Minecraft 1.21 Pre-Release 3

A Minecraft Java Pre-Release

The third pre-release for 1.21 is now available and it comes with even more bugfixes!

Additionally, we introduced some intentional but undocumented changes to the Wind Burst Enchantment in Pre-Release 1 last week. To remedy this, we're including those changes in this changelog instead.

Happy mining!

Changes

Wind Burst

Following changes were introduced in Pre-Release 1; The Wind Burst enchantment now bounces the player 7 blocks up per enchantment level
With great power comes great responsibility - and risk! At level 3, the enchantment will bounce the player 21 blocks up which doing some quick maths will hurt quite a bit when hitting the ground again
In other words, make sure you have a target locked in (or other means of mitigating the fall damage) before making contact with the ground again

Technical Changes

Data Pack version is now 48

Data Pack Version 48

replace_disc entity effect type is renamed to replace_disk
