What you need to know
- We're in the final stages of development for the Nether Update on Minecraft.
- This means lots of general quality of life updates and fixes in recent snapshots.
- The newest one is no different, which also tweaks changes made in a recent snapshot.
- It's available now, and inches us closer to a full release of the Nether Update.
After a few weeks hiatus, Mojang Studios is returning with a flurry of new snapshots and betas for Minecraft. This one carries bug fixes and general improvements, as expected, but also tweaks changes to redstone wires made a few snapshots ago, and adds new options for creating custom worlds.
The biggest changes in the new snapshot includes:
- Individual redstone pieces can now toggle between a cross and a dot. Redstone dots will not power adjacent blocks.
- New import/export functionality that allows players to create custom world profiles and save them for later use.
- New experimental settings that allow players to tweak their custom worlds with greater control.
- New command lines to disable chat and multiplayer options.
- Bug fixes and improvements.
