- The Minecraft 1.21.6 Pre-Release 1 changes the dried ghast vibrations to 11, whenever those blocks change their state.
- The saddles, horse armors, and carpets now have a vibration of 6 while equipping them, whereas it changes to 4 while unequipping them.
- With the latest pre-release, your happy ghast won't fly through another happy ghast ridden by a player.
Mojang is on its final stretch towards the second major drop of 2025, and Minecraft 1.21.6 Pre-Release 1 is here for that. Now, the focus has shifted primarily towards fixing bugs. However, we are also getting a few tweaks and modifications here and there, especially around the newly added blocks and mobs. With that and more, let’s quickly dive in and learn about the new changes brought about in the Minecraft 1.21.6 Pre-Release 1.
The Minecraft 1.21.6 Pre-Release 1 introduces some subtle yet impactful changes to ambient noises and vibration mechanics in the game. Now, the dried ghast blocks in Minecraft emit a vibration frequency of 11 the moment their block state changes.
So, you must head into the game right now and find out how the sculk sensors are going to react to this. While you’re at it, do note that the ambient sounds from the dried ghast blocks are now considered under the Blocks sound setting rather than the Ambient/Environment category.
Furthermore, equipping saddles, horse armor, or carpets on mobs will now trigger a vibration frequency of 6. Whereas, unequipping them will cause them to emit a vibration frequency of 4.
Finally, you might have noticed that while riding a happy ghast, you might fly completely through another one already ridden by someone else. This has been fixed and will no longer happen, giving you a smoother flying experience.
Other technical changes in the game include changing the Data Pack version to 79 and the Resource Pack to 63. With this pre-release, dialogs now specify whether they pause or close after an action is taken. Dialogs will now support inputs, and the order has been standardized to body, inputs, and then actions.
That summarizes all the new modifications introduced in the latest Minecraft 1.21.6 Pre-Release 1. While Mojang is hinting at more than one such update every week from now on, make sure to check them and play the new features so you don’t fall behind.
