Java Edition 1.5/Development versions

This is a list of Java Edition 1.5 development versions.

13w01a

13w01a is the first snapshot for Java Edition 1.5, released on January 3, 2013.^[1] It mainly added an assortment of new redstone components. This is the first snapshot released in 2013.

Additions

Blocks

Block of redstone

• Stores redstone dust similar to blocks of diamond, etc.
• Emits constant redstone power.
• Works as a pushable redstone power source.

Daylight sensors

• Output power while receiving sunlight.
• The level varies depending on the time (more sunlight = more redstone power), and it does not function at night.

Hoppers

• Places and takes out items in hoppers, chests, furnaces, minecarts with chests, dispensers, and brewing stands.
• Allows for the automation of many processes.
• Still a work in progress (as indicated by the inventory icon ).

Nether quartz ore

• New ore exclusive to the Nether.
• Drops 1 Nether quartz item when mined.
• Generates around netherrack.

Redstone comparator

• Has 3 inputs and 1 output. Input from the back is considered signal A, and whichever side gives the stronger signal is considered signal B.
• Has 2 modes: comparison and subtraction.
• In comparison mode, if A≥B, the output is A, otherwise output stays off.
• In subtraction mode, if A≥B, the output is A-B, otherwise output stays off.
• Replacement for the "capacitor" idea.

Trapped chests

• Gives out a signal depending on the amount of players looking inside. 1 player = 1 strength signal, 2 players = 2, etc.
• Crafted with a chest and a tripwire hook.
• Large trapped chests can be staggered with large chests to allow more compact storage.
• Texture is slightly different than a normal chest, with a red stain around the latch.

Weighted pressure plates

• Detects item stacks.
• Gold version reaches full strength at 60 items.
• Iron version reaches full strength at 600 items.
• Linear, so 10 strength signal means twice as many items as a 5 strength signal.

Items

Nether brick

• Used for crafting Nether bricks.
• Obtained by smelting netherrack.

Nether quartz

• Item dropped from Nether quartz ore.

Changes

Blocks

Locked chests

• Texture for the block was changed from .

Pistons

• Are more stable from previous versions.
  • Sticky pistons are less sticky.​

Redstone circuits

• Are now more consistent.

Items

General

• Now shows the item name in-game.

Gameplay

Death messages

• Now show the weapon someone was killed with.​

Inventory management

• Double-click items to fill the stack up as much as possible.
• Drag item stacks around to divide them up over the dragged-over slots.
• Drag item stacks around with the right mouse button to place one of that stack in each dragged-over slot, if that slot is not occupied already.
• Shift double-click an item stack to move all other item stacks of that kind to that part of the inventory.
• Press Q while the mouse is over an item in the inventory or a container to drop it.

Bugs

• [MC-5711] Redstone torches attached to the side of a block do not pop off if the block supporting them is destroyed.
• [MC-5721] Dragging to spread an item out in the Creative inventory, then clicking on the inventory tab, and placing the 0 stack item down, the game crashes.
• [MC-5728] Infinite loop caused by subtraction mode comparators causes the world to be unplayable.
• Mineral duplication: players can exponentially dupe minerals by putting then in a crafting table with a block of their material, then double clicking on a mineral in the crafting table, works on the same principle as the method below.
• Crafted item duplication: any stackable crafted item can be duplicated by setting up its recipe in a crafting table, then double clicking an existing version of this item in the inventory. Requires at least one of that item to be present in the inventory.

Fixes

3 issues fixed

From released versions before Java Edition 1.5

• MC-177 – [12w26a] Clocked piston arm turns invisible when exiting game/dying/etc.
• MC-184 – [Beta 1.2] (Powered) redstone doesn't update right.

13w01b

13w01b is the second snapshot for Java Edition 1.5, released on January 4, 2013^[2] to fix some of the bugs and crashes in the 13w01a snapshot.

Changes

Blocks

Chests

• All containers output a redstone signal when a comparator is placed against it directly.
  • The strength of it depends on how full the container is.^[3]
• This works with trapped chests as well, meaning it can provide two redstone signals with different causes at the same time.

Hoppers

• Rails can now be placed on top of hoppers, which allows emptying chest minecarts.

An experimental version of 13w02a was released by Dinnerbone on Mojira to try to fix an issue with white textures.^[5]

Additions

Blocks

Activator rails

• Used to trigger minecarts with TNT.
• Need to be powered by redstone.
• Transmit power up to 8 activator rails far.

• When it derails, it explodes instantly, ignoring the usual timer delay.
• Explodes even more violently the faster it goes.
• In Creative mode, when left clicked while moving, the minecart with TNT explodes.

Gameplay

Death messages

• Now includes the cause of death, the player the deceased player was fighting at time of death, and the name of the item used to kill.
• For death messages for fall damage, a complicated system was introduced.
  • There are now two types of messages, "[player] <first>" and "[player] <first> and <last>".
    • <first> can be:
      • fell [off a ladder/off some vines/out of the water/fell from a high place]
      • was [shot/pummeled/blown/fireballed/knocked] [off a ladder/off some vines/out of the water/from a high place]
      • was [shot/pummeled/blown/fireballed/knocked] [off a ladder/off some vines/out of the water/from a high place] by [player/mob]
    • <last> can be:
      • into a pool of lava
      • fell out of the world
      • into a patch of fire
      • into a patch of cacti
      • got finished off by [player/mob]
      • got finished off by [player/mob] using [item]
      • got finished off using [item]
  • There are 352 different death messages for falling. (Technically there are 416 because the verb "blown" exists twice in the en_US.lang file.)

Changes

Blocks

Anvils

• Improved naming of containers.
  • Renamed chests, trapped chests, dispensers, furnaces, brewing stands, and enchantment tables display the new name in their GUI where the normal name used to appear.

Hoppers

• Is now controllable by redstone – players can power it to disable item forwarding.
• Added a proper icon.
• Is no longer considered wooden (cannot be used as a fuel in a furnace, etc.).
• New crafting recipe uses iron ingots rather than stone.
• The redstone signal emitted when a redstone comparator is placed against it directly has changed.
  • 1 item gives a signal strength of 1, a 1/3 of a stack (21 for items which stack to 64) gives a signal strength of 2.
  • The number of full stacks x 3 = signal strength.
  • E.g. 2 stacks of an item/block give a signal strength of 6, while 2 potions also give a signal strength of 6 (because a potion occupies one stack).

Lava

• Changed textures.

Redstone comparator

• Updated texture.
• When fed by containers, they now start giving out a signal as soon as 1 item is in the container, allowing for empty container detection.

Slabs

• The final "seamless" stone slab (and, by extension, smooth stone) has been removed as a result of the addition of quartz slabs.

Trapped chests

Missing textures and models

• Changed the missing texture from to .
• Is now present in the texture atlases stitched_terrain.png and stitched_items.png.

Texture packs

• Textures now use one file per block/item, which are stitched together at runtime – texture sizes don't need to be consistent.
• Any block and item can be animated by putting the frames underneath each other in the right .png – player can use an optional .txt to specify frame order and duration.
• Textures for animated blocks or items (water, lava, fire, nether portal, compass and clock) are no longer procedurally generated, and now have their own texture files.
• Existing texture packs are "automagically" converted.
• Vanilla textures are used if texture files are missing.

  • Before, double chests would only emit a signal depending on how full each individual chest was (a double chest with only the top half full would emit a full signal from the side that the items were in).

Hoppers

• Powering the block now also stops it from taking in items (see comparison between 13w02a and 13w02b).^[8]
