Minecraft 26.2 Pre-Release 1

#

Today we’re rolling out the first pre-release for 26.2! From this point on, you should mostly see bug fixes as we prepare for release. Pre-releases also break away from the usual Tuesday snapshot rhythm, so keep an eye out for the next one!

With this pre-release, we are removing the Peer-to-Peer connection feature introduced in a recent snapshot. Because the experience wasn’t what we wanted it to be for all players, we do not consider the feature ready for release in its current form.

Known issues

#

• The game crashes on systems that do not have Vulkan
  • As a workaround, to run the game on these system, edit options.txt and find the line preferredGraphicsBackend:"default" - change the word "default" to "opengl"

Technical Changes

Server properties

#

• Added chat-spam-threshold-seconds and command-spam-threshold-seconds properties, separating the spam thresholds for chat vs commands
  • Both thresholds are set to 10 by default, which was the existing threshold for combined command+chat spam
  • These thresholds configure the mechanism that automatically kicks players for sending too many chat messages or commands
  • The value describes how many seconds worth of spamming a player must do to get kicked, where each message a player sends increases the counter by 1 second
  • The counter is decremented once per tick (equivalent to 1/20th of a second), and a player is kicked if their counter reaches the configured threshold
  • Either threshold can be set to 0 to disable kicks for the associated type of spam
  • Examples of message rates that would cause a kick, given the default threshold of 10:
    • Sending 11 messages in 1 second
    • Sending 14 messages in 2 seconds
    • Sending 21 messages in 10 seconds
