Java Edition Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3
This page covers a development version that has an issue under certain conditions.
The pre-reupload version includes otherwise unobtainable end portal blocks (among others) in the hotbar by default. Attempting to hover over the portals with the mouse cursor will crash the game as there is no display name assigned to them.[1]

Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 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, experience levels, the enchantment glint effect, and completed potion mechanics.
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 in the hotbar.
Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 was reuploaded at around 15:08 UTC, removing the debug blocks in the hotbar.[2] Unlike the client, the server for this version was not reuploaded.

Fixes

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.
