The first pre-release for 1.16.4 is officially out!
If you’ve been on the Internet for some time, you’ve probably noticed that you occasionally run into other players that you don’t get along with. To alleviate some of that frustration, we’re introducing a UI element called the “social interactions screen”, which will let you disable chatting with certain players, thus hiding any messages you receive from them. Additionally, the 1.16.4 update will contain some fixes for critical bugs, but other than that, this will be it for this dot-release.
Please help us out by testing the new UI and reporting any bugs you find on the bug tracker.
New Features in 1.16.4 Pre-release 1

Technical Changes in 1.16.4 Pre-release 1
