Mining an empty jukebox creates an invisible "Air" item. Interacting with the item will crash the game and likely delete the chunk the jukebox was in.[1]

Other editions with a version "1.4.4":
1.4.4 is a minor update to Java Edition that was released on November 14, 2012, primarily to fix bugs from 1.4.2.[2][3]
A pre-release version of 1.4.4 was released on November 8, 2012,[4] though the full release of 1.4.4 is identical to this pre-release.
Additions
Items
- Implemented the music disc "wait".
- This music disc was originally added to the game's files in Beta 1.9 Prerelease 2 named "where are we now", but could not be implemented due to issues with the spaces in its name, so it has been renamed to "wait".
Command format
- Used to give specific enchantments to tools and weapons.[note 1]
General
- F3 + B now shows the hitbox around entities.
- At this point, the hitbox is white and opaque and does not have an outline.
Changes
Blocks
- When in creative mode, flying through cobwebs does not slow the player down, but walking through them will.[note 1]
- Water now completely negates all fall damage.[6]
Mobs
Baby mobs
- Can now drop music disc "11" when killed by a skeleton.
- Now die when they are not underwater.[note 1]
Removals
General
- Wall block collision boxes no longer lose precision at extreme coordinates.
- This is likely due to the fixing of MC-1332.
