== Trailer ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main|Minecraft 1.7 Piston trailer}}&lt;br /&gt;
An official video documenting some of Beta 1.7&amp;#039;s major features was released on Mojang&amp;#039;s official [[Minecraft:YouTube]] channel on June 30th, 2011. The video was made by Hat Films. Made before &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Minecraft:Java Edition]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was officially released (and long before [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.7|1.7]] came out), the trailer omits “Beta” when referring to the version number.&lt;br /&gt;
