'''Beta 1.7''' is a version of [[Java Edition Beta]] released on June 30, 2011,<ref>https://mcupdate.tumblr.com/post/7080876374/minecraft-beta-17</ref> which adds [[piston]]s and [[shears]] among other changes.

== Additions ==
=== Blocks ===
; [[File:Piston (U) JE1.png|32px]] [[Piston]]s
* Crafted with 3 [[wooden planks]], 4 [[cobblestone]], 1 [[iron ingot]] and 1 [[redstone]].
* Can push blocks when powered by redstone.

; [[File:Sticky Piston (U) JE1.png|32px]] [[Sticky piston]]s
* Crafted with 1 piston and 1 [[slimeball]].
* Can push and pull blocks when powered by redstone.

=== Items ===
; [[File:Shears JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[Shears]]
* New tool that has 238 uses.{{Citation needed}}
* Crafted with 2 iron ingots placed diagonally.
* Can be used to collect [[leaves]] and obtain [[wool]] from a [[sheep]] without harming it.

=== Mobs ===
; [[File:Silverfish_(texture)_JE1.png|64px]] [[Silverfish]]
* Texture was added. However, the mob itself isn't yet present in the game.

== Changes ==
=== Blocks ===
; [[Bricks]]
* Texture changed from [[File:Bricks JE2 BE1.png|32px]] to [[File:Bricks JE3.png|32px]].

; [[Cobblestone]]
* Texture changed from [[File:Cobblestone JE2.png|32px]] to [[File:Cobblestone JE3.png|32px]].

; [[Cobweb]]s
* Now requires shears or a sword to be broken properly, and drops 1 [[string]] when destroyed.

; [[Fence]]s
* Can now place any block on the top.

; [[Slab]]s
* The model of single slabs now uses the bottom half of the full block's texture, changing the look for all slabs from [[File:Sandstone Slab JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[File:Oak Slab JE1.png|32px]] [[File:Seamless Stone Slab JE1.png|32px]] to [[File:Sandstone Slab JE2 BE2.png|32px]] [[File:Oak Slab JE2.png|32px]] [[File:Seamless Stone Slab JE2.png|32px]]

; [[TNT]]
* Can no longer be primed by {{control|hitting}} it with an empty hand or while holding any item other than a [[flint and steel]].
** Instead, the block is destroyed and dropped as an item.
** The old behavior isn't removed completely, and it's hidden behind the data value of 1 which is accessible using map editors.

=== General ===
; [[Control]]s
* When pressing {{key|F3}} in-game, a value ("F") from 0 to 3 appears to indicate direction.

; [[Textures]]
* The [[bed]] and [[cake]] side textures have been shifted downward in the {{mono|[[terrain.png]]}} file.

=== Mobs ===
; [[Sheep]]
* No longer drop 1-3 wool from punching them, instead, they now drop 2-4 when being sheared.
** Now always only drop one wool when killed while not sheared.

== Bugs ==
* Right-clicking on a sheep causes the game to crash.
* Some blocks crash the game when attempted to be pushed or pulled.

== Fixes ==
; 2 bugs fixed
* Fixed [[clay]] generation.
* [[Squid]] can now despawn.</onlyinclude>

== Trailer ==
An official video documenting some of Beta 1.7's major features was released on Mojang's official YouTube channel on June 30th, 2011. The video was made by Hat Films. Made before ''[[Java Edition]]'' was officially released (and long before [[Java Edition 1.7|1.7]] came out), the trailer omits “Beta” when referring to the version number.
