This is a list of Java Edition 1.7.6 development versions.

1.7.6-pre1

1.7.6-pre1 is the first pre-release for Java Edition 1.7.6, released on April 3, 2014, which adds support for username changing.[1] This is the first pre-release released in 2014.

Changes

General

Skin

  • Skins and capes are now distributed through servers.
    • Skins server outages occur less frequently and have less impact.[2][3]
    • Skin changes no longer require client restarting, at worst re-logging updates the skin for everybody.
    • Server-altered skins/capes are not possible - only signed URLs are stored server-side.
    • Duplicate skins no longer need to be downloaded twice.
    • Server traffic is barely affected.

Name changing

  • Added support for name changing.
    • The ability to actually change account names will not come until 1.8.[4]

Options

  • The minimum setting for the FOV option is now 30 instead of 70.
