1.16.4 is an upcoming minor update to Java Edition with no set release date,[1] which will add the social interactions screen and fix two bugs.
Contents
Additions
- General
- Added Social interactions screen.
- Gives players the ability to disable chatting with certain players, thus hiding any messages receiving from them.
- Opens with a configurable key binding, by default P.
- Whether a player is hidden resets when re-joining a server.
Changes
- Technical
- New network protocol scheme, with a high bit (bit 30) set for snapshots. The protocol version will increase by 1 for each snapshot, but full releases may keep the same protocol version as the previous full release in cases where the network protocols are compatible.
- More information is now added to the crash log in cases where poor performance causes the server to crash.
Fixes
- 2 issues fixed
- From 1.16
- MC-192434 – The 3D model of worn netherite leggings renders incorrectly.
- From 1.16.2
- MC-199487 – World generation deadlock causes crash.
