1.4.3 is the first pre-release for Java Edition 1.4.4, released on November 1, 2012,^[1] which adds a new music disc and fixes many bugs.

Music disc

• Implemented the music disc "wait".
  • This music disc was originally added to the game's files in Beta 1.9 Prerelease 2 named "where are we now", but could not be implemented due to issues with the spaces in its name, so it has been renamed to "wait".

Debug screen

• + now shows the hitbox around entities.
  • At this point, the hitbox is white and opaque and does not have an outline.

Trapdoor

• Can now be placed on the side of a single slab.

Walls

• Now have a bigger hitbox; previously they shared the fence hitbox.^[2]

Water

• Water now completely negates all fall damage.^[3]
• Players can no longer swim against the current of water.

• Switching tools resets a block's brokenness.

Distance effects

• Wall block collision boxes no longer lose precision at extreme coordinates.
  • This is almost certaintly due to the fix for MC-1332.
