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]
Changes
Items
- While charging, the spear hit animation and sound now play only after the previous hit animation has fully completed.
- While charging in first person, the spear head now gradually rotates to a fully vertical position over time, matching the behavior in third person.
Mobs
- Tamed horses no longer run into cactus or sweet berry bushes.
General
- The attack range extension for players in Creative mode is set to 4 or 6 blocks in certain cases.
- The "See-Through Leaves" video setting is now turned off on the "Fast" graphics preset.

- MC-303036 – Zombie nautiluses with a negative age possess a hitbox the size of a baby nautilus.
- MC-303709 – Dumping dynamic textures with large textures makes the game crash.
- MC-304045 – Spear hit sounds play the normal hit sounds.
- MC-304362 – RGSS breaks permanently when toggling hardware anisotropic filtering.
- MC-304363 – Copper golem statues render at the wrong position in shelves when reloading resource packs.
- MC-304407 – Charge attacks are impossible when looking at a mob that's between 3 and 4.5 blocks away.
- MC-304440 – The mouse cursor changes to the pointing hand shape when hovering over inventory slots in the crafter UI.
- MC-304441 – The mouse cursor changes to the pointing hand shape when hovering over the creative inventory scroll bar's bounds even if it's invisible or inactive.
