Java Edition 1.0.0/Development versions

This is a list of Java Edition 1.0.0 development versions.

Beta 1.9 Prerelease

Beta 1.9 Prerelease is the first pre-release for Java Edition 1.0.0, released on September 22, 2011,^[1] which adds Nether fortresses, 6 new blocks including Nether bricks and some variants, 5 new mobs including villagers and blazes, 4 new items including ghast tears, the mushroom island biome, and makes some minor changes.

While initially a pre-release for Beta 1.9, Mojang instead opted to delay the release of this update until MINECON 2011 and release it under the name "Minecraft 1.0.0". This decision was made after a few development versions labelled as Beta 1.9 were already released, so the Beta 1.9 name was kept for all of the development versions in the gap between Beta 1.8.1 and Minecraft 1.0.0, excluding the release candidates (RC1 and RC2).

Controls

• Debug controls (from the pre-re-uploaded version of Beta 1.8 Pre-release):
• F9: Freezes the camera in its current position.
• F6: Enables a strange "bouncy" movement. It locks the player's Y coordinate (meaning they cannot jump or fall). It makes the player accelerate relatively slowly when moving. Additionally, the player can also clip into blocks slightly - at a high enough speed, the player can push all the way through a block. Transparent blocks have no clipping whatsoever.
• N and M: Changes the view's rotation clockwise and anti-clockwise, respectively. Hold both keys simultaneously resets the rotation.
• Y and H: Decreases and increases the field of view, respectively. These keys seem to affect the field of view differently to how the FOV option does - the player's hand (or anything the player is holding) also becomes stretched as the field of view increases or decreases, which does not happen if the player changes the FOV option in the menu. Holding both keys simultaneously resets the field of view.
• I: Makes the player look up, J looks left, K looks down, and L looks right. These movements are normally done by moving the mouse. This setting cannot be reset by holding any keys simultaneously.
• U and O: Moves the third-person camera forwards and backwards, respectively. This setting cannot be reset by holding both keys simultaneously.
