Minecraft Wiki:Issues/Weekly 12w16a

Organization of This Page & Instructions
'This page is for bugs that occur in the client or server of an unmodded'' Minecraft game. If you think a bug you have found in a modded version is not the result of the mods you have added, please be sure to reproduce it in an unmodded game before posting it here.'''

When reporting or commenting on a bug or annoyance, please sign your remarks with  ~ . This is a deliberate exception to the usual wiki conventions; normally you should only add signatures to content on talk pages.

Please do not spontaneously delete an issue report or comment unless it is patent nonsense submitted by someone who has not logged in. Try to contact the submitter by user-talk first and tell them about your concerns. Almost all genuine, active submitters will be co-operative. Always assume good faith.

If you're unsure of an issue, it's good practice to post about it on the |talk page to see whether others can reproduce it. Make sure you're testing the bug in the correct version (for this page, that's 1.2.5) with no mods installed. Also, make sure to proofread your issue report before submitting it; unintelligible issue reports come off as inconsiderate and disrespectful. Finally, please determine which game mode(s) your issue appears in, and flag it with the appropriate label(s). (Also, note that if, for example, a minor annoyance appears in both single-player and multiplayer, and in both creative and survival modes, you should label it as a, not aspmpsucr.)

Please make sure issues are given the correct category, type, and priority: redstone issues go in the Redstone section, problems with mobs go into the Mobs section, and so on. List crash bugs !! first, then major bugs !, then minor ones undefined. Annoyances go into the Annoyances subsection, with major ones A! before minor ones A. Issues that have been marked as fixed or skipped are moved to the Fixed/Skipped section. Issues that Mojang cannot reproduce should be left in their original place.

Please sign all issue reports and comments by typing  ~  (three tildes; tilde may be found above on USA keyboards, and to the right of  on British keyboards).

There is no need to place bullet points before issue labels. Use bullet points only for comments. Be sure to leave a single totally blank line before each new issue (but not before comments), unless the issue appears directly beneath a header.

If a new version of Minecraft is released, create that page with. Any changes made to this header should also be made to this template.

Note: Please don't let debates about whether something is or is not a bug or annoyance get out of hand. Similarly, don't clog bug reports with discussions of workarounds or possible fixes. If ever a bug or annoyance ends up with more than about 10-12 lines of follow-up comments, please move the entire follow-up discussion to the talk page and put in a cross-reference to the discussion under the original bug.

Issue Labels
Please mark your issue with one of these issue labels: (listed from highest priority to lowest)
 * !! =  !!  = Critical bug that can crash a Minecraft client or server.
 * ! =  !  = Major bug. Use this tag sparingly; if there is consensus your bug is not major, it will be downgraded.
 * a! =  a!  = Major annoyance. Think very carefully before flagging an annoyance as major.  Is it really more important than most minor bugs?  Use this tag sparingly; if there is consensus your annoyance is not major, it will be downgraded.
 * undefined =  undefined  = Minor bug.
 * a =  a  = Annoyance.
 * ? =  ?  = Potential issue that you are unsure of or that the community (on the discussion page) believes requires further vetting. Note: do not use this label to indicate this-is-not-a-bug; instead, replace the issue's current label with [A] or [A!].  Furthermore, it is inappropriate to use this to flag something you disagree with; instead, express your opinion in a comment. When you apply this label to an issue, place it after the issue's existing labels; do not remove those labels.

Labels for indicating that an issue happens only in a particular game mode: (These labels cannot stand alone; you must use them in addition to, not instead of, the ones listed above.)
 * sp =  sp </tt> = Single-player.
 * mp =  mp </tt> = Multiplayer.
 * su =  su </tt> = Survival mode.
 * cr =  cr </tt> = Creative mode.

Labels for indicating that an issue happens only with cheats: (These labels cannot stand alone; you must use them in addition to, not instead of, the ones listed above.)

They don't exist yet, but should be added soon.

Labels for indicating that an issue is restricted to a particular OS:
 * =  </tt> = Mac OS X
 * =  </tt> = Windows
 * =  </tt> = GNU/Linux

Labels that Mojang (not you!) uses: (Please place these tags in front of existing issue labels; do not remove the existing labels.)
 * f = Issue for which a fix will appear in the next update.
 * n = Not a bug; intended behavior. By definition, this label is inapplicable to annoyances; annoyances are not bugs.
 * s = Issue that will not be fixed in the next update.
 * u = Issue that Mojang has tested but was unable to reproduce.

To produce these labels, use the following code:  </tt>c </tt> where c is the code of the label you wish to use. (e.g., a for annoyances, etc.)

The default issue type is minor bug; you can produce this label with the shorthand  undefined </tt>.

Crashing/System
Bugs !! Changing the GUI scale still crashes the game. NetherrackCreeper (talk) 16:42, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

!! ? all modes: When I push the Button Open Texturepack Folder Minecraft crashes. My System ist Win 7 64bit, java 7u3 64bit, lwjgl2.8.3. It is a fresh Minecraft installation and a newly installed java.
 * Can confirm with the same specs. Game does not crash, but freezes without an error. Mustek 22:14, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah you are right, I used the wrong words. It freezes without an error.

Gameplay
Bugs Annoyances
 * undefined If the player saves and exits a world while in a boat, when they reload the world, they will fall out of the boat. Not tested in multiplayer.
 * undefined If the player saves and exits a world while in a minecart, when they reload the world, they will fall out of the minecart and clip into the block below the minecart. Not tested in multiplayer.
 * undefined mp When it is raining/snowing you cannot see if it is a thunderstorm or regular downfall.
 * undefined cr When using raw fish to tame ocelots, or dyes on sheep, or saddles on pigs, it is depleted, even in Creative. TorchicBlaziken 18:31, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * undefined World generation is often creating very large amounts of chunk errors. (cheats and chest enabled, vanilla)

 * a! Arrows no longer stick to mobs, this is very annoying since the feature was so hyped in the "adventure update" and then just programmed out by accident.
 * a! cr If the End Portal blocks in the End are broken, there is no way to replace them, not even with the new cheats. TorchicBlaziken 18:25, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * a sp When the Bonus Chest is enabled, if Minecraft populates that block space with another block, the chest is destroyed and the items in it become drops.
 * In snow-covered areas, there are no Bonus Chest, nor the items from it.188.147.35.186 13:12, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * a mp When rain/snow starts on a server, the no starting animation is done. For reference, in single player downfall starts by slowly fading in. The same applies when weather stops.
 * a cr If a block is broken under a placeable item, such as a redstone torch, the item will yield a drop. This has happened since creative mode was introduced.
 * a When pressing the Pick Block button on a Huge Mushroom block of any kind, top or stem, it will give you a stem block, unlike shears would.

Cheats and Commands
Bugs
 * undefined mp When using the "say" command in the server console, instead of displaying your message, it displays, "Usage: /say <message ...> even though the message is delivered.
 * undefined sp The "/give" command in the new single player cheats feature still requires you to type your Minecraft username as if you were on a server. This is not a problem with the "/gamemode" command. NetherrackCreeper (talk) 16:33, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * You can type in any text for name, so it's looks more like an annoyance to me. --Trinistr
 * I've moved this to annoyance, as you can just type anything, even "a", and it will give it to you. TorchicBlaziken 18:25, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It still doesn't seem like the right behavior, even if you don't have to type your minecraft name again and again. NetherrackCreeper (talk) 18:39, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm upgrading this to minor bug. This is not intended behavior and the fact that you can enter anything in that space attests to that. Shikamaru123 05:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances
 * undefined mp The "/time set night" command sets the time to 12500 ticks in multiplayer. So it does not actually switch to night (18000 ticks/6PM) CasVg2012
 * a New xp command is limited to 5000 xp at a time even though such limit is not connected to any level cap or similiar thing. --Trinistr
 * a The "/" key for opening the chat/cheat box is still not working properly in some keyboard layouts such as Portuguese Brazilian, where it is triggered by the ";" key. --RichardG867 20:17, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Can confirm for QWERTZ hardware keyboard on OS X: no matter which software keylayout I use, the key that opens the ch(e)at box like this is always the one to the left of the right key (where  is on a US keyboard layout) 79.225.51.67 03:49, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

a! The were unusual. Why don't you use for help like in multiplayer?

Language / Text files
Bugs

Annoyances a Not every block has a tooltip, even though all of them are available if cheats are used. TorchicBlaziken 15:31, 19 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Like portal or end crystal blocks or whatever. 88.110.121.225 15:50, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

a The End Poem is only in English, rendering it meaningless to players who don't understand it. TorchicBlaziken 18:27, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure Mojang is aware of this... --Moxxy 20:37, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Crafting/Interface
Bugs
 * ! When you try to reset the demo world in demo mode, you can't return to the main menu by clicking "Cancel". --Barracuda 16:13, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
