Realm Performance Boosts

Realms finally gets the granular control we need, allowing owners to push render distance up to 25 chunks and independently tune simulation distance. This is a huge win for server owners looking to optimize performance without sacrificing world visibility.

Quality of Life & Tech

  • Entity Logic: Endermen and Shulkers are now forbidden from teleporting onto bedrock blocks.
  • MacOS Utility: Added a dedicated option to enable Control+Click as a right-click.
  • Data Packs: Version 117.0 brings robust math functions like min, max, and product.

Over 40+ bug fixes including screen tearing, villager desync, and rendering issues were addressed. A surprisingly massive quality-of-life drop that makes Realms feel like a real server.
