Java Edition Beta 1.2 02

Beta 1.2_02 was released mainly to change where skins are downloaded from.

Additions

 * Pressing + generates a corrupted 1.8 GB TGA format screenshot. While the file is being generated, the game freezes and experiences major graphical distortions. This is unfinished test code, as confirmed by Notch.

Changes

 * Skins are now downloaded from Amazon S3, instead of minecraft.net


 * Lapis lazuli ore now drops 4 - 8 lapis lazuli per block mined (increased from 1) on single player only (Minecraft Beta servers have not been affected yet).


 * Lapis lazuli ore can be found at bedrock level.


 * Ink Sack has been renamed to Ink Sac.

Trivia

 * Beta 1.2_02 is the oldest version in the launcher to have working skins.
 * However, if the player changed their skin after 1.8, the last skin the player used prior to 1.8 will be displayed. This occurs in all versions after Beta 1.2_02 until 1.3.1, and it is currently unknown why this happens and why 1.3.1 is the oldest version to display post-1.8 skins.
