The oldest bugs still actively being tracked in Minecraft is without a doubt the hardest bugs to fix.

Minecraft Official Jira Bug Tracker, sorted

I just find it amazing to see these old bugs with over 100+ versions being tracked for this game, since Minecraft 1.4.1. This is when the public Jira bug tracker is opened up for everyone to report bugs.

Technically, they can close all of those bug tickets and be done with them. I still appreciate the older tickets just for the technical history of the game itself.

I can probably say these active bugs are just too hard to fix, or it's just there for posterity.

The old running joke: There are x bugs in the tracker. You patch one. There are now x+5 bugs in the tracker.

Holy shit I had to deal with this exact same problem like a month ago and it was a massive headache. Fucking Java.

Since they made it public facing it kind of works as a known issues list so closing the tickets as "won't fix" would probably just lead to someone re-reporting a bug.

The fact that the latest Java recommends reading the PROPERTIES file in UTF-8, but you're still having encoding issues even in the latest snapshot, is interesting. Maybe the server code hasn't been touched in a while.

It was on an older app and I didn't have direct access to the actual file API call since it's handled by an internationalization library.
