Java Edition 1.16.2 Pre-release 2

1.16.2 Pre-release 2 (known as 1.16.2-pre2 in the launcher) is the second pre-release for Java Edition 1.16.2, released on August 5, 2020, which allows roots to be broken by hand and fixes bugs.

Blocks

 * Roots
 * Now drop when broken without shears again.


 * Nether vegetation
 * No longer catches fire.

Items

 * Pufferfish
 * Now gives Nausea I instead of Nausea II when eaten.
 * This has no practical effect in-game as the level of the Nausea effect does not change anything.

Command format

 * now respects dimension scaling, i.e. the execution position (only the X/Z part) of a command is divided by 8 from Overworld to the Nether (or any custom dimensions with disabled to another with  enabled), and is multiplied by 8 when vice versa.
 * For example, if a player at position in Overworld runs command, the player would now be teleported to  in the Nether.
 * Relatively, if a player at position in the Nether runs command, the player would now be teleported to  in Overworld.
 * If a player at position in Overworld runs command, the player would still be teleported to  in the Nether.
 * Also applies to custom dimensions with enabled.
 * Also applies to custom dimensions with enabled.
