1.16 was reuploaded around 6 hours after release to attempt to fix an issue with the Realms menu which prevented clients from viewing and connecting to Realms (Template:Bug). The changes were only to the client, and the server jar files are functionally identical.<ref>Template:Reddit</ref> This hotfix was unsuccessful,<ref>Template:Bug</ref> and 1.16.1 was released the next day.
Entering another dimension other than the one containing the assigned lodestone causes the compass to spin uncontrollably, similar to regular compasses in the Nether or the End.
Upgraded using a Minecraft:smithing table with a netherite ingot and the respective diamond item.
Does not burn in lava or fire, as a dropped item or when worn (its durability does not decrease when the player takes damage from lava) (Minecraft:players equipping netherite armor, however, can still take burning damage).
Using this item (via Template:Mouse or whatever it's assigned to) while riding a Minecraft:strider temporarily boosts its speed, similarly to riding pigs, taking 1 damage whenever the strider's speed is boosted.
The Minecraft:player can Minecraft:barter with them by interacting with them while holding gold ingots or dropping them on the ground, which makes them drop at least one item or block in return.
A volcanic biome in the Nether. Filled with pillars of Minecraft:basalt and large areas of Minecraft:blackstone. The air is filled with a light gray ash-like particle.
Added new bartering mechanic, through which the player can trade items with piglins.
Bartering is done by interacting with piglins when holding gold ingots or dropping them on the ground, which makes the piglin drop at least one item or block in return, with different blocks and items having varying rarities.
The last game mode is remembered and is the first selected option, so it is possible to quickly toggle between two game modes with a single press of Template:Key.
Template:Key now toggles between Spectator mode and the previous game of the player.
Graphics
Added new "Fabulous!" graphics option
Uses per-pixel blending layers for some transparent elements.
Now follow the same placement rules as Minecraft:lanterns when being placed on the undersides of blocks. As a result they can now be hung from the bottom of the following blocks:
Added a button in the GUI that generates a jigsaw structure starting from the jigsaw block, using a given generation depth.
Added a new "Keep Jigsaws" option that controls whether jigsaw blocks in the resulting structure after using "Generate" remain jigsaw blocks or are replaced by their "Turns Into" block.
A single redstone wire is now represented as a cross.
Interacting with an isolated redstone toggles it between a cross and a dot.
A dot of redstone does not power surrounding blocks, and a cross does.
Redstone which is connected to anything is not toggleable.
Redstone provides power to blocks on sides it shows a visual connection to, and not do so on those sides without a visual connection.
A wire on top of a block, which is redirected from below, now powers the sides it is redirected to.
Wires that redirect upward to wires on non-conductive blocks used to be redirected only visually; now this redirection applies to their behavior as well.
A wire that is redirected to go over a block now always provides power to the block. This is most noticeable when the wire has signal strength 1.
Redstone dust's hitbox now better adjusts to its shape.
Particles are now generated across the entire area of the redstone wire; previously they appeared only at the center.
This now causes the particles to appear at the incorrect positions when millions of blocks away from the spawn point, due to precision loss<ref>Template:Bug</ref> (see Minecraft:Java Edition distance effects).
The compass now has LodestonePos, LodestoneDimension, and LodestoneTracked data fields. If LodestoneTracked is zero, game skips checking for a lodestone in the specified position.
Now points to the center of the spawn point block instead of its northwest corner.
Changed the chat output when enabling/disabling a data pack from "Enabled/Disabled data pack <datapack>" to "Enabling/Disabling data pack <datapack>".<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Changed the description from "Completely use up a diamond hoe, and then reevaluate your life choices" to "Use a Netherite ingot to upgrade a hoe, and then reevaluate your life choices."
Has been renamed to obtain_netherite_hoe.json. This means progress in this advancement is not kept when upgrading to this version.
Changed the description of "Sweet Dreams" from "Change your respawn point" to "Sleep in a bed to change your respawn point."
Changed the description of "Not Today, Thank You" from "Deflect an arrow or trident with a shield" to "Deflect a projectile with a shield."
Changed the description of "Ice Bucket Challenge" from "Form and mine a block of obsidian" to "Obtain a block of obsidian."
Changed the description of "Sky's the Limit" from "Find Elytra" to "Find elytra."
Added a new death message for being killed by an entity's wither skull projectile, "<player> was shot by a <entity>'s skull".
Debug messages
Changed the description of the F3+N shortcut in the F3+Q output from "F3 + N = Cycle creative <-> spectator" to "F3 + N = Cycle previous gamemode <-> spectator".
Template:Cd represents the number of chunks in which mobs can spawn. It is the same value given in debug reports as Template:Cd.
Template:Cd represent the number of mobs for each group that contribute to that group's Minecraft:mob cap. The groups are Template:Cd. They're also in debug reports.
In the Targeted Block and Targeted Fluid fields, the coordinates of the targeted block or fluid are now shown as well.
The "Looking At" field has been removed in favor of this.
Block storage format in chunks has been slightly changed to speed up various tasks (rendering, pathfinding, world generation, etc.).
Template:Cd in Template:Cd elements no longer contain values stretching over multiple 64-bit fields.
If the number of bits per block is not a power of two (i.e. single 64-bit value can't fill whole number of blockstates) some bits are not used.
For example, if a single block state takes 5 bits, the highest 4 bits of every 64-bit field are unused. That also means a slight increase in storage size (in case of 5 bits, from 320 to 342 64-bit fields).
Chat
Changed the capitalization of "Click to copy to Clipboard" to "Click to Copy to Clipboard".
Changed "Your home bed was missing or obstructed" to "You have no home bed or charged respawn anchor, or it was obstructed".
File:Bone meal precision loss.pngBone meal particles being generated at the corner of the block instead of at the sapling, one of many precision loss bugs fixed by 1.16.
Certain game mechanics, mainly a handful of different particles, have been modified to use 64-bit (double-precision) precision where they previously used 32-bit (single-precision).
As a result, the effects appear in the correct places even if the player is far away from the spawn point (with effects being the most extreme when over 16,777,216 blocks away). See Minecraft:Java Edition distance effects for a further explanation and history of such effects.
Particles dripping from Minecraft:leaves during rain no longer snap to block corners and are correctly randomized across the underside of the block.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
The book of the Minecraft:enchanting table now opens properly at high distances; previously there were cases where the player could be pressed right up to the block, yet the book would not acknowledge them.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Minecraft:TNT ignited by other explosions now appears at the right locations at high distances.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Chat component style now supports Template:Cd property, which is resource location for font in the resource pack. No entry is equivalent to Template:Cd.
Full range of Unicode characters is supported, making it possible to type emojis and other Unicode characters outside of the Basic Multilingual Plane.
However, custom resource packs must be used to display correct characters instead of tofu, due to the lack of these characters in the default font.
Template:Cd option now switches between normal and alternative font (called Template:Cd) – no reload needed.
Many new characters have been added.
Includes several remaining Latin and Armenian-language ligatures<ref>Template:Bug</ref> and the Georgian alphabet.
The new characters are: ´¨ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘꞯʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡʏᴢ§ɱɳɲʈɖɡʡɕʑɸʝʢɻʁɦʋɰɬɮʘǀǃǂǁɓɗᶑʄɠʛɧɫɨʉʊɘɵɤɜɞɑɒɚɝƁƉƑƩƲႠႡႢႣႤႥႦႧႨႩႪႫႬႭႮႯႰႱႲႳႴႵႶႷႸႹႺႻႼႽႾႿჀჁჂჃჄჅჇჍაბგდევზთიკლმნოპჟრსტუფქღყშჩცძწჭხჯჰჱჲჳჴჵჶჷჸჹჺ჻ჼჽჾჿתּשׂפֿפּכּײַיִוֹוּבֿבּꜧꜦɺⱱʠʗʖɭɷɿʅʆʓʚ₪₾֊ⴀⴁⴂⴃⴄⴅⴆⴡⴇⴈⴉⴊⴋⴌⴢⴍⴎⴏⴐⴑⴒⴣⴓⴔⴕⴖⴗⴘⴙⴚⴛⴜⴝⴞⴤⴟⴠⴥ⅛⅜⅝⅞⅓⅔✉☂☔☄⛄☃⌛⌚⚐✎❣♤♧♡♢⛈☰☱☳☴☶☷↔⇒⇏⇔⇵∀∃∄∉∋∌⊂⊃⊄⊅∧∨⊻⊼⊽∥≢⋆∑⊤⊥⊢⊨≔∁∴∵∛∜∂⋃⊆⊇□△▷▽◁◆◇○◎☆★✘₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉₊₋₌₍₎∫∮∝⌀⌂⌘〒ɼƄƅẟȽƚƛȠƞƟƧƨƪƸƹƻƼƽƾȡȴȵȶȺⱥȻȼɆɇȾⱦɁɂɃɄɈɉɊɋɌɍɎɏẜẝỼỽỾỿꞨꞩ𐌰𐌱𐌲𐌳𐌴𐌵𐌶𐌷𐌸𐌹𐌺𐌻𐌼𐌽𐌾𐌿𐍀𐍁𐍂𐍃𐍄𐍅𐍆𐍇𐍈𐍉𐍊🌧🔥🌊
Hitboxes
Fire now has a hitbox, unlike previously, where it did not, when putting out fire required targeting its base blocks.
Template:Cd parameter matches whether the fishing location is open water fishing or not.
Can be set to "false" in-game files to make AFK fishing farms work again. This removes the restriction of being able to obtain loot only from normal waters.
All "block states" files have improved spacing, and now define the namespace when referring to the model.
All model files now define the namespace when referring to a different model.
Multiplayer screen
Changed "Online play is not rated" to "Caution: Third-Party Online Play".
Changed "During online play you may be exposed to chat messages or other types of user generated content that has not been rated, and may not be suitable for all ages." to "Caution: Online play is offered by third-party servers that are not owned, operated, or supervised by Mojang or Microsoft. During online play, you may be exposed to unmoderated chat messages or other types of user-generated content that may not be suitable for everyone."
Obsidian platform now can get regenerated when a non-player entity enters the End through an Minecraft:end portal.
Optimizing worlds
The progress bar when optimizing worlds are now color-coded according to the type of Minecraft:dimension, and the ratio is calculated according to the number of chunks to optimize for each.
The localization key for the offhand keybinding was changed from key.swapHands to key.swapOffhand.
Changed the description of the offhand swap key in the controls section from "Swap Item In Hands" to "Swap Item With Offhand".
Changed the description of fancy graphics to "'Fancy' graphics balances performance and quality for the majority of machines. [New line] Weather, clouds and particles may not appear behind translucent blocks or water."
Was previously "'Fancy' graphics balances performance and quality for the majority of machines."
This means that using bone meal at high distances from the world origin (notably greater than 17 million) causes the particles to appear in expected places, and not far away from the target.
Pathfinding
Cached repeated block type lookups and collisions during pathfinding for increased performance.
Region files are now opened in synchronous mode only on Windows, not on other operating systems. Status of this feature can be manually controlled by following options:
For dedicated servers: sync-chunk-writes within server.properties.
For clients: syncChunkWrites within options.txt.
Rendering
Improved entity shadows to the ground.
Made experimental changes to graphics rendering.
Added shader support for accessing the depth buffer.
The renderer now uses per-pixel blending layers for some transparent elements.
This makes the server appear offline in the multiplayer screen.
Added control over how much entity data a server sends to clients: Template:Cd server property, controlling how close entities need to be before being sent to clients.
Higher values mean entities are visible further away from players but cause more network traffic.
Specifies a percentage of the default value so, for example, Template:Cd specifies half of the default range.
This update surpassed 1.14 for hosting the largest addition of new blocks into the Java Edition of the game, adding a total of 74 compared to 69. This record was surpassed by the following update.
Starting with 1.16, all major update version numbers are the same for both the Template:Els.<ref name="Skipping">Template:Tweet</ref><ref>Replying to [[[:Template:Tweet]] "are version numbers finally going to be the same across both bedrock and java then?"]: Template:Tweet</ref>
1.16 fixes the most bugs that were existent prior to its development out of any release version, beating 1.8.
