Confirmed for 15w31b too.

You don't need to keep confirming this issue, it has already been said this won't be fixed before 1.9.

If people would stop spamming my email inbox with useless comments, that would be great.

Thanks, I tried to search but I was unable to find it.

This bug is still present in 1.7.2. It's also reproducible when holding potions. Seems like it happens with all "enchanted" items. Also, your cursor needs to be on an empty slot or an "enchanted" item in your hotbar for the caption to turn black again.

UPDATE: Based on user comments, this is probably not going to help.

For those who are experiencing this issue, please try running the launcher as follows:

$ padsp java -jar /path/to/launcher.jar

If you get an error such as bash: padsp: command not found, try using /usr/sbin/padsp or /sbin/padsp instead.

Alternative solution

This involves writing a wrapper script around the java binary to execute it using padsp.

First, you need to find out where your java binary is located:

$ readlink -f "$(type -p java)"

Note the path down, as you will need it for the following commands.

You have to elevate to root privileges as follows:

$ sudo -i

If the above command doesn't work, try this one:

$ su

If that worked, proceed to execute the following commands, replacing /PATH/TO/java with the actual path you got earlier. (Note: ^D means you should press Ctrl-D.)

# mv /PATH/TO/java /PATH/TO/java.real
# cat > /PATH/TO/java
#!/bin/sh
padsp /PATH/TO/java.real "$@"
^D
# chmod +x /PATH/TO/java

Now you can run the launcher as you normally would.

@Tony: That doesn't seem to be very meaningful. Please run strace again with the -f option added.

I'm unable to reproduce this issue on Arch Linux.

Another friend has successfully reproduced the issue on openSUSE 12.3. (However, I don't know whether 13w41a/b starts for him at all, yet.)

The render distance being capped at 8 chunks for 32 bit systems could as well be an intended feature, but I assume we should wait for an official statement on that.

CubeTheThird:

AMD RADEON HD5560 nouveau open source driver

Nouveau is the open source driver for NVIDIA cards. I guess you meant the radeon driver.

This issue is caused by an invalid NBT tag:

give @p 373 1 16 {display:{Lore:[Name:"Potion of Swiftness"},CustomPotionEffects:[{id:1,Amplifier:3,Duration:3600}]}

It does not crash when using the correct NBT tag (Id instead of id):

give @p 373 1 16 {display:{Lore:[Name:"Potion of Swiftness"},CustomPotionEffects:[{Id:1,Amplifier:3,Duration:3600}]}

This bug is a duplicate of MC-18368. Please use the search function before submitting bugs—according to the mods, over 57% of the bugs are duplicates.

Also, this is an intentional change in one of the recent snapshots. I don't understand how can it be annoying that a sword does not break blocks in creative mode, especially considering that you accidentally hit a block. In my opinion, the old behavior was more annoying.

I don't think there is a vanilla way to break blocks faster than creative, there is only WorldEdit's super pickaxe that I know of.

I'm unable to reproduce this as well. However the blocks do break for a fraction of a second before reappearing if you mine them long enough—this doesn't appear to require an enchantment.

This issue is caused by too much heap space being allocated to Minecraft, leaving the system, and thus OpenGL, too little memory to work with. In recent versions of the launcher, you can reduce the maximum memory allocation in the profile editor.

I'm getting the same issue, I'm on a 32 bit Intel Pentium M 740 1.73 GHz CPU, an nVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 256 MB and 1.5 GB of RAM. Using the dev launcher with 1.5.2, I frequently get graphical glitches, followed by this crash.

I'd say this is a bug, not a feature request. See MC-598

I can't reproduce this. Are you sure what you saw isn't a chunk error?

This is not a bug, it's more of a feature request.
