1.16.2 Pre-release 1 (known as 1.16.2-pre1 in the launcher) is the first pre-release for Java Edition 1.16.2, released on July 29, 2020,[1] which adds a new "distortion effects" option, allows chains to be placed along any axis, and fixes bugs.
Additions
General
- Added a new "Distortion Effects" slider, which affects screen distortion effects such as Nausea and the nether portal distortion.
- Ranges from OFF (0%) to 100%.
- As the slider goes lower, a green overlay will appear more intensely on the screen.
- Despite the options menu saying this replaces the nausea effect at lower levels, it actually acts as an inverse relationship. The nausea distortion is not truly disabled unless the slider is set to "OFF."
Changes
Blocks
- Can now be placed in all orientations.
- Crimson and warped roots
- Now require shears to drop.
- Various non-solid blocks
- No longer block projectiles.[more information needed]
Mobs
- No longer place their held blocks onto bedrock.
- Now become angry with players who open or destroy a minecart with chest.
- Now attempt to pathfind to, and stay in, lava.
- The zombified piglin riding a strider now spawns holding a warped fungus on a stick.
- Now lose their job sites when changing dimensions.
Gameplay
- The Soul Speed boost is now kept when jumping and when the soul block is covered by non-full blocks, such as slabs.
General
- Font
- Minor changes.[more information needed]
