Minecraft 1.21 Pre-Release 4

Frog day on a Friday? What could go wrong? We're back with 1.21 Pre-Release 4 today, with a couple more bug fixes, and some tweaks to the Blast Resistance and Fire Protection enchantments.

Changes

• The "Burning Time" reduction effect of Fire Protection and "Knockback Resistance" effect of Blast Protection now stack from wearing several pieces
  • To get the maximum benefit of these effects, you now need to wear a full set of enchanted armor
  • Wearing a fully enchanted armor set still grants the same effect as in 1.20.6
  • Wearing only a single piece of enchanted armor now has reduced effect compared to before
• After a Primed TNT has gone through a Nether Portal, it will no longer be able to destroy Nether Portal blocks

Fixed bugs in 1.21 Pre-Release 4

• MC-270540 - The prevention of fall damage from wind charges is not retained upon reloading the world
• MC-271971 - Wind Charges sometimes don't prevent fall damage
• MC-272933 - Fire protection burning time reduction now stacks for every piece of armor
• MC-272935 - Blast protection explosion knockback resistance now stacks for every piece of armor
• MC-272947 - Boat clutching after using a wind charge results in the player taking fall damage
• MC-272948 - Wind Burst damages the player twice on one use, even when using Wind Charges
• MC-272981 - Using a wind charge to stop the fall damage after using the wind burst enchantment doesn't correctly cancel the damage
• MC-272982 - Mace can have sharpness
