Pre-release 1.5 is the first and only pre-release for Java Edition 1.5, released on March 7, 2013.^[1] Despite the version number being identical, this version differs in code from the full release. This is the first pre-release released in 2013.

This pre-release was later reuploaded, and this reupload was used as the full release of 1.5; see Java Edition 1.5 for that version.

An experimental version of the pre-release was uploaded by Dinnerbone to Mojira on March 12, 2013, to try to fix a white line bug.^[2]
