Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5 is the fifth pre-release for Java Edition 1.0.0, released on October 27, 2011,^[1] which adds several new achievements and controls, changes some mobs and the texture of some blocks, and fixes some bugs.

Achievements

• Added 10 achievements.

Controls

• Debug controls (from the pre-re-uploaded version of Beta 1.8 Pre-release):
• : Freezes the camera in its current position.
• : Enables a strange "bouncy" movement. It locks the player's Y coordinate (meaning they cannot jump or fall). It makes the player accelerate relatively slowly when moving. Additionally, the player can also clip into blocks slightly - at a high enough speed, the player can push all the way through a block. Transparent blocks have no clipping whatsoever.
• and : Changes the view's rotation clockwise and anti-clockwise, respectively. Hold both keys simultaneously resets the rotation.
• and : Decreases and increases the field of view, respectively. These keys seem to affect the field of view differently to how the FOV option does - the player's hand (or anything the player is holding) also becomes stretched as the field of view increases or decreases, which does not happen if the player changes the FOV option in the menu. Holding both keys simultaneously resets the field of view.
• : Makes the player look up, looks left, looks down, and looks right. These movements are normally done by moving the mouse. This setting cannot be reset by holding any keys simultaneously.
• and : Moves the third-person camera forward and backward, respectively. This setting cannot be reset by holding both keys simultaneously.

/toggledownfall

• Toggles the weather.
  • If weather is currently clear, rain or snow starts.
  • If weather is currently rain, snow, or a thunderstorm, it becomes clear.

/xp

• The command take a player name and then a number of xp orbs to award.
