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
- 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 "Server Resource Packs" option is now per-server, and has three settings: prompt, enabled, and disabled.
- The minimum setting for the FOV option is now 30 instead of 70.
Fixes
From releases before 1.7.2
- MC-33086 – Save-all causes lagspikes on larger maps.
From 1.7.2
- MC-31468 – Holes in bedrock and Replaced any block using Arbitrary tnt and flame bows.
From 1.7.4
- MC-48826 – "replace" directive in sounds.json does not work.
From earlier released 1.8 development versions
- MC-47723 – Broadcast settings - report to Mojang, links to previous bug reporting facility.
From 1.7.5
- MC-51953 – Almost instant motion sickness due to distorted rendering.
Trivia
- 1.7.6-pre1 is the first pre-release which uses the new naming convention, version-pren. Previous versions incremented the minor version number instead of the pre-release counter.
- This version was previously removed from the launcher for some time, but was added back in September 2018.
