Guarding the Nether Gold - Minecraft Java Edition 1.16.2 is out!

Posted: 11 Aug 2020 08:59 AM PDT

This update can also be found on minecraft.net.

Ever since the Nether Update, the Piglins have seen players sneaking in and having a peek in their chests - well no more! With 1.16.2, we're introducing the Piglin Brute – a Piglin so focused on guarding the Bastion Remnants' chests that even gold can't distract them.

That's not all that's new though! Last week we released a new combat test snapshot - try it out and give feedback!

Features in 1.16.2

Two new accessibility settings have been added to help with visual comfort

Distortion effects such as nausea and the Nether portal overlay can now be reduced
At lower values, the nausea effect is replaced with a green overlay as an alternative visualization

Chat delay has been added to the Chat Settings screen
Pressing F3+D now clears the pending chat messages

Piglin Brute

Piglin Brutes are stronger versions of Piglins that live in bastions and protect the treasures there
Unlike the their cowardly and greedy counterparts, the Piglin Brutes cannot be distracted by gold and aren't afraid of anything
Piglin Brutes attack players on sight, no matter how the player is dressed
Piglin Brutes wield axes and don't need any armor, because they're just that tough

Respawn Block Positions

Modified how respawn positions are chosen for beds and respawn anchors
Respawn anchors will prioritize cardinal directions over corners
Beds will prioritize the side of the bed the player entered from and then spaces circling around the foot of the bed up to the head of the bed
Respawning players will now face the block that they respawned at
Placing players onto dangerous blocks is now avoided when possible
