Jeb has provided us with the last Pre-Release version of 1.9 - get it here! Remember, this cannot be obtained via the launcher, and must be installed manually. Don't forget to report any bugs you find here, so they can be properly documented and fixed!

Server hosters can get the new SMP jar here.

Note: "There's a hardcore tooltip remaining in the world options menu. Please ignore it, hardcore is a game mode, not world option."

Notch also noted that there will be at least two more major additions to the game, followed by a code freeze (restricted code changes) prior to the official launch of Minecraft in November. Very exciting changes - keep an eye out for updates right here!

In addition to the wiki, you can check out (and talk about) the newly-discovered changes right here!

Magma cream... and a lot of new useless items!!! Yeah!! Seriously they should add USEFUL things, and fix the damn bugs, and also put the sky limit higher... that would make me happier than having Spider Eye, Blaze Powder and other things that nobody knows their purpose...

But I got to admit that the new F5 view is pretty awesome, and I also really like the new music discs!

Tried downloading and running the .jar that it linked me to and I just got an error message saying:

Java Virtual Machine Launcher

(X) A Java Exception has occurred.

Also tried running it directly and got the same thing. <_< :/

Anyone have any troubleshooting tips for me (and anyone else that might be having this problem)?

Rename the old minecraft.jar to something else. Rename the 1.9 PR2 jar to minecraft.jar. Start the game, and DON'T FORCE UPDATE IT.

Love the new front view option, perhaps being able to adjust the zoom on third person would be something to consider, it'd really open up options to filmers alike.
