Windows version: 2.2.1768 MacOS version: 2.2.1769 Linux version: 2.2.1767
Release: 4 years ago

Tweaks and improvements

  • We've started working on adding animations to the Launcher. The game logos now have a nice bounce effect and the play button transitions to the corner. Swooosh!
  • New design for patch notes for Minecraft: Java Edition
  • Add support for Russian (pre-revolutionary) in the Launcher
  • Added Patch Notes tab for Minecraft Dungeons
  • Changed direction of fullscreen dialog animation
  • Enable localization of "No matching results" string on news page
  • Don't fancy a cup of Java? Have one anyway. This is how the Launcher used to work - you got Java runtime as soon as you installed it. Now we will only install JRE if you start Minecraft: Java Edition. We figured you might not want it if you only play Minecraft Dungeons.
  • Removed Herobrine from Java Alpha 1.0.16_02

Bug fixes

  • Removed arrow animation on disabled dropdown when hovering
  • MCL-16538 - Unable to launch Minecraft Launcher (thanks Jeremy Martinez)
  • MCL-16661 - "Play" button can still be pressed while disabled (thanks MMK21)
