Crashing/system
Bugs !!mp When exploring, the server often gets a RuntimeException("Already decorating!!") and all players are disconnected. after this, players cannot reconnect (reconnect produces same exception) until the server is restarted. Issue is more likely to occur in the nether. undefined Sometimes produces another exception (ConcurrentModificationException) but players can reconnect without any issues afterwards: (might not be related) undefined

!! I created a creative world (all default), walked around a bit, restarted minecraft, tried to load the world again and got my first crash report ever. I tried to reproduce but it didn't happened again. The world loads fine now. undefined

!!Game crashes when starting up some saved games. They crash in 12w38a, 12w39a, and 12w39b. Installing 12w37a makes the games load properly again.

! Forest fires usually reduce my iMac to slideshow speed - tens of seconds per frame. Fire spread is far too rapid, and the performance hit if you get caught too near a large fire makes the game completely unplayable, even after I've set video quality to all the minimum settings. And allowing monsters to continue to spawn and move when the computer is under such strain is even more unfair. I gather there are plans afoot to make the rate of fire spread difficulty-dependent. Fine, but even then the worst possible fire spread setting should be toned down from what we have now. As an aside I wonder if surface forest fires might be a cause of gross unexplained lag underground? Is there a way to tell if there's a surface forest fire above you out of earshot? --82.69.54.207 22:04, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

! 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)

 * Is it still an issue in 12w39b? If not, wrong page.

a! Villager trading is made cumbersome due to the nature of the offer renewal feature. On average, an offer can be used 7 times before a player must trade with the final offer slot to renew disabled offers. Because rarer offers are weighted to be more likely when a villager has many offers, and rarer offers tend to be more expensive or provide items which aren't as useful in large quantities, a villager which has been traded many times tends to be less useful than a villager traded only a few times. This is because, in order to renew desired offers, often an expensive or limited-use offer such as 11 emeralds for a watch must be traded. Once a villager has all its offer slots, further trading with this villager will require trading always with the last slot, putting a player at an excess of an item they may not have a use for. There is no particularly logical reason a villager can't renew their offers after making any other trade: in fact, if we assume villagers have actual jobs aside from trading, offers should be capable of renewal over time. It would be much less cumbersome to trade with villagers if *any* trade had a random chance of renewing a disabled slot. Also, it is not logical that only disabled slots can be renewed - why is there a limit to how many uses any offer can gain? Surely, if a villager amasses larger amounts of wealth, they would have more to trade and therefore be willing to trade more. Jeb has stated he intends for villagers to have more long-term benefits, but currently you are still better off building villager breeders than spending your time caring for any one particular villager. --WolfieMario 01:25, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Very nice analysis. They keep saying they're trying to dissuade us from killing villagers, but the problem isn't that we kill them, it's that we MUST kill them in order to have anything even resembling a useful trading system. --5thHorseman 22:22, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

a There is no way to teleport a player relative to their current coordinates using command blocks. Although the idea may seem simple, there are many things which are not possible because of this (e.g. illusions to help stitch together separate areas of maps, forcefields which physically repel the player (rather than placing them at a fixed coordinate), interactive "flipbooks", etc.). There is also no way to teleport a player to fractional coordinates (e.g. y=64.5). --WolfieMario 01:26, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

a Mushroom blocks cannot be harvested or placed properly. In either case (even when using silk touch or the Creative Mode pickblock button), the block reverts to pores on all sides. Thus, map editors or tedious piston usage is necessary to build with non-pore mushroom blocks. It does not make sense for Silk Touch to fail to properly harvest mushroom blocks, and it makes even less sense that even commands to obtain special mushroom blocks have them reverted upon placement. --WolfieMario 01:26, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

undefined Duplication bug: When surrounding more than one map with paper, the crafting output slot presents as many maps as are in the input slot. When these maps are taken from the output slot, only one map is removed from the input slot. For example, if you attempt to zoom a stack of 64 maps using the crafting recipe, you will get 64 zoomed maps, and keep 63 of the original map, at the cost of 8 paper. Thus you essentially almost double the amount of maps you have. --WolfieMario 21:46, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

a When a map is placed on an item frame, the location of the frame is denoted with a green cursor if the frame is within the mapped region. However, if the frame is off-map, then it is denoted as a white circle, the same symbol used by players off-map.

a In my opinion, the aesthetics of dyed leather armor are severely crippled by forcing them to contain non-dyed parts. While this may be to reduce confusion in PvP, the same could be achieved just by changing the texture, without forcing dyed leather armor to still prominently display brown. Alternatively, a mechanic could somehow be implemented where both components of leather armor can be dyed, allowing for more aesthetic choice rather than less (one possibility is crafting two leather armor together - another would be to dye leather itself, and craft leather onto armor for colored trim). It doesn't make sense that your character can't dye all of the leather on the armor - it's all the same material, isn't it? --WolfieMario 01:14, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Very strongly agree. As currently implemented this is definitely a backwards step; there's not much point making things dyeable if you can't fully control their colour. The old dyeable leathers looked quite good as actual clothes, the new ones, especially the helmet, make Steve look like a racing driver. I'd be delighted to have both options available; could the old clothes be reinstated, possibly as new crafting recipes for wool or something? --Simons Mith[82.69.54.207] 02:16, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Fixed/skipped f 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)

f 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)

Graphical/lighting
Bugs

undefined The player's legs do not line up properly with the torso. It seems that each leg is set back a few pixels, and each leg is set inward a few pixels (legs overlap one another on their inner face). --Gilmoreja 06:46, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

undefined Will the black flickering mobs, chests and player hand ever be fixed? This is really annoying. Happens since the lighting changed in Beta 1.8. Still the same in 12w39b. Graphics card is a Radeon X1650 but I know this also happens with Intel cards. More details here.

! 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)
 * Doesn't happen to me, what kind of computer do you have?Pokechu22 23:23, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It's an old PPC eMac with Java 1.5_19, that has enough processing power to run Minecraft on short/tiny, has an unnaturally dark screen at times, can't connect to external IPs, and which now has ruined sound with the 12w38b prerelease... But it works and can function, so why shouldn't it be able to run Minecraft correctly?! --Wormy14 19:47, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

a!Appear to have problems with lighting in the Nether in 12w39b. As in, there are no "live" lighting updates when placing a torch. You have to leave and re-enter the Nether for it to recalculate. Even then, doesnt work properly. Doesnt prevent blazes from spawning in a extremely torch spammed area. Youtube video to follow.

s In Minecraft 12w39b the lighting on wooden planks is off as well, not just stairs, and for some reason the top chest is darker than the bottom one in my house. I will try to figure out how to upload photos or link them here. Pashta 03:34, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Sounds
Bugs !My sounds have now been severely mauled with the new sound engine. The sounds are ground out, with 90% loud static, even with clicking on the main menu. And the music sounds like a nightmare when it plays, no missing it with music on there! The issue only occurs with 12w28b and later, previous releases and snapshots still work fine. --Wormy14 12:46, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

!no player sounds at all like walking, menu sounds. no animal sounds cow pig sheep, chickens work. also none made the walking sound at all. all worked fine until the 38 week release with new sounds

In-game interfaces/HUD
Bugs

undefined Sometimes block placement doesn't quite produce what you want. Most noticeable at present with corner stairs. They unshape and reshape in a mostly-predictable way but sometimes you get odd behaviour. I'd suggest this is an omission in the UI - I think one either needs to be able to control whether or not blocks reshape when you place or remove adjacent blocks, or else you need better feedback about what you're going to get. For example, at present placing blocks makes them 'join to what's present', and removing blocks causes other blocks left behind to 'reshape dynamically'. If there was some better feedback on what was going to happen, or a way to control the reshaping behaviour (for example by shift-placing and shift-removing) I think that would plug a hole in the current block placement UI. --82.69.54.207 17:03, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
