Minecraft 1.19.3 Release Candidate 2

We're now releasing the first (and hopefully only) release candidate for Minecraft 1.19.3. If there are no major issues following this release candidate, no further changes will be done before the full release.

Happy mining!

Edit: We've now released 1.19.3 Release Candidate 2, fixing a few critical issues.

With release candidate 2, we are reverting a behavior change for translation strings due to a prevalent but unsupported use case. Expect this behavior to be changed in the future to provide a supported alternative.

Fixed bugs in 1.19.3 Release Candidate 2

• MC-258251 - Slots (like %s) in translations no longer ignore missing elements in "with"
• MC-258256 - Cannot join a LAN world while offline
