Stability Improvements

Mojang is finalizing the 26.1.2 update with this release candidate, targeting critical bugs that surfaced after the last build. Expect a stable release tomorrow if no major issues appear during this final test phase.

Version Details

  • Build Status: This candidate is designed for final verification before the official rollout.
  • Warning: Always back up your worlds before testing to avoid potential data corruption.

Everything else is just standard internal stability cleanup. A solid final polish before the full release.
