Version Date of Addition Additions Summary
1.2.3 March 2, 2012

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed light bug causing a crash at height 255.
  • Corrected Zombies and Skeletons not burning in sunlight.
    • With this, fixed all natural light (not torchlight) being 1 lightlevel darker than it should be, except at world creation.
  • Corrected birch and spruce saplings not growing at height > 127.

Bugs:

  • Doors and beds cannot be placed in snow, unlike other blocks which will replace the snow.
  • Vines turn grey ( like in terrain.png) when pressing f5 outside of the height limit
  • If a Redstone Lamp is destroyed and picked up while it is ON, it will be considered as a different block type to its OFF counterpart.
  • Aggressive Mobs will sometimes stop and spin circles, then continue attacking the player.
  • Cave spiders pushed by water will stop when running into any solid or non-solid block, even when there is an empty space below them.
  • Wolves can sometimes despawn in SMP.
  • Light seems to flicker a lot even though it's pitch black(random flickers of light with out any light source), it's noticed the most when the brightness is all the way up.
  • Glass can no longer be picked up using Silk Touch
  • Sometimes sun's/moon's light shines through blocks lighting up whole caves.[1]
  • In 1.2.3 SMP after logging in, Minecarts and Mobs that you could interact with on previous login are no longer interactive. Blocks can be destroyed through these objects. Minecarts can be pushed but you can't jump in them or interact with Minecart with Chests. Here is an example video of what is still happening in 1.2.3. [2]
1.2.2 March 1, 2012

Bug Fixes:

  • "Uploaded Minecraft 1.2.2 because birches and pine trees were missing..."
    • Big trees, swamp trees and giant mushrooms generation fixed too.
  • Snow appears on Maps again.

Bugs:

  • Enchanted Tools and Armor have their labels glitched.
  • If a player builds to the height limit, and stands on top of that structure, the game will crash with a false "saving chunks" screen.
  • Iron Golems become passive when in water.
  • Looking upwards towards the sky can sometimes cause the game to randomly crash without a crash log.
  • In converted maps placing a block sometimes cause the game to crash with the "saving chunks" screen and without a crash log.
1.2.1 March 1, 2012

Bug Fixes:

Bugs:

  • Very rare generation of big trees and birches in Forest, pines in Taiga, swamp trees in Swamps, Giant Mushrooms in Mushroom Biomes.
  • Snow doesn't appear on maps.
  • F3 takes more resources than before (but less in SMP), making the game unplayable on old computers.
  • The biome "FrozenRiver" and "DesertHills" does not have a space like other biomes (e.g. "Ice Mountains").
  • Mushrooms are generated on bedrock layer in The Nether.
  • In SMP, the cloud shadows aren't sometimes under a cloud, because clouds are different at each client, but the shadow remains same.
  • Some entities will at times act as if they are not present, even though they are. They cannot be interacted with, and clicking on them will cause things behind them to activate, as if they weren't there. These are not the same as the "ghost entities" bug that existed previously, as the entities in question are actually there and can often be interacted with both before and after this bug is observed.
