1.16, the first release of the Nether Update, is a major update to Java Edition announced at MINECON Live 2019 and released on June 23, 2020. This update overhauls the Nether by adding four new biomes, four new mobs (the piglin, hoglin, zoglin, and strider), and a multitude of new blocks, including many variants of blackstone as well as the respawn anchor used to set the player's spawnpoint in the Nether. It also adds a new netherite tier of equipment, obtained through ancient debris found rarely throughout the Nether.

1.16 was reuploaded around 6 hours after release to fix an issue with the Realms menu which prevented clients from viewing and connecting to Realms (MC-191138). The changes were only to the client, and the server jar files are functionally identical. This hotfix was unsuccessful, and 1.16.1 was released the next day.

• Entering the world in an unknown dimension (caused by disabling a data pack which added said dimension) now puts the player in the Overworld at the same coordinates.

Debug menu

• When outside the world's vertical area, the debug menu no longer lists 'minecraft:the_void' as the biome.
  • Instead, it simply hides the biome information.

Floating-point precision

Bone meal particles being generated at the corner of the block instead of at the sapling, one of many precision loss bugs fixed by 1.16.

• Certain game mechanics, mainly a handful of different particles, have been modified to use 64-bit (double-precision) precision where they previously used 32-bit (single-precision).
• As a result, the effects appear in the correct places even if the player is far away from the spawn point (with effects being the most extreme when over 16,777,216 blocks away). See Java Edition distance effects for a further explanation and history of such effects.
• The following precision loss errors are fixed:
  • Bone meal particles should now appear at the right position.
  • Lava embers and popping sounds should now originate from the correct positions.
  • Campfire embers should now be generated at the correct position.
  • Particles from redstone repeaters should now appear at the correct position.
  • Particles from nether biomes should now appear at the correct position.
  • Particles from adding eye of enders to end portal frames should now appear at the correct position.
  • Particles dripping from leaves during rain will no longer snap to block corners and are correctly randomized across the underside of the block.
  • The book of the enchanting table now opens properly at high distances; previously there were cases where the player could be pressed right up to the block, yet the book would not acknowledge them.
  • TNT ignited by other explosions now appears at the right locations at high distances.
  • Detector rails at high distances were not always being correctly powered and depowered, which has been fixed.
  • Mob spawning would also break down, spawning mobs at block corners and sometimes inside of other blocks.
  • Generation of minecart with chests in mineshafts will now spawn them at the intended positions..

Fonts

• Chat component style now supports font property, which is resource location for font in the resource pack. No entry is equivalent to minecraft:default.
• Full range of Unicode characters is supported, making it possible to type emojis and other Unicode characters outside of the Basic Multilingual Plane.
  • However, custom resource packs must be used to display correct characters instead of tofu, due to the lack of these characters in the default font.
• Force Unicode option now switches between normal and alternative font (called uniform.json) – no reload needed.

Hitboxes

• Fire now has a hitbox, unlike previously, where it did not, when putting out fire required targeting its base blocks.
• Redstone dust's hitbox now correctly confirms to its shape, much like the hitboxes of fences, walls, glass panes and iron bars.
  • This also includes when the redstone is traveling up a vertical surface, so the upward portion can be targeted without hitting the block underlying.

Loot tables

• Entity Predicate
  • Added fishing_hook sub-predicate.
• fishing_hook
  • Check properties of the fishing hook.
  • in_open_water parameter matches whether the fishing location is open water fishing or not.
  • Can be set to "false" in-game files to make AFK fishing farms work again. This removes the restriction of being able to obtain loot only from normal waters.

Main menu

• The main menu background is now set in the Nether.
  • The menu panorama uses seed 6006096527635909600 at coordinates X = 482.208, Y = 78.515, Z = -1127.193
• The "Singleplayer" button will jump directly to "Create World" screen if there are no worlds to select.

Materials

• Added new nether wood material.
  • Uses the wood material color.
  • Uses default properties.
• Whether or not a block requires a tool is now no longer a property of a material and is now assigned on a block-by-block basis.

New Mojang Studios logo on the loading screen.

Menu screen

• Updated Mojang Studios and Minecraft logos.

Miscellaneous

• Added a JMX MBean to monitor dedicated server tick times.

Models

• All "block states" files have improved spacing, and now define the namespace when referring to the model.
• All model files now define the namespace when referring to a different model.

Multiplayer screen

• Changed "Online play is not rated" to "Caution: Third-Party Online Play".
• Changed "During online play you may be exposed to chat messages or other types of user generated content that has not been rated, and may not be suitable for all ages." to "Caution: Online play is offered by third-party servers that are not owned, operated, or supervised by Mojang or Microsoft. During online play, you may be exposed to unmoderated chat messages or other types of user-generated content that may not be suitable for everyone."

NBT tags

• The Dimension NBT tag is now a resource location string instead of a number, which is used in player.dat.

Obsidian platform

• Obsidian platform now can get regenerated when a non-player entity enters the End through an end portal.

Optimizing Worlds

• The progress bar when optimizing worlds are now color-coded according to the type of dimension, and the ratio is calculated according to the number of chunks to optimize for each.
  • Green for the overworld, brown for the nether, and light orange for the end.
  • This applies even with custom dimensions.

Options

• The localization key for the offhand keybinding was changed from key.swapHands to key.swapOffhand.
• Changed the description of the offhand swap key in the controls section from "Swap Item In Hands" to "Swap Item With Offhand".
• Changed the description of fancy graphics to "'Fancy' graphics balances performance and quality for the majority of machines. [New line] Weather, clouds and particles may not appear behind translucent blocks or water."
  • Was previously "'Fancy' graphics balances performance and quality for the majority of machines."

Particles

• Bone meal particles
  • Now use 64-bit floats for spawning, not 32-bit.
    • This means that using bone meal at high distances from the world origin (notably greater than 17 million) will cause the particles to appear in expected places, and not far away from the target.

Pathfinding

• Cached repeated block type lookups and collisions during pathfinding for increased performance.

Predicates

• Top-level element in predicate file can now be array (all contents will be ANDed).

Raw JSON text format

• The JSON color component now supports 6-digit hexadecimal colors to specify custom colors other than the 16 default color codes.
  • Example: /tellraw @a {"text":"Turquoise output","color":"#00ff88"}
• The hoverEvent chat component now uses the parameter contents, with contents depending on type:
  • For show_text – chat component
  • For show_item – either item id or object with fields id, count and tag (with last one being serialized NBT)
  • For show_entity – object with fields: id (UUID), name (chat component) and type (entity type resource location)
  • The value argument is now deprecated, but still supported.

Realms

• Removed translation strings of:
  • mco.create.world.seed.
  • mco.trial.title.
  • mco.trial.unavailable.

Recipe book

• There is now a text that says "Search..." in the recipe book.

Region files

• Region files are now opened in synchronous mode only on Windows, not on other operating systems. Status of this feature can be manually controlled by following options:

  • For clients: syncChunkWrites within options.txt.

Rendering

• Improved entity shadows to the ground.
• Made experimental changes to graphics rendering.
• Added shader support for accessing the depth buffer.
• The renderer now uses per-pixel blending layers for some transparent elements.

Servers

• Added a enable-status option to the server.properties file which if set to false will suppress replies to status requests from clients.
  • This makes the server appear offline in the multiplayer screen.
• Added control over how much entity data a server sends to clients: entity-broadcast-range-percentage server property, controlling how close entities need to be before being sent to clients.
  • Higher values mean entities are visible further away from players but cause more network traffic.
  • Specifies a percentage of the default value so, for example, 50 specifies half of the default range.

Splash

• The splash "Sexy!" was changed to "Moderately attractive!"
• Removed some splashes:
  • Undocumented!
  • Down with O.P.P.!
  • Lewd with two dudes with food!

• Updated block tag enderman_holdable.
  • Added fungi, nylium variants, and roots.
  • Removed netherrack variant.
• The slabs block and item tags now use the respective wooden_slabs tag.
• Changed the logs block and item tags to use the logs_that_burn, crimson_stems, and warped_stems block and item tags, respectively.
• Changed the music_discs item tag to use the creeper_drop_music_discs item tag and the Pigstep music disc.
• Changed the stairs block and item tags to use their respective wooden_stairs tag.
  • This has effectively made crimson stairs and warped stairs a part of this tag.
• The sand block tag is now used to determine whether turtle eggs can hatch on a block.

The Nether

• Changed the ambient lighting in the Nether; it is now much darker.

UUIDs

• UUIDs stored in NBT are also represented as an array of four integers.
  • Example: {UUID:[I;1498693494,1027158888,1898994005,860320107]}
  • Renamed a couple of fields:
    • OwnerUUID of tamed animals, area effect clouds, evoker fangs and projectiles is now simply Owner.
    • TrustedUUIDs of foxes is now Trusted.
    • target_uuid of conduits is now Target.

• Changed the capitalization of some strings.
  • "Create backup and load" was changed to "Create Backup and Load".
  • "Go back" was changed to "Go Back".
  • "Reset to default" was changed to "Reset to Default".

World save files

• Region files are now opened in synchronous mode to increase prevent data loss and corruption after a crash.
  • Dedicated servers can disable that by changing sync-chunk-writes inside server.properties.

World save format

• Saving level.dat now uses randomly-named temporary files (instead of using level.dat_new every time).
