MINECRAFT’S next big update is still in development with studio Mojang, but the 1.19.20 patch has brought some big changes to the game.

While users have complained of the broken chat report system, this is not one of the changes made in today’s update.

Changes have been made to improve certain animals.

However, there are some much-needed tweaks that have been made today, which will definitely be good news to a number of fans.

Here are the five biggest changes and fixes you need to know about.

Minecraft Java Edition fixes

The fixes for the Java Edition of Minecraft mostly focus on the Bedrock Edition.

There are two fixes to the secure chat system which help deal with crashes on both the social interaction screen and with the system in general.

Middle mouse support in Minecraft on iOS

The ‘pick block’ command allows players in Creative Mode to place blocks from their hand, and in Survival Mode allows you to place blocks from the Hotbar.

This command has now come to iOS, so these mobile users can now build faster.

Minecraft zombies can break doors again

Back in the day, players needed something much stronger than a wooden door to keep zombies from entering their homes.

While Mojang decided to remove the feature, those playing on hard mode will now have to face the peril once more.

When zombies smash into your door there is now a 10% chance of it breaking, so players will need stronger entrances to keep themselves safe.

Minecraft polar bears no longer panic when attacked

Polar bears in Minecraft will not attack you unless they are provoked, either by hitting one, or by going near their cubs.

However, there was a bug that was making polar bears both hostile and panicked when attacked.

This meant they would both try to attack the player and also run away. Anyway, they don’t do that anymore.

Sculk’s hearing changed

Sculks have the ability to head and react to sounds nearby, but it didn’t trigger in some instances.

For example, if it could hear two sounds at once, it could act erratically.

Now they only react to the closest sound they hear, or if there are two sounds coming from the same place, only the louder one is reacted to. 

You can read the full Minecraft Java Edition patch notes and the full Minecraft Bedrock Edition patch notes on the official Mojang website.
