General

Lighting

  • Changed shading of blocks in the hotbar.
    • Dynamic lighting no longer affects inventory and hotbar items.

Removals

Gameplay

Creative

  • Creative inventory is no longer accessible, as the key-bind for it has been removed, and there is no way to set a key-bind for it in the options menu. Its class file has also been removed.
  • No Creative build of this version was released, so this change goes unused, and can only be found via modifying the game.

Bugs

1 bug reported

  • This version had an issue with mouse controlling.[2]
    • This is caused by having an outdated LWJGL version[4]

Trivia

  • Until Beta 1.8, all versions, with the exception of Indev 0.31 20100113-Creative are in Survival mode only.
    • Note that most Creative mode functionality was still present in the code even through Beta 1.7.3. (Creative mode was re-added in Beta 1.8 Pre-release, 618 days later). As a result, Creative mode can still be enabled in these versions via mods.
