Mojang is closing out the week with a second pre-release for version 1.21.11, bringing visual tweaks, performance improvements, and a fresh round of bug fixes.

This update focuses primarily on refining how foliage behaves when the See-Through Leaves option is disabled, alongside several stability and audio fixes.

What’s New

• When See-Through Leaves is turned off, gaps between leaves now appear dark green instead of black, creating a more natural look
• Disabling See-Through Leaves now provides a larger performance boost than in previous builds

Bug Fixes

The following issues introduced in 1.21.11 Pre-Release 2 have been resolved:

• Fixed an issue where the locked chest sound could not be heard by other players
• Corrected a grammatical error in the See-Through Leaves tooltip
• Resolved a bug causing locked chest sounds to play from the player instead of the chest
• Removed redundant level data fixer files being saved in world folders
• Fixed a crash that could occur when launching the game without an existing options.txt file
• Restored proper visuals for non see-through leaves
• Fixed an issue where the attack_range component interfered with hit detection

How to Play the Pre-Release

Pre-releases are available now for Minecraft: Java Edition. To try it out:

1. Open the Minecraft Launcher
2. Go to the Installations tab
