Wooden doors don't open
When you try to open a wooden door in singleplayer with either left or right clicking, it does not open.

Trying to close an already opened wooden door (from a a 1.9pre5 world), does work. But after that it will stay stuck in closed. Unset 16:11, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * See https://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/status/135022340957409280 --Ianweller 16:14, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it was not my hand, that closed the door in my old 1.9pre5, but an Block Update, that detected not any redstone power. Unset 16:22, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Mobs still spawn inside trees and chests spin around it's left-top instead of middle
Hey, I noticed that I have a sheep inside a tree's leaves here... ( http://i44.tinypic.com/2qmf85k.png ) and dropped chests spin around it's left top instead of middle like regular drops. --Diamondo25 16:20, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Wolves are almost black when they are in rain
Yea, it's color goes back by 60% or so. --Diamondo25 16:23, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * This seems a good picture: http://i41.tinypic.com/bvakz.png --Diamondo25 16:27, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Torches cannot be placed on half blocks
On the 1.9pre5 bug page, it says "[F] Torches cannot be placed on half blocks" but they still cannot be placed on them.
 * What do you want? A flying torch? --Diamondo25 16:50, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * No, but it should not say fixed, should it? --Gitterrost4 16:52, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Did you form a full block from half-blocks? I believe the fix only applied to full blocks that are formed from half-blocks.--66.133.216.4 17:30, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah this makes sense. Thank you. --Gitterrost4 17:43, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Detector Rail signal has the same length when 2 minecarts drive over it
The signal of the Detector Rail has got the same length when one minecart drives above it and a second comes when the signal of the Detector Rail is still on.

Can't open door by right clicking either in NPC village
I'm standing in front of a house in a NPC village, and I can't open the door by either right or left clicking. Double door-open sound is heard by both actions. --Diamondo25 16:30, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Might be the same bug...? --Diamondo25 16:36, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

NPC villages are able to spawn on water...
Yea, in the same village as my last report, some part of it is located on a lake lol ( http://i39.tinypic.com/259ibko.png ) --Diamondo25 16:32, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Tall gras in NPC-house
I found dirt-blocks on the ground with tall gras, in a small NPC-House.

(picture: )


 * I already know that bug, it isnt new. That bug could easily be fixed in giving the npc houses a floor instead of dirt. So its confirmed but not new. [2011-11-11]

Linux key sticking bugs
Since there's now per-OS icons for the bug list, I'd like to add the following from the common Known bugs page:
 * Directional keys commonly become stuck, causing a player to continue moving in a certain direction until they bring up a GUI, This also happens with jumping.

I have tested this again on 1.9pre6. Anybody have a problem with adding that? --Ianweller 16:33, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

I had exactly the same problem (also linux) you can fix it by updating the LWJGL library. So the real bug would be: Minecraft does not ship with the latest version of LWJGL. (Tutorials/Update LWJGL) --81.210.192.14 18:13, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Bounding box of wheat is too low/doesn't increase in height per state
Might be intentional? --Diamondo25 16:35, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * May not be intentional but it sounds like something they were limited upon doing as the states are just damage value updates and prior to glass panes and iron bars being released there were absolutely no code (at least that was able to be seen for blocks) that resized bounding boxes due to the state. They were all completely static in shape. I see no reason why this couldn't be fixed now however. And yes, i am confirming this to be a bug. --Kalbintion 18:09, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Nothing can be placed on a Glowstone Block
I've noticed a bug where you cannot place anything, like Doors or Torches, on Glowstone. If you had anything on it Pre5 or prior, like a door, then it will pop off when you try to open or close it, and you cannot place it back on. So far, I've tried placing Doors and Torches on it, and both will not work. I also tried Vines, and they would not go on it, but I'm not sure if they could Pre5 or prior (Tested in Single Player Creative Mode). - A-6012 16:44, 11 November 2011 (GMT)

StoneBricks breaks as fast as stone or cobblestone
When you try to break stonebricks, its break as fast as stone or cobblestone
 * I think that is a feature, not a bug. --Unset 17:58, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Speed breaking bug with any tools
All tools will break blocks as fast as their material (wood, Iron, Diamond) regardless to the tool compatibility (stone blocks for pickaxe etc...) This available for wood blocks, soil blocks (dirt sand...).

This is available on Obsidian too but only diamond tools can break it.

Can stand on Lily Pads
In creativemode I can stand on lily pads in swamps. I havn't tested it in survivalmode or multiplayer. Pcgames3112 17:11, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * This is added as a feature, so no bug :) --Diamondo25 17:13, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Unlight torches from renders may still do no lightning update
I've searched for a stronghold, and I found a torch that didn't lit the place. --Diamondo25 17:14, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Experience resets after killing enderdragon
In creative mode I killed the dragon, collected xp and escaped The End. Upon coming back to Overworld my xp was gone.

Magma Cubes don't have jump animation in multiplayer
In multiplayer Magma Cubes don't show their "accordion" jump animation. Just tested and it's still in 1.9pre6. Not sure what to rank it as (minor or annoyance). KoreRekon

Enchantment in Creative
Shouldn't you be able to enchant your tools in creative mode, regardless of your xp? I find it rather annoying. Fracq Grenade   |   talk    contribs  17:30, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Table bug
if you touch table (wooden pressure plate on fence) than it activated. (sorry, my english is bad im polish)

Repeaters cannot power dispensers.
Has existed for quite a while now but after checking around the wiki etc, nowhere seems to mention this, so I probably should before release. Repeaters cannot power dispensers directly, or via a block, however if dust is used (with or without a block) the dispenser fires. -TheWyo 17:37, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Forgot to mention, both Multiplayer and Singleplayer tested. -TheWyo 17:38, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I have ran into this issue myself in the past, but found out that for some reason the dispenser would fire once the repeater becomes inactive (1 => 0) --Kalbintion 18:03, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Mob spawners always show pig in multiplayer
Any mob spawner will show a rotating pig in multiplayer, even if it is a zombie spawner, etc. Just checked with 1.9p6 and it's still there. KoreRekon


 * It has to be a bug, because i can remember that they used to be of the correct mob --86.52.2.125 19:52, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I seem to remember this bug from ... way back. 1.3 perhaps? I also remember that I have never noticed it being fixed in any version. -- Zaz
 * Really? I remember the bug back then too, but then remember it being fixed all the way up to when Abandoned Mine Shafts and Cave Spiders were added where only the new mobs then had issues with their corresponding mini-mob image. However, it does seem the full-blown bug is back. Maybe a side-effect of them trying to fix it for the new mobs? --Kalbintion 02:42, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Sun & Moon are Square
Not sure if it's a bug, may be intended behaviour. SMP. 86.184.4.40 17:51, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Not a bug, Notch abandoned the project of making the sun/moon round, due to democracy.  Fracq  Grenade   |   talk    contribs  18:07, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Bullet points are redundant before issue labels
Bullet points are redundant before issue labels, since the issue labels themselves act like bullet points (with added information). I'm trying to remove them, but it's quite hard, as my changes keep on being rolled back. If you don't think that this is a good idea, I'll stop at once so we can discuss it. —Immute [talk] 17:46, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Villagers have hood in texture file that does not show in game.
librarian.png, priest.png and villager.png have hoods, but none show in game. I created a texture pack giving all of the villagers hoods and still no hoods seen in game. RobotHacker 17:52, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Netherrack Fire Spread Bug
I noticed someone posted a comment in regards to the bug with Netherrack with exact quotation as "[!] When burning Netherrack in fireplace, fire is spread to upper floor thru stone floor/roof and burns wooden items and bookselfs on upper floor (at least in SMP)." I can confirm that I had have had this happened to me in SSP as well. Ended up having to replace a good 27 bookshelves due to it and my hallway to my portal being directly underneath with some lit netherrack nearby but a couple blocks under. --Kalbintion 18:03, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Credits Typo
In the ending credits, the coloring for

¬ß7Number crunching and statistics:

is incorrect. Patrick Geuder should be in white. (Sorry, this just bugged me. I like consistency ^^) Havokheli 18:19, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Is that really necessary? I think not. It is a visual bug that anyone who's watched at least a youtube video of the end has noticed. I'm sure Jeb is aware of it now as well, and unless someone can point to a legitimate thread in regards of any reasoning behind this I personally would assume bug. --Kalbintion 02:40, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Harvesting placed Rails with water
Under most circumstances water can be used to pick up items that have been placed on the ground, such as torches and rails. When water runs over a rail placed on a slope, though, the rails disappear. (On SSP for sure, have not tested SMP) --JeSuisNerd 18:21, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Slimes and Magma Cubes postion glitch in multiplayer
Often Slimes and Magma Cubes aren't located where they're shown, so you can't hit them. Sometimes this causes a graphical glitch where the "jump" up and down rapidly. Only in multiplayer. Seems to happen when they jump up a block, or attempt to jump up two blocks. KoreRekon

+1, I've seen this problem at least since pre5 if not earlier. Very annoying, especially since slimes are more common now. --174.253.6.217 19:45, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Critical Bugs
I think there should be some rebranding. What is more critical? Setting inventory to the scroll button causing a crash, or the fact that wooden doors CANNOT be opened without redstone. Yes, i know, pressure plates can be used, but thats a faf. You see creeper outside, and go near the door to look, and the door opens, and BOOM! But seriously, who has their inventory as the scroll button anyways? --Joeldamole789 18:41, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Ice/snow layers
In snowy biomes, instead of a ice layer on top of water ice blocks generate. Also, snow layers still seem to be glitchy. example picture
 * I can confirm the snow generation bug and had some interesting falls into a ravine, as for the ice thing, no idea what he's talking about, whoever he may be --Kalbintion 02:47, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Screenshoting bug
Try to save screenshot (f2) in windowed mode, then switch to full screen (f11) and save screenshot again. I take this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14150510/2011-11-11_22.39.01.png

experience "cloud" after killing the dragon
There used to be a bug that when you die, excessive amounts of experience float around. It's like that with the dragon in multiplayer, but afaict it does not stop. I walked around with a screen full of blobs until I jumped in the portal. I know it drops quite a bit experience, but this really looks like a bug. 77.164.81.181 19:31, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Dragon does not deal damage in multiplayer
Sometimes it flies straight at you, and when I don't hit it, it just flies straight through me. 77.164.81.181 19:35, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Melon are not mined as fast with an axe as pumpkins.
Both melons and pumpkins can be mined at the same speed with a pickaxe, but pumpkins are mined faster than melons with an axe.

Cloud setting in Video Settings changes when switching through GUI Scale settings
If you switch through the GUI Scale settings : "Small, Normal, Large, Auto" some times the Cloud setting changes from On to Off and so on, quite funny actually. Please try and confirm, thanks. [2011-11-11]
 * Confirmed, but only while game window is maximized KoreRekon

Rain makes no sound and a problem with bed
Silent rain and when I try to sleep, a message appears: "You may not rest now, there are monsters nearby" ChakAttack 21:04, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * That's the new bed functionality. Now you can't go to sleep if monsters are nearby, and you will no longer get woken up with a monster near you.  KoreRekon

Ocean floor and swamps terrain generation in MP
Maps generated in MP have some weird looking underwater terrain pattern... In SP everything is fine (tested on 5 maps), but MP maps have underwater terrain as "stripes", looks like some pattern misalignment... 217.26.18.6 21:29, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Command+Q doesn't quit the game on OS X
This problem is probably more to do with the launcher than the actual JAR file, but this bug drives me crazy and it seems like it should be working in a 1.0 game. Thoughts? 69.163.243.45 21:36, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Can't place torches?
I have noticed the in the version history for pre-release 6 that it is stated you can't place torches, levers or glowstone. I have no problem at all placing these items on blocks, walls or ground. -- Throex  '''TALK 22:31, 11 November 2011 (UTC)


 * It says, that you can't place torches, levers, etc on glowstone anymore. --Gitterrost4 22:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Ahh, selective reading in its prime example. haha -- Throex  '''TALK 22:36, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Trapdoor & Dispenser bugs
pre6 contains at least two trapdoor bugs:

- By placing redstone near (above or below) a trapdoor it opens (and some of the trapdoor arounding it) [The video is from pre5, but it still works in pre6]

- (As already mentioned) two or more redstone together in a row can't be opened. If you open the left one, then click on the right one, the left one closes

Additional the bug I posted from pre5 still persists;

Dispensers fire (when powered) everytime you place a redstone within a 7x7 area with the corners cut out. YouTube Video:

Create Lag using lava/water smoke
youtube.com/watch?v=KKeoJkct_EQ

Enough of these can auctally cause lag for the server. I think on a high speed, 5 can lag up a home run server.

Can't hit Bottom Part of a Blaze in SMP (but in SSP) with Swords/Pickaxes/whatever....
It seems that you can't hit the Bottom Part of a Blaze in SMP with something like a Sword if you are one Block away but in SSP you can (difficulty doesn't matter)... Is this a Bug or a Feature? Here a Video so you can understand what i mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEz1b-Agetc

Doors and Trapdoors can't keep up with a 1-clock
When I attach a piston to a 1-clock, it will extend and retract quickly. When I attach a door or a trapdoor, I can hear the sound of it opening and closing, but visually it doesn't change. Bug?
 * If the problem is what i think it is, the 1-clock is every single frame. Well, it gets power, the next frame its to show open, but wait it goes back off, and the visual update is rendered useless (whether or not it re-renders as closed as it is already closed is another problem in its own), would be interesting to know if this happens where the door stays open visually if you have it open on default. May not be a bug with this information that i'm thinking of but a side effect of having game frames and not true real-time --Kalbintion 02:38, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Items Disappearing
Whenever I die and close the game, regardless of if I respawned before closing or not, all the items I dropped disappear.

I'm not sure if I described that properly, but it's more than a little bit annoying when I'm carrying around loot after a mining trip and die, just for my inventory's contents to vanish entirely. --50.98.131.131 03:25, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
