Trivia
- In the title screen, when the language is set to Afrikaans, this snapshot includes a phrase in English calling the user a racial slur in place of the Singleplayer button's text. Mojang lead developer Jens Bergensten acknowledged the problem and explained that it was the result of a prankster abusing the open translation system. The offensive content was removed in the next snapshot, and the responsible user was banned.
