Minecraft is a sandbox game developed by Mojang Studios. The game was created by Markus “Notch” Persson in the Java programming language. Following several early private testing versions, it was first made public in May 2009 before being fully released in November 2011, with Notch stepping down and Jens “Jeb” Bergensten taking over development. The game received a new update, which focuses on the game’s issues. Let’s dive deep into the Minecraft Beta & Preview 1.21.80.28 update patch notes.

Bundles

Realms

• Realms Server Hosting Region Preference Selection:

  • In the advanced tab, Realm owners can select which datacenter region they would like to host their Realm in
  • Options include a list of regions, or allowing the Realms service to automatically select the best region for the Realm owner or the first player to join the Realm in a given session
  • Note that this selection is a preference only and due to server capacity, your Realm may be hosted in a different region than selected
  • In that case, the next closest region to your preference will be selected
  • Added a message during joining a Realm to indicate which server region your Realm is assigned to for that session
  • More information will be shared about Realms server hosting with the next full release
