Hmmmm...

Level storage version: 0x00000 - Unknown?

Possibly driver issue. Mine is:

OpenGL: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 GL version 4.0.0 - Build 9.17.10.2932, Intel

And works fine even before update (although I don't remember what version it was before update).

Moved all the graphic cards from the comments to the description.

Eric LeBlanc 2013-04-07T12:22:00Z

Fixed by allocating more RAM to minecraft.

kumasasa 2013-04-07T13:57:30Z

Please define "more".

Jed Harvey 2013-04-07T19:43:17Z

Does the amount of RAM allocated to Minecraft really affect the graphics card?

Jed Harvey 2013-04-26T20:01:11Z

This happens for me very frequently in LAN multiplayer. I don't know if this would affect it but I was playing with my friend, no internet, and 2 computers hooked through an ethernet cable.

Erik Broes 2013-04-26T20:53:49Z

Does this still happen in 1.5.2?

Jed Harvey 2013-04-26T23:30:22Z

Are you asking if it has been fixed or if it generally happens in 1.5.2 because we are still in 1.5.1

Erik Broes 2013-04-27T06:45:32Z

Please try out the latest 1.5.2 pre-release from http://mojang.com/2013/04/1-5-2-pre-release-and-13w17a-snapshot-oh-my/ and let us know if you still experience this issue.

Jed Harvey 2013-04-28T19:13:34Z

This .jar file is different from what the normal one is. Do I treat is as a regular snapshot and delete the old minecraft.jar file or do I just place it in the .minecraft or what?

Erik Broes 2013-04-28T19:49:12Z

Just start it from the new launcher.

Tails 2013-05-02T20:49:15Z

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Tails 2013-05-21T15:10:53Z

No more reported issues about this, resolving as fixed.

David Buddy 2013-06-15T11:44:54Z

The interesting thing is that this graphical glitch does not happen in superflat worlds. Yes I have this bug too but it does not start in superflat worlds. Perhaps this could have something to do with world generation.

Keller Anthony 2013-07-27T12:21:58Z

I still have the bug on my Asus n76vj with hd 4000 driver V9.17.10.2875.01 in 1.6.2 minecraft version

kumasasa 2013-07-27T17:09:26Z

@Keller Anthony: Old or new launcher ? What Minecraft version ?

Keller Anthony 2013-07-27T17:43:15Z

Optifine seems to be the problem
