Enthusiasts can look forward to a smoother experience as the team fine-tunes the game.
Fixed bugs in 1.21.9 Release Candidate 1
- MC-302243 – Resolved an issue where creakings could spawn even when the “spawnMonsters” game rule was set to false.
- MC-302278 – Corrected the texture orientation in the middle of conduits, which was previously upside down.
Get the Release Candidate
The Release Candidates are now available for Minecraft: Java Edition. To access this latest version, players should open the Minecraft Launcher and enable snapshots in the “Installations” tab.
It is important to note that testing versions may pose a risk of world corruption. Therefore, it is highly recommended to back up your worlds or run the release candidate in a separate folder from your main worlds.
For those interested in cross-platform server jar options, they are also available. Players are encouraged to report any bugs they encounter and share their feedback to help enhance the gaming experience.
