Minecraft 1.21.6 Pre-Release 2 – Chase the Skies Drop
Minecraft 1.21.6 Pre-Release 2 is a part of the “Chase the Skies” update, focuses on bug fixes and adjustments related to Happy Ghast and user interface features. The update resolves an issue causing unsigned books from version 1.9-pre1 to fail upgrading correctly, ensuring compatibility. Happy Ghasts with the NoAI attribute set to true can now be controlled by players, enhancing mob control gameplay. The “max_lines” field for multiline text input has been capped to prevent lag, and the initial text input value is no longer limited to 32 characters. Additionally, the update tweaks the sound and vibration frequency of the Dried Ghast Block and improves the dialogue system to better support server customizations.
