Not to be confused with Bedrock Edition 1.16.40.
1.16.4 is an upcoming minor update to Java Edition set to release between October 26 and November 1, 2020,[1] which will add the social interactions screen and fix bugs.
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
Items
- Netherite Leggings
- Changed the texture of the worn netherite leggings model.
General
- Options
- Added "joinedFirstServer" option to options.txt.
- Servers
- When the server and client version are incompatible, a message reading "Incompatible version!" will be displayed, instead of "Client out of date!" or "Server out of date!"
- 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.
