Java Edition Beta 1.7.3

Beta 1.7.3 is a version of Java Edition Beta released on July 8, 2011, to fix some of the bugs and crashes in Beta 1.7.2. This version is identical to Xbox 360 Edition TU3.

Fixes

 * 9 bugs fixed
 * Corrected a block duplication bug when using pistons.
 * Corrected a redstone torch duplication bug when using pistons.
 * Corrected a client crash when placing a sign in front of the piston, powering the piston and then removing the block beneath the sign.
 * Ice blocks are now pushed without causing water streams to break everything.
 * Powered rails are no longer being powered magically without a power source.
 * Pistons connected to the end of a piston transistor via redstone are now properly closed when the power goes out.
 * Doors no longer create purple particles.
 * Modified clients can no longer edit texts of placed signs in multiplayer.
 * Changed so that paintings pushed by pistons will pop off.

Trivia

 * This was the last version before the game started getting official pre-releases.
 * This was also the last version to feature the old pre-Beta 1.8 terrain generator with the random terrain.
 * Due to the above, this was also the last version where the player could visit the Far Lands.
 * This was also the last version to include a dirt background in the title screen.
