Beta 1.6.5 is a version of Java Edition Beta released on May 28, 2011, which contains minor changes and fixes some of the bugs and crashes in Beta 1.6.4.

Changes

Blocks

Slabs and stairs

• It is now possible to climb the blocks while sneaking.

Gameplay

Riding and sleeping

• Players who are riding anything or sleeping will stop doing so when they leave the game.

Sneaking

• Effect has been decreased.
  • The player's feet look like they're in the air.

General

Controls

• ⇧ Shift + clicking the crafting output only performs a single crafting action, instead of the maximum possible amount.
  • For instance, ⇧ Shift + clicking while crafting torches will only transfer 4 torches into the inventory at a time.
  • This change will soon be reverted in Beta 1.8 Pre-release 2.

Frame rate

• Frame rate cap can now be changed, with toggles of 40 FPS, 90 FPS, and 200 FPS.
  • Except for the 40 FPS setting, the framerate will only be capped when there are any chunk updates.

Options

• Advanced OpenGL re-added (still with same Toggle bug as of 1.5).

Version number

• No longer displayed while playing.
• Still visible on title screen and debug screen.

Fixes

13 bugs fixed

• Player indicator on maps now points in the same direction as the player, instead of being rotated slightly.
• Dropped equipment no longer breaks on the first use (in some cases it still will).
• Objects will now be pushed out if they are within a block.
• Lighting acts normal again when placing/removing torches.
• The game no longer crashes when shift-clicking to put items in a chest that is already full and vice versa.
• Fixed CPU issue on multiplayer.
• Saving while crouching no longer consistently teleports the player into blocks above or below when loading the save.
• Exiting a minecart or moving from one minecart to another will no longer bump the original minecart and make it move.
• Fixed the players health appearing to be full when entering/exiting the Nether.
• Fixed some entities appearing to fall through the ground repeatedly in multiplayer (some might still do so).
• Fixed the server sometimes thinking the player hit a corner when walking when they didn't.
• Fixed the achievements window rendering some graphics outside the clip window.
• Fixed a couple of instances where beds would act strange in multiplayer, primarily the "already occupied" bug.
