[edit] Non Game (laucher, Interface)

[edit] Launcher

[edit] UI

[edit] Specific OS/hardware

[edit] Both single and multiplayer Minecraft (SSP and SMP)

[edit] General

• Going through a portal will cause a memory leak. Making this multiple times will reduce the available heap and forces more full garbage collections (known as lag spikes). If Minecraft runs out of memory it will crash.

[edit] Terrain Generation

[edit] 3D

[edit] Achievements and Statistics

[edit] Beds

[edit] Doors

[edit] Furnaces

[edit] Lava

[edit] Lighting

[edit] Mobs

[edit] Paintings

[edit] Redstone Repeaters

[edit] Score

[edit] Stairs

[edit] Tall Grass

[edit] Tools

• As of 1.6, a tool that has been picked up that has been used, upon using will break. A work around is to place the items in a chest first.

[edit] Weather

[edit] Only Survival Single Player (SSP)

[edit] General

[edit] Audio

[edit] Arrows

[edit] Beds

[edit] Boats

[edit] Cactus

[edit] Chest

[edit] Crafting Table

[edit] Farmland

[edit] Fire

[edit] Fishing Rod

[edit] Furnaces

• If many materials are smelted at once, the number of items being smelted will be reduced to one if more smelting fuel is added.

[edit] Glass

[edit] Glowstone

[edit] Grass

[edit] Gravel or Sand

[edit] GUI

[edit] Ice

[edit] Ladder

[edit] Lava

[edit] Lighting

[edit] Maps

• Destroying a map does not remove that number from the map list. If you made one map, then fell into lava and it burned, the next map you make will still be called Map 1, instead of becoming Map 0.
• Sometimes while viewing a map the game will switch to a "saving chunks screen" then end on a black screen.
• At times, the player's marker will spontaneously disappear.

[edit] Fire

• Some safe fireplaces in wooden houses have (as of the 1.6 update) burned said houses down.

[edit] Furnaces

[edit] Jukeboxes

[edit] Lighting

• The lighting engine often takes an abnormally long time to update when a light source is placed, and occasionally will not update at all, leaving the area pitch black even in the presence of say, a torch. This started in 1.6.X.

[edit] Lightning

[edit] Maps

• When the servers view distance is set to a lower number "in my case 5" walking with a map may cause the server to lockup, setting the view distance back to the default of 10 fixed this.
• If a player moves too fast horizontally while holding a map (usually from flying or teleporting) Chunks will stop loading for that player, and possibly other players, eventually kicking them out of the server due to timing out, and will not be able to log back into the server until it's restarted, despite other people being able to connect fine.

[edit] Minecarts

[edit] Mobs, Hostile

[edit] Mobs

[edit] Mobs, Passive

[edit] Mobs, Friendly

[edit] Note Block

[edit] Paintings

[edit] Portal

• As of 1.6.X, there is a chance of Minecraft's renderer to stop functioning (you can hear the audio going normally, and the server still registers you as playing), leaving you with a black screen, when you use a portal in SMP. Rejoining the server fixes this, but is a workaround.

[edit] Redstone

[edit] Signs

[edit] Time

[edit] TNT

[edit] Trees

[edit] Tools

[edit] Water
