1.16.4 Pre-release 2 (known as 1.16.4-pre2 in the launcher) is the second and final pre-release for Java Edition 1.16.4, released on October 22, 2020,[1] which changes some features related to server, accessibility, splashes, and fixes bugs. This was also the final pre-release in 2020.

Changes[edit | edit source]

General[edit | edit source]

Accounts
  • When logging in with a Microsoft account, players blocked in that account are now also blocked in the game, and account restrictions are now respected.
Accessibility
  • A button to open a link to the accessibility guide can now be found in the "Accessibility Options" screen.
Multiplayer
  • When the server and client version are incompatible, a red message is shown instead of the dark red message.
  • When multiplayer is disabled, the message displayed now reads, "Multiplayer is disabled. Please check your Microsoft account settings." instead of "Multiplayer is disabled. Please check your launcher settings."
Social Interactions
  • The status of a player is now listed below their name on the social interactions screen.
  • A new tab is available to filter by blocked players in the social interactions screen.
  • Chat from blocked players is always hidden.
  • Realms invites from blocked players are hidden.
  • Changed and removed the textures of a few UI elements on the social interactions screen.
Splashes
  • The splashes relating to the Black Lives Matter movement have been added to splashes.txt. These splashes were added to the game via a launcher update during 1.16.2 but were not in splashes.txt. The splashes are:
    • Black lives matter!
    • Be anti-racist!
    • Learn about allyship!
    • Speak OUT against injustice and UP for equality!
    • Amplify and listen to BIPOC voices!
    • Educate your friends on anti-racism!
    • Support the BIPOC community and creators!
    • Stand up for equality in your community!
