1.21.11 Pre-Release 3 (known as 1.21.11-pre3 in the launcher) is the third pre-release for Java Edition 1.21.11, released on November 25, 2025.[1]

A separate unobfuscated version of 1.21.11 Pre-Release 3 was released, titled 1.21.11 Pre-Release 3 Unobfuscated (or 1.21.11-pre3_unobfuscated when in the launcher). This is an experimental version released in preparation for obfuscation being removed from Java Edition clients and servers.[2]
