Can confirm a brown stripe at the horizon in north and south, but not in east and west direction.

Is this with mipmapping or anisotropic filtering turned on? That's an important distinction to make in texture bugs like this one.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.2 / Launcher version 1.2.8 ? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Getting a dark band at the horizon with mipmapping enabled in 1.7.2

This bug is only visible with mipmapping and anisotropic filtering on max settings. This happens on both nvidia (gtx285) and amd/ati (hd5650) graphic cards. Both with latest drivers.

This bug might be somehow related to the order these settings were turned on. If MIP and Anisotropic Filtering are turned on at the same time (on at start, or changed in 1 save of options) this error will occur.

However, if you turn on MIP (all the way up) first, save the settings, and then turn Anisotropic filtering (all the way up) and save the settings again, the issue is not present.

(additionally, any instance of anisotropic filtering will give non-standard resolution objects odd mappings in the hand, offsetting different the texture mappings)

I'm also able to reproduce this bug on Minecraft 1.7.4 on Linux.

I have tested this and the workaround does at least not work on my system.

This doesn't work for me either on 1.7.9

Invalid. Anisotropic filtering option has been removed.

Preben Gjelsvik 2014-06-23T12:35:29Z

@Gary Closse I'd rather call it "fixed".

Itouch2 2014-06-23T12:37:04Z

yes, or fixed.

user-ed7ab 2014-06-23T20:47:53Z

Is there a special reason anisotropic filtering was removed?

kumasasa 2014-06-23T21:03:44Z

Causing too many problems (like this one...)

user-ed7ab 2014-06-23T21:06:54Z

This is what I have expected at most. But I'm not wondered about that Mojang is not able to fix these things.

insomniac_lemon 2015-05-03T05:03:27Z

Ezekiel, why are you removing all of these tags on old and resolved issues?

Yeah, sure they're ambiguous making them useless, but it's annoying that I (and probably many others) have gotten 9 spam emails in the past few hours (more from the Arisa bot) on this tiny little tag change when the reason I'm watching is mostly for comments/status changes (no simple way to do that or mass-unwatch all closed issues that I'm aware of).

Is it not possible to just delete all instances of the "bug" and "glitch" tags without notifying (or instead sending ONE email to) people?

Incorrect labels clutter the search results, and users tend to give up looking through them if there are too many results for a query. Then they create duplicate issues because they couldn't find the correct one. So we're cleaning up the tracker while activity is low. Unfortunately, the Jira software doesn't have very good tag management. You can't globally edit or remove labels; you have to change them on each issue individually. Most of us moderators have... significantly more than 9 watched issues, so we're getting a lot of spam too. If we can find a way to edit the labels without triggering an email notification, we'll probably use it.
