Just a minor thing, chests dont always face the right way when you place them down.

And what would that be?

You can get the creeper skin for free as long as you want on the trial version, seems legit and I think someone just posted it up.
Although I'm too scared to try it even though I said I'll try it(in a way).

So technically, you have 2 creeper skins, one for a trial and one forevah.

Edit: I have no idea what I just posted, I am a retard

Trying to make a piston door, sometimes they go invisible, or halfway invisible.

Also block went invisible.

(I had so many bugs to report)
Rarely, some creepers tend to become "friendly" and not chase after you or blow up when you get near it, it just stays in one spot. When you move it, it moves back in the same spot from which you moved it. Although I don't know if attacking it will it chase after you

When your character is standing by something 2 blocks high and you go as close as possible to it, you cast a sphere shadow by your head, on the block.

Hey chaps, in my pre-1.73 generated world, I now seem unable to mine Redstone or Lapis Lazuli blocks with a gold pickaxe - the blocks just crumble (after a length mining process), and it used to be that iron or better pickaxes would suffice...

Has anyone else experienced this? A little annoying, given that I am now seeking to acquire redstone for circuits!

Are you using an Iron pickaxe, or greater?

Gold tools don't drop any ores, and I'm pretty sure you need Iron, or better for lapiz, and redstone.

"Iron or better" does not include a Gold pickaxes. Take a look at the chart at http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Pickaxe
You need an Iron or Diamond pickaxe to mine Redstone.
Lapis Lazuli can be mined with a stone, iron, or diamond pickaxe.
Gold pickaxes aren't very useful; they do not last long at all, and they can only mine the same stuff that a wooden pickaxe can mine. Their only advantage is speed. So unless you need to mine coal REALLY FAST (some speed challenge or something), don't use gold tools.

Chests currently face one set direction (probably North) every time you place them down unless:

1. You put them in an alcove or corridor in which there is only one front-facing entrance, then they will face that opening

2. You build a double chest, then they automatically switch to face the direction you built it from

I'm not sure which PC version updated this, but that's how it's been in the 360 version since it launched.

Chests face South, not North.
And no, double-chests don't automatically face the direction you build them from, either (build several double chests in the middle of an open floor to prove this to yourself). Most of the time, you build a double chest up against a wall, and when you do, it'll obviously face you.

This annoys me to no end. Why can't it just orient the chest how I place it??
This problem (lets call it a design decision instead of a bug) constantly forces me to do annoying things like put extra blocks between chests to force them to point the right way.

And the most ironic thing?? On the XBox, the latch is purely cosmetic! We don't even get the "chest opening" graphic from the PC!

I know, I know, that means that I shouldn't care, right? Well, I do. And it bugs me

For those having issues with piston elevators could you link a video of the one you are trying or some pictures of ones you have created?

Built an elevator here that seems to work fine.

OK, good to know about cave ambience, thanks for the quick reply. Can't wait for the 1.8 update In regard to thunder sounds, it's probably in the game I've just never heard it yet on the Xbox version.

Why is there a Halo of clear weather above me when I look up when it is raining or snowing.

In split-screen multiplayer, certain sounds (creeper explosions, for example) only work for the primary player.
A secondary player might be surprised to see her player jump and her health drop, then turn around and see a big hole in the ground. No sizzle, no boom.

Weather sounds, also (rain) I think always come from the primary player.

I cant stick a piston to a sticky piston

Add this to the bugs list. Me and my brother was playing on a regular map and then my brother was going home and then an invisible mob killed him and on a different map the same thing happened to me. ALSO I was making a mine in the first map and I fell into an underground water lake and i built some cobble stairs back to the mine I created to get back up for more torches (I used all my torches lighting up the lake) and when I finished the cobble stairs I noticed two stone blocks that BURIED me inside the lake. i have NO idea how it happened since everyone playing was a good 1000 meters away at least and the reason why I added the burial part to this post is to say HE was not patched in 1.7.3!!!

Falling Through Bottom Layer (Into Void) crashes the xbox.
or
Bedrock has holes in it (not sure which is the actual problem)

Me and my friend blew up TNT, around 4 stacks and this happened.

I then jumped into it and kept falling (did not die like in pc) and this crashed my friends (hosts) xbox.

Any1 else having problems like this? After we found this hole, my game is having SEVERE fps issues and lag.


we now built a nice display area as we think its the first void hole found in the xbox version

There is no period when you use "Whats This?" on diamonds

I have a large mob spawner built around layer 40. There is a nearby mine, a few chunks away but close enough to stay loaded in. If I hang out around the mob spawner for a while, then save, exit and change to peaceful, and go to the mine, parts of the cavern contain spawned slimes of various sizes.

Will the crosshair opacity be fixed ? need the option to turn it low without it getting 100% again as soon as you browse thru quick menu / menu.

The chest opening graphic doesn't get added until a later update.

We have identified an issue with Thunder and will be fixing that.

Looking at other sound issues currently.

SWEET! Thanks.... You guys are doing an awesome job, keep up the good work.
