What is a Beta build?
A Beta Build is in between a developer build and a Recommended Build. These builds simply work and are promoted much more frequently than a Recommended Build. While we will do some testing before promoting a beta build, we will not be running it through our extensive test process. As such, there are no guarantees that they will not contain minor bugs. If we do find out they are broken, we will mark it as such on DLB and promote a new one. A beta build may contain incomplete API and new features but they should not interfere with running the build in any way.

While we would love to be able to do this for every Minecraft update, the speed at which we can update is determined by the size and complexity of the update and this varies with each release.
Please only use this build if you're familiar with the Minecraft snapshot/pre-release process and would like to help us get a Beta Build out soon after Minecraft 1.5.2 is officially released. This build is COMPLETELY UNSUPPORTED and if you do not know how to acquire Minecraft 1.5.2 early to use it, you should not be running it. We will be deleting any questions asking how to get this usable. If you have to ask where or how to...
