1.7.6 is a minor update to Minecraft (Java Edition) that was released on April 9, 2014,[1] which implemented a new player skin system and support for player name changing. It is incompatible with 1.7.21.7.5 servers. It was replaced the same day by 1.7.7 to fix a major bug, and then again the next week by 1.7.8 and 1.7.9.

Changes[]

General[]

Minecraft Realms
  • Improved 'configure' screen.
    • Can now OP players from the config screen.[2]
    • Easier to invite and uninvite players.
    • New button to close and unclose realm.
Name changing
  • Support for name changing.
    • Only the support for changing names, actually being able to change name came on February 4, 2015.[3][4]
Options
  • The server resource packs option is now per-server, and has three settings: prompt, enabled, and disabled.
  • The minimum setting for the FOV option is now 30 instead of 70.
Skins
  • Skins and capes are now distributed through servers.
  • Skins server outages will occur less frequently and have less impact.[5][6]
  • Skin changes will no longer require client restarting, at worst re-logging will update the skin for everybody.
  • Server-altered skins and capes are not possible - only signed URLs are stored server-side.
  • Duplicate skins no longer need to be downloaded twice.
  • Server traffic will barely be affected.

Trivia[]

  • As a result of the old skin server being shut down, 1.7.6 is the oldest version of the game where skins still work without the use of modifications or third-party programs.
  • 1.7.6 is the first version since 1.0.0 to use explicit pre-release labeling.
  • 1.7.6 is the first version to use the "-pre" notation for pre-releases.
