a Once connected to tripwire hooks, the string hitbox should scale down horizontally to better represent their actual size, similar to levers, buttons and fences. As of now, their hitboxes are probably 8 times what they should be. A smaller hitbox would also make them more difficult to see, as a player simply looking down while walking will see the change from the grass hitbox to the string one. A smaller one might circumvent that. --CaMoreno3 12:09, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Items
Bugs undefined The left arm is always over the map. But ONLY after you have opened the map in a boat -RabidOwl

undefined If you try to shoot an arrow, it will stop right in front of you and fall to the ground. Shortly after that, it "teleports" to where it was supposed to land. --177.3.48.101

undefined Graphical glitches related to placement of bottom-half and top-half slabs. The image here shows bottom-half slabs with a "curb" of top-half slabs. Block updates nearby cause graphical glitches and invisible surfaces on neighbouring blocks. --Mattrition 12:59, 7 June 2012 (UTC) via this reddit post (further description there)

Language/Text Files

Annoyances a Australian English contains the following (possibly racist) incorrect translations: --CaMoreno3 14:31, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * All oak items are called "Eucalyptus"
 * "Furnace" is translated as "Barbie"
 * "Minecart" is translated as "Holdenn"
 * "Minecart with Chest" is translated as "Holden Ute"
 * "Minecart with Furnace" is translated as "Minecart with Barbie"
 * "Spawn Cave Spider" is translated as "Spawn Funnel Web"
 * "Spawn Squid" is translated as "Spawn Blue-Ringed Octopus"
 * "Food" is translated as "Tucker"
 * "Fish" is translated as "Barramundi"
 * "Shovel" is translated as "Spade"
 * "Leather Tunic" is translated as "Leather Jacket"
 * "Leather Pants" is translated as "Leather Trousers"
 * "Leather Boots" is translated as "Leather Thongs"
 * All chain items are called "Chainmail"
 * "Chain Chestplate" is translated as "Chainmail Chest"
 * "Golden Helmet" is translated as "Golden Cork Cap"
 * "Default" is translated as "Same Same"
 * "Superflat" is translated as "Real flat"
 * "Statistics" is translated as "Check ya stats?"
 * This is someone's attempt at creating a joke language akin to Pirate or Klingon by using Australian slang. I don't think Australian players seriously require a language other than English. Whether its an acceptable joke language is another question --Mattrition 14:36, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm of the opinion that both Australian and Canadian English should be removed. Though they may be jokes, some may still take offence to them as they target a specific group of people. Pirate Speak does a good example of a tasteful "joke language" as it is (more or less) a universally recognized dialect that does not specifically target any real people.  --CaMoreno3 14:46, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Having only one english language and only one french language (and removing all the double-triple languages as well) could be an idea. Since they pretty much are the same so far (despite the racist contents added weekly by griefers). If the Australian English is a "joke" language, I totally don't find it any funny and I'm not even from Autralia. This problem seems occur only with canadian/australian english. Most of the other languages haven't been reported.
