Notice 
Old bugs from Version 1.8 should be tested in pre-release 2 and then moved to here if they still exist
This Minecraft Wiki page is about Version 1.8 pre-release 2. For Version 1.8 pre-release 1, see Known bugs/Version 1.8. For all other versions, see Known bugs.
This page has been semi-protected to keep the page tidy and help combat vandalism. If you are not logged in and wish to contribute a bug, go to the Talk page.

This page's purpose is to list all the bugs players have come across in version 1.8 pre-release 2. They pertain to the unmodified, unhacked game. Most of the single-player bugs also apply to multi-player.

Version history also contains newer bugs that may not be listed on this page at the moment. Refresh often as well, this page is changing a lot while we get things organized.

Bugs and feature requests can now be logged at Get Satisfaction: Mojang.
