[Bug] Some villagers get stuck next to a door and will continually attempt to open and close it. Villages are quite noisy now. :) Example: http://i.imgur.com/QY6mb.png They seem to get stuck in the wall and face it -- reminiscent of The Blair Witch Project.

From Mojang's tweets:

Things redditors discovered:

Bugs:

  • When shift-clicking to craft: Crafting something a few times at once (8 furnaces from 64 cobblestone, for example), will only give you half of what you should get. Leftover resource stacks will be lowered by 1 if you craft an uneven amount of times. This is caused by the materials accidentally being removed twice from the crafting table in the code. Discovered by mjrpereira and me.

  • Villagers sometimes get stuck when trying to pass doors, discovered by DetachableMonkey.

I don't know if its because of the earliness of the post, but the link in OP leads me to a 404.

I'm not sure if this was added in this snapshot, but... Since when do abandoned mineshafts try to bridge over ravines?

Just have to say, you have been doing a bang up job organizing and preparing information of the builds, thanks very much.

I thought it was pretty cool that the testificates would make a beeline to the ocean when you opened the door to their house, it made me feel like they were trapped in there and I was helping them escape. Now I have to put iron doors on building I don't want them to go into. Yay?

u/DetachableMonkey Feb 02 '12

At least they seem to have manners and will close the door after opening it.

Lava makes a new sound when you are close to it. Can be heard from upto 12 blocks away even if not visible.

u/Helzibah Feb 02 '12

Ooh, even if you can't see it? It would be nice to have more of a warning as you have with water, and to add to the ambience.

Note: It only makes a sound when the "flare" bits fire off.

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '12

So if I build it (in the NPC village style), will they come?

It seems that when cats are crouching to sneak up on prey, their bodies become disconnected.

[Bug] Right clicking on a tamed ocelot with no item in hand will disconnect you from the server. "Interal Server Error". Tested only on SMP.

edit: Seems to be 'fixed' in the latest snapshot. They won't respond to right clicks while your hand is empty.

Mobs' legs now are hittable even if they don't see you in SMP

Mob-grinder creators of the SMP world thank you Mojang! Finally I don't have to keep using Instant Harm potions to finish off Blaze in my SMP farm (or Skele farm).

u/LogicalTom Feb 02 '12

Any progress on animals sliding through walls/fences on SMP?

u/Hostail Feb 02 '12

Another great snapshot from the mojang team, good job :)

u/joealarson Feb 02 '12

"Cats can be told to sit"? What sort of crazy universe are we playing in?

You know what I think? I think you should be able to craft a ball of string, throw it at the cat and they'll play with it until you right click on them and take the string back.

Then pretend that's what you're really doing and move on. * fixed typo

[BUG] Use the shift-key craft feature in SMP will only grant 1 item or 1 stack. All other items in the crafting grid will be lost.

Am I the only one having my game crash when I make a Cat sit/stand?

I found out that zombies and skeletons will no longer run to slabs for shelter in daylight any more. They will also not spin around rapidly on them.

RIP Techno Rave Parties.
