I think it's technically possible, you can specify an order of versions applications can follow to find the first compatible version. Applications > Utilities > Java Preferences.
However, I think some applications don't do that properly, and I do believe Minecraft is one of them. I do remember having to change the order to have the latest version on top, otherwise malfunctions may occur.
Well I don't really agree with that. It may not be a bug in that blocks are misidentified, but it certainly is highly inconsistent. Why have a separate colour for clay, for example, one of the blocks you're hardly ever really looking for nowadays, and a separate colour for wood, but make obsidian the same as stone? Or why make mushroom blocks, pumpkins, dandelions and roses all green?
With there being 14 base colours and 56 actual colours (of which 14 are duplicates anyway), this doesn't fit with the 8bit/binary style of numbering everything else has, and is clearly unfinished or meant to be expanded. Originally maps only had 1 zoom level, but with the option for more built in. That shows the maps were not yet completely done when they were released. This too simplified palette obviously needs to be expanded.
So, no bug, maybe, but inconsistent behavior and clearly not fully done.
Also happens with just the spider's eyes, even when not hitting them.
I don't really see it either.
It may look like it, because of the contrast between the pot and the background. The eye plays lots of tricks.
Your old world may still be there, because Minecraft actually doesn't appear to delete worlds completely. Go to your Minecraft saves folder and see if your old world folder is still there. Make a backup of it. Go back into Minecraft and create a new world, with the exact same name (and seed, if you remember) as your old one. You may spawn in a completely different location, but should find most (if not all) of your old world still there.
If that didn't work, try to copy the contents of your backup back to the newly created world and see if that brings back anything of your old world.
I hope that helps at least. And for the future, always make regular backups of your worlds, just in case the game glitches out.
For some reason, probably Minecraft didn't update its list of worlds when you deleted the temporary one, so when you tried that again, it deleted your regular world, is my guess.
The issue here is that worlds do not get completely deleted when attempted to delete from within Minecraft. Then when a new world is created with the same name as the one supposedly deleted, features of the old world will show up.
A workaround is to delete worlds not from within Minecraft, but in the OS, like in Finder on Mac. Preferably though, when one clicks the Delete World button, the entire world's folder gets deleted, with all its contents. At this moment I see no reason why Minecraft should not do this.
Alright, but both issues are probably one and the same, regardless of it happening to a different block type. It's a render issue, I'd think, and the renderer doesn't care about block types. If for some reason it decides to flip normals, it will do so everywhere, not just on fences or fence gates. As such, the issues describe the same fault. Try 1.4.3pre if you want, and see if that fixed the fences as well as the fence gates.
Might be intentional, after all, you can't pick up the cake normally either. And what would a half-eaten cake drop?
Could somebody please edit the title of this issue?
[edit] Thank you very much, it's easier to find now 🙂
How is this, which is clearly intended behavior, not being closed and marked as such, while the missing colours on the map, which is clearly an unfinished feature, is closed and marked as intended (again, which not entirely so)? This does not make sense, dear mods.
