Two errors so far:
Water pushed me into a wall so I suffered damage.
When mining, about half the cobblestone simply disappears. Is this a bug or a feature?

I hope the final 1.3 is better than this.

[edit]Some loot also vanishes. Seems to be a general problem

Your loot/cobblestone is NOT vanishing. The server is combining drops in close proximity to easy the amount of lag those entities create. These "stacks" still contain the same amount of drops. You are still getting the correct amount of items.

Honestly, this needs to be in the official changelog, as so many people are getting confused by this.

Mainly the issue is the server should be handling ALL of the data changes, such as player position, interaction, and everything else not specifically GUI and graphics related. Then the client should only be handling data specifically needed to display the game and world correctly. Old SSP didn't do this properly, the new set-up does.

Why this is important to the API: Now that both SSP and SMP are esssentially the same, the API only needs Client-side plugins and Server-side plugins, and they will work in single player or multiplayer with no issues. The old system was too difficult for doing this.

But this fix only works in a new map. If you load an older one, you still have the old fault.

That's because they didn't change the old wood slabs, they just added in new ones. Any slabs crafted before the change will act like stone, and any crafted after will act like wood. This way current fireplaces/etc don't burn down as soon as the update comes. And some players like it that way, so they're hoarding the current ones on vanilla servers.

*sigh* it was meant to do that, if it gets a repeated signal shorter than 7 ticks I think it burns out. They're keeping it that way.

Actually, iirc the redstone torch is supposed to burn out if it's fed back into it's own block, and turns on/off too quickly in a short amount of time. HOWEVER, after a short time it's supposed to be able to turn back on(rapid pulsar designs utilize this). As well, if you break, then place the torch again, it returns to normal. Currently, if a torch burns out, for any reason, even breaking it and placing it again won't fix it.

Because that'd put every server-hosting company for Minecraft out of business.

Lol definitely not true.
The requirements to run a good server are well beyond the budgets of most of the usual players of this game.
It is MUCH cheaper to just rent a server instead.

The reason they don't want to make it outside, is because it would require port forwarding and other things, and could potentially open up the computer to hacking attempts if it decides to automatically open ports and whatnot.

As far as I know, you can still /publish to the web, but you'd have to manually do the port forwarding.

i dont know if its just me but ever sense they started makeing it to were your singal player game connected to a local host, it made it to were i got insane ammounts of lag, the world had stop generateing in for me and mobs wouldnt move, and when i broke a block nothing would happen, almost as if i had a very laggy connection on multiplayer wich makes the game almost unplayable for me could someone suggest something i could do to help this?
