Minecraft 1.21.80.27

A new update of the Minecraft Beta and Preview 1.21.80.27, has been released with several improvements and bug fixes. This update introduces experimental features for biome replacement, enhances effects in Vibrant Visuals mode, and resolves issues that previously affected smooth gameplay.

Experimental

• Added the minecraft:replace_biomes component, allowing parts of vanilla biomes to be replaced with custom ones. Used in biome files within behavior packs.
• Known issues:
  • Mobs do not spawn on custom blocks.
  • Removing an add-on with a custom biome may cause errors.
  • Fully replacing all biomes can cause lag when using the /locate structure command.

Changes

• Added the /controlscheme command to switch control schemes when the Experimental Creator Camera toggle is enabled.
• Ambient sounds have been added for:
  • Sand
  • Dead Bush
  • Terracotta
• The "Filter Profanity" toggle is now available on:
  • Xbox
  • Nintendo
• Fireworks used while gliding now only provide a boost, even when placed on a block.
• Local exposure has been re-enabled on all platforms in Vibrant Visuals mode.

Bug Fixes

• Using a firework near blocks (like Sugar Cane) no longer causes rubberbanding or teleporting.
• Candles, chiseled bookshelves, and dried kelp blocks now use PBR textures in both Vibrant Visuals and Ray Tracing modes.
• Stained glass now renders with correct colors in Vibrant Visuals mode.
• Basalt can now be generated again if Soul Soil is placed after Lava and Blue Ice.
• The Bundle UI now correctly disappears when interacting with inventory tabs in Pocket UI.
• Exiting the bed screen no longer causes the game to freeze temporarily.
• Evoker legs now animate properly when walking.
