What's new

Minecraft snapshot 16w21a

Last week the polar bears were released into the world. This week they can enjoy their peaceful life in a world with less bugs.

Some of the changes and new features are not 100% finalized and we are going to improve and balance them in the upcoming snapshots.

Most noticeable is the lack of sound effects for some of the new things in the game. There is no need to report them as bugs as we are fully aware of the issue and our sound magicians are already working on it.


Reporting bugs on our bugtracker is the best way to tell us about things that are horribly broken or even crash your game. Please make sure the issue is not already reported before posting a new ticket.

The bug tracker has a “search” function that will help you to figure out if there’s already a ticket about the problem you want to report.

Notable changes:

  • Bugs fixed
  • More bugs fixed
  • Removed some broken code
  • Solved some reported issues
  • Changed some incorrect things in the game
