Beta 1.2_02 is a version of Java Edition Beta released on January 21, 2011,[1] that mainly changed where skins are downloaded from.
The version of Beta 1.2_02 in the launcher is missing its META-INF file, but is otherwise identical.
There is a later instance of this version, from May 17, 2011, which features many secret developer features.
Additions
General
- Pressing ⇧ Shift + F2 generates a 36450×17700 TGA format screenshot (which ends up being 1.8 GB, and no UI included). While the file is being generated, the game freezes and experiences major graphical distortions. This is unfinished test code, as confirmed by Notch.[2] This "feature" would go on to be removed in Beta 1.5.
Changes
Blocks
- Now drops 4–8 lapis lazuli per block mined (increased from 1) on single player only (servers have not been affected yet).
- Can now be found at bedrock level.
Items
- Renamed from Ink Sack.
- Corrected name from Coco Beans.
General
- Now downloaded from Amazon S3, instead of Minecraft.net.
Trivia
- Prior to the 2018 skin update, Beta 1.2_02 was the oldest version in the launcher to have working skins.
