What you need to know
The march to Minecraft: Java Edition’s 1.19.1 update is continuing with more pre-release testing. Mojang Studios is finalizing the extensive patch update with further polish and last minute fixes, culminating in Friday’s Pre-Release 4 snapshot. This snapshot features a handful of changes and fixes targeting the game’s chat systems.
Mojang Studios is releasing this snapshot right on the heels of thepreceding Pre-Release 3 snapshotwith a more modest changelog. If testing of this release goes well, Mojang Studios should begin testing more final release candidate snapshots. The final 1.19.1 update will include plenty of improvements, and even new features, built on top ofMinecraft 1.19 “The Wild Update.”
Even without considering its never-ending support cycle,Minecraftwould still dominate the list of thegreatest and most successful PC games. The latest snapshot isn’t particularly exciting, but it improves the security of Minecraft’s in-game chat, and adds to the dozens upon dozens of changes tested in previous 1.19.1 snapshots. If all goes well, the final update should arrive within the next few weeks.
