Also, I don't know if this is intended but if gravel drops on a torch, the gravel will appear as a resource.

Frame rate/Lag [S-04]

Users are finding areas causing large amounts of lag or frame-rate drops.

Is this the root cause?

Try changing skins back to default Steve, Save, Exit, power-cycle XBox and reload.

I was having horrible lag playing with King-Skin, then did the above and no more worries.

I have just begun playing Minecraft only a couple of weeks ago and had not noticed anything unusual until after the update downloaded. I have been playing in Peaceful mode and have not attempted any mods or exploited any duplication glitches I've read about. Basically, I've been doing some mining and a little farming (growing wheat and sugar cane). I have experienced the following events (which I believe are due to bugs):

1) Two new stone pickaxes have disappeared after only 4 hits on smooth stone (no ore involved). (ETA: This glitch has not reappeared since I cleared the cache, re-downloaded the update and created a new world.)

2) Two new stone pickaxes have disappeared out of my hand while merely walking up stairs. NOTE: I did not drop the axes by hitting B. I was hitting A to jump and using the stick to move forward and had been doing this for quite awhile climbing up from bedrock. I even doubled-checked around to make sure, but the axes had clearly just vanished. (ETA: Not reappeared, same as item 1)

3) Two times, I was unable to sleep in bed in the middle of the night; that is, the option to Sleep did not appear. Had to mine the bed, replace it in it's spot, and then I was allowed to sleep in it. (ETA: Not reappeared, same as item 1)

4) When I then saved and then exited the game without saving (as I had read to do) and then re-entered the game later; I spawned, not in my original spot nor in my last bed, but in a bed I had placed in a previous house. Several days (and several saves) ago, I had mined that bed and all the contents of that house and moved it all to a second house in a different location. Prior to the update, I had successfully exited and re-spawned in the second house several times. This time when I spawned in the first house, I had no inventory (but I had been putting my inventory in my chest before exiting). There were a few items in the chest in this house, but not the amount of items I had placed in the chest at the second house; that is, I was clearly back to an earlier point in the game.

At that point, I tried exiting the game again without saving and re-entered, but I found that Iwas still in the first house and bed.

At that point, I cleared my cache and re-downloaded the update. I tried re-entering that world again, but still spawned in the previous house and bed. (I am sorry, but I was frustrated at that point and did not go investigate to see whether the second house I had built a ways away was still there at all.)

Thinking it may be a compatibility issue with worlds created prior to the update and not having a great deal of time invested in it, I then exited the game and deleted that world. I created a new world post-update and began playing again.

Everything seemed fine for a bit, but then I began noticing serious lag while moving about. Then, I encountered:

6) Tree leaves continually reappearing after being mined (both with and without shears). I was curious, so I persisted with for an entire Minecraft day (10-12 mins) and the leaf blocks kept regrowing and even, I'm pretty sure, new leaf blocks were added in spots they had not been before. There was still one block of wood in the tree when I quit and went onto another tree. Then, when I turned around back to the first tree, the leaves and the one block of wood had vanished.

7) ETA: I am now suddenly noticing several animals with their heads apparently stuck in a number of my doors. I can open the door and walk through them; but they will only disappear (despawn) once I leave the area for a time.

I hope this helps you track down bugs in this patch. Right now, I'm at a point where I would prefer to go back to the pre-updated version of the game or quit playing altogether..

The test would have to be done in Java 1.7.3, I'll check this today.

Edit: Tested in Java 1.7.3 and 1.2.5

1.7.3 You mine 59 cobblestone blocks with a wooden pickaxe
1.2.5 You mine 60 Cobblestone blocks with a wooden pickaxe.

Sometime between these 2 versions a fix must have been added to remedy the situation

Fantastic, thanks for checking on the 1.7.3. I have 1.2.5 java on the pc which is what I tested on, I apologize for not mentioning that in my other post, I was trying to multi-task

I will look forward to it being fix in either of the next two updates, until then I will continue to only mine cobble when the pick is about to break.

A-11 - When you surface to refresh your air, if you do not surface high/long enough your bubbles will appear refreshed, but deplete as if you never surfaced.
U-02 - When the ghast fireballs are glitched, you can not build from within or near the glitch area. If you move as far as possible from the glitch, you can build on the glitch spot.

Also, any items that fall onto a cactus will vanish. Completely. This counts for actual items as well as just farmed bits of cactus. This is true for multiple worlds before and after the 1.7.3 update.

still having issues with the nether portal, the game doesn't lock anymore when going in or out of the nether but when going back to the normal world the portal is in a totally different location of when I went into it. I original put my portal on the top of my pyramid but when I came back from the nether I was over 100 blocks from my pyramid and about 10 to 15 blocks underground! I guess I'm not meant to go into the nether, lol!

So i had downloaded a skyblock map and the map wasnt made to very well so i delted my system cashe and opened the save with the inventory editor from the first update and game myself some obsidion and grass blocks... i then went back to my xbox and didnt download the update to see if everything was working,, it was... so i went back to dashboard and back to minecraft and downloaded update... now whenever i choose a storage device the xbox freezes and doesnt let me move on to pick a save... nethier the harddrive or usb will work.. i delete the update again to see if my minecraft was messed up,, it worked well and everything was fine,,, then i downloaded the update again and then my xbox froze whever i choose a save device... now whenever ii choose a save device my game freezes and xbox xrashes... if anyone can help it would be GREATLY appreciated for i do love minecraft it is my favorite game to play with friends.

i asked for help not insults... i know it was a glitch and this was the first time ive deleted the update and i only did it so i could play skyblock correctly,, so if you could please not be a jerk it would be appreciated

Large mushrooms only grow in shade. Bonemeal does work on them but you need to have something above it - something about 6 or 7 blocks high, make a flat roof and plant a small mushroom under it. Whack it with your bonemeal (doesn't always work first try, keep hitting it) and it will grow.

Large mushrooms weren't added until 1.8. They aren't available in the current XBox version. Therefore, the XBox item description is incorrect.

Still no cave ambience, please fix!

Also, been in many lightning storms with no thunder sound, I've actually never heard thunder in the 360 edition.

I have heard in PC version of course, many times.

I checked the redstone repeaters again. I was wrong. I thought that they were bidirectional and that you could attach redstone to either end. You have to be facing the direction you want it pointing and then the redstone trail behind a series of repeaters will attach. That was my fault.

Another one that I ran into, however, was that a sticky piston will neither push nor retreive a chest. It works on a workbench but not on a chest.

Its intended but you can't get any flint from gravel that way.

I'm afraid you won't get a lot of sympathy here. You've taken a post-patch save which references pistons and other new items that can't exist in the older version, removed the patch, exploited a bug, modified your save to add items using an external editor, then tried to use this modified and glitch exploited save with the updated version of Minecraft and it crashes. Bad luck, start again? It's not a bug, you have screwed up your save game by your own actions, and nobody is going to help you fix it.

Slimes can push/hit you through a single block wall, I left my character standing on top of my 3 block high slime farm and the slimes were actually pushing me around, I was moving without using the controller

I am not able to sleep in a bed when on a ladder.

Hit boxs still seem to close.
