Minecraft is a sandbox game developed by Mojang Studios. The game was created by Markus “Notch” Persson in the Java programming language. Following several early private testing versions, it was first made public in May 2009 before being fully released in November 2011, with Notch stepping down and Jens “Jeb” Bergensten taking over development. The game received a new update, which focuses on the game’s issues. Let’s dive deep into the Minecraft Beta & Preview 1.21.80.28 update patch notes.

Features and Bug Fixes
Blocks

Bundles
- Empty open Bundle icon now renders correctly when Bundles are tapped with Touch Controls
Stability and Performance

Realms
- Realms Server Hosting Region Preference Selection:
- Added a new “Advanced” tab to the Realms settings screen
- In the advanced tab, Realm owners can select which datacenter region they would like to host their Realm in
- Options include a list of regions, or allowing the Realms service to automatically select the best region for the Realm owner or the first player to join the Realm in a given session
- Note that this selection is a preference only and due to server capacity, your Realm may be hosted in a different region than selected
- In that case, the next closest region to your preference will be selected
- Added a message during joining a Realm to indicate which server region your Realm is assigned to for that session
- More information will be shared about Realms server hosting with the next full release
- Known issue: The “set region help” help article has not been published yet, so that button will link to the Minecraft help site home page

- Fixed a crash caused by buffer overrun in the data driven renderer when multiple values wrote to overlay color
- Fixed null pointer de-referencing crash in chunk rendering
