Beta 1.6.6 is a version of Java Edition Beta released on May 31, 2011,[1] which contains minor changes and fixes some of the bugs and crashes in Beta 1.6.5.
Additions
General
- Added a "Performance" section in video settings.
- Can be set to "Max FPS", "Balanced" or "Power saver".
Changes
Blocks
- Changed the material from "glass" to "stone".
- Made glowstone drop more loot (2–4 glowstone dust).
- Made the recipe size for crafting glowstone smaller (2×2 glowstone dust instead of 3×3).
- Made the recipe size for crafting wool smaller (2×2 strings instead of 3×3).
Items
- Can grow grass and flowers on grass blocks.
Non-mob entities
- Float up to the surface quicker.
- When falling down into water, they lose vertical momentum much faster.
- Crashing into soul sand on a boat now kills the player, but keeps the boat intact.
Fixes
3 bugs fixed
- Fixed beds not working very well in multiplayer.
- Destroying a boat no longer spawns the player too low, causing them to sometimes fall through the ground.
- ⇧ Shift+ clicking a tool into a chest no longer restores it to new.
