Alpha v1.2.2 is a version of Java Edition Alpha released on November 10, 2010, at 16:16 UTC.[1] Server version 0.2.4 was released with this version, which mainly fixed bugs.
The original version contained debug code that spawns the player with a lava bucket upon creating a world.[2][3][4]
The reupload version #1, known as Alpha v1.2.2a in launcher, was released at 16:24 UTC to remove the debug code that spawns the player with a lava bucket.
The reupload version #2, known as Alpha v1.2.2b in launcher, was released at 19:38 UTC to remove the debug code that generates a Nether portal using F4.
Additions
General
General
- Support for more animation settings.
- Support for 16×16 texture packs.
- Prior to this update, users would need to manually change the texture packs by overwriting the terrain.png image in minecraft.jar files, or use a patcher.
Changes
Blocks
- Now flows 8 blocks in the Nether.
- Before, it flowed the same distance as it does in the Overworld.
Gameplay
- It now takes longer for the "Took too long to log in" screen to appear when connecting to a server.
General
- Now contains the texture pack selection menu for easy texture pack switching, replacing the "play tutorial level" button.
- Now displays the version name in the top-left corner.
Fixes
5 bugs fixed
- Players and mobs on fire, in lava, or next to cacti no longer plays the hurt sound every tick.
- Getting hit with a higher damage while recovering from a smaller one works as intended.
- Duplicating buttons when resizing screens fixed.
- Zombie pigmen and ghasts no longer get hurt by fire and lava.
- Fixed volume sliders not saving properly.
Debugging version
Alpha v1.2.2a added generation of a Nether portal using F4.
Trivia
- pack.png, the image that is present when a texture pack has no default image, was introduced in this version. It was generated with the seed
3257840388504953787, likely during this version's development.[5] - Shortly before the update released, "texture packs" were going to be called "skins."[6] While they were called texture packs in-game, the change log for this update refers to them as both "skin packs" and "texture packs."[7]
