Crashing/system
Bugs ! Memory Leak while running Server on CentOS(linux), Server left up for 24 hours used 1600MB of memory when idle. This has been since at least 12w38b when we first started to use the snapshots. Requires reboot to release memory.

! I reported this a few snapshots back to the regular forums. I just did this a few minutes ago in 12w39b so it's still happening. There is a major bug with maps and copying them. Copying one map is fine. Copying a pile of maps works fine but the two piles do not stack if you do it that way. There is also a DUPLICATION bug when ENLARGING maps. If you take a stack of maps that you copied and put blank papers around it to enlarge one, it actually enlarges ALL of the maps in the pile but only takes ONE. So, if you have a stack of 4 maps and try to enlarge with papers, you will get a stack of 3 of the original maps left in the center of the crafting table but 4 (or whatever number of maps you put in the crafting table originally) newly enlarged maps in the creation spot instead of one.  They are real maps, it's not a ghost image.  I have done this many times, logged in and out, etc. Pashta 04:31, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

! + Minecraft does not always register keys being released. That causes player to keep moving in the direction the key was pressed. Also Minecraft window sometimes loses focus after placing and saving a sign. It occurs the more often the slower the computer running minecraft is. This bug has been around at least since 1.3.x 89.75.162.72 09:31, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

undefined Boats float in midair above the water and/or sink below the water after placing a boat in the water, saving the map, opening the map, and then touching the boat. To reproduce: 1) Place boat in water; 2) Save the map; 3) Open up the same map; 4) You will see the boat floating in midair just above the water; 5) Nudge the boat slightly by going adjacent to it and it will drop into the water; 6) After dropping into the water, it will actually start to fill with water and sink slowly; 7) Go next to it and the boat will float to the top once again; 8) After that, it may start to sink again; 9) This occurs when placed in water in an enclosed dock, and sometimes in open water. --Eugeniusz 10:07, 01 October 2012 (CEST)

Blocks
Bugs

! When a player looks at an item frame, mobs start to glitch into and through wooden plank blocks and suffocate. The mobs don't need to be nearby and the item frame doesn't have to be visible but can be hidden behind opaque blocks as long as it is within the field of view of the player. This bug exists since 12w34a. --Obi-Wahn 10:44, 29 September 2012 (UTC). '''Edit: This does not occur on my Mac. May be limited to Windows.''' User:ken_garmany 3:45, September 2012

Items
Bugs ! I consider this a major bug because I spent a lot of time finding and obtaining these items. As of 12w39b, all of my carrot and potato items completely disappeared. This affected Potato, Carrot, Poison Potato, Golden Carrot, and Carrot on a Stick... In addition a storage minecart that included these items also completely disappeared. Night vision and Invisibility potions also disappeared. Can anyone else confirm this happened to them, or expand on explaining the issue.
 * This affects inventory items and crops that were planted before 12w39b.
 * Sounds like you may have opened the map in an older version that didn't have these items? It would cause exactly this. — [[Image:Mojang_AB_logo.png|13px]] Dinnerbone(T) 08:18, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

World generator
Bugs

undefined In the snapshot 12w39b the nether won't generate for new worlds and the screen will just say generating land and old worlds(with nether already generated) won't load new chunks or update chunks.

!! New worlds can't be generated. Waited 20 minutes, which is beyond excessive. Tried random and known good seeds. Monitoring the process shows no activity, then 2%-3% CPU usage spikes every 30 seconds or so. Have to end process, crash file has a time stamp of when the generation started-Porrohman undefined
 * Doesn't happen to me in suprflat, but I believe you with your crash. Pokechu22 23:17, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Superflat doesn't really generate anything other than bedrock/rock/dirt so that's not a surprise. Tried again on a completely different comupter, with a fresh windows install,brand new up to date java and find the same problem. -Porrohman

undefined
 * * Also observed on existing SMP world after more than a day of uptime, no obvious method to recreate. My SMP world has existed since 1.2, upgrading through most snapshots, so this is not isolated to new worlds. --Inertia 01:26, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Bugs

undefined Bats can spawn in the mushroom island biome (tested in superflat world with mushroom island as biome)

Every passive mob can spawn on mushroom island biome, if the condtions are right

undefined Cave spiders can move through solid blocks. I have a cave spider water elevator that I sealed off completely and left one airspace at the top. When I am standing on top of it and facing it, the spiders all pile up in the airspace, and all is ok. The moment I turn around, all the spiders are outside and attacking me. In previous versions this was just a visual glitch, but the spiders were still in the airspace, now they have moved through solid blocks. --BeansAndPixels 16:24, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Were those solid blocks wooden planks? If so, I bet you were looking in the direction of an item frame when you turned around. --Obi-Wahn 16:52, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * They were wooden planks, and changing the system into stone fixed the problem. It's still a bug I guess, they are not meant to glitch trough wood. Thanks for the tip. --BeansAndPixels 15:01, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

! Tamed wolves and ocelots would randomly teleport to you even after told to sit. Has been a bug since the 1.2 update, even more buggy now as they teleport even when you're in the same chunk as them, when before it only happen if they were in an unloaded chunk. --Dorkster 19:18, 28 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Wrong page, post it in the 1.3.2 issues page, not here
 * The point is the bug gets even more buggy in the snapshot. --Dorkster 06:14, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

undefined Sometimes tamed wolves (or possibly other mobs as well) would sink into the ground and get suffocated until they die. --Dorkster 19:18, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Turns out it's the Item Frame and Wooden Plank blocks bug. --Dorkster 06:14, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

undefined The AI defaults to considering Cobblestone Walls as normal blocks. As such, when mobs attempt to path beyond them, they may path through them. This is significantly noticeable with Villagers. If a Villager attempts to path to a house or elsewhere when a cobblestone wall blocks this path, they will run into the wall, attempting to jump over it, and not repath around it. This is incredibly troublesome in cases where cobblestone walls attach to sides of houses - a Villager can become trapped against the Cobblestone Wall throughout the night and likely killed by a Zombie, since the AI believes it is still taking a valid path to the door. I've also just noticed Iron Golems having the same problem, not to say this isn't universal. --MegaScience 15:57, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * This bug is still prevalent in 12w39b. This will be troublesome if it makes it to full release - I'm sure mapmakers will incorporate cobblestone walls in villages, and discover all the villagers die because they get stuck against the walls all night. --MegaScience 23:39, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I found the problem of the bug. Originally, the Witch texture image is 64x126. At some point, it was fixed to 64x128. While updating my texture pack, I did not observe this change until recently. Sorry for the misleading. SN777_Divinus 07:06, 01 October 2012 (UTC)

Graphical/lighting
Bugs

! Ever since the 1.8 lighting update, my lighting has been seriously messed up, especially at night. During the day, lighting is normal. However, at night, the lighting changes drastically. To describe it, it seems that the light limits have been reversed. At the surface, it's still tied to a sun light level, that is, the surface is lit up like sunlight, even though the sky is black and starry. And for caves, the lighting is restricted to moonlight, but still has gradation, as in, there are 16 notable values. This seriously breaks gameplay at night, as you can't see anything in caves without a good bit of lighting. It also breaks light beacons on the surface. I have no idea how this got by, as it seems like a glaring mistake; maybe you can figure it out! Note: This only seems to apply to actual blocks; entities are darkening as they are supposed to. --Wormy14 12:42, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
