1.7.7.0 February Leak was technically the first glimpse at BTA's 1.7.7.0 update, disseminated via Discord from an as-yet-unknown source on February 18th, 2023. Though containing many features from the upcoming update, it was rife with bugs and performance issues, and was clearly not intended to be a finished product.

Some three versions exist of the leaked update, with the precise differences between them remaining unknown past a minor bugfix concerning text entry crashing the game, patched after the first update. These versions have no classification scheme as yet, as they are otherwise only imperceptibly different, and thus it is difficult to distinguish and differentiate between them - all is known is that the download links were slightly different.
