1.7.5 Pre-1 is the first development version of Minecraft Beta 1.7.5, released on August 6, 2021.

Changes

Blocks

Added Motion Sensor.

• These new blocks emit a redstone signal when they spot someone - or something - move past.

Slabs:

• Notch's old slabs have undergone a complete rewrite, now supporting more blocks, improving behavior, and adding the ability to be placed upside down.
• Brick slabs!
• Slabs can now be placed on slabs without the block above being empty.

• Piston crushing! Putting a block between a piston and a block of obsidian will break it, dropping the block.

• Dirt paths now have a side texture! at long last!

• Nerfed moss.

• Bookshelves now drop themselves.

Items

Added Hand Cannon.

• What happens when you fire a pellet packed with gunpowder out of a high-powered slingshot? At long last, we have an answer.

Added Quiver.

• These extremely rare items provide a seemingly bottomless supply of arrows.

Added Arrow.

• Channel your inner Robin Hood with these new projectiles that can fire right through enemies.

Added Cloth.

• Replacing feathers as the traditional zombie drop, cloth is now a vital component in crafting beds.

Chainmail Armor:

• Deep in the heart of labyrinths, the boldest players will be able to find chainmail gear, which has the unique property of being repairable.

Boat:

• Better boats! Tougher and more controllable boats for getting around the world easier.

Leather Boots:

• Wearing leather boots will stop crops being trampled underfoot.

Door:

• Can now be stacked to 64!

• Axes break leaves fast as lightning! Good for cutting down those pesky big trees.

Mobs

Added armored zombie.

• These fearsome opponents, clad in rusted chainmail, will prove a challenging fight for even the most prepared players.

World

Added labyrinths.

• These sprawling dungeons feature greater challenge in exchange for unbelievable treasures.

• Slimy caves! Below a certain level, slime chunks will be literally dripping with ooze to help identify them more easily.

• Re-worked monster spawning! Hostile spawning light level is now tied to difficulty, with them spawning much more frequently at night on hard and normal. They also spawn at a lower light level in general (max 4 instead of 8).

Miscellaneous Changes

• New achievements! Finally, be rewarded for your exploits.

• Bigger portals! Nether portals can now be as big (or as small) as you like.

• Skins! Flex your cool unique skin you paid some stranger $5 to make.

• Shift click! It's now possible to transfer fuel and items into furnaces by shift-clicking, as well as equipping armor via the same method.

• HD textures! You can now use 32x32 textures and beyond, so you can finally port that texture pack you like without the bricks being on fire.

• New logo! Show off the fact you're playing Better than Adventure.

• New splashes! The game now features over 100 community-written splashes on the main menu.

Bug Fixes

• Ore overlays and dirt paths now render properly in old lighting.

• Sugarcane can now be placed on sand.

• Blocks can be placed on tall grass.

• Bit depth fix.

• Fixed door redstone behaviour.
