Minecraft Update on May 14 Applies Patch 3.38

Mojang has unveiled a new hotfix for Minecraft, bringing the game to version 26.21 as of May 14. This patch primarily addresses issues stemming from the recent Chaos Cubes update, which was released just a week prior. While it does not resolve every concern, it notably fixes the frustrating UI freezing bug that players encountered when opening a furnace. Console users will recognize this update as Minecraft update 3.38, and it is expected to be a minor download.
