  • Beta 1.6.6 PC features

  • Trying to sleep in the Nether causes the bed to explode.
  • It’s no longer possible to build solid blocks on the top layer of the map.
  • Booster tracks are now speedier to offset the loss of glitch-boosters.
  • Fire has been severely nerfed so it spreads slower, and doesn’t spread infinitely.

Notable bugs:

  • Pouring water from a bucket may cause it to either leave an extra water source, or leave no water source when pouring the water out.
  • Sometimes blocks will not be selected when looked at (No outline, can't mine them, etc.). Looking at another face of the block may select it, but looking back to the other face again still does not work. Occurs near the edge of the map (Could be due to world limit? Confusing, however, because some blocks can be broken but others can't)
  • Crafting a Cake does not return the buckets.
  • Passive Mobs sometimes can't be damaged when they are standing in Tall Grass.
  • Stone stairs (possibly wooden as well) sometimes glitch out and appear as a full cobblestone block.
  • Pressing face-b while in bed will permanently delete the item you are holding, instead of dropping it.
  • Passive mobs, when attacked in tall grass, get stuck and can still be attacked.
  • Spiders will sometimes lose their ability to move when they are hit in tall grass.
  • Game crashes whenever 2 (and/or possibly more) players finishing mining the same block.
  • Game crashes when you enter or leave the Nether.
  • Game crashes whenever a player changes a filter to what might be Worldwide.
  • Sometimes when interacting with a furnace, the interface freezes after closing out of the tutorial text.
  • "Shift-Clicking" as you would in minecraft PC while sleeping, you can see your head and move your head around while sleeping.
  • In certain situations, when you go to bed, your head will not be on the bed, but rather, behind it.
  • Maps are stored within a player's profile and thus, you can't share your map with others.
  • Sometimes animals get in the way while blocks are being placed, this causes the block to disappear.
  • Minecarts with furnaces can't push other carts. Instead: they will get stuck and some graphic error will happen between carts.
  • Sometimes when sleeping in split screen, multiple zombies and skeletons will spawn beside the beds in spite of lighting and players will wake up without skipping to the dawn. (This is also outside of split screen due to the old "2-block rule" bug. Just place your bed(s) away from the walls for now)
  • Split-screen is only working when using HDTV + HDMI or component cable. Possibly not a bug but should definitely be fixed.
  • Sometimes clouds don't move.
  • Sugar Canes are solid (You can't walk through them).
  • Arrows often glitch.
  • Mobs sometimes do not take damage when hit in the legs.
  • Wooden stairs repeat the same shadow on the underside.
  • Sometimes, the game freezes while saving your map.
  • The game will always freeze when you Exit and Save.
