a. Exact same symptoms, resulting in out of memory exception and server crash 2-5 times a day. Three players should have no trouble running on 1.5GB of RAM! -jamminjulia 19:32, 23 October 2012 (EST)
 * 512 MB server and it will crash every couple of hours even if there is only one player online. Also getting the Out of Memory crash reports, but with the sub-text of javaheapspace. -MrScaryMuffin 3:12, 24 October 2012 (EST)
 * 1G server and will crash occasionally via portal usage, and exploring terrain via boat. 04:51, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Gameplay
Bugs ! When you create a flatland world, delete it and create a normal world with the exact same name and seed, sometimes the chuncks that had already been generated in the flatland world, will still be flatland in the nornal world.

! Paintings don't check for collision with other paintings when placed. -- Daniel 14:43, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

! Extended duration potions end prematurely, with ~2:00 minutes remaining (small correction, happens at 1:33 remaining). Effect disappears from character and inventory screen. This bug happened consistently with extended duration strength and fire resistance potions. Have not tried with normal duration potions, yet. -- Brandon 3:34 (updated at 3:43), 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Upped to major bug. Because of this, I drowned in lava with a large number of valuables. (Also, this has been present for quite a while now.) - Weena 06:46, 24 October (UTC)

undefined When riding a pig on half-blocks or stairs, pig constantly jumping and ride is very slow. Upside down slabs/stairs works fine. Video demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHza0CJlaxU&feature=youtu.be -- Cabbagehead9 16:12, 23 October 2012 (UTC) undefined If a Zombie stops or is stopped before it finishes breaking a door the cracks it made are left behind, then if the door is removed it leaves behind a "cracks block?" (not an actual block). If anything is put in it's place even if it's a different shape (e.g. Fence) the cracks wrap around the object though it doesn't become damaged. The "block" and it's affects disappear after a few seconds or a chunk reload. --5ives 20:14, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

a The Minecraft launcher (Minecraft.exe) has the potential to stop users from joining offline servers, the user's email address will be set as their name if the official Minecraft logon servers are down and the email address could possibly go over the maximum 16 characters in a name, kicking the player out

Blocks
Bugs

! Furnaces can be glitched to have infinite fuel. Put a lava bucket in, put some things in to smelt, re-logged and furnace GUI flames never decreased but smelted things. Marked as major due to it being very similar to a duplication bug.
 * Actually, it might possibly be visual, but is not fixed after re-log, checking now.

spAnvil Block incorrectly falls and wrong texture:start falls,falls.
 * This is known and will be fixed in the future.

undefinedRepeaters do not always lose their signal correctly when supplied with a repeating pulse. This seems to occur when the pulse length is equal to or less than the repeater's delay setting. As a specific example, if you have a series of repeaters set to a 4-tick delay and use a 5-clock and edge detector/pulse limiter that defaults to "on" with 3-tick "off" pulses, all but the last repeater will carry the wave of pulses; the last repeater will be stuck on. However, if you place another repeater after that one, it will start working again. The new repeater, if set to 4 ticks, will also get stuck on. Interestingly, the repeater can be turned sideways so that the previous one locks it instead of transferring the signal, and all repeaters will function correctly--the repeaters work as expected as long as they're followed by another repeater. See this video for a visual demonstration (more than this one example): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7WOHNOWF3I. - Aedarin 02:45, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Items
Bugs x When shooting a fully drawn bow into a nether portal from only one block away, the arrow will not go through the portal. --CookooCam

x Hitting a mob while it is in its invulnerable state decreases the durability of your sword/tool without doing damage. (A wooden sword's durability can be reduced to less than half on a single zombie.) (122.108.64.42 08:32, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Still? they need to fix that, transportation would be a lot faster if ender pearls worked. However this has been an annoyance/bug since they were first introduced. Trigger hurt 23:19, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

a When NAMING items, if you try name over expensive item, it say too expensive. There should be way to make non-nameable, but not this way. Maybe have interface tick on anvil that is on creative that controls if items is nameable in survival EDIT:or maybe even have that tick on survival too but only available when item is still nameable. (over expensive can be created in creative) --188.238.164.69 08:24, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

undefined Slimes sometimes have the wrong size hitboxes. It makes it sometimes very hard to melee a large slime. (And tiny slimes cover large areas where you can't interact with things) --Masa 22:25, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

undefined Endermen forget their rage once they've teleported. Possibly only applies if they teleport into sunlight - I repeatedly attacked/aggravated one on the surface and after each teleport he seemed to have very little interest in retaliating. This was on hard mode too. --82.69.54.207 22:52, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances a! Zombie Pigmen add the gold sword damage to their base damage which increases their attack power drastically, making them hit harder than Endermen. --212.226.74.96 14:36, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * To add to that, Zombie Pigmen have an unfairly long reach, making it extremely difficult to hit them back, sometimes impossible to hit without taking damage on servers. --Ningamerl 14:50, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

a! After mobs die, their hitbox remains throughout their death animation. This is annoying because it takes tool/sword durability rapidly and stops you from hitting any other mobs close to the one killed. This has been here for a while, but has really come out for me after the SSP merge. If the hitbox could simply be removed after the mob receives the killing blow, this would be so much better. Also, mainly noticed and annoying in a flatland chicken farm while trying to kill them with a stone sword: one would die but remain in the death animation and while I clicked it was breaking my sword and not hurting anything else.

a! When dying, a Wither Skeleton has a chance to pick up its own dropped head, causing the head to disappear. The head will briefly appear with the dropped coal and bones but disappears just before the fallen Wither Skeleton corpse despawns. Mining around where the Whither Skeleton was killed does not reveal a head so I assume the Skeleton picked it up as it died. 76.178.144.230 08:26, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

undefined (Mossy) Cobblestone Walls attached with different kinds of solid blocks have a graphical glitch. See http://imgur.com/6QPk4, http://imgur.com/zzeYw. I'm using Windows 7 64bit / Java 1.7.0_07-b10 / NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti with 306.97 driver with no custom settings. --Daybreaker 15:45, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I confirmed that this may be the same bug in Asmcsl's report. My Anvils have the same glitch. It seems that if a block model contacts with its neighbor (solid block) then the game engine removes or hides the surfaces looking at that direction. This symptom happen with all other non-rectangular blocks or those which have multiple surfaces including at least one surface meeting with the block boundary--such as cobblestone walls, fences, ender portal frame filled with an eye of ender, and beacon. Other blocks such as chests, ender chests does not have this glitch and they have no surface meeting the block boundary. Stairs are another exception case. Maybe this is a bug due to optimization? --Daybreaker 16:12, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

undefined In multiplayer Item Frames show colored armor as normal leather armor.

undefined The player's head orientation (or wearable item orientation, other than the armor) seems to get stuck to the one it was at when drinking a potion of invisibility. It resets when the potion effect runs out. This can be seen by wearing a pumpkin while invisible and using F5. Also, the weapon and tool use/hit animations don't work while invisible.

 * Not sure, but I think the fullscreen setting is mainly used to determine if Minecraft should start in fullscreen or not. So, if you switch out of fullscreen manually, it won't change the fact that Minecraft defaults to fullscreen when started. 98.202.68.30 07:56, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
