Beta 1.2_02 is a version of Java Edition Beta released on January 21, 2011,[1] that mainly changed where skins are downloaded from.

The version of Beta 1.2_02 in the launcher is missing its META-INF file but is otherwise identical.

Additions[]

General[]

TGA screenshot example previewable

A screenshot taken by using ⇧ Shift + F2 in game.

Controls
  • Pressing ⇧ Shift + F2 generates a 36450×17700 TGA format screenshot (which ends up being 1.8 GB, and no UI included). While the file is being generated, the game freezes and experiences major graphical distortions. This is unfinished test code, as confirmed by Notch.[2] This "feature" would go on to be removed in Beta 1.5.
