'''1.7.6-pre1''' is the first pre-release for [[Java Edition 1.7.6]], released on April 3, 2014, which adds support for username changing.<ref>{{cite|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413133146/https://mojang.com/2014/04/minecraft-1-7-6-pre-release/|title=Minecraft 1.7.6 & name changing FAQ|date=April 3, 2014|author=Dinnerbone|website=Mojang.com}}</ref>

== Changes ==
=== General ===
; [[Skin]]
* Skins and capes are now distributed through servers.
** Skins server outages occur less frequently and have less impact.<ref>{{tweet|Dinnerbone|422751486708551681|Rewriting how skins/capes are distributed. Servers will download the info from us and redistribute it clients, should be much more stable!|January 13, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{tweet|Dinnerbone|422751718234148864|It basically means that skins shouldn't go down as much (if they do it won't matter as much too), and changing your skin is more instant.|January 13, 2014}}</ref>
** Skin changes no longer require client restarting, at worst re-logging updates the skin for everybody.
** Server-altered skins/capes are not possible - only signed URLs are stored server-side.
** Duplicate skins no longer need to be downloaded twice.
** Server traffic is barely affected.

; Name changing
* Added support for name changing.
** The ability to actually change account names will not come until [[Java Edition 1.8|1.8]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140307083916/https://www.mojang.com/2014/03/minecraft-snapshot-14w10a/ Minecraft snapshot 14w10a]; Mojang.com - March 6, 2014</ref>

; 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.

== Trivia ==
* 1.7.6-pre1 is the first pre-release which uses the new naming convention, ''version''-pre''n''. Previous versions incremented the minor version number instead of the pre-release counter.
* This version was previously removed from the [[launcher]] for some time, but was added back in September 2018.
