It's a brand new week and it looks like the developers at Mojang have kicked us off with a new release candidate that fixes a few bugs related to duplication and path finding issues. It's not exactly the most exciting of updates, but everything happening with Minecraft is still worth noting!
Minecraft 1.16.3 brings two small bugfixes to the game. One of them fixes the duplication of when you give an item and a gold bar to a baby pig that would die and the item would be duplicated. If you were harassing those poor baby Piglins, then those days are over. It seems duplication wasn't the only issue with the Piglins, as they also updated their pathfinding. When Piglins, Piglin Brutes, Hoglins, and Zoglins would attack, they would apparently have trouble reaching the player. This should no longer be the case, which means you might have a little more trouble in the Nether!
The major release of Minecraft 1.16 saw the addition of many additions to The Nether. Among these were all-new biomes, landmarks, and mobs that you could fight or interact with. More players than ever are heading to the Infernal Realm to explore and plunder the riches that lie below. If you're someone who likes to have the most powerful gear, then finding Ancient Debris and crafting Netherite Armor should be a priority!
Although this is a very minor update, we should soon have some bigger news regarding Minecraft. We've just received news of the full release of the PSVR version of the game, and Minecraft Live is right around the corner, which could set the stage for the Minecraft 1.17 update expected at some point!
