Proto:Minecraft: Java Edition/Beta/Beta 1.9
This is a sub-page of Proto:Minecraft: Java Edition/Beta.
Beta 1.9, unofficially titled The Lost Update due to not being included in the launcher are a set of 6 pre-release builds of the official 1.0 release of Minecraft. The reason for its naming scheme being changed was so that Mojang could tie the official release in with Minecon 2011, but this had happened after several development versions were released and are thusly included here for consistency.
 | Beta 1.9 Prerelease 1 The first pre-release update for 1.0.0. Notable changes include dark monster spawners and a few other new things. |
 | Beta 1.9 Prerelease 2 The second pre-release update for 1.0.0. Notable changes include the earliest form of brewing. |
 | Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 The third pre-release update for 1.0.0. Notable changes include an early texture for End Stone and early End portal frames. |
 | Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4 The fourth pre-release update for 1.0.0. Notable changes include the End finally being added, and... a round sun and moon?! |
 | Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5 The fifth pre-release update for 1.0.0. Notable changes include lots of slight changes to several textures. |
 | Beta 1.9 Prerelease 6 The sixth and final pre-release update for 1.0.0. Notable changes include a new side texture for grass blocks, along with several changes to sounds. |
