General[]

Advancements

    • Changed zombie.spawnReinforcements to zombie.spawn_reinforcements.
    • Changed horse.jumpStrength to horse.jump_strength.

Main menu
  • The main menu background is now in the Nether.
    • Since this was an asset update, all of the 1.16 snapshots have the new backdrop.
Statistics
  • General statistics are now ordered alphabetically in the statistics menu.
Tags
  • Added nether portals and respawn anchors to the hoglin_repellents block tag.
World save files
  • Region files are now read/written in synchronous mode to help prevent data loss and corruption after crash.
