Minecraft 1.21.5 Release Candidate 1 is the final test version before the official Java Edition 1.21.5 update. It fixes minor bugs, including magma block lighting issues and beacon shadow glitches, for a smoother experience. Two new capes were introduced for both Java and Bedrock editions: the “Menace Cape” and the “Home Cape“. Players can obtain them by watching Minecraft live streams on Twitch or TikTok for a few minutes. The Menace Cape features a unique texture that changes when used with an elytra, adding a fresh visual twist. These capes reflect Mojang’s ongoing efforts to engage the community with free cosmetic rewards alongside technical updates.
