Today it is time for 26.2 Pre-Release 5, with a change to Hardcore mode settings along with other fixes! As announced at Minecraft Live, the drop is set to release on June 16!
Happy (careful) hardcore mining!
Changes
- The game setting for Graphics API now changes if a crash is detected during startup
- The sound for when hitting the sulfur cube of a bouncy archetype now plays the correct sound
- As the host of a world, changing the game mode with F3 + F4 or with commands now changes the default game mode of the world
- The "Game Mode" and "Allow Commands" buttons are no longer available in Hardcore mode worlds
Startup and Fallback Behavior for Graphics API
- If the game crashes at startup with "Prefer Vulkan" set, the setting will automatically be changed to "Default"
- When set to "Default", the game will still attempt to gather systems information about Vulkan at startup
- If the game crashes at startup with "Default" set, the setting will automatically be changed to "Prefer OpenGL"
- With "Prefer OpenGL" set, no interaction will be made with Vulkan in case that causes crashes
