== Files ==
 
*For new maps, the MB size in the world file under the Singleplayer menu will not change, it will stay at 0 MB. For existing worlds, the size in MB will not change when exploring new areas.

*Vines currently cannot be climbed.<ref>http://twitter.com/notch/status/109617302172991489</ref>
== Gameplay ==
 
*Holding the jump button will not continue to keep the player jumping, the player will only jump once until the button is pressed again, though, this feature will still work while in water.
 
   
  +
*If blocks are placed near a vine (such as the case of having a house built in a swamp biome, for instance), vines will start growing on the wall.
== Memory/CPU General==
 
*Excessive lag on new or existing worlds, even if new chunks are not being created and all graphical settings are on Fast/Off. Possible memory leak.
 
   
  +
* Vines can grow in any direction when placed on a block. When there is no block next to the block where the vine is on it can grow to the side of the block. The vine can even grow up.
== Sound ==
 
  +
*Chests will not produce any sound when opening or closing.
 
  +
* Like [[sign]]s and [[ladders]], only one vine may occupy a given block.
   
  +
* When vines grow they don't need a block below them to attach to. However the topmost vine needs a block to be attached to. If that block is destroyed all vines below it are destroyed.
   
  +
* Vines cannot be placed directly on blocks like chests, workbenches and cobweb. However, they can be grown around them.

  +
* Vines are flammable.
  +
  +
* Vines are most effectively destroyed by water. Vines on a mountain, for example, can be easily flushed away by putting a water source block on the mountain.
  +
  +
* Vines block mobs' line of sight, so it is possible to sneak up on mobs by hiding behind vines.
  +
  +
* You cannot place vines directly below blocks but they can grow under blocks.
  +
  +
* When placed on a wall that is touching the bottom of a block, the vine will also attach to the bottom of the block.
  +
  +
* Vines have the same color as foliage has in a specific biome.
  +
  +
* When harvesting hanging vines it is important to remember to work from the bottom upwards for maximum yield. Breaking a hanging vine will destroy all sections lower than it but will only yield one piece of vine, regardless of how many pieces were destroyed.

* Vines have the ability to support sand and gravel. However, unlike other such blocks, vines will be destroyed when sand or gravel attempts to occupy the space adjacent to the vines.
  +
 
== Trivia ==
  +
* Vines' grey shade in the terrain.png means that its color varies between biomes.
  +
* At PAX, Vines hadn't been given a name, and a mouse over would not give a title. This implies that they didn't have an official name at the time.

* The player is able to walk through vines. <ref>http://twitter.com/jeb_/status/110059143934652417</ref>

* Vines, when held, and viewed through third-person view or held by another player, have a gray texture.
  +
* Multiple vines can be in the same block space. but count as one block for most purposes.
  +
*The player cannot place Vines under another vine where there is no blocks (Just how vines hang off the trees that are naturally generated.) To do so, the player will need to put a block under the block of the original vine, place the vines on that block and destroy it, the vines will then hang off the first vine. If the vine that is on the block is destroyed, each other hanging vine will be destroyed as well.

On Sept 13, Notch said<ref>https://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/113547746585214976</ref> that he would change the vines to spread infinitely down, but would not grow other directions if there are more than four other vine blocks nearby.

Vines[1] (sometimes mistaken as Ivy) were included in the Adventure Update and are placeable on walls and ceilings.[2][3] They also hang on leaves in Swamps.[4] As of Beta 1.8.1, they take as long to break as leaves and drop nothing. However, they are collectable by using shears.

  • Vines currently cannot be climbed.[5]
  • If blocks are placed near a vine (such as the case of having a house built in a swamp biome, for instance), vines will start growing on the wall.
  • Vines can grow in any direction when placed on a block. When there is no block next to the block where the vine is on it can grow to the side of the block. The vine can even grow up.
  • Like signs and ladders, only one vine may occupy a given block.
  • When vines grow they don't need a block below them to attach to. However the topmost vine needs a block to be attached to. If that block is destroyed all vines below it are destroyed.
  • Vines cannot be placed directly on blocks like chests, workbenches and cobweb. However, they can be grown around them.
  • Vines are flammable.
  • Vines are most effectively destroyed by water. Vines on a mountain, for example, can be easily flushed away by putting a water source block on the mountain.
  • Vines block mobs' line of sight, so it is possible to sneak up on mobs by hiding behind vines.
  • You cannot place vines directly below blocks but they can grow under blocks.
  • When placed on a wall that is touching the bottom of a block, the vine will also attach to the bottom of the block.
  • Vines have the same color as foliage has in a specific biome.
  • When harvesting hanging vines it is important to remember to work from the bottom upwards for maximum yield. Breaking a hanging vine will destroy all sections lower than it but will only yield one piece of vine, regardless of how many pieces were destroyed.
  • Vines have the ability to support sand and gravel. However, unlike other such blocks, vines will be destroyed when sand or gravel attempts to occupy the space adjacent to the vines.

  • Vines' grey shade in the terrain.png means that its color varies between biomes.
  • At PAX, Vines hadn't been given a name, and a mouse over would not give a title. This implies that they didn't have an official name at the time.
  • The player is able to walk through vines. [6]
  • Vines, when held, and viewed through third-person view or held by another player, have a gray texture.
  • Multiple vines can be in the same block space. but count as one block for most purposes.
  • The player cannot place Vines under another vine where there is no blocks (Just how vines hang off the trees that are naturally generated.) To do so, the player will need to put a block under the block of the original vine, place the vines on that block and destroy it, the vines will then hang off the first vine. If the vine that is on the block is destroyed, each other hanging vine will be destroyed as well.

Griefing

In the 1.8 pre-release, the rate at which vines spread made them the newest tool for griefers.

On Sept 13, Notch said[7] that he would change the vines to spread infinitely down, but would not grow other directions if there are more than four other vine blocks nearby.
