1.21.11 Pre-Release 4 (known as 1.21.11-pre4 in the launcher) is the fourth pre-release for Java Edition 1.21.11, released on December 1, 2025.[1]
A separate unobfuscated version of 1.21.11 Pre-Release 4 was released, titled 1.21.11 Pre-Release 4 Unobfuscated (or 1.21.11-pre4_unobfuscated when in the launcher). This is an experimental version released in preparation for obfuscation being removed from Java Edition clients and servers.[2]
