I can re-confirm the exploding bed bug in 1.6.6 - I just saw that happen to a streamer. Sleeping in the Nether may cause your bed to explode with the strength of several TNT, possibly killing you instantly.
Tested and confirmed in SSP, dunno about SMP.
That is NOT a bug. :T
Notch confirmed as much on his Twitter like a week and a half ago.
My sytem specs are defined in the video description on Youtube:
Athlon 64 XP2 6000+ ~2x3.06 Ghz
Nvidia 9600GT 512 RAM
3.5 Gb RAM at 1.066 Mhz
Windows XP SP3
Edit: And the defintion of "rendering the game", in this case, is wrong. There are no graphic or render related problems. It's obviously something that gets produced by the game and bottlenecks either my Memory or the CPU.
I guess I remember having 149 MB out of ~900 possible. FPS was automatically capped by Fraps to 30, usually around 80-90 FPS. I noticed my FPS dropped with 1.6 slightly, but this has been fixed finally in 1.6.6, so no general FPS loss. But, and this is the important part, the lag I'm experiencing is not related to the graphics device or the FPS. It's either the CPU hog mentioned by Notch or stands in relation to the memory leak you've mentioned.
Edit: And btw. I'm experiencing this on SSP only, never touched the SMP since 1.6 update, cause Bug reports where even more alarming.
That's odd. Your specs are powerful enough to run the game smoothly. Have you tried using fps cap to 90? I heard it stopped lag spikes. Windows XP is quite old, but I'm not sure it would be causing it.
To be honest, I'm to lazy to list anything I've tried to get rid of the problem...but I'll do it again in case someone missed it.
- Defraged my harddrive, twice
- Updated any driver possible, even the motherboard drivers
- Tried the game in offline mode
- Used Game Booster and several mods mentioned in the performance thread
- Defraged my RAM
- Set Minecraft application to high priority in Task Bar
- Turned of all unnecessary background programms
- Several times deleted and reinstalled my Minecraft folder with version 1.6-1.6.6
- Turned the graphics to low as possible
- Used 90, 60 and 200 framerate cap
- Someone on Youtube mentioned switching your Windows style would help...but was wrong
- Fiddled with the settings in the Minecraft.ini
There's one last chance I can get rid of it, if I allocate more memory to my Java application, if only I would find out how to do that. I found approximately 10 different sides who mention it could be related to this, but no one says how to allocate more memory to Java. Out of dispertion I probably tried tons of other obviously useless ****, but nothing gets rid of this stupid lag.
In fact, I'm so pissed of it, I'm thinking about dropping the game forever, and transcribe the 15€ invested. Maybe it would have been more reasonable to wipe my ass after a decent **** with it, then spending it on this fraud...
I don't know what's up with your machine. I have NO noticeable lag spikes and I'm on a 3 year old mac. Just because YOU are having a problem does not make Notch a fraud. From what I can tell 1.6.6 fixed all the major problems. You might want to delete and download the jar.

For some reason I think of this as a feature not a bug.

I tried playing on my family computer.
AMD Athlon II x2 Regor 245 dual-core 3GHz
2GB DRR3 1333MHz RAM
GeForce 9500GT
Window Vista 32bit
This computer have similar specs expect a newer windows. With OpenGL on and max FPS on, I get 100-170 fps which is little higher than 1.5. I don't see any lag spikes at all.
i found out that i have in my world MULTIPLE NEAHER PORTALs
i hate it i want to go to neather i come out far from there and i found out it was south of my lava tower and base XD
... As I jumped/clicked to place the dirt block, it all messed up. I started bouncing from the dirt block to the glowstone block like a basketball. Had to disconnect. Fortunately, after reconnecting, I was spawned on top of the remaining glowstone blocks. Don't know, maybe this glitch works also with other blocks.
This is not a bug, it's lag or packet loss. The server and the client got out of sync as to which blocks had been placed/destroyed. You're bouncing because one thinks you're standing on a solid block whereas the other is insisting you're falling into the empty space where the block is/isn't.
This topic will explain everything about it.

and just stop whining.

Works on the server I run just fine. Crafting glowstone blocks as we speak.

Hm. Not sure, then. Perhaps tell the admin to re-download the server client, and you can re-download the player client. Worth a shot.

Also taking this chance to, again, say that the exploding nether beds are NOT A BUG, as I did many, many pages ago.
FIX IT NOTCH!!
Don't mess with the cactus
i hate it i want to go to neather i come out far from there and i found out it was south of my lava tower and base XD
isn't that just an old bug
i was walking along and started taking damage for some reason, i disconnected and reconnected and i was on top of a cactus : l

Yes.
