In a move that reflects the ongoing commitment to enhancing user experience, the latest pre-release for version 26.1 is now being shipped, bringing with it a series of technical adjustments and feature fixes related to the recent Tiny Takeover game drop. As the weekend approaches, players can look forward to a smoother gaming experience.
Changes
- Adjusted the dismount speed thresholds for Spears to align with Bedrock standards.
- Resolved an issue where the Baby Axolotl’s right hind leg was not animating correctly while swimming.
- Scaled the Baby Cat to match the size of the Baby Ocelot.
- Corrected the scaling of the Baby Horse model, ensuring it is no longer slightly oversized.
UI Enhancements
- Introduced a new display option titled “Exclusive Fullscreen,” which determines whether fullscreen mode should take complete control of a monitor.
- By default, this setting is <span class="MCEffectTextHighlightA”>false, indicating a non-exclusive mode.
- Any modifications will take effect only after restarting the game.
- Note: Enabling exclusive fullscreen mode may restrict the use of certain input methods (IME).
Trade Adjustments
- The Master Librarian will now offer three available trades, ensuring that an enchanted book trade is consistently presented when utilizing the Rebalance experiment.
Technical Changes
Text Components
- Components nested more than 16 times in server status messages (MotD) will now be discarded and replaced with an ellipsis for clarity.
