1.3.1 is a major update to Java Edition [ 1] trading , Adventure mode, new generated structures (jungle and desert pyramids ), and new blocks/items including emeralds , book and quills , written books , and tripwire .

A pre-release for 1.3.1 was released on July 30, 2012,[ 1]

1.3 was a version that held several development-related records, until the development of Java Edition 1.8 .
The most snapshots for a major release: 19.
The longest development period, from first snapshot to final release: 111 days.
The longest wait between major releases, with a release 153 days after the release of Java Edition 1.2.1 (later broken by the wait time between Java Edition 1.8 and Java Edition 1.9 ).
If the player changed their skin after Java Edition 1.8 was released, 1.3.1 would be the oldest version to display that skin change. If the player plays on Java Edition 1.2.5 or older versions they still see the last skin they used before Java Edition 1.8.
1.3 is the last major update to Java Edition
