Moderator Note
Update to the latest graphics drivers (Catalyst 13.12):
AMD Radeon HD 5xxx .. 9xxx (will solve issue)
AMD Radeon HD 2xxx .. 4xxx (won't solve issue), but if you turn down the mipmapping in the Catalyst control center, the problem gets resolved too.
(Links provided for Windows 7 64 bit, for other systems choose the driver at http://support.amd.com/ )
All blocks become black when I hold some items, including flowers, saplings, lever, all rails, normal and redstone torches and probably many more.
Going to the texture pack menu and pressing "Done" temporarily fix this (until I take these items again)
Workaround: Switch off Mipmapping: Game Menu -> Options -> Video Settings -> Mipmap Levels: OFF

Apparently this issue is affecting all older AMD graphics cards. There is an "updated" driver called "Catalyst 13.9" but the driver itself is not updated by AMD, still naming this ATI

Oh, sorry :s
Edit (a bit late) : updating Catalyst resolved the problem for me.

It's definitely affected by non-block items highlighted in inventory. It does this after a game restart, game restarts reset it, that is.

If I holded a block witch is not a solid block, the pixel texture got randomayzed
to random colors. When I selected other resource pack, the problem fixed.
Please fix it, mojang.

Using most recent graphics driver that will install (AMD drivers are a b****)

@Yoann: Please attach a new forced crash report
@Joseph Watson: Please download & install Catalyst 13.9 http://www2.ati.com/drivers/13-9_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql.exe or 13.11 beta: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/amd_catalyst_13.11_betav1.exe , and please report if the error persists (and attach a new forced crash report)

@Kumasasa I've tried installing them. I tried last night (because I'm wondering if newer drivers will actually help with other games) and I'm trying right now (because of this) but it's just not happening.

@Joseph Watson: Cannot help with not installing drivers. Please use the Mojang Support Center, especially the people on the help chat are technically sophisticated.

@Oliver Winstanley: Please download & install Catalyst 13.9 http://www2.ati.com/drivers/13-9_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql.exe or 13.11 beta: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/amd_catalyst_13.11_betav1.exe , and please report if the error persists (and attach a new forced crash report)

error appears to be resolved with new drivers

I've been having the same issue in the 1.7 pre-release but already have the most up to date drivers for my ATI HD4850 card.
As instructed I've forced a crash with F3+C and posted the crash report below.
I've got screenshots and a dxdiag in my old ticket: [MC-36731]
Edit: I've now also tested and the problem does not occur when mipmapping is turned of.
Now at least I can play the game 😃

Have the same problrm here (ati mobility radeon hd) ... when i log into minecraft the whole world is black .. and sometimes first everthing look fine but when placing or changong items/blocks all get black...(and its on the pre-release 1.7.1)

Already mentioned this in the edit of my last comment, but for everyone with the issue: disable mipmapping in the video settings will prevent this issue.
It off course still needs to be fixed, mipmapping definitely makes the game a lot prettier.

i have the same issue and ive turned off the mipmaping and ive gotten a 15-20 fps boost but it does lack that default minecraft feel. Where can i get the lastest drivers?

Don't think everyone can update their drivers because some cards are only supported by the legacy drivers.

@gabe stimac: See the updated description of the ticket.
(Edit: Wrong addressee)

Yes, good. 🙂 Should help most people.

yeah the new drivers allowed my to work with mipmap! just get the new catalyst

Having the same problem. Everything was working fine until I was holding a torch, and it was like the lights went out. I updated my drivers to Catalyst 13.9, and this time the blocks are transparent. Note that this only happens in 1.7 or 1.7.1. If I switch back to 1.6.4, everything is hunky-dory. Attached you will find my crash report.
Edit: AH. If you turn down the mipmapping in the Catalyst control center, the problem gets resolved. Gotcha. Never mind. <blush>

Oh, sorry Kumasasa, my problem was resolved so I stopped following the issue, and I just saw you asked me a new forced-crash report.
I don't know if you still need it but here it is.
Edit : i think you actually asked this before I said it was resolved, didn't you ?

@Thomas Davidson : Thanks for the information, integrated that in the description of the ticket.
@Yoann: Thanks. That is the proof that updating from 3.3.11672 solves the issue. (No, I asked you to attach a new crash report after you wrote that your issue was resolved...)

They look like this

Can someone please tell me how you disable mipmaps?

Game Menu -> Options -> Video Settings -> Mipmap Levels: OFF

Please add some more Tags, this might prevent pne or two of the hundreds of bug reports coming soon...

What about those of us who are using a laptop? I am using a sony vaio and according to their site I am using the most current video drivers and these update links you provided are not working for me.
I am still getting the blue screen or the black screen when I try to play since updating to 1.72.

@Tiffany Laurie : I'm quite sure you are able to google for the right driver for your computer. If not, please use the Mojang Support Center.

My Radeon HD 4800 drivers are said to be up-to-date with Catalyst 13.1 😞
Guess it won't work with the older cards like mine.
Good I simply can turn mipmapping in MC off...

Yes i have checked online I've tried to download the newest and the download always fails. I went to the site on sony for drivers and downloads via vaio care and took all I could for updates which still did not solve it . I even took a beta update called raptr and now I don't know how to turn mipmap ping off . I'm so frustrated I've contacted support

@Tiffany Laurie
How to switch off Mipmapping is written two comments above yours:
Game Menu -> Options -> Video Settings -> Mipmap Levels: OFF

Someone plz fix this problem, i have the same one and i cant do anything on 1.7 if it is not fixed. Same with a lot of other people

@Chunky Melon: Why don't you simply switch off mipmapping ?

Does it help when refreshing?

Have same issue. 1.7.2 is unusable for me. It originally blacked out world, but is now cray when I completely removed minecraft & java & only installed 32 bit java back instead of 64.

Shows the invisible textures and the coloration glitch.

Confirmed on 1.7.2, Textures client side transparent. Some textures have randomized colors. Uploading Image.

@James Allen Moore:
I had a very similar texture glitch in 1.6! Some textures looked all crazy multicolored like the block in your hand in your image, and others were transparent.
It happened to me only once.

-all versions.
-been using one world for a week now.
-tried making new world, joining server, turning off mipmap, putting in new texture pack(been using default), deleting all of minecraft files.
-Drivers are up to date

Kenneth: Your issue is MC-47174

I had this happen twice in 1.7.4, on the same server.
Both times, I was in Creative mode, flying. The first time, I was holding a torch. I don't think I was holding anything the second time.

Happened to me while streaming. Its in every saved and
new game.

Happened to me so many times on an old trashy laptop. I was on 1.14.2.

that happen me now

I don't know what happen it was fine yesterday when I play on bedrock edition
