Java Edition Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3

This page covers a development version that has an issue under certain conditions.
 
The pre-reupload and first reupload versions include otherwise unobtainable end portal blocks (among others) in the inventory by default. Hovering over the portals will crash the game as there is no display name assigned to them.[1]
The pre-reupload version of this release is lost.
 
While this release is known to exist, it has not been archived in the launcher or elsewhere, and is therefore considered lost.
If you believe you have a copy of this version, please post it on the talk page of this page.

Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3[2][3][4] is the third pre-release for Java Edition 1.0.0, released on October 6, 2011, which adds five new blocks including the brewing stand and enchantment table, as well as the eye of ender, five baby animal variants, XP levels, the enchantment glint effect, and completed potion mechanics. Unlike the client, the server for this version was not reuploaded.

The original version of the Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 was released shortly before 14:57 UTC on October 6 and included a debug feature where players spawned with full stacks of enchantment tables, bookshelves, End portal frames, and End portal blocks. The first reupload of Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 was released at around 14:58 UTC,[5] removing some code relating to the ender dragon. This was possibly done to avoid leaking information, as the ender dragon had not yet been announced. The second reupload was released at around 15:08 UTC, removing the debug blocks in the hotbar.[6]

Fixes

2 bugs fixed

  • Fixed snow golems being able to enter love mode.
  • Fixed killing a player with a dispenser from crashing the server.[7]

Trivia

  • Due to a bug, multiplayer servers generate sky dimension chunks starting in this version. The biome of these chunks is random if saved in multiplayer, however, if they are saved in singleplayer, they change to plains biomes, no matter if snow had generated in the chunks. This was fixed by 1.0.0.
