The new "Advanced" tab in the Realms settings.

• Realms server hosting region preference selection:
  • Added a new "Advanced" tab to the Realms settings screen.
  • 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.

Changes

General

Graphical

• Updated the format of Template:Cd to include support for controlling the new End light flash in Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals. The Template:Cd section now has two groups: Template:Cd, which contains the lighting information around the sun and moon, and Template:Cd, which contains information about the Minecraft:End light flash. The Template:Cd section supports an Template:Cd field which controls the max illuminance of the End light flash, and a Template:Cd field, which controls the color of the flash. Example JSON with this new format follows:
