Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 is the third pre-release for Java Edition 1.0.0, released on October 6, 2011, which adds five new blocks including the brewing stand and enchantment table, as well as the eye of ender, five baby animal variants, experience levels, the enchantment glint effect, and completed potion mechanics.

The original version of the Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 was released shortly before 14:57 UTC on October 6 and included a debug feature where players spawned with full stacks of enchantment tables, bookshelves, End portal frames, and End portal blocks in the hotbar.

Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 was reuploaded at around 15:08 UTC, removing the debug blocks in the hotbar.^[1] Unlike the client, the server for this version was not reuploaded.

2 bugs fixed

• Fixed snow golems being able to enter love mode.

• Due to a bug, multiplayer servers generate sky dimension chunks starting in this version. The biome of these chunks is random if saved in multiplayer, however, if they are saved in singleplayer, they change to plains biomes, no matter if snow had generated in the chunks. This was fixed in Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4.
