Minecraft 1.21.2 Official Download – Java Edition

Version 1.21.2 of Minecraft, also known as Bundles of Bravery, is now available in your launcher. Minecraft 1.21.2 Official Download fully introduces the bag into the game, which was already present but hidden since Minecraft 1.17 four years ago. It has also undergone some improvements. This version also introduces new experimental features for the winter drop (pale garden), redstone, and minecarts.

Features:

Bundles

• A Bundle is an item that can pack different items together into the same stack
• A Bundle only fits one stack (usually 64 items) but it can be a mixture of many different item types
• You can insert items into a Bundle directly in the inventory
• Bundles have a tooltip that shows the items inside
  • If a Bundle has less than 12 item types inside, the tooltip will show all of them
  • Otherwise, the tooltip will show the top three rows of items (at least 8 item types) and the others will be hidden below
• You can select any of the visible items to pull out of the Bundle
  • Right-click to take the first item
  • Use the scroll wheel to select a different item, then right-click to take it
• When selecting an item to remove, the Bundle icon shows that item poking out of the Bundle
• When holding a Bundle in hand, you can empty items onto the ground by right-clicking or holding right-click
• The Bundle is crafted with one String above one Leather
• The controls have changed from the original prototype:
  • Use left-click to put an item into a Bundle
  • Use right-click to remove the top item type from a Bundle
  • When the Bundle tooltip is visible, use the mouse wheel to select a different item type, then use right-click to remove it

• Salmon may now spawn as Small, Medium (current size), or Large

Ender Pearl Chunk Loading

• Ender Pearls now ensure that the chunk they are in or travel into is always loaded and ticking
  • They also load chunks when crossing to a new dimension
  • This ensures that Ender Pearls can always land, and makes cross-dimensional Ender Pearl travelling more predictable
• Ender Pearls now unload when a player logs out, and reappear whenever that player logs back in, similar to how ridden entities currently behave

  • Unique item textures have been added to better distinguish each pattern type

  • Field Masoned
    • Crafted with Paper and Bricks
  • Bordure Indented
    • Crafted with Paper and Vines
• The Bricks and Curved Border patterns in the Loom can no longer be accessed without the above Banner Patterns

Bee Behavior

• Bees now wander around randomly for less time after exiting a nest/hive
• A Bee with a known nest or hive will now stay closer to it, reducing the distance it travels and reducing the risk of getting lost
• Significantly increased the amount of time a Bee can take to return to a known nest/hive before it gives up trying to return home
• Bees are now a lot less likely to get stuck when on corners or when close to a nest/hive they are trying to return to
• Bees are also now a lot less likely to try and pathfind to a flower that it cannot reach

• A triggered raid will no longer start if the Raiders cannot find a place to spawn within a reasonable distance of the village they are trying to raid

  • The previous textures have been added to Programmer Art resource pack
• Tweaked air bubbles UI
  • Added an empty state for air bubbles along with a wobble when the player is drowning
  • Added a popping sound when the bubbles pop in the UI

Rarity

• Rarity is a set of categories which determine the color used to display the name of an item or block
  • It has no gameplay impact, but is used to signal how difficult something is to obtain
  • By default, unless specified otherwise, all items and blocks have a rarity of Common which displays their name in the color white
• We have re-evaluated the rarity of all items and blocks in the game to more accurately reflect the current challenge of obtaining them, given the following guidelines:
  • Items and blocks become more rare depending on the following factors:
    • The chance of finding it in a loot table, including mob drops
    • The amount of travelling required to obtain it
    • The difficulty of any obstacle which must be overcome to obtain it
    • The possible amount of that item or block which exists in the world
  • Any item or block which can be crafted must inherit the highest rarity of its crafting ingredients
    • For example, a Mace has an Epic rarity because one of its ingredients (the Heavy Core) has an Epic rarity
    • Likewise, any crafted item which has only Common crafting ingredients must also be Common
• The lists below detail the items and blocks which have changed to that rarity category

Common

• End Crystal
• Golden Apple

  • Enchanted Golden Apples have become more common in recent years due to being accessible in both Ancient Cities and Trial Chambers, warranting a demotion to Rare instead of Epic

    • This is intended for skins that are graphic in nature relating to sexual acts, sexual organs, and sexual violence
  • Removed reason “Defamation” for skins due to lack of relevance
