Beta 1.6.6 is a version of Java Edition Beta released on May 31, 2011, which contains minor changes and fixes some of the bugs and crashes in Beta 1.6.5.

Additions

General

Options

• Video Settings
  • Added a Performance section.
  • Can be set to Max FPS, Balanced or Power saver.

Changes

Blocks

Glowstone

• Changed the material from "glass" to "stone".
  • This means the player would need a pickaxe to get resources from it.
  • This also means the player can now place redstone, torches, levers, etc. on the block.
• Made glowstone drop more loot (2–4 glowstone dust).
• Made the recipe sizes for creating glowstone smaller (2×2 instead of 3×3).

Wool

• Made the recipe sizes for creating wool smaller (2×2 instead of 3×3).

Items

Bone meal

• Can grow grass and flowers on grass blocks.

Non-mob entities

Boats

• Boats float up to the surface quicker.
• Boats falling down into water lose their vertical momentum much faster.
• Crashing into soul sand on a boat now kills the player, but keeps the boat intact.

Fixes

3 bugs fixed

• Fixed beds not working very well in Multiplayer.
• Destroying a boat will no longer spawn the player too low, causing them to sometimes fall through the ground.
• ⇧ Shift+ clicking a tool into a chest no longer restores it to new.

Trivia

• The first version of the Legacy Console Edition was the same as this version of Minecraft.
