What is new in 1.21.4

The Garden Awakens was released on 3 December 2024 and adds a pale, quiet biome with a mob you only defeat by finding its heart.

Pale Garden

A new biome with pale oaks, pale moss and hanging moss. It is calm by day, but not at night.

The Creaking

Appears at night near a creaking heart in a pale oak. Hitting it is pointless: it only disappears once you destroy the heart.

Resin

The creaking heart drops resin when you hit the Creaking. You use it to make resin bricks and a full block set.

Eyeblossom

A flower that opens at night and closes again by day.

For developers

The data pack format is 61 and the resource pack format 46.

This version on your own server

Choose type and version

Paper, Purpur, Vanilla or Fabric, in every version on our mirror. We add the right Java automatically.

Switch later

With the wizard in the panel you pick another type or version. We back up your server first, then it is reinstalled.

Plugins and mods

A plugin or mod has to support your server version. After a new release it often takes a while before everything is updated; check before you switch.

Players on the same version

A Java player connects with the version the server runs. When you switch, tell your players which version to pick in the launcher.

Frequently asked questions

Can I switch to another Minecraft version later?
Yes. With the wizard in the panel you pick another type or version. We back up your server first, then it is reinstalled with the right Java.
Does my world come along to a new version?
Minecraft converts a world to the new version as soon as the server loads it. Going back to an older version does not work well, so keep the backup from before the switch.
Will my plugins work on a new version?
Only if the plugin supports that version. Check the plugin page before you switch; after a big release, updates sometimes take a while.
Can players on another version join?
Not by default: a Java player picks the same version as the server in the launcher. With a plugin such as ViaVersion you can let newer clients join an older server.
