1.21 Pre-Release 4 (known as 1.21-pre4 in the launcher) is the fourth and final pre-release for Java Edition 1.21, released on June 7, 2024,^[1] which fixes bugs.

Changes

Items

Mace

Can no longer be enchanted with Sharpness.

Non-mob entities

TNT

After a primed TNT has gone through a nether portal, it will no longer be able to destroy nether portal blocks.

Gameplay

Enchantments

The "Burning Time" reduction effect of Fire Protection and "Knockback Resistance" effect of Blast Protection now stack from wearing several pieces.
- Wearing a full set of enchanted armor is needed to get the maximum benefit of these effects.
- This makes wearing a fully enchanted armor set still grant the same effect as in 1.20.6.
