Minecraft Wiki:Issues/Weekly 12w08a

Organization of This Page & Instructions
Please do not spontaneously delete an issue report or comment, unless it is patent nonsense submitted by someone who has not logged in. If possible, contact the submitter by user-talk first and tell them about your concerns. They will almost certainly oblige. As 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 weekly 12w08a) 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.)

Be sure to sort issues by category, type, and priority: redstone issues go in the Redstone section, etc.; bugs go in the Bugs subsection, with major bugs listed before minor bugs, annoyances in the Annoyances subsection, with major ones before minor ones, and issues that Jeb has marked as fixed or skipped are moved to the Fixed/Skipped section. Issues that Jeb cannot reproduce, however, are to remain 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.

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  = Single-player.
 * mp =  mp </tt> = Multiplayer.
 * su =  su </tt> = Survival mode.
 * cr =  cr </tt> = Creative mode.

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 !! Minecraft never fully quits and disrupts all programs running and will require a hard computer reset on Mac OS X. !! Client blackout when it receives a biome value above 22.
 * Not seen on MacOS 10.5.8 82.69.54.207
 * Not seen on MacOS 10.7.2
 * This is a temporary bug, depending on your opened applications and your free RAM. Click to the red button at the top left first to avoid this bug. NaNdummy 14:37, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

!! The game crashes if you type a seed for generating a new world ! Going to windowed mode after being in fullscreen the Screen will be Black utill i click other places out side the minecraft window --Darkmtbg2 17:19, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Can't confirm this bug on my platform, precise yours. Dexes TTP 23/02
 * Can confirm on Win7 64x running Java 6 Update 30 32bit version. Only happened when MC was in fullscreen and resulted in a JVM crashGetjack 22:50, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Didn't occur on my Win7 x64 system with Java 7 x64 RogerDeath 01:19, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Happened to me. Closed minecraft and restarted, everything worked fine, seed and all.

! Placing blocks in certain locations crashes the game on my system (for example, anywhere near/within a large tower which is also experiencing lighting bugs). The tower is basically a large number of floors extending from the bedrock layer up to the original sky limit. Since 12w07b, this tower has been lit as if it were daylight on all levels, and is very glitchy looking and flickering near the bottom floors.
 * Don't know if it is related, but I also experienced lots of crashes when strip mining below level ~50.

!! Going to the video options crashes the game.
 * currently only tested on x64 linux with nvidia graphics/drivers. Nosrepa 21:27, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Not reproducible on my x64 linux install, which uses official AMD graphics drivers. 60.242.28.67 02:22, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Confirmed on Win7 x64 (service pack 1) running official AMD graphics drivers (I have Mobility Radeon HD 4650). tfbekk

!! Loading an old map from Alpha makes the game slow and laggy and eventually crash within one minute.
 * [[OS|Win}} Tested on Win7 x64, happened since snapshot 12w08a.

!! Converted worlds (Mine is a 1.1 world) Crashes, has major lighting errors. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32165486/2012-02-26_13.57.59.png ZuppaHD

Annoyances

a The game is quite laggy when switching to another window and then reswitching to it Dexes TTP 23/02
 * I can't confirm this, maybe it's your computer --Galaxy_2Alex (Talk)
 * Similar issue on my console. Problem occurs when RAM allotments are exceeded for your computer. As Minecraft is a RAM-intensive program, issue can be fixed by installing more ram or not using multiple programs during operation Amative1 07:22, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It happens because of your RAM. --SilvermatriXTR

Redstone/Pistons
Bugs undefined Piston heads frequently fail to push the player.

undefined Either a) Powered Rail can be powered by redstone dust 3 blocks above, or if this is an intended behavior, b) they don't become powered until a block updates the track. See imgur.com/a/iysxJ for model of isolated behavior
 * This is actually in 1.1 too.

undefined Placing a redstone torch under a glass block with a redstone torch will not invert the torch on the glass
 * If I get your meaning, this isn't a bug. Glass does not transmit current. --72.208.204.70 13:24, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

! mp Redstone torches are burning out too quick. There only change there state one time and then burned out. (This bug originally showed in 12w07a). Torches placed on the same spot will burn out after one redstone update.

! Making a Redstone torch burn out, destroy it and place it again, it will simply burn out on activation. But only in that same spot. Annoyances ! The game is very very very laggy especially when raining, around iron golems and or zombies. This does not crash the game but it sometimes is unplayable! I've put all the graphical settings to the lowest style. Even though sometimes the FPS/ Chunk Updates say like 45, it lags like it where at 2! I have a very powerful iMac. Its up to date, new and super fast. Is this a bug or just a system problem. It has been happening to my friends giantwasp on his iMac too.
 * And why this is under redstone/pistons? 188.238.218.170

Blocks
Bugs ! While writing on a sign the keyboard-layout changed from German to English (meaning instead of umlauts I was writing "[" ect.) and the shift key got stuck. Although I wasn't sneaking and didn't write capital letters, I couldn't move objects in my Inventory because it instantly jumped to the hotbar or in creativemode the game selected 64 blocks and I couldn't put them in a empty slot. I'm not sure how/why that happened but I know it happened after I tried to insert quotation marks.

undefined Grass will not grow under upside down stairs.

undefined A melted ice block does not update itself, causing stationary water. (To reproduce, put a torch next to an ice block)

undefined You're unable to put a torch on upside down stairs.

undefined When placing a stair block on a thin layer of snow (not the full block), the stairs are upside-down.

? if you get past the upper bedrock layer in the nether you are able to build up to Y:254

x Vines are currently programmed like snow layers and tall grass- placing a block in the same space as them will replace the vines. This is a bug- now that vines have a practical use, this can get very annoying.
 * This is how they work. It is by design and not likely to ever change. --GufNZ (c: 07:44, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

undefined ssp If the right click button is pressed during the sleeping animation, it will place blocks where you will be looking after waking up. Raiu tree
 * Doubt it's a bug. —烏Γ ''(kaw), 22:24, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

undefined Sand is occasionally spawned floating in air. Place a block around it to update the blocks. --jaysoncopes 21:09, 24 February 2012 (CST)
 * Move to world generation 188.238.218.170

undefined If there is a cave under a Jungle Biome, vines will spawn on stone and other substances inside the cave. It will also spawn on ceilings (bug?) It can also spawn on sand if there is a desert/beach in a Jungle Biome. --jaysoncopes 21:44, 24 February 2012 (CST)
 * Stone, not a bug, Dirt, not a bug, Ores, not a bug, Sand, Bug (but only if it's generated there and aren't placed there by hanging from above.), Ceiling, not a bug. 188.238.218.170
 * Move to world generation 188.238.218.170

undefined mp Jukebox does not play above height y=128. --Gneps 0:00, 26 February 2012 (CET)

undefined Due to backface-culling and a missing bottom face on torches and redstone torches, they will be partly or completely invisible when placed on a glass block and viewed from below. 91.144.213.35 14:43, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Annoyances a! There's not enough contrast between an unpowered Redstone Lamp and a powered Redstone Lamp, which is very annoying when using them for Redstone displays. Unpowered Redstone Lamps should be darker, just like in this modified terrain.png.

aEven though Moss Stone had its texture changed in 1.8 it still follows the same pattern as the cobblestone pre-Beta 1.7

a There is no storage block for redstone, coal or charcoal. It is annoying how there is a storage block for the rarest material (diamond) but not for the most common ones which often clog up a player's inventory.
 * I think the Diamond Block isn't intended as a storage block but rather a building block for bragging rights. --10.0.0.123 00:28, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
 * That's beside the point: it is useful for storage, as that guy brought up, and there are storage blocks for gold, iron, and lapis lazuli. I have several stacks of iron blocks I got from searching for diamonds. Why not redstone, coal and charcoal as well? Redstone DUST in particular, that sounds like something that could be easily made into a block. 192.168.70.95 13:02, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
 * If we have storage block for diamond, it doesn't make slightest sense to not have storage block for coal. In my opinion, there either should be no storage blocks or all storage blocks. If it was up to me, there would be storage block even for redstone, maybe this could function as vertical redstone wiring. Rate this is major annoyance, if there is consensus, I favor. 88.194.240.185
 * I second it. Redstone takes up so much space, and redstone - for quite a number of players, actually - is only useful in huge amounts. The ability to craft blocks of redstone could also add some mechanics that Minecraft desperately needs, like if you left click/right click/step on a block of redstone it would send a signal (the latter differs from a regular pressure plate in that a piston could extend over the block with no pressure plates popping off the ground). Or maybe a block of redstone would send a signal if it detected a block update - that way we could make some really interesting circuits without utilizing bugs or giant BUD switches. 91.144.213.35 20:20, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that this is an annoyance. That said, it's not all too difficult to simply build another chest or four. 72.39.232.254 03:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * You can't carry a chest full of redstone with you, though. Whereas you can carry a stack of 64 blocks of iron that you can craft into 9 stacks of iron ingots. It would be very helpful if you could do this with coal and redstone as well. 108.85.91.228 05:28, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
 * This should be moved to either the mc forums or discussion page as it is unrelated to the update. Getjack 21:40, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * important discussion Do not comment at this page

a While holding down right-click to place blocks, the animation cycles very fast even when when blocks are not being placed (such as when looking down). Pareidolon 05:28, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

a If vines is hanging near or over the fences (not touching any other blocks) it is possible to jump over the fences and fence gates. Not tested if mobs can do that.188.147.25.188 14:44, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

a Cobwebs cannot be collected with Silk Touch.
 * they never were, the reason is that the tool for cobwebs is shears and/or sword. Both items can not be enchanted with silk touch
 * That's true, but it certainly would be nice if there were a workaround. Many of my constructions would be improved by the availibility of decorative cobwebs. (changing to annoyance) --72.208.204.70 13:44, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * You don't need a workaround. You have shears. —烏Γ ''

(kaw), 22:24, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Shears still give you a piece of string, not a cobweb.

a Pumpkins can't be placed in the air without a block underneath it. This is just annoying, considering players can just place then remove the block under it without it "popping" off the ground.

Crafting/Enchanting/Brewing/Interface
Bugs Annoyances a! The enchanting system has always, and continues to be frustratingly unfair. sometimes producing Efficiency III when a level 50 enchant is used. Considering you need to kill NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE zombies/creepers etc, to get to Level 50, users are naturally in consensus that, to quote Yahtzee Croshaw, the ratio of difficulty to find versus actual usefulness is completely arbitrary. While we respect the mystique Mojang have tried to create about enchanting, the numbers need serious review. Kizzycocoa

a Potions are not in Item Selection in Creative Mode. 75.14.204.87 06:30, 24 February 2012 (UTC) a cr Netherbrick Stairs are not located with the other 4 stair types in Creative Item Select. Raiu tree 02:02, 24 February 2012 (UTC) a cr The creative item selection does not resize when gui scale is small.--62.65.219.67 12:33, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Would be impossible to add all! Getjack
 * Couldn't only one version of each Potion be used. Since there is multiple ways to make some potions. ZuppaHD
 * Actually, there are hundreds that you probably haven't even heard of such as sparkling potion and lucky potion. They exist, but have no use or way to get them. They are in the code and can be spawned in.
 * Really? Mind sharing how?
 * For that matter, the entire creative mode item menu could be better categorized and aligned to make things easier to find. With potentially 4096 different blocks, something will have to be done here. And on the topic, it would be great if you could middle click any block to select it, rather than just the blocks in your hot bar. It's never in the damn hot bar :).

undefined Able to access inventory while in the bed (Causing the character model to appear laying)

Fixed/Skipped a! cr End Portals (and End Return Portals) are not in Item Selection in Creative Mode. The portals can be destroyed in Creative, so if a griefer (or a player accidentally) breaks the portal, there will be no way to replace them.
 * Known bug. Moved to skipped. Getjack 20:14, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Skipped is only for Mojang use, to mark that they plan to leave it as is. Unless Jeb has previously said that he won't change this, it should be moved back to annoyance. 108.85.91.228 02:03, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

undefined You can't grow mushrooms to giant mushrooms with bone meal

!! su cr In Camera Mode [F5 Then F9]. You need to use the camera controls (IJKL,NM)) and then Move around using the WASD Keys. There is no gravity and when you go back to Normal mode. You stick at the same Height. *Ruins Your World If you Try it !*
 * It happened to me without even trying it!(the gravity thing)
 * I had the same thing but I randomly pressed buttons and brought it back working again. I think it was the F6 key.*
 * I tried what you described (pressing F5 then F9, then walking down a few blocks) I was still affected by gravity and returning to normal mode didn't have any affect. Tried both survival and creative.

! smp the old "chunkloaderror", which was more or less completly gone in 1.8 and higher, is now back. You pretty often get a chunk thats completly invisible in SMP. -JL !  New camera debug features overwrites jump. You just fly through bugs. In Creative/Survival, you cannot get down from your floating state. In Survival, you get hurt when you walk through blocks. undefined The Mac version of the Paste shortcut, Command-V, cannot be executed within Minecraft. Ctrl-V works and uses the actual Mac clipboard. NOTE: This bug has been around since Beta 1.3.
 * Actually, this is because there was a fix for it in Bukkit. You are experiencing it now because bukkit isn't updated, so the server your playing on clearly doesn't have it. -DearKing - February 24, 2012 - 9:47 PM
 * I am playing on my own pure vanilla server since beta 1.6. I never used bukkit.- JL February 25, 2012
 * I can confirm this on Windows 7 x64, running Java 6, update 31. (update 29 for x64) Tylup 01:53, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

x Snow and Mycelium don't show up on maps.

x Giant mushrooms cannot be grown above the cloud level.

undefined Players and mobs can breathe from under lava, even though they're not supposed to.
 * This is because they are meant to burn to death before drowning.
 * Even with a Potion of Fire Resistance they can still breathe under lava.

x smp Flying over a pressure plate while not touching it is constantly activating/deactivating it. However, it doesn't do that when jumping over it (it doesn't activate it).

x It is possible to get infinite iron using a glitch that creates iron golems but doesn't use up the iron blocks, as seen in this video:

undefined Trees grown with bonemeal above cloud level will not turn up to be small, consuming the bonemeal. Big trees show up, and they can be small when not grown with bonemeal.

Annoyances a! cr While flying in water or lava, horizontal movement is slowed to a crawl and vertical movement is very fast. This bug has been around for as long as Creative Mode has.

a! The range of characters in font.txt is very limited considering the multilinguality of Minecraft. It should be updated so that more characters are available, because it is hard for foreign Minecraft players to communicate on servers if they cannot type using their own script. (Updating font.txt would also enable using the same font for all the languages.)

a! Boats break too easily. Boat physics need an overhaul. color="Purple">nou - talk × contribs » 10:21, 16 February 2012 (UTC) anyway? I could see them breaking if you ram into something full-tilt, but they definitely should not pop from the slightest scrape the way they do now. --72.208.204.70 05:42, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * This is not a bug (boats were made easier to break in 1.0.0). You can hold the sneak key to avoid damage. <font color="Blue">C <font color="Orange">ali <font
 * This has always seemed like a major annoyance to me, and with little sense. Even more now that they are weaker. Skaruts 11:36, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I thought boats were made harder to break in Minecraft 1.0. Still, I have to say boats are still weak, especially to lily pads. -ThingsStuffsObjects 04:58 17 February, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, their extreme fragility makes automatic boat dispensers, canals, locks, etc. an incredible hassle to set up. How does constantly-breaking boats improve the player experience at all,
 * Indeed. It was always a hassle to make legitimate canals and docks - I mean without exploiting water physics or anything - and even more so now. Even to players who sail in the most legitimate way, it's a very disconcerting factor to the fun element of boats. Skaruts 08:51, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

aThere is no way to type the section sign (§) from within Minecraft, and it can only be entered by pasting it, which cannot be done while writing on signs(but one can use # instead of it)

a In F5 view mode, we can't see the block we want to target, because of our avatar being in the middle of the view, so it would be great to have an other view like that : Another F5 View

a When in a swamp i encountered a shadow on my sword, it occurred in the same area every time and DID NOT PERSIST through re-logging (ssp) link to pic: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/100/20120223175125.png/

a Using F6 to 'phase' into a block, you will suffocate.

a The obvious camera angles are back, they are quite annoying. I think they should be in every snapshot, but not the full releases. Just add an extra GUI button in options to enable/disable them. If added in vanilla instead of an accidental leave in from debug tools, it should be included in the controls, and of course the gui in options to enable/disable. 75.14.204.87 06:59, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

a When I press F10 the camera starts to move less directly (like intended), but when I press F10 again, the camera doesn't switch back to the state it normally does. Only tested in SP Creative, but I think this happens in every game mode. It might have to do with my computer being not the best one ever, but I never had this problem before.

a Arrows can't be picked up if shot in creative. MrX13415 16:30, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

a Golden Apples are useless. They have been outclassed by the Potion of Regeneration ever since it was introduced, but now this is even more so ever since they were nerfed. It would make sense for Golden Apples to be the ingredient for the Potion of Regeneration instead of the Ghast Tear (with the Ghast Tear being used for some other potion instead.) Alternately, one or more of: increasing the apple's regen duration by 2 or 3x, removing the time it takes to eat them, or giving them an additional effect (possibly from the list of not-currently-used potion effects).
 * golden apples are useful to players who havent visited the nether yet and havent gathered any blaze-rods and so havent crafted any brewing stand and so cant brew any potions. they are useful. they only get obsolete when you get a brewing stand.
 * I disagree -- not even then. The time it takes to eat one compared to the amount of health you get makes them useless in a tense combat situation, and if you aren't in combat you're better off eating bread and waiting for your health to regen naturally, saving the gold. --72.208.204.70 13:33, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

a Feathers and Ink Sacs need more uses. Feathers' arrow recipe is outclassed by killing skeletons and Ink Sacs are only used for dyes which are unnecessary because sheep of those colors can be found naturally.
 * Darker sheep are somewhat rare, so it's convenient to have a way to make your own gray/black sheep.

a Need smooth stone and sandstone stairs, netherbrick slabs, and glass and lapis versions of both. --72.208.204.70 14:05, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

a Lapis Lazuli dye also needs more uses. You only need four to get all coloured wool you want and, except this, you'll never need it again. Compare it with Redstone: about the same abundance, same drop rate, but infinitely more useful.
 * At least it can be made into a Lapis Lazuli Block (which looks really cool). It doesn't really have much practical uses other than that, though, I agree.
 * Actually, lapis is rather important. You'll eventually run out of dye.

a Coal and Charcoal cannot be stacked
 * Do you mean together? This is because charcoal is a different data value (263:1 vs 263)
 * That is true, but it doesn't make sense. Coal and charcoal look the same and do exactly the same. Why not simply make charcoal to coal so that they can be stacked? 134.95.46.107

a Music Disc "where are we now" is still missing.
 * This is because of the spaces.
 * Could this be fixed by renaming the file to replace spaces with "_" and add code for the disk of course. Plus on language files have it say the correct name for the song with spaces. ZuppaHD

a Double doors mess up when switching to anvil [[media:lol.png]]
 * this was mentioned by jeb and is nothing serious, just fix them, they can't change it anymore and we have to live with this minor annoyance
 * To clarify what the above poster said: replace the incorrect door and things will be fine. Hardly even a minor annoyance unless you have a lot of old double doors.

a While clay balls can be crafted into blocks of clay, blocks of clay cannot be crafted back into clay balls. This gets annoying when crafting them to save space in the inventory, and you have to place them and break them again when you get home.
 * Snowballs / blocks are similar.
 * Is it really that much trouble to break the block? It takes about the same amount of time as crafting it would, and you don't even need a tool.
 * Not so much an issue for clay balls (as the drop rate is 4), but for snow it takes 4 to create a block, but the drop rate is only 2-4, thereby netting a loss every time a block is remade and broken.

a sp There seem to be a lot of ambient noises in unfitting areas (i.e. in the trees during the day time.)

! Iron golems respawn way too often under ridiculous conditions, making very easy to set up and game breaking iron farms possible: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5U2GBuUxAU
 * But you need to be in Creative mode to have that many villagers in one box like that- Not quite as much a deal-breaker as is stated, but still I do agree the spawn rate under these circumstances is too high. 72.93.203.122 21:55, 24 February 2012 (UTC)Wizzard1
 * you can easily get that many villagers into one room in survival. just go to a villlage, build some dirt houses so they repopulate, and then move them with minecarts

! spIf you let a cat sit in a offline game, save and play then online (not multiplayer) you can't let the cat stand and move. The cat don't respond. It also works vice versa, when you play online and then offline. Tested in flat world and creative.
 * This is a bug that has been around as long as wolves have, and is not restricted to any OS. The reason is that cats and dogs are bound to the player by their name, even in singleplayer, and Minecraft treats "Player" (the name of the player in offline mode) as a separate player from your identity in online mode. I agree that this is a problem. If possible, a special exception should be made for singleplayer so that single-player tames will obey anyone.
 * that could have problems in some servers that lets you change your name if you changed it to player everyone would be able to use the wolf and it wouldn't know where to go.Darkychao 04:22, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * A simpler solution would be to use whatever username was entered in offline mode, instead of 'Player'. This would avoid needing special-case code for wolves, cats, and any other player-specific features added in the future. -- Orthotope
 * This still doesn't deal with the case of someone with multiple accounts, or a single-player world shared between two players. It also prevents proper use of tamed animals in downloadable maps. In fact, it's not even possible to implement it without altering the launcher, since the current version provides no way to know the entered name when the game is started in offline mode. The ideal solution is to ignore the player name entirely in single player maps (and single player maps only). TLUL 03:38, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

! Villagers don't know how to take turns going through the door and will often be crowding in front of a door trying to get in.

 * Hasn't this been an intended feature since wolves were first created? —烏Γ ''(kaw), 22:15, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, wild wolves are intended to kill sheep by themselves, a reference to numerous children stories. ThingsStuffsObjects 14:11, 25 February 2012
 * Indeed, but the OP says tamed wolves are doing it, which which sounds like a bug. --72.208.204.70 18:40, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

undefined Child villagers seem to have the same hit boxes as adult villagers - you can still hit them even when the crosshairs are aimed at the block above their heads. Because of this, they cannot walk through an opening that is anything less than 2 blocks high even though they appear to be approximately 1 block high. 82.69.54.207
 * This would make sense, since if the child were to grow up and become an adult in a 1-block-high space, it would suffocate and die. —烏Γ ''(kaw), 22:15, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

 * This has been reported many times. I myself think this is a feature Yoshidude56 16:56, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * This indeed catches many people's eyes, and I'll say it again: if wolves are intended to change color because they're wet, why don't sheep? or wool blocks? We could go on and on about this... GhengopelALPHA
 * Its not a bug, for the last time. Extra code is required to make it happen, and it works fine, therefore it isn't a bug. (Including the shaking-to-get-dry animation.) Suggesting that other animals should have a similar animation doesn't make this a bug (maybe they should? I don't know).
 * The quibble was more that they became /too/ dark when they get wet, not that they become dark/er/. Haven't seen them on 12w08a yet, so maybe the darkening effect has finally been toned down sufficiently. 82.69.54.207

Annoyances

a! Due to the new world height, mobs now spawn exactly half as quick, because the game chooses a random location in the complete 256-block range. The mob will now often not spawn because it chooses a spot in midair.

a Iron golems wander off, making them be very bad at defending.

a Iron golems have a villager look, making it unappealing when a player makes them.

a Iron golems tilt a tad too much when walking.

a Villagers seem to always try to enter the same house so often one or two of the village houses are overfull while others are empty.

a Iron Golems cause lag when looked at.

a cr When using dye on sheep, bones on wolves, and fish on ocelots, the items are used up in Creative mode.

? Snow Golems die when it is snowing. This also happens when rain touches them, but it seems strange that it happens when snow hits them.
 * Makes sense physically since snow is technically just altered rain, but otherwise you're right. —烏Γ ''(kaw), 22:15, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, as a suggestion, falling snow heal a snow golem. If rain hurts it, shouldn't snow heal it? (wait, will a snow golem run for cover when it's raining?)Zoythrus 17:09, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

a Mobs utilizing the new AI system will wander directly into the Void if it is 1-2 blocks below. This appears to be due to only checking the amount of air blocks they would fall. The old AI system would prevent mobs from wandering into the Void.

a When holding wheat and making animals follow you, they move very buggy. They don't know how to take turns going through doorways, they sometimes randomly stop following you, and sometimes when there's a perfectly obvious path to you, they just stand there and wait until you re-position yourself.

Mobs
Bugs !! On at least some computers, trying to spawn an iron golem manually will lock up minecraft as soon as the pumpkin is placed, and upon re-starting it on the same save data the 4 iron blocks will be gone (though the pumpkin will strangely still be in your inventory).Attempted it on a AMD Turion[tm] 64 mobile and tried at least 4 times to spawn an iron golem.

!Zombies will not see you if you are in a house with the door shut. Opening it makes him see you, but closing it makes you practically invisible.

! When creating an Iron Golem the block directly above the Iron Golem's head is destroyed to make room for the head. This even happens to Bedrock, so it can be used to get on top of the Nether, or grief End Portals as well as the Bedrock in the End.

undefined Iron golems don't protect villager's homes from theft and block destruction.

undefined Creepers on half blocks do not explode full radius of blocks, only the half block directly beneath them.

undefined Iron Golems can't get up a 1 block high step out of water.

undefined When Iron Golems get in minecarts, you can't get them out without killing them. Looks like their collision mask overides that of the minecart, so right-clicking or shooting the cart will affect the golem instead.

undefined Sometimes Iron Golem texture is completely invisible. undefined Zombies smash down doors on ANY difficulty.
 * I'm also getting this problem, playing vanilla w/o texture packs. I've checked the .jar, and the texture's definetely there in the Mob folder, but it's not being applied to the model. Same thing happens with a custom texture pack.TenhGrey 17:15, 23 February 2012 (UTC) Whitegolem.png
 * For me, the golem is completly invisible, not even white. I can see the rose in its hand time to time, but thats it. I tried re-installing the snapshot, and even deleting and re-downloading Minecraft. Nothing will work to fix it. Hopefully in 1.2 or the debug snapshot it will be fixed. KntQq.pngmen 18:29, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Invisible for me too, when I tried creating a few in creative mode on Mac OS 10.5.8. I can see its shadow, and the particles kicked up when it moves, and that's it. It can still attack, which I confirmed by changing game mode to hard 82.69.54.207
 * There is a fix for this by cadu1990 on http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1050658-iron-golem-broken/, overwriting the texture with a 128x128 equivalent. Confirmed on a Windows 7 x64 with a weak on-board video card.
 * I tried that. Minecraft wouldn't load with the .jar that had the fixed texture. Endermen 11:05, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The Iron Golem will act completely normal, it is just the texture is blank

undefined If you build a Iron golem in the ground you can push him through the adjancents blocks.

undefined Iron Golems don't have ANY texture (not even white), will lag a lot due to it and will aqquire the color of the dimension (blue for overworld, red for nether and black for end).
 * This is a problem for me because my village lags up every time they spawn, but I have no way to kill them. Yoshidude56 22:30, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

undefined If you ride a pig in a minecart forward on track for a little, when you run out of track the pig will continue to pull the minecart forward on land slowly, but infinitely. The pig will even continue until it drowns in a body of water, ejecting the player from the minecart.

? Cave spiders can fight water currents in 1-high tunnels, bug or features?
 * Cave spiders are smaller than regular spiders, enabling them to get thru 1-high areas. Mob movement in water was also recently changed. Feature probably.
 * ok, that seems to break most of the spider transportation in traps. they fight the currents if they see the player, which is most of the time if the player stays in the "active zone" and move with the "new system"...

a Zombie pigmen attack iron golems individually when provoked, not in groups.
 * Could be intentional due to the fact that the pigmen would kill the golems fairly easily. (When in large groups) ZuppaHD
 * Im not sure, pigmen used to attack snow golems in groups in 1.1 but also that stopped.

a Iron Golems sometimes attack Snow Golems, if the Snow Golem(s) is/are attacking something else, such as a Spider.

undefined Iron Golems can hit you through glass panes.

undefined Creatures don't spawn when using spawn eggs.


 * Don't forget to set difficulty on easy or higher to spawn hostile mobs.

? Iron Golems are way too slow to defend their village. They also dont see long enough.
 * Probably intentional considering their large health pools and respawn. Sight radius might be to prevent them wandering due to stray zombies that aren't threatening the village.
 * If they could deal with all zombies nearly instantly, what would be the point of repopulating? Point is: Golems need to get beat to the punch and fail to defend a villager or villagers from time to time, so that villager breeding is a regularly used function. Circle of life and all that. Also: One would think the golems are there primarily to prevent the village from going extinct, first and foremost.

a Zombies turn around while walking on fence.

a! Snow Golems are plagued with serious issues. They cannot produce snow in PLAINS, SWAMPS and MUSHROOM BIOMES. This is clearly unintended, as plains and swamps are not generally considered hot biomes, and they do not kill the snow golems. The mushroom biome behavior MAY be intended due to the mycelium, but it is still unlikely. Snow golems also die in seconds if they are crafted in the falling snow. The falling snow is probably considered as "precipitation", causing the issue.

a! Hordes of mobs will spawn at your location when converting a world, causing difficulty when moving inside small houses.
