Release Java Edition Bug-fix update Patch of 1.14 Village & Pillage

Minecraft 1.14.2

Released on 27 May 2019, Minecraft Java Edition 1.14.2 fixes issues left over from 1.14.1 that had a big impact on gameplay. It recalculates all light the first time an older world is opened, stops animals, villagers and item frames from disappearing and makes raiders spawn only in fully loaded chunks.

Released 27 May 2019 Resource pack format 4 Data version 1963

Key takeaways

  • Lost entities: animals, villagers, Item Frames and Armor Stands no longer disappear (MC-150170).
