Java Edition 1.7.6
This page covers a release version that has a critical issue under certain conditions.
The dedicated server for this version includes a security vulnerability in the Log4j library that could be used to perform a remote code execution exploit. It can be addressed by appending a certain JVM argument to the server startup command line.[1]

1.7.6 is a minor update to Java Edition that was released on April 9, 2014,[2] which implemented a new player skin system and support for player name changing. It is incompatible with 1.7.2–1.7.5 servers. It was replaced the same day by 1.7.7 to fix a major bug, and then again the next week by 1.7.8 and 1.7.9.
Changes
General
- Improved 'configure' screen.
- Can now OP players from the config screen.[3]
- Easier to invite and uninvite players.
- New button to close and unclose realm.
Name changing
- Support for name changing.
- The server resource packs option is now per-server, and has three settings: prompt, enabled, and disabled.
- The minimum setting for the FOV option is now 30 instead of 70.
- Skins and capes are now distributed through servers.
- Skins server outages occur less frequently and have less impact.[6][7]
- Skin changes no longer require client restarting, at worst re-logging updates the skin for everybody.
- Server-altered skins and capes are not possible - only signed URLs are stored server-side.
- Duplicate skins no longer need to be downloaded twice.
- Server traffic is barely affected.
Fixes
From releases before 1.7.2
- MC-33086 – Save-all causes lag spikes on larger maps.
From 1.7.2
- MC-31468 – Holes in bedrock and Replaced any block using Arbitrary TNT and flame bows.
From earlier released 1.8 development versions
- MC-47723 – Broadcast settings - report to Mojang, links to previous bug reporting facility.
From 1.7.4
- MC-48826 – "replace" directive in sounds.json does not work.
From 1.7.5
- MC-51953 – Almost instant motion sickness due to distorted rendering.
Reupload
The json date is 18 minutes before our jar.
Trivia
- As a result of the old skin server being shut down, 1.7.6 is the oldest version of the game where skins still work without the use of modifications or third-party programs.
- 1.7.6 is the first version since 1.0.0 to use explicit pre-release labeling.
- 1.7.6 is the first version to use the "-pre" notation for pre-releases.
