Ok. After several hours of testing I could not come up with a conclusive situation that would reproduce the bug.

The bug seems to activate between initial entry into the world, up to an hour or so after. I tried several seeds.

tried different difficulties and tried different skin packs and textures as well.

Environment testing included day/night cycle, large amounts of water and lava, large or max amount of mobs,

built tunnels that were 50 long x 5 wide, 7 high. 5 of them side by side. Also lit each one up.

For these tests I had worlds with and without host privilages. Both online and offline. All were single player.

Certain things will cause some minor lag but the FPS drop does not seem to coincide with any lag inducing

entity. In fact, I noted that during periods of normal lag, the FPS drop would not occur in any timeframe.

These tests included the wall of lag, Max on every mob, several chests, large amounts of pistons hooked up

to extensive redstone and large waterfalls. I find it strange that normal lag almost seemed to prevent the FPS drop.

So those are the entirety of my findings after 8 or 9 hours of testing. Doesn't seem like it is a normally identifiable bug.

Can someone find a mob that can pick up armour in an old world?

I cannot for the life of me get anything to pick up items.

And yes, mob griefing is on.

A horse was literally eating my axe one time. I will consider that a bug. No I haven't seen any FPS bugs. I have no idea how to see the frames and if they drop. The problem may have been caused due to the user not having XBOX live I think?

We are aware of an issue when changing between gamemodes.

Same if you change fromsurvival to adventure or creative. You will be in survival.

The only mobs I have ever seen pick up armor are zombie villagers and very rarely skeletons. Usually if you find a mob

that has say a helmet or whatever they will also sometimes pick up armor. Any which way it is very difficult to get them to do it

I'm not entirely sure if you were just being sarcastic about not knowing how to see frame drop or if you are just unaware

of how it works. I will go with the latter. Frame drops occur when the information being displayed is slowed down. This

can also cause actions performed during a frame drop to be repeated or erased and set back to an original point.

A typical framerate is 60 frames per second for Minecraft. When a frame drop occurs frames are displayed at a

lesser rate or ever may reset.

Having a game on xbox live/xbox gold/not online has no bearing as to the framerate since it is programmed into the game,

and since several people are having the same issue across the board it is safe to say that online/offline play has no

impact on FPS.

Hey, 4JSteve, I am posting a bug that concerns the TnT. Now, it is quite popular to build and utilize cannon making within Minecraft, and I have built several myself. Upon downloading the update, I noticed a poor lack of performance of my cannons, as they do not launch themselves as they used to when built properly, so I looked into it. Being that several changes have been made to TnT, they just won't take off as they did before. May I kindly suggest making changes for them to launch once more, or maybe give us something else to do this artillery building? That would be so awesome of you guys.

I know that they can be stubborn, but the odds of literally hundred in a row not picking up an item is far too slim.

Dunno if the same applies to PC version of the game, but shouldn't the available Tree saplings (Oak, Spruce, Birch and Jungle) grow in both Creative and survival using Bone Meal? I just tested today in both modes with all saplings and none of them grew when I used bone meal! Might be a bug.

Edit: whoops, dumb me. Took me 2 bone meals to make the sapling grow into a full tree. But shouldn't it grow using only one bone meal per sapling?

No, this was actually implemented into the console edition so bone meal no longer instantly grows items to fully grown.

City Texture Pack, which I downloaded today won't let me save, and I had to download it three times to no avail.

This bug has been getting on my nerves since tu19. Creepers will spawn in light and will also blow up unprovoked.

just a small drop will cause them to explode on impact.

The best way to recreate the bug for exploding is using a xp farm and stand by the well at the bottom. At some point

a creeper will explode on impact.

As for them spawning in light, it always happens out of view. Just recently I had a cave torched up and a creeper got me

with no hiss or warning. I always torch any shaded areas and investigate. A technique that I developed to combat this bug.

No other mobs do this. Just creepers. Perhaps saving frequently will remedy this, or not.

Did you download the trial or full version? Trials disable saving.

He probably downloaded the trial.

I am experiencing problems with water source blocks generating. I laid one water source block in an empty room and an entire line of source blocks generated in the middle of the room. It happens every time. I fill the source blocks with sand but as soon as i delete them the new source blocks are back. :*(

EDIT: room filled with water source blocks, restarted the game and then destroyed the source blocks fixed it. Luckily since restarting i cannot get a repeat performance of this bug.

I do't play on console but roommate does and this last update has broken his MC. he cant even load any of his worlds and the screen does this strange darken then freeze thing and it will stay that way until you restart the console.

Logged in to say this is happening to me. As soon as you select the option to play a game and the box pops up to select a game to load or to make a new one, the screen darkens and the music & sound cuts out. Then when you select a map to load the entire xbox freezes as it says initializing server. Have to do a manual shutdown of the xbox and reboot it.

i tried deleting and downloading the update again and clearing the cache to no avail. I am also playing off the disc version (xbox360) and cannot uninstall the game since I'm not allowed to install it in the first place. Game is currently busted for me.

9/14 Update

I was able to solve the darkening gamma problem. Went into the settings and was able to make adjustments. After that the screen hasnt darkened. However I cannot load the main world i play with my kids. It just freezes up and I have to manually turn off the xbox. I was able to load my own world though. But it is weird. Every block I see gets a pop up like its the first time I've seen that block. I also can move around with the left stick but the right stick is unresponsive so no looking around or turning.

So uh...on a lighter note...has anyone else's sprinting been cutting off more often than it used to?
