Test bugs from the 1.9pre4 known bugs and add them here if they still exist
The fifth pre-release for Beta 1.9 has been recently released by Jeb.
Use the Discussion page first before adding any bugs onto this page. Bugs can be confirmed by checking into the discussion page and make sure other people reply to your report and have the same problem.
Bugs
Bug Labels:
- [X] = Minor bugs.
- [!] = Major bugs.
- [!!] = Bugs that can crash Minecraft or a server.
- [?] = Possible bugs/features that you and the community (on the discussion page) are unsure about.
- [A] = Annoyances.
- [U] = Bugs that Jeb tested but was unable to reproduce.
- [F] = Bugs that have been fixed in the next update.
- [S] = Bugs that will be skipped/ignored for now.
Blocks
- [!] If you build a Gravel/Sand tower(≤ 3 blocks) on a Piston (connected to a clock) most of the Gravel/Sand will disappear after a couple of pushes.
- [F] Wooden stairs drop a wooden plank instead of the stairs.
- [F] When a water block is placed with empty space underneath, a column of source block is created under the water block. (Maybe an intended feature? Might help keep oceans from having random holes where land used to be.)
- [F] Arrows do not get stuck in lilly-pads. Lily pads are walk-able now /jeb
- [F] Enchantment Tables break with a single punch and are destroyed permanently, although they can be mined with a pickaxe.
- [F] Save and Quit while water and/or lava is flowing downwards from a high source block can lead to weird freezes in state upon reloading the world (suspended blocks of fluid).
- [F] Eyes of Ender will sometimes go to areas without an End Portal. An example seed for 1.9pre4 which suffers from this bug: 1883114686416083372.
No seed which reproduces the bug has been found for 1.9pre5.This seed will reproduce the bug on 1.9pre5: -7521364253261532640 - [F] Placing a redstone repeater to the side of a jukebox causes a lighting bug on the repeater.
- [F] When placing a halfblock of sandstone, and another one under it, then another one over all of them, the blocks combine into 1 sandstone block at the bottom.
- this happens with every type of slab, has it been fixed for all of them?
- [F] Fence Gates have their collision boxes as the entire cube.
- [F] [S] Glass pane don't connect to slabs, stairs and (wooden?) doors: [1] Fixed the problem with double-slabs, but otherwise they attach as intended /jeb ***make them only attach to the backside of stairblocks ?
- i believe this also happens with iron bars if it didnt get fixed along with the panes
- [S] It is possible for a lilly-pad to spawn underground and on flowing water. Example: [2]
- [S] Flowers can spawn upon sand blocks but cannot be placed upon sand blocks by the player.(Only seen with yellow flowers)
- [S] Snow Golems still attack mobs in creative mode in which are neutral.
- [S] Dirt blocks that are irrigated shimmer blue on the side when viewed from underwater. Also the water-side of submerged glass blocks.
- [U] [S] Tall grass can be generated on dirt and gravel in NPC villages.
- [U] Spruce or Pine, when converted into sticks, sometimes cannot be made into tools. This bug is absent with Oak and Birch.
- [U] Some signs won't move from a chest to a inventory with shift+click.
- [!] If a redstone repeater is powered when the player exits a world, upon reentering the world, the repeater will be stuck on the 'powered' state and must be replaced to fix it.
- [!] Placing pressure plates (wood or stone) behind a door that is oriented to south or north makes it work vice versa (door closed when you stand on it, open if not)
- [!] Quitting to title menu while standing on a pressure plate will activate it forever. It must be rebuilt in order to make it usable again, this goes for items on wooden pressure plates too. [Verified]
- [!] Pistons can be used to generate an infinite supply of sand and gravel blocks. Example: [3] [4]
- [!] Minecarts with furnaces can't push minecarts on east/west tracks. This is really annoying after you just dug a 3x3x1k east/west tunnel. Powered minecarts DO work on north/south tracks.
- [X] When using the "Pick Block" function (middle click), it does not differentiate between different blocks with the same ID (such as different colors of wool, different types of slabs, leaves, saplings, stone brick, wood, and tall grass)
- [X] Also, when using the "Pick Block" function, it does not detect items which can be placed to make blocks (Sugar cane, cake, redstone repeaters, brewing stands, doors, signs, beds, and cauldrons)
- [X] When growing underground tree farms, trees become wooden poles with invisible, glitchy leaves. Leaves do not appear until new torches are placed nearby.

- If anyone else can confirm this I would appreciate it.--CapnDuckface 01:31, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
- I can totally confirm this, major annoyance of mine since quite some time. Glitchy leaves also means that you sometimes bounce back and forth against invisible blocks. Siebren 07:49, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
- [X] Glass blocks do not displace loose blocks underwater. What does this mean? /jeb
- When placing a glass block on a dropped item or item stack it encases the item (the item occupied the same space as the block) instead of being moved to the side. Leaves exhibit the same behavior.
- Technically speaking, all "transparent" blocks do not move "entities" out when placed over them. Maybe it's time to change the whole opaque/transparent block behavior concept?
- [X] Creative mode inventory missing items :
- 18:1 Spruce Tree's Leaves
- 18:2 Birch Tree's Leaves
- 18:3 Spruce Tree's Colored Leaves
- 31:0 Dead Bush placeable on dirt and grass
- [F] 31:1 Tall grass
- [F] 31:2 Fern
- 44:6 Alternate Stone Slab
- 52:* (Working) Mobs Spawners
- 60 Farmland
- 78 Snow Plate
- 90 Portal
- 97:0 Silverfish Stone
- 97:1 Silverfish Cobblestone
- 97:2 Silverfish Stone Brick
- 99 Huge Red Mushroom
- 100 Huge Brown Mushroom
- [F] 111 Lily Pad
- 119 End Portal
- 120 End Portal Frame
- 263:1 Charcoal
- 2267 Music Disc (C418 - where are we now)
- [X] Creative mode inventory unneeded items :
- 83 Sugar Cane Block - There's the "Sugar Canes" item (338) for that
- 92 Cake Block - There's the "Cake" item (354) for that
- [X] Dead bushes don't get placed in creative mode. I don't understand what this means /jeb
[X] Lily pads can now be placed by right clicking on the side of a block 1 space above water, though when placed on vines using this method, the vines disappear. Same happens with mushrooms, though they are just broken. May also work with other blocks, haven't tested this yetThanks for the info, but what is the bug? =)- [X] Cant place a torch back of stair block
- [X] Pistons can be powered by blocks that are not directly connected to them (diagonally above or 2 blocks above) leading to changes in those blocks not updating the piston, but when the piston is updated it will take those blocks into account.
- [X] Wooden half blocks are destroyed faster with a pickaxe instead of an axe.
- [X] Very rare, but I have had tall grass generate on water rather than grass. (I don't have a copy of a seed for this, though)
- [X] The side grass texture still uses the old dirt texture.
- [X] Fences attach to Chests.
- [X] Unable to go through tree blocks and glass panes with the new F6 command.
- [X] Placing blocks on glass and iron bars result in many illegal decorations - tinyurl.com/3s44hx7
- [X] Some items are not mined fast/slow with the correct tool. These items are: Wooden slabs are mined with a pickaxe, thats not right! Fences should be mined faster with an axe! Wooden stairs should be mined faster with an axe! Wooden doors should be mined faster with an axe! Crafting tables should be mined faster with an axe! Signs should be mined faster with an axe! Redstone ore should be mined faster because its just annoying! Soul sand should be mined faster with a shovel! And yeah thats just pretty much it.
- [X] You can do critical hits on: Paintings, Minecarts, Boats, Fireballs, Snowballs, Eggs, Arrows, other players with pvp turned off and maybe more.
[A] If a nether portal is placed by the user, it disappears when any adjacent block is changed. This includes placing a second portal block, in which case they will both disappear (After doing a rotation snap if necessary). The portal blocks are obtained using the /give command on SMP.Portal blocks need to be next to a obsidian block in order not to disappear. Otherwise it'll realize that it can't exist there and disappear.- even when placing within an obsidian frame they still disappear. perhaps allowing user-placed portals? (similar to the flag for user-places leaves) --Gravemind2401 01:59, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
- [A] When you break a piece of birch wood you get a normal piece of wood instead of birch (This happens to me i dont know about anybody else).
- [A] Slimes in SMP are very buggy while in caves. They are very hard to kill. They keep jumping extremely high and falling from the ceiling
- [A] Paintings are black when there is a block above it.
- [A] Fences are sometimes used as poles by stacking them, and since fences now connect to solid blocks, poles look ugly. Examples: Abandoned Mineshaft Wooden Pillars, Multiplayer/Singleplayer world decorations. (An idea to fix this annoying problem will be to make it so that stacked fences won't connect to blocks, or to make separate pole blocks)
- [A] Since you can walk past the highlights of the fence, its annoying if you want to place a block somewhere and instead it gets placed on the fence(thats only if your through the fence's block) If you want me to make this more clear, tell me jeb :)
- [?] Chests connect with each other when placed three in a row, with a graphical overlap. When opened, they show the inventory of 2 like normal. [5] How do you place three next to each other? /jeb
- [X] Can place redstone on chests.
Crashing
- [!!] Maximizing the window and moving it to another monitor before pressing 'E' or right clicking an interface after starting the game will result in the game crashing with the "Saving Chunks" screen upon pressing 'E' or right clicking any interface in Mac OS X.
- [!!] After playing for a few hours an error will occur causing the "Saving Chunks/Out of Memory" error. This often happens while running 32-bit Java on a 64-bit OS. But since 1.9-pre5, it doesn't happen that often anymore.
This can commonly be fixed by using the below line in a file ending in .bat or .batch. This works with 64-bit OS machines:
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx256m -Xms128m -cp Minecraft.exe net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
And this works for 32-bit OS machines:
java -Xmx256m -Xms128m -cp Minecraft.exe net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
- [!!] Game (clients and ?servers?) cannot tell when it is in distress / running out of memory / processing due to an entity (Mobs or blocks on the ground) overload. Propose that when memory/processing usage is approaching critical levels, the game should take much more aggressive management of entity removal. This can be achieved in vanilla ssp/?smp? through standing next to a mob spawner dropping mobs into a trap outside the check range but mobs remain inside the "mob reborn" range (this may have been a bug of the above memory leak, the game crashed and I was not able to restart it). This can be achieved artificially with MCEdit with a 2x2 chunk room 10-20 blocks high and replacing the air with torches or similar. Entity overload on SMP creative through the use of scripts mass-dropping blocks (before the ability compress blocks into a single unit) is/was a well known and often abused griefing tactic.
- [!!] Placing a chest beside a Brewing stand in 1.9pre5 multiplayer will cause it to look like it is not there (transparent), right-clicking on it causes the game to crash. You can still break it without Minecraft crashing. After logging back on the chest will work properly.
- [!!] Hitting Alt + F11 causes a crash and a error report to download to your desktop.
- [!!] Placing a chest, then removing it, and then placing a sign or enhancement table on that place will crash the client. Tested on CMP
- [?] Some users report F11 causing a blackscreen crash. I have experienced this before usually fixed with pressing F11 fullscreen glitch possibly happens when in game full screen when to tab out users press F11 this can be avoided by alt + tab to tab out like that - alizter1234
- [!!] In the Nether on Survival the game randomly shows the "Saving Chunks" error and crashes
Files
- [F] On servers if the ops.txt file is missing the message generated states "Failed to load ip ban list" obviously copied from banned-ips.txt message and not modified.
- [F] After loading a world and quitting to the main menu, some region files remain being opened and locked by the region cache manager. Altering these region files requires the game to be fully shut down first, which makes external edits cumbersome.
- [S] Saved worlds show up as 0.0 MB. Updating at startup is too slow, and fixing it ingame is too much work... I'm hiding the field instead. /lazy-jeb
- [!] Sometimes after dying on a hardcore world Minecraft fails to delete files and after starting a new world with same name you may find old chunks.
Gameplay
- [F] Efficiency enchanted picks (tested with Efficiency 4 diamond pick) have little effect on reducing Obsidian mine time. Not sure if intended. Eff. IV should take 40% of mining time - 0.6 x 15s = 9s to mine obsidian. Not tested..
- [These lines have been removed to prevent wasting Jeb_'s time. Be careful about what you post next time.]
- [!] Clicking/right-clicking while moving the mouse may cause the screen to lose focus. Seems to happen in all OSs but it happens even more in Linux with the Fluxbox window manager. The cause is that whenever you click or right-click, the game loses cursor focus (you can even see the cursor blink over the screen). If the cursor is moving enough fast, it is not relocated in the center of the screen in time. Like the mouse locking does not work very well. Very easy to reproduce (easier in Linux&Fluxbox window manager): Just spam right-click while moving the mouse fast. Occasionaly causes players to die as keys being pressed before the focus was lost are stuck until pressed again (which may make you walk into lava/fall from somewhere).
- [!] Sometimes player will sink through floor; after death problem still occurs.
- [!] Strongholds can be generated without an End Portal. (Sample seed: -7521364253261532640)
- [!] When going into The End, the player turns invisible and the FOV turns all the way up and cannot be turned down. After a little while the screen turns upside down and the FOV becomes increased again. Yet, the FOV slider on the menu is still at 0, but the game is beyond the maximum setting. This bug then carries over to all other saves (worlds). Hold N and M and then Y and H (M/N = Roll, Y/H = Zoom)
- [X] Being suffocated by blocks (i.e. dig down 3 blocks and place 2 sand blocks above you) while in 3rd person will cause the camera to revert back to 1st person.
- [X] Entities can gather up damage from lava in the nether to have it all expelled onto them upon touching dry land (even those entities who are immune to lava damage can amount insane amounts of damage just by taking a lava bath for a few seconds).
- [X] Exploring previously-unexplored deserts in SMP causes the player to run into invisible cacti, which cause damage and stuttering movement. Disconnecting and reconnecting or leaving the area and returning makes them visible.
- [X] If you block then click while aiming at a block, then release block, the sword you are holding swings once.
- [X] If you exit the game (or or the game crashes) while in a boat you will start next time on the sea bed with the boat zooming away from you.
- [X] If you exit the game (or or the game crashes) while in a minecart you will start next time buried up to the waist in the ground. If there's lava one block down you'll burn. If you exited the game in a crash often the minecart is duplicated.
- [X] Impossible to create a world using the seed "0". It will just take a random seed, as if it was not specified. However, we can generate a world using the seed "0" with the server (level-seed=0).
- [X] In single-player, leaving an area causes the game to "spike" for a moment, but not when re-entering it. This may be exclusive to the area the user's bed is in. Note: Removing bed does not appear to fix the problem.
- [X] On the world creation screen, when you resize the window, any name you entered in the editbox will be reset to the default "New World".
- [X] Redstone does not detect when redstone powered items are adjacent and direct power to them while it does detect repeaters.
- [X] Similar to the entry above. Minecarts can accumulate damage via high falls. This damage is expelled onto the entity if the minecart touches a block that doesn't have a track on it (IE cart falls through a 24+ block drop before reaching the player; player hops in and takes a ride; ride leads to a deadend rail and cart skids off the last track; player dies).
- [X] Sometimes when standing near a repeater you will fall through one level of blocks. (And will sink into the floor up to your waist). Seems to happen more when the ceiling is only 2 blocks high.
- [X] Still many blocks are not on the efficency lists of tools and therefore take ages to mine regardless of the tool. Especially annoying is that better tools/ enchantments do not work on these. In the following list the tool it should mine faster is in the brackets behind: fences(axe), fence gate (axe), nether fences (pickaxe), nether bricks (pickaxe), bricks (pickaxe), workbenches (axe), stone bricks (pickaxe), cracked stone bricks (pickaxe), mossy stone bricks (pickaxe), iron bars (pickaxe), iron doors (pickaxe), wooden doors (axe), mycellium (shovel),furnace (pickaxe), disperser (pickaxe), redstone ore (pickaxe) (at least a little speed improvement with an diamond pickaxe vs iron one would be nice), signs ( axe), soul sand (shovel). every single block is a minor bug, but the annoyance for every bock accumulates an therefore this toghether is the most annoying bug for me.
- [X] The client can place and break blocks 1 block further than the server thinks it can; blocks destroyed this way may reappear. This can be an annoyance for players. The extended reach is usable horizontally but not vertically.
- [X] Water on top of fence posts can cause entities to hop in place if they move in any direction against a wall 1 block or more higher. This does not happen at all at the .5 minimal height for collision next to water on a fence post.
- [X] When entering The End, it is possible that you will spawn off the generated blocks and be placed on a 5x5 block of obsidian. If played on a mode other than creative, it would be difficult to make a path to the rest of the map. (gravel/sand?)
- [X] When playing on multiplayer, a slight lag causes thrown eggs to disappear. Sometimes a phantom egg is placed back in the inventory, also.
- [X] You can't hold down the left mouse button to continuously attack any more.
- [X] You can't hold down the left mouse button to to break a minecart any more.
- [X] Sugar and Eye of Ender are rendered incorrectly as a tool in 3rd person mode.
- [X] In SMP, the server won't load the End or Nether; therefore making both worlds not generate (the End is just the 5x5 obsidian platform you spawn on).
- You must dig up from the obsidian you spawn on, you only have to go up 5 blocks. True. i needed to do it also
- [X] Noteblocks can only be powered in 3 ways, 2 of which is bugged: Direct wire, Torch underneath, and a direct repeater.
- Firstly, Destroying the torch under the noteblock does not turn off the noteblock. Lastly, The repeater functions backwards, it causes the noteblock to play when unpowered (Sending power does not make a sound, but removing it does)
- [?] Ender Pearls can't be thrown in creative mode.
- [?] Endermen will attack you in Creative mode if they bump into a wall and you are near them.
- [?] Sugar Cane seems to grow at a reduced rate.
- [?] When logging on with a random username and password you can play Minecraft Singleplayer for free. (offline) -- True, but you must have offline (.minecraft) files, then you can log in with a random username. While an offline server would work with this method, an online server doesn't.
- [?] When you're in a snow Biome in Beta 1.9pre5, if you make a fountain of Water and wait for it to freeze, you can take it with a Bucket, and the the next flowing water will turn into Ice.
- [?] While using a bed you will always be interrupted by a hostile mob. (even when the bed is well within a mushroom biome where no hostile can spawn) It seems the buffer distance between you and mobs has been increased to 3? - Are you in a house with double doors? Double doors allow mobs to wake you up unless it is redstone locked.
- [?]
Mushroom Soup does not stack.It's intentional. - [A] Birch and pine leaves don't appear in the creative mode selection screen.
- [A] In creative mode boats are not infinite forcing you to refill your item bar after placing one. Same with TNT
- [A] Unable to put armour on using creative.
- [A] Coal Ore, Redstone Ore, Glowing Redstone Ore, and Lapis Lazuli Ore, all obtainable with Silk Touch, are not smeltable.
- [A] cannot use scroll wheel in the mouse to scroll on the world selection screen.
- [A] A lot of clicks are necessary to find an specific enchantment level in the enchantment table once there are a lot of books around it.
- It is notable, this annoyance is the same basic issue with painting's random placement
- Would be better if the enchantment levels are binomial distributed around the players level, but still capped by the amount of bookshelfs
- It is notable, this annoyance is the same basic issue with painting's random placement
- [A] The game has a very slow level income the higher the levels go for enchantments. e.g. You need to kill about 2-4 mobs to gain level 2 when you are level 1, but like 20-40 (guessed) mobs when you are level 20 and want to reach level 21. Since high level enchantments often still result in weak enchantments it's not worth saving levels for them: For example after spending hours and hours of time to get to level 20 killing hundreds of mobs it's kind of frustrating to just get an "Efficincy II" enchantment which will make you save a few seconds mining time in total.
- This is not a bug, but it is a balance issue. Suggestions get gathered at the discussion page
- EthosLab on youtube made a video in his LP series episode 114 (or around there) that allows him to VERY easily get a LOT of XP. Simple.
Graphical
- [F] Looking directly at an entity while holding a map will cause the map to become white (see http://imgur.com/5F0Wq).
- [F] If you press F3 and exit the world you are playing on, the F3 data/screen will still be visible when you are in the Minecraft menu but you cannot turn it off
- [S] Part of the player's skin, specifically the bottom of the head and hat, is facing the opposite direction. Tested in both SSP, SMP, and all the gamemodes. Sorry, but the new alignment is staying. If it's important you need to update your skin. /jeb
- [S] [X] Activate F3 and open Creative Inventory. If you scroll down the background of the CPU-Time-Usage-Table (right bottom) disappears. Seems to happen if you see the "Golden Apple" with its graphical effects in the Inventory. //Update: This happens with every animated item in your inventory. Probably just some GL setting that isn't cleared, but I won't spend time looking for it right now. /jeb
- [!] Swimming/sailing in the ocean causes the horizon to flicker obnoxiously (since 1.8). It occurred in the 1.8 update because the water level was lowered one block. Previously, water level was at 65, now it's at 64. When you used to dive into water at level 65, the horizon would turn blue to create that underwater effect. But now when you dive at the new water level, the horizon still behaves as if the water level is still 65, causing that horizon glitch.
- [X] While sat in a minecart wearing armor,opening your inventory shows you sat on your boots as well as wearing them.
- [X] While in front first-person the fire on the players body while burning is not visible to the player.
- [X] Swamps have a horrible transition from any biome to a swamp biome leaving some nasty looking colors. Example: [6]
- [X] Chest armor doesn't move when swinging arms if looking in certain directions.
- [X] Due to the new camera positioning keys, switching keys (such as I for inventory, instead of E) causes "unintended" camera panning from the player.
- [X] If you eat rotten flesh and get infected then switch to third person and facing the character the infected animation doesn't play. Tested with fancy graphics and the default texture pack.
Player model bug
- [X] The wheel texture is flipped upside down on one side of Minecarts.
- [X] When you die, the player model in the inventory screen also appears dead, blocking some parts of the inventory screen/slots.
- [X] While you're in bed, the experience level number doesn't fade out.
- [X] When underwater with the camera position changed, it resizes the blue square filter you get when being underwater.
- [X] After pressing f6, if you hit left shift to crouch, it inverts your movement controls.
- [X] Water and lava drips under blocks where it probably shouldn't such as glass, signs and ladders
- [X] If tree is in the middle of two biomes, it may cause an overlap of of leave blocks at that area.
- [X] This is kind of major cause it allows you to look through walls. So what you do is play around with Y,H,N and M, (aka camera angles/depth/etc) then reset it(hold Y and H, and N and M) and press F5. If you are lucky the camera will be screw up and if you look down you will see under ground all the caves. You can't see your character tho cause its like facing the opposite way.
- [X] Bucket will not pick up water or lava but still effects the flow. Possibly the effects of switching from creative to survival with an out-dated hack.
- [X]
After using mode switch hack?: Compasses point towards the original spawn point instead of payers bed despite setting it as respawn/sleeping in it.It's supposed to do that... Check here - [X] Linked to the Audio Rain glitch, in chunks where the rain sound will not play, you can also see that, while the rain is falling, it does not splash against blocks on that chunk.
- [X] The 3D Character's Movement in the Inventory screen causes some laptops and older graphics cards to crash (It never happened to me before 1.9.5)
- [X] Letters do float from bookshelves to enchantment tables even if 'line of sight' is blocked by transparent objects like vines, glass panes, ladders, cobwebs, saplings, ... However, potency of enchantments is not increased.
Lighting
- [F] Glowstone behind glass is odd, the light shines through but the glowstone itself is almost black. Example: [7]
- [F] Redstone Repeaters placed between two full blocks are dark when placed along Z axis. They are properly lit when placed along X axis.
- [U] Chests and signs are often black or very dark even when in a well lit location I can't reproduce this in pre-5, can you show me exactly how you build to make the chest dark? /jeb I think this only happens when using an Intel graphics chip.
- [U] Enchanting Tables Books are often black or very dark at some angles What angles? APPLY SCIENCE! =) /jeb Same as above
- [!] On many Mac OSX systems there is harsh visual lag, and you can see through blocks partially (not due to textures) as well as at night the lighting inside is blue as well as odd strips going through blocks -this is probably caused by the power pc processors that apple used in old models, just as there were graphical bugs in ppc macs in every versions before beta 1.2
- [!] This lighting bug is better explained by a short, voiceless video here [Skip to 1:20 for the bug; earlier shows how to create] [8].
- [!] not only that but there are bugs letting you see through blocks when it is dark even in smp
- [X] Arrows shot at the bottom of a block appear dark, even in well lit areas.
- [X] Black an white flickering on chests and all placeable objects on Minecraft Windows 7. Occurred since 1.8 // cannot reproduce.//reproducable, same with WinXP//same as above (?)
- [X] Black and white flickering on all mobs and the player arm when playing Minecraft on Windows XP. Has occurred since 1.8 // cannot reproduce.//reproducable, maybe only with Intel graphics chips?
- [X] Glowing redstone ore appears darker if light level is high Redstone block lighting.
- [X] If the block adjacent to a water source has a lighting issue, the bubble particles will become black. [9]
- [X] If there is a block behind glass, it turns dark.
- [X] Light does not pass through holes in walls made by half blocks. Example
- [X] Light source is placed underwater and destroyed the light stays. - Fixed in the newest Pre-release.
- [X] Occasionally some leaf blocks on trees that become enclosed later will continue to generate somewhat dim sunlight (light level changes based on night/day cycle). Forcing a lighting update doesn't fix, only destroying the block will. Examples: [10][11]
- [X] Paintings are black when there is a block above it.
- [X] Signs flicker dark. //maybe only with Intel graphics chips?
- [X] Some torches generated in abandoned mine shafts or NPC villages don't light anything up, unless replaced or if another torch is placed by it.
- [X] Sometimes overhangs create pitch black shadows, as shown here File:2011-10-27 16.52.37 copy.png. However, when one gets closer to the cliff, the lighting is updated and the pitch black shadow disappears (as shown here File:2011-10-27 16.52.51.png).
- [X] There are some random lighting errors when a world generates, such as block with a light level of 1 under certain parts of a cliff, or sometimes random blocks on the ground in daylight are black, and standing on them makes the character dark too. This can be fixed by right-clicking the block while you are on it. (It's still annoying though)
- [X] You can see chunk boundaries 'under' ice on some systems. [1]
- [X] light "leaks" through the corners of stair blocks Example Image
File:2011-11-02 07.25.49.png File:2011-11-02 07.26.13.png File:2011-11-02 07.27.09.png
Maps
- [F] Using a map, while in a boat, at night, causes the map to become "highlighted" when the player looks down at the map.
- [U] Map arrow don't match real looking direction. [12]
- [U] All maps made will center on the location where the first map was created
- [!] When you are flying on ice, you will see the sides of the chunks (Confirmed for versions 1.6, 1.7.3, 1.8.1, and 1.9pre5)
- [!] Created a map prior to 1.9pre5. After getting 1.9pre5, every new map made is an exact duplicate of the first one regardless of where it's made. Check and make sure you're not holding down shift when crafting the Map; this will always create a duplicate of "map_0"
- [A] Blocks which use damage values to select their appearance only show the default color on a map, e.g. an area full of red wool will show up as white on the map.
- [!] Sometimes maps will cut off chunks and replace them with endless oceans.
Mobs
- [F] Endermen may teleport after the player deals a killing blow resulting in their drops appearing elsewhere, often out of sight of the player and therefore lost.
- [F] Sheering baby Mooshrooms yields a full grown adult cow rather than a baby cow. Possible exploit to gather beef faster from breeding by bi-passing the time spent to age.
- [F] Slimes and Magma Cubes do not despawn when setting to peaceful despite being hostile mobs at all sizes. This is indeed a "feature" but it was also not as intended when originally coded. The original intent was to allow the smallest version of them to spawn but remove the rest since the smallest ones do no damage, just annoy. This clearly is not how they have been behaving all these months.
- [F] Spiders, Endermen and silverfish will still try to attack you even if you have not provoked them in creative mode (other hostile mobs do not [2]).
- [F] The cow, pig, wolf, sheep and sheep fur rear texture are upside down. It's maybe a general bug and maybe concerns all mobs/items/entities like boat, cart, chest and sign... It does affect the underside of player's head (1.8.1 was fine, during pre5 I noticed the bottom of my chin was now at the back of my neck; not sure when it started). Fixed by updating the skins /jeb
- [F] When trying to feed pigs with saddles wheat, it does nothing, and instead just mounts them.
- [F] Slimes and Magma Cubes are voiding several spawning algorithm rules. Such things as spawning on top of blocks labeled in the game as non-spawnable (glass, half steps, stairs, etc); spawning inside of translucent blocks next to air blocks, such as spawning inside of a piston block; spawning inside 1x1 block spaces that contain translucent blocks such as redstone, repeaters or torches.
- After more research and testing, I have found this is caused by them ignoring the collision mask for translucent blocks. I've witnessed all sorts of weird stuff like them spawning inside of extended sticky pistons holding solid blocks and unable to move because of the pushers collision mask; spawning inside of glass with a solid block below it; spawning inside of extremely tight spots because the head layer was glass or piston and spawning on top of things like repeaters, half steps and the like when they clearly have a collision mask. I could not replicate this with any other mobs, so the mistake lies somewhere in the code for cubed entities.
- [U] Chicken clips through gravel block and asphyxiate while following the player with wheat. How? I'm unable to reproduce this /jeb The easiest way I've found to reproduce this is to spawn a massive number of chickens with eggs in a confined space, and eventually the chickens will kill themselves through suffocation. not exclusive to gravel, though.
- [U] In a dark area, creepers and skeletons don't attack you. Creative mode? /jeb No, I had it today the first time, a zombie spawned near my bed, because I forgot to lit up the hole I dug. He punched me out of the bed, but after that he did nothing more. /Wieherbuh
- [!] Mooshroom spawn too much in some area (see http://tof.canardpc.com/view/993ab614-4193-4b24-9d04-fcadd5c3f517.jpg). More than 29000 was removed with the help of MCEdit. The Mooshrooms spawned back after several minutes.
- [!] Mobs , in general , spawn in huge amounts upon certain chunks.
- [X] Chickens disappear once they mature into adults. Doesn't happen for me. Instead parent chickens follow the baby 9even after maturity), But if chickens take damage 9such that from being hit with an egg) they stop following the matured Baby.
- [X] Mass amounts of Spiders may collapse into a super dense spider ball, unable to escape the hitboxes of other spiders even when there's room, requiring that they be pulled apart one at a time. Spider Ball
- [X] Mob path-finding is extremely lackluster and can easily break in tight spaces. In fact, it is so faulty that even a single block placed well over 50 blocks has a chance to cause mobs in a tight space to behave completely wrong; typically resulting in mobs blatantly ignoring the player entirely.
- [X] No more wool produced by sheep after a single shave. Tester this bug on multiple machines on SMP and SP.
- [X] When a chicken focus on the player, it moves its head down instead of up like other animals/mobs.
- [X] [A] Chickens kill themselves and/or each other in confined spaces. Makes breeding chickens in a pin almost impossible.
- [X] You can see see mobs far away in fog, though they are white.
Correction: you can see Endermen and spiders far away in fog.
- [?] Ghast hit box (and collision check when spawning) are set approximately one block too low.
- [A] Passive mobs constantly bounce when next to fences even though they cannot get over. This eventually results in their death over time as they clip into blocks momentarily and suffocate. Over time they accumulate enough damage to die. All penned animals do this and die over time. Following bugs are related or the same issue.
- [A] chickens seem to have an additional bug and suffocate while jumping down from a single block height. (seen in smp)
- [A] All (non aquatic) passive mobs make a bee-line for the sea. After a short while the land will clear of livestock which can be found floating offshore or trapped in ponds and pits. Includes cows, pigs, sheep & mooshroom cows. Chickens seem less affected.
- This may be due to mob pathfinding directing them to attempt to reach a point below them. I have witnessed chickens climb a dirt spiral to jump and float out of a pit, so this may be a case of the pathfinding algorithm trying too hard to move in a direction.--PlNG 20:28, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- On my SMP all the animals get trapped, either in a lake, or on a single block on the side of the a cliff they cannot jump back up from.
Multiplayer Related
- [U] From pre4 thread: "Blocks are not always what they seem to be. For example, a Dirt block can look like a Stone block.". It seems that the cause is that the client got one chunk with wrong data since it can be fixed by rejoining the server. The bug is very rare and very old (at least an half year). For video evidence of this, or a bug related to this, see [3] at time index 23:10. This video is from Beta 1.2_01 and doesn't depict the exact manifestation of how this bug appears now. The video linked shows a diamond block appearing as stone. Once broken, it is reformed as a diamond block, which could then be broken into a diamond item. This is slightly different than how it manifests now, which is, that the diamond block would appear as stone, only to break into a diamond item without the intermediate diamond block being reformed.
- [!] Reducing server.properties view-distance drastically reduces/eliminates mob spawning in SMP
- [!] Spawn point in The End seems to be related to the coordinates of the portal in the overworld. may result in spawning ~1500 coords from the origin on the X-axis. see discussion page for more info. (if you are in survival mode, you have no way of getting to the normal area)
- [!] Nether Portals : Same bug as portal to The End (Portal is created above a huge lava lake, land is far away)
- [!] Client-side world holes are still a frequent occurrence in multiplayer games.
- [!] Enchantment : The enchantment animation can not be seen by other players (tested on multiple machines).
- [!] Players with slow internet connection can only hit mobs with melee attacks on the head. This is not exclusive to 1.9, as it goes back at least to 1.7.3.
- [X] When exiting a minecart after riding it, the player floats and can clip into blocks. This condition only disappears when restarting the Minecraft client. This also happens in some cases where water is flowing down on top of you and you place a block above yourself. Restarting client (rather than reloading world) confirmed to resolve this.
- [X] When an arrow is shot at a block, the shot arrow floats to the top of the block. It does not stay at the position it was shot at.
- [X] Use of multiple TNT on SMP occasionally leaves 'ghost' TNT tiles (old bug, been around since as far back as 1.2.3_04 as per YouTube video). This is a client end issue, as re-logging will typically remove any ghost tiles.
- [X] Similar to TNT issue, when clearing high pillars of sand/gravel from the base up, some times you will encounter this problem, too.
- [X] There are some missing animations and broken features in singleplayer that are not working in multiplayer: creeper puffing up when about to explode, minecarts and boats do not wiggle when getting destroyed, endermen do not attack when they are looked at, endermen do not shake when they are looked at, critical hits do not do extra damage and its animation does not appear to any other players, sometimes falling sand and gravel sometimes leave back a non-solid glitching block behind, primed tnt sometimes leaves back a white, puffed up, non-solid version of it left where it was detonated, all mob spawners have a pig inside them, baby animals look like normal ones but don't drop anything, (I'll add more if I find any)
- [X] [A] Slime mobs, maybe magma slime either, move in very annoying way, the bounce rapidly up and down, and tend do clip over a ceiling/floor. this happens mostly with the tiny slimes,sometimes with medium, never noticed with big slimes. When they appear to clip over the ceiling, their collision frame is on the upper floor AND lower floor simultaneously, however, they attack can occur only on the floor they actually are. This makes them very difficult to kill, because player never knows, where they really are. This bug occurred in earlier versions (1.7, maybe earlier), but since slimes start to occur on upper map levels, it made them really annoying.
- [X] [A] Mob Spawners in SMP all appear as pigs.
- [X] [A] Not a bug per se, but there is no flag in server.properties to allow/disallow travel to The End in SMP. (like the "allow-nether" flag)
- [A] There are some lighting glitches such as: Destroying a block leaves a light level of 1 at the location the block was destroyed, repeaters are sometimes black.
- [A] Servers could use join/quit DDOS/flood protection through queuing, or at least the ability to limit/combine/reduce player announcements.
- [A] Whitelist toggling in the console doesn't appear to do anything. whitelisting seems to work, but requires a restart to activate/deactivate
- [A] /kill doesn't work if you are in creative gamemode.
Memory/CPU General
- [X] The Macintosh version uses 32-bit Java, even on 64-bit computers (This is because the launcher specifies 32-bit java, but there is a fix that requires Xcode and very precise changes to the application package.) For a simple alternative to launch Minecraft in 64-bit Java, use this terminal command:
java -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -jar /Applications/Minecraft.app/Contents/Resources/Java/MinecraftLauncher.jar
- Same here, on Windows 7 64bit, unless you use a batch file, or shortcut:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "full path to minecraft.exe"
Sound
- [X] Unchecked volume increase? Placing a water source at the feet of 500+ mobs standing in a single square produces a very loud sound equivalent to a small army of creepers detonating simultaneously.
- [X] Walking across a series of trapdoors does not make any sounds. Walking across the edges of blocks adjacent to the trapdoors (ie, walking across the top of the block containing the trapdoor) makes the walking on wood sound.
- [?] Rain does not always generate the rain sound.
- [?] chest do not make opening or closing sound next to stone blocks.
Weather
- [X] Sometimes a thunderstorm can start but it will not rain until near the end of the storm. Mobs spawn normally.
- [A] Weather sounds/looks the same regardless of weather severity. Would be nice to be able to distinguish audio/visually between an overcast day, a light drizzle and "Get the **** out of this!" weather. Thundersnows and Desert Lightning.
- suggestion for next versions: sandstorms in the deserts
Lava
- [F] You can now create an infinite lava spring. [4]
- [?] While in the Nether, I fell into the lava. I paused the game (with esc) but after a few seconds, the entire screen went completely red and the game froze. I had to end the process to get rid of it. (If you want to recreate my scenario for testing purposes, I was wearing full Iron armor at the time, if that matters.)
Water
- [!] if you have a column of water running down a wall and you block the hole, the water below it keeps flowing, it's like all the water becomes source blocks. //Confirmed, water placed above air will turn all blocks below into source blocks. This makes it impossible to have 1x1 flows of water because the source blocks will leak in all directions.
- [!] [A] Water doesn't push activated TNT or minecarts.
- [!] [A] Falling water destroys items normally pushed aside by flowing water. An exhaustive list: Sapling, powered rail, detector rail, cobweb, tall grass, dandelion, rose, brown mushroom, red mushroom, torch, redstone wire, seeds, rails, lever, redstone torches, button, redstone repeaters, stems, lily pads, nether warts, and other objects of similar nature.
- [X] Placing a contained water source next to a ladder then carving the block below the ladder and placing a source block in that position will cause the first source block (the one next to the ladder, not under it) to convert into a flowing stream that points at the ladder; or rather the source block hidden in the hole below the ladder. Unsure which the game is doing since they are both in the same direction using this trick. Basically it turns a source block into a flowing block when it shouldn't.
- [X]
Tunneling up into the side of a body of water, finding yourself in a 1x1 waterfall and placing a block above to block the water caused no clipping (limited to the horizontal plane). Possible to move into blocks (causing suffocation) and resolved be quitting the entire client and restarting (exiting and reentering world does not resolve it).Probably an F6 issue /edit Confirmed. - [A] Fluids such as water can alter other fluids to change their angle; however the angle of the water can alter whether or not an entity can jump out of the water. (Further explanation: Prior to 1.6 this feature didn't affect the way the water reacted with entities. Current tests to exploit the angles of waters in all 4 directions when water was applied to corners or head on to shift the angle caused varied results. For instance, it is impossible to jump out of a source block onto any other source blocks 1 block higher. Using flowing water yielded a rather varied slew of results. With just water straight ahead in the direction being tested, only West was able to hop out into the source block. With water applied to the corners of a flowing stream to lift it up, 2 directions could hop out onto a dry block just fine while the other two could not. All tests were done on the player, but I noticed these problems several months ago on a mob machine and did a slew of tests using mobs to gather the same odd results.)
Biomes/Dimensions
- [!] there is still no way to leave The End (without dying) as of pre5. (has it been fixed for 1.0?) // Personally, I don't think this will be fixed. Think of the challenge The End provides if you can only leave by dying. //well without being able to return to earth and gather supplies, and with the End only being one single island, having no return makes it seem kind of pointless to go there in the first place. especially on hardcore or on survival if you want to mine some end stone or obsidian
- suggestion: seeing as the portal to the end is a sort of space-like effect resembling the sky in the end, perhaps the portal back could be blue with clouds resembling the earth sky
- [X] In creative mode, getting underneath the end portal and looking up does not display the end portal effect. The portal can also be broken when punched, leaving holes when seen from above.
- [X] Where Minecraft thinks the biome area is seems to have shifted, for example, the darker color of water from a nearby swamp biome has moved into the desert and now water there is that color, it also rains in some areas of the desert now
- what version was the map generated in? biomes shifted after 1.7.3 with the introduction of the larger biomes, and again in 1.9 with the return of the snow biomes
- [X] the spawn point in The End may sometimes be located off the island, so you can only get there with creative (or if you have enough blocks to make a bridge). this is similar to (but not as severe as) the spawning issue noted in the "Multiplayer Related" section
- [X] [A] Strongholds almost always have mineshafts or canyons generated through them, usually taking out large chunks of what would have been the stronghold. this may be what causes some strongholds to have no portal.
[X] Sometimes a Biome with water such as an ocean or so, from a earlier version like 1.8/1.7.5 etc. will make the whole map into an Snow/ice Biome.In my case, my whole 1.7.5 map turned into a snow / ice biome -_- and all the water froze and snow is on every block.- this is not a bug. 1.8+ introduced new biome code, which was not backward compatible.
[X] Old worlds dating from 1.7.3 and below have seemed to have their biomes changed. For example, my old forest biome is now an ugly mess of swamp and forest biomes with horrible biome shading. This has existed ever since 1.8.1- see above about biome code for 1.8+. if its important, you'd be better off staying on 1.7.3.
- [?] Sometimes there are random cacti on mountains.
- [?] Nether fortresses are not spawning (checked on 2 worlds using MCedit to check every part of the currently generated map for them. More extensive testing may be required.)
- Make sure your MC Edit is up to date -- May just be generating an older version of Minecraft that doesn't have the Fortresses
- They do spawn... I found two of them on my world in 350 block radius from my spawn position (Nether portal)
- [A] The biome boundary between swamps and other biomes are just completely UGLY and don't blend in AT ALL. You should make it so the color of the swamp biome's grass should fade out when coming in contact with another biome's grass. Same with the water.
