1.21.11 Pre-Release 5 (known as 1.21.11-pre5 in the launcher) is the fifth and final pre-release for Java Edition 1.21.11, released on December 3, 2025.[1]
A separate unobfuscated version of 1.21.11 Pre-Release 5 was released, titled 1.21.11 Pre-Release 5 Unobfuscated (or 1.21.11-pre5_unobfuscated when in the launcher). This is an experimental version released in preparation for obfuscation being removed from Java Edition clients and servers.[2]
This is the final pre-release released in 2025 and the last pre-release to use the old 1.x.y version format.
