OMG OMG BETA IS OUT OMG OMG...........OMG OMG OMG BETA HAS BUGS THIS IS TERRIBLE.
OMG OMG OMG CANT WAIT FOR BETA.....OMG OMG OMG SHOULDNT HAVE GONE TO BETA
Seriously, you people are going to complain about Beta release and all the bugs it has, after you spam the forums with its release. You are going to sit there and whine about every detail when it is called BETA. What do you think is supposed to happen, a perfect game?
I want you all to sit down, shut up and enjoy the damn game Notch put his effort into making for you. Then, I want you to drink a cup for grateful and wait until the bug fixes come.
Hey dude, seriously? I develop software for a living, and if I released a beta which flat out didn't work on one of the supported platforms (OS X launch bug), I'd have to find a new job.
"LOL IT'S BETA" isn't an excuse, and if you think it is you need to grow up and learn how real software development works.

It is BETA for a reason, be happy you have it.
in your post you talk about other people whining? yo do realize by doing that your whining about people whining thus making you look like a hypercritical jackass?
He's working on mac bug. And why so negative, everyone out there. We got beta! BETA! B-E-T-A!
The problem is that Alpha worked better, which means that going Beta was pretty much a step backwards.
Took the words straight out of my mouth. How does OP not realise this? We've taken a massive step backwards in programming. Notch needs to clean up his code.

exactly, everyone is saying "oh it will get fixed", "oh in due time" no.... you are all wrong. It should never have been released in this state. It is unplayable in the current state on even the fasted machines. Anything lower and you are completely out of luck. Sorry....But that is the truth of the matter, it should be recalled, put alpha 1.2.6 back in play until Beta is fixed and ready.
EDIT
I've tried the beta now on a wide range of machines and none of them are playable. less than 15fps on all of then with FAST/TINY...
I payed $15 for a game that wasn't even in Beta!?!? I thought because I payed for it that it must be finished and without bugs?
THIS IS MADNESS!!!
No. THIS.IS. SPARTA!! (You know I had to do that)
Seriously though I think everyone should just chill out. The team is working really hard on this game! Just because before everyone is "spoiled" because we got updates so often. Now he's going to more complex stuff!
Everyone should just chill and let all the new features after beta come in.

Your computers must be horrifyingly bad, because I'm playing on far/fast with about 80fps. And no, my computer is not top of the line, in fact when I bought it a year ago it was only a midrange computer.
Oh shut up. This is the real world where stuff doesn't always go to plan. Beta doesn't need to be 100% perfect, especially after it's, what, 30 minutes old? Beta is for testing and feedback, and testing/giving feedback we are. So once again, enough with the "if i was in that position" nonsense.
No, really. This is the real world, where we hope people are doing their jobs responsibly. That includes stuff like testing for big obvious bugs (like being able to launch the application on supported platforms) before you release it, because "beta" is not carte blanche for "wheee, I don't have to do any testing myself".
I'm surprised over how many people are overwhelmed by this.
[sarcasm]Yes, because we all know a 2 hour old update is going to work perfectly fine.[/sarcasm]
it simply comes down to the fact that beta is worse than alpha. i'm cool with bugs, but lets move forward. now i can't play the game (really) at all.
Yeah, pretty much this. I EXPECT bugs. I DO NOT EXPECT the game to take MASSIVE steps backwards as far as game development goes. This is unacceptable. Notch shouldn't be so greedy as to not want to wait a single day to go into Beta but get all of the bugs fixed... Or at least the ones that make the game COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE!

Beta is just a name, same as alpha. He could have called it gamma, or zeta, or "WHOOPIE DOODLE FUN" and it wouldn't change anything. Nothing changes. It's still the same. I don;t get why people are happy or disappointed. Nothing changed.

Funny, I just played Minecraft on a computer with an E4700, 2GB of RAM and a 7100GS and it ran just fine. 45~55 fps.
On my computer at home it would be well over that. You don't need a great (or even a good) computer to play Minecraft.
It's almost 2011 FFS, throw the Pentium 4 Paperweight with on-board graphics out of the window and get a better rig.
On my 4 year old computer, I can run it on fancy and far, with no lag whatsoever.
Learn2buy good computers, nitwits. Meaning ones that cost more than 20 bucks, and are not made by apple

Except for the fact that the game is now unplayable.
