It is time. Here is this weeks snapshot the first Minecraft 1.10 pre-release. We will decide when the final Minecraft 1.10 update will be released based on the feedback we get and the reported issues on our bugtracker.
UPDATE: Minecraft snapshot 16w21b is now available
Last week the polar bears were released into the world. This week they can enjoy their peaceful life in a world with less bugs.
Some of the changes and new features are not 100% finalized and we are going to improve and balance them in the upcoming snapshots.
Most noticeable is the lack of sound effects for some of the new things in the game. There is no need to report them as bugs as we are fully aware of the issue and our sound magicians are already working on it.
Reporting bugs on our bugtracker is the best way to tell us about things that are horribly broken or even crash your game. Please make sure the issue is not already reported before posting a new ticket.
The bug tracker has a “search” function that will help you to figure out if there’s already a ticket about the problem you want to report.
Update: Minecraft 1.9.4 removes the incorrect snapshot warning when you load a world from a previous version in Minecraft 1.9.3.
This update fixes some reported issues and improves overall performance of the game. We also found some ways to reduce the memory usage, especially on servers.
Please report any and all bugs you find in Minecraft to bugs.mojang.com. If nobody reports a bug, we can’t fix it!
First we assumed one pre-release for Minecraft 1.9.3 would be all we need to ensure a stable update. And then we had to release a second pre-release the next week to fix the remaining issues. And, because the third time’s a charm, here is the third Minecraft 1.9.3 pre-release.
If everything works out as planned, we will release the update to Minecraft 1.9.3 early next week. Of course I shouldn’t have mentioned that, because now I’m just asking for something else to come up and delay it.
Notable changes:
Changed some changes that we made in 1.9.3 pre-release 2
Fixed a potential crash with spreading water or lava
Update: Minecraft 1.9.2 is now available and fixed the issue that some players could not connect to some servers or their realms.
1.9.1 notes:
Woooosh. That’s the sound of the elytra and the main feature of the 1.9.1 release of Minecraft. The second notable change is a new property (toughness) for armor that “makes diamond armor useful again”.
Apart from these awesome additions, we also fixed some reported bugs and improved the performance and memory usage of servers a bit. Command blocks in custom maps should also behave much better now, especially with long sequences that are executed every tick.
Please report any and all bugs you find in Minecraft to bugs.mojang.com. If nobody reports a bug, we can’t fix it!
Notable changes:
Added Elytra sound effects
Improved AI
Improved entity selectors
Loot tables now also work in dispensers and droppers
Hoppers can now pull items out of blocked chests
Increased limit for “executed command blocks per tick”
