• If your window is at its smaller size while you are playing the demo and you enlarge the window all of the blocks will become transparent, and secretly revealing underground caverns.
• If you open two windows of the demo, one of them playing the world, but paused, and the other one, on the home menu, reset the demo world and then click back to game on the other window, an error message will occur, and if you play the demo, the time will be reset, but not the world, and your inventory items are lost, but not the items in chests.
