In a spirited nod to the end of the week, the latest Pre-Release for version 1.21.11 has arrived, bringing with it a host of enhancements and bug fixes designed to improve the gaming experience. This update particularly shines when the “See-Through Leaves” feature is disabled, ensuring that players can enjoy a more visually appealing environment while mining.
Changes
- With the “See-Through Leaves” video setting turned off, players will now notice that the gaps between leaves have transformed from black to a rich dark green, adding a touch of vibrancy to the landscape.
- Disabling the “See-Through Leaves” setting not only enhances aesthetics but also provides a more significant performance boost than previously experienced, allowing for smoother gameplay.
Fixed bugs in 1.21.11 Pre-Release 2
- MC-238715: Resolved an issue where the “minecraft:block.chest.locked” sound was inaudible to other players when attempting to access locked blocks.
- MC-302660: Corrected a grammatical error in the “options.cutoutLeaves.tooltip” string, which was missing the word “you.”
- MC-303061: Fixed the sound issue where the “minecraft:block.chest.locked” sound played at the player’s position instead of the chest’s.
- MC-304023: Eliminated redundant level data fixer files that were unnecessarily saved in the worlds’ “data” folder.

Get the Pre-Release
For those eager to explore the latest features, Pre-Releases are available for Minecraft: Java Edition. To install the Pre-Release, simply open the Minecraft Launcher and enable snapshots in the “Installations” tab. It is important to note that testing versions can potentially corrupt your world, so be sure to back up your data and/or run them in a separate folder from your main worlds.
Additionally, as preparations are underway to remove obfuscation from Java Edition, players can access a non-obfuscated experimental version of this snapshot through the Minecraft Launcher:
- Download the provided zip file.
- Unpack the folder into your “versions” directory within your local Minecraft application data folder.
- Start (or restart) the Launcher.
- Create a new launch installation and select the “unobfuscated 1.21.11_unobfuscated” version.
- Launch the game, and the remaining files will automatically download.
An unobfuscated server jar is also available for download. For those wishing to report bugs or provide feedback, dedicated channels are open for your insights.
