Minecraft Anyone?

Version Title/Number Date of Addition Additions Summary
1.6.4 May 26, 2011
Bug Fixes:
Fixed CPU issue on multiplayer (?)
Attempt at fix for severe CPU hog bug on SSP
New Bugs:
If a player sleeps in a bed, sometimes the bed is listed as occupied (even though it isn't) and, upon logging out, there is a NullPointerException and the player's .dat file is corrupted. There is an end of stream error when the player tries to log back in and their .dat file needs to be restored from a backup. This can be fixed by changing the sleeping value in the player's .dat file from 1 back to 0; this solves the issue and the player can then log back in.
If a player crashes in the nether in smp, some times when they reconnect, they spawn on top of the nether. The only way back to death.
Dropped tools, once picked up, disappear after first use [1]. Also if you die your tools can suffer a similar fate. If you shift-transfer such a dropped tool into a chest and back in your inventory, it's like a new-crafted tool without uses.
Sometimes freezes most water into ice regardless of if its in a snow biome or not.
CPU issue fix is still failing, same loop as 1.6.3
Sometimes blocks will fail to render, creating massive holes on the ground and walls, allowing the player to see caves and dungeons under the map. [2] [3]
Achievement display is sometimes off-panel. [4]
Updating of lighting due to torches and other player instigated sources seems to be even worse.
Underground or otherwise enclosed rail corners can cause you to clip through wall and lose health.
Minecarts colliding on the same track will pass through each other or come to a dead stop rather than pushing.
One Minecart may partially pass through another on a slope, when held by a non-activated booster track. [5] [6]
Powered minecarts do not push other minecarts around. image gallery show problem, reversed image order
Exiting a minecart or moving from one minecart to another will bump the original minecart and make it move.
Fire does not show up on a map item.
Fire sticks around much longer on blocks it can't burn.
Cobweb now acting like a solid block, player can pass through it, but he/she will get damaged.
You are able to travel down through a "closed" Trapdoor/Hatch (Under certain circumstances).
If the player is crouched while saving, he/she will then (when loading the world) spawn an additional 1.62 meters higher, and visibly fall to the grown (unhurt). However, if this occurs while standing under a solid block (such as a low ceiling), then the player will suffer 0.5 hearts of damage from clipping into the block temporarily ("suffocation"). Warning, also occasionally happens even when not crouched! (See Bug Report.)
When boats are submerged, they do not float back to surface. [7]
All TNT-entities stay clientside after exploding, until reconnection. (New bug because before just random ones stayed)
Shift-clicking to transfer items to/from chests, dispensers and storage minecarts can result in the game crashing if the items' destination would become full. [8]
Can't move and can mostly only see sky and sea when server.properties "view-distance" is set above 5. Note that the default is 10.
Hostile mobs sometimes spawn when using a bed even in a well lit room sealed off from outside enviroments, this appears to possibly be related to the lighting bug mentioned above (this can be an old bug: see [9]). Double doors also cause this to happen, the game somehow ignores one of the doors allowing mobs to spawn inside.
Craftable maps sometimes don't display the correct name, become blank or have gaps.
When crafting an item, shift clicking may cause different items to be created if the elimination of resources would create a situation in which that item can be crafted. For example, having 1 stone in the top left and two in the top middle and top right, along with two sticks in the middle and bottom middle, shift clicking will create a pick and a hoe.
When riding a boat with a map out, the player sometimes dies for no apparent reason.
Light bugs found in 1.6.2 can now occur in old generated chunks (not only in those generated in 1.6.x). Some screens here
When climbing a ladder in a 1x2 shaft, under certain circumstances, it is impossible to target a block opposite of the ladder. The cursor will repeatedly alternate between the wall and another block, usually the ladder.
The corruption of world when running out of memory fix does not always work.
When two portals share one nether portal, disabling the first portal, which is the primary portal for reentry to the world, causes the game to spawn a new portal in a random location when returning to the world. Following that the game crashes. Disabling that new portal and re-enabling the primary portal stops this from happening. Disabling the new portal and not re-enabling the primary portal causes the game to spawn yet another new portal if the process is repeated.
When entering and leaving nether life is shown incorrectly as full.
Maps may cause crashes or instability on multiplayer servers. When maps are used the server usually crashes in the same way: CPU usage goes to 100% and short after the server kicks all player and stops responding.
Mushrooms can spread through walls.
Lava, in SMP, anywhere near wood, even if blocked by glass, will set the wood on fire. Have observed wood catching alight that is 10 blocks away from the lava source.
1.6.3 May 26, 2011
Changes:
The renderer is now capped at 100 fps while there are chunks to be generated. The excess time will be spent generating chunks instead of rendering frames.
The “limit framerate” option now limits the game to 40 fps and will spend at least 10 ms per frame sleeping.
The “limit framerate” option has been reset to “off” for all players, enable it again if you want it.
2 blocks deep water doesn't prevent you from fall-damage anymore. You need at least 3 blocks deep water to fall in.
Now Detects Illegal versions of Minecraft
Bug Fixes:
Fixed some block updates not updating lighting properly under some circumstances by reverting the “don’t always send block data” fix in 1.6.
Fixed a major CPU load issue in the server where a very tight loop would starve all other threads.
Fixed furnaces dropping/duplicating their contents when they change state from lit to unlit or back.
New Bugs:
FPS limiter limits FPS to 41 instead of 40.
The fix for the CPU load issue is not working, and still starves all other threads.
1.6.2 May 26, 2011
Bug Fixes:
Fixed new item duplication bug
New Bugs:
The item duplication bug was not actually fixed; items placed in a furnace can still be taken out of a furnace and duplicated infinitely by right-clicking (although it appears the newly duplicated item will not function).
When using a furnace and placing items into it, as soon as it's activated all items minus 1 are ejected and must be placed back in the furnace in order to use it.
Lighting is not always updated when digging new holes/tunnels, placing torches or setting blocks on fire (in both nether & normal world).
Tall grass can grow on dirt with no grass on it.
Shift-clicking something into a full chest from inventory or from chest into full inventory crashes the client.
It is now impossible to row a boat in 1 block deep water.
Sometimes (tested while in a boat on water, and when floating in water) while viewing a map the game will switch to a "saving chunks screen" then end on a black screen.
When quitting game the "Saving Chunks" progress bar does not appear sometimes.
When loading a world and standing in a cave less than 4 blocks high, the player gets some initial damage (at least the damage sound appears).
"Out of memory" error. Often appears after the "blocks don't disappear" bug.
The following bugs only occur in new chunks generated in 1.6.2:
Some chunks don't get dark at night (and vice versa; some chunks stay dark during the day).
The textures don't load on some chunks (The blocks are present but with transparent textures).
Some blocks don't disappear after being broken; it appears as if the block is still there, but can be passed through.

Fixed item bug when picking up an item with a full inventory causing this to happen
1.6 May 26, 2011
Changes:

It’s no longer possible to build solid blocks on the top layer of the maps.
Booster tracks are now speedier.

New Bugs:
Extreme lags on Linux and Windows multiplayer servers, the Minecraft process uses 100% of CPU as soon as the host is logged on. Others may log in via LAN, and wireless without lag. [11]
The frames per second of the client dropped considerably for some users. [12]
Items do not eject properly from any block, they will become buried if a block is placed over them. Must dig it back out to retrieve.
Items received from a Furnace sometimes have no stack number, items from the furnace can also be duplicated by right clicking.
Right clicking a Duplicated item from a furnace while the chest is open results in a crash.
Hatches Close through you even if standing at same level.
Tall Grass are off centered and can float off edges.
When looking at a map the indicator at the player's coordinates does not always point the correct direction. For example, when facing due North, South, East or West the marker will sometimes point slightly clockwise from the direction it should.
When pressing Q to drop a tool and re-collecting that tool, when you use it it'll break instantly. To avoid this temporarily place the tool in a chest after taking it.
watercolor.png doesn't do anything.
If you Shift-click to place items chest and the chest is full the screen will change to the "Saving Chunks" screen except there will be no loading bar and the text will be in a lighter shade of grey. The game will then crash and will flick to the error report before the screen goes black and you cannot do anything.
After death, any tools dropped will give an infinite number of clone tools to the player when he/she attempts to pick them up.
Missing tooltips for Tall Grass and Dead Shrubs in Statistics menu.
Tall Grass looks grey in Statistics menu (because it's color depends on Dirt's block grass color).
Furnaces will sometimes eject all but the last item in every slot.
Upon logging into a world, the player receives half a heart of damage possibly due to spawning partially in the floor or ceiling, if indoors

The screen from clicking "Save and quit to title" no longer has a progress bar.
Any music discs left in a jukebox before Beta 1.6 can not be ejected
Hatch textures are mirrored wrongly. [14]
Walking up or down stairs is much bumpier than previously (your viewpoint bouncing vertically).
