Alpha v1.2.2 is the name given to three versions of Java Edition Alpha released on November 10, 2010. Server version 0.2.4 was released with this version, which mainly fixed bugs.

Two versions are available in the launcher, Alpha v1.2.2a (a debug version) and Alpha v1.2.2b (which added support for more animations as well as minor changes and fixes).

Additions

Options

• Support for more animation settings.
• Support for 16×16 texture packs.
  • Prior to this update, users would need to manually change the texture packs by overwriting the terrain.png image in minecraft.jar files, or use a patcher.

Changes

Blocks

Lava

• Now flows 8 blocks further in the Nether.

Main menu

• Now contains the texture pack selection menu for easy texture pack switching, replacing the "play tutorial level" button.
• Displays the version name in the top-left corner.

Servers

• It now takes longer for the "took too long to log in" screen to appear when connecting to a server.

Fixes

5 bugs fixed

• Players and mobs on fire, in lava, or next to cacti no longer plays the hurt sound every tick.
• Getting hit with a higher damage while recovering from a smaller one works as intended.
• Duplicating buttons when resizing screens fixed.
• Zombie pigmen and ghasts no longer get hurt by fire and lava.
• Fixed volume sliders not saving properly.

Debugging version

Alpha v1.2.2a added generation of a nether portal using F4.

Trivia

Pack.png as it appears in this version.

• pack.png, the image that is present when a texture pack has no default image, was generated in this version with the seed 3257840388504953787.
• Shortly before the update released, "texture packs" were going to be called "skins." While they were called texture packs in-game, the change log for this update refers to them as both "skin packs" and "texture packs."
