Issues and fixes

Mojang has created an Official Bug Tracker that you can use to find or report bugs. Please search for your problem before reporting it, as it may have already been fixed for the next update or reported previously. Reporting bugs multiple times does NOT help the developer fix them faster.

General fixes

When in doubt, using the Force update function in the launcher's options can be a good place to start. Mods installed into Minecraft's folder may be lost during this process.
Some problems can be solved by simply restarting the client.
