'''Beta 1.4''' is a version of [[Java Edition Beta]] released on March 31, 2011,<ref>{{Word of Notch|4279964053|The 1.4 update and the April Fools joke|March 31, 2011}}</ref> which added [[wolves]], [[cookie]]s and a new ''Minecraft'' logo as well as other changes and fixes.
Beta 1.4 was reuploaded an hour and a half after release to remove debug code.<ref>[https://gist.github.com/Pokechu22/f87c3586fd09b987d1f215fc531c2878 diff_1.4-1_b1.4-2.diff] Gist</ref>
== Additions ==
=== Blocks ===
; [[File:Chest JE1.png|32px]] [[Locked chest]]s
* Was an April Fools' gag.
** It linked to the [[Minecraft Store]], but the link has since been removed.
** Clicking it instead opens the website that downloads ''Minecraft''.
* Could not be broken except for explosions.
* Randomly generates in the world if the date is set to April 1st.
=== Items ===
; [[File:Cookie JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[Cookie]]s
* New [[food]] item.
* Heals the [[player]] for 0.5 hearts.
* Can be stacked up to 8, making it the first stackable food item.
=== Mobs ===
; [[File:Wolf JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[Wolves]]
* Neutral mobs.
* Players can tame them.
* When killed, they drop nothing.
=== General ===
; [[Missing textures and models|Missing content]]
* [[File:Missing Texture JE1.png|32px]] Added the missing texture.
** Used if a texture is absent from the game files.
** Only visible through modding (including removing an image file from the jar).
** Previously the game would just outright crash if a texture was absent.
== Changes ==
=== Blocks ===
; [[Bed]]s
* Sleeping in a bed now resets spawn position, though does not work for most users.
** At the moment the spawn point unintentionally only changes if "Leave bed" is clicked and the function is limited to multiplayer.<ref>{{tweet|jeb|54832115665207296|Bed respawn point only works in SMP, and only if you click leave bed.|April 4, 2011}}</ref>
; [[Ladder]]s
* Sneaking while climbing hangs on to the [[ladder]].
; [[Wheat]]
* Now grows more quickly.
=== Mobs ===
; [[Sheep]]
* Can now spawn with pink or brown [[wool]] (very rarely, however).
; [[Spider]]s
* No longer trample [[crops]].
* Have their walking sounds removed.
=== Gameplay ===
; [[Achievement/Java_Edition|Achievement]]s
* Lots of infrastructure has been implemented.
=== General ===
; [[Control]]s
* The new default hotkey for the [[inventory]] is {{key|E}}.
; [[Title screen]]
* Changed ''Minecraft'' logo from [[File:Java Edition logo 6.png|x20px]] to [[File:Java Edition logo 7.png|x20px]].
; [[Multiplayer]]
* Servers can now have a new world seeded with an option in the server.properties file.
; [[Options]]
* Scale of UI may now be changed in <code>options.txt</code> located in the <code>.minecraft</code> folder.
; [[Statistics]]
* Lots of infrastructure for statistics lists have been implemented.
=== World generation ===
; [[Dungeon]]s
* Added [[cocoa beans]] to dungeon chests.
== Fixes ==
; 4 bugs fixed
* [[Zombie]]s and [[spider]]s now hurt the player in all instances.
** Before this version, [[zombie]]s and [[spider]]s only hurt the player if they were 1 block above their location.{{more info|who was above who's location?}}
* Client-sided [[slime]] spawn on [[multiplayer]] has been fixed.
* Arm no longer swings when player cannot place a block.
* Opening and closing the [[inventory]] quickly while swinging no longer removes the character 'swinging' animation, which previously made destroying blocks faster. (Multiplayer only).
== Reupload ==
Beta 1.4 was reuploaded around an hour and a half after its initial release. The later version removed a small unused section of code added in the initial version which tracks the player's walking distance in memory, presumably testing code accidentally left in the game for [[Beta 1.5]], which added [[statistics]] namely, a statistic that tracks how many meters the player has walked.
