What’s new in Minecraft 1.21.2?

The Pockets : A new way to manage your inventory

• Recipe: Pouches can be created using leather and string.

Colored glass blocks

The update also adds new colored glass blocks, allowing players to create even more varied constructions. Now you can customize your creations with a wider range of colors, ideal for windows, stained glass and architectural works of art.

• Optical effects: colored glass can now interact with sunlight in different ways depending on the color used, adding an immersive touch to your creations.

Structural and balancing adjustments

The developers have also made adjustments to randomly generated structures in Minecraft 1.21.2. Villages, abandoned mines and other structures now appear with additional variations, making each exploration unique.

In addition, several adjustments have been made to improve the balancing of the game:

• Mob appearance: Adjustments to appearance rates have been made to balance out the difficulty in certain areas.
• Item changes: Some rare items, such as diamonds and enchanted books, are now harder to obtain, adding to the challenge of the game.
