Other editions with a version "1.9-pre4":
Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4 is the fourth pre-release for Java Edition 1.0.0, released on October 13, 2011.[1] It adds the End dimension, the ender dragon, and moon phases. It also completes the enchanting mechanics, changes fluid placement using buckets, and fixes some bugs.
This version was reuploaded to fix the version number not being updated from the previous pre-release, and the server was reupload twice.[2][3]
Additions
Blocks
- The white cobblestone texture introduced in the previous pre-release (
