Minecraft 26.1 Pre-Release 2

Today we're shipping another pre-release for 26.1 that includes tech changes and fixes to features included in the Tiny Takeover game drop.

Happy Friday mining!

UI

  • Any change will be applied only after the game restarts
  • Warning: exclusive fullscreen mode might prevent use of input methods (IME)

Trades

• The Master Librarian will now have three available trades to ensure that an enchanted book trade is always offered when using the Rebalance experiment
