Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, people built structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things.

It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sun rise over a blocky ocean. It’s pretty. Brave players battle terrible things in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. You can also visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea.

What's New:

1.16.3 includes two fixes listed below:

MC-196449 – Piglins, piglin brutes, hoglins and zoglins have trouble pathfinding to the player when attacking.
MC-198678 – Giving an item and a gold ingot to a baby piglin and killing it duplicates the item.

1.16.1 is a minor update to Java Edition released on June 24, 2020, which fixes stability issues with Realms. It is not compatible with 1.16 servers.

1.16, the first release of the Nether Update, is a major update to Java Edition announced at MINECON Live 2019 and released on June 23, 2020. This update overhauls the Nether by adding four new biomes, four new mobs (the piglin, hoglin, zoglin, and strider), and a multitude of new blocks, including many variants of blackstone as well as the respawn anchor used to set the player's spawnpoint in the Nether. It also adds a new netherite tier of equipment, obtained through ancient debris found rarely throughout the Nether.

Multiplayer

Added a legal disclaimer when clicking the multiplayer button from the main menu: a new information screen informs the player that 'Online play is not rated'.

Performance

Optimized chunk rendering performance, especially for chunks with many different block states.

Network handling

Improved network handling of invalid biome IDs.

Changes:

Blocks

Saplings

Oak and birch saplings grown with a flower 2 blocks away within a 5*3*5 area centred on the sapling has a 5% chance to generate a bee nest on the side of the tree.

Mobs

Bees

No longer anger when a nearby nest/hive is destroyed using a Silk Touch tool.

Horses

The texture of the horse armor slot in the horse GUI has been changed to reflect the current horse armor textures.

World generation

Bee nests

Now have a 2% chance to spawn in flower forests.
Now have a 0.2% chance to spawn in forest, wooded hills, birch forest, tall birch forest, birch forest hills, and tall birch hills biomes.

Gameplay

Status effects

Effects are now stored when overwritten by an effect of a higher amplifier.
A beacon effect will only temporarily overwrite a lower amplifier potion until the beacon effect runs out.

General

Block models

Added gui_light option in models to allow controlling light when rendering model as an item in a GUI.
If set to side, the model will be rendered like a block.
If set to front, the model will be shaded like a flat item.

Game window

Now displays the session type in the window title, such as singleplayer or multiplayer.
It also specifies the type of server the player is on in multiplayer, such as on a LAN or third party server.

Profiler report

Now captures more information about performance problems.[2]

Textures

Removed a stray pixel from the bottom-right of the critical hit particle texture.
