Version 07

"**Version 07**" is a video on the Minecraft Alpha 1.0.16 Versions channel. It was the seventh video uploaded.

## Summary

The video shows a previously unseen player playing on Minecraft Alpha v1.0.16.05\_07 on Windows 7 in a previously unseen world. The game is initially paused as the player reads through patch notes for the version in the website "`www.minecraft.net/alphatest`" on a Windows Internet Explorer window. The game is then resumed, in which several changes can be seen: the health bar, crosshair, and furnace now have new textures, and a transparent version of the "new tile block" first seen in "Version 06" has been added. The player briefly checks the furnace and a new user interface for it can be seen, as well as a new wooden block in the inventory. After walking through the house for some time, the player goes to the back and sees an invisible shadow player named "obstruction" in the distance. "obstruction" then walks into the house, being impervious to attacks, and leaves a message in the in-game chat:

>
> `<obstruction> 1 warned again 2 why`
>
>

>

The player promptly exits the world, into the game's title screen.

Changes to textures are nearing completion. We would like to thank everyone who helped test our new version and reported bugs on the bug tracker.

*23/08/2010: You all can't behave yourselves. The guidelines clearly state: "You may not distribute the provided software, incl. server software [...]".This rule alone had over 50 violations in the day of release alone when we started the multiplayer test. Because of this, we made the decision to remove the download links to the server software along with manual jar downloads. If you were kicked out of the game with the error message "Session unauthorized", this was the cause.To those playing fair: thank you.20/08/2010: The recruitment process works by selecting accounts automatically. Please do NOT email us asking to let someone in, or to ask how the recruitment is carried out. These emails will be ignored.*``Reminder: this version is not to be disclosed anywhere. Sharing recordings and/or screenshots outside of the bug tracker is forbidden.

Your launcher should automatically receive new updates, but if it doesn't, please try installing manually

## Notes

* The cause for the suspensions of "xorcist6898" and "dj\_p155" in "Version 06" is explained in the patch notes seen in this video; they distributed unauthorized copies of the game, as evidenced by the "Session unauthorized" message sent to "xorcist6898".
