We’ve officially crossed into unfamiliar territory friends. Minecraft Java Edition 1.14.3 Pre-Release 1 has been released for early testers to try out, which marks the first time in 3 years and 4 major versions that Minecraft has had higher than a .2 release (the last time this happened was 1.9.4 on May 10th, 2016).
This Pre-Release brings with it a number of minor quality of life changes and bug fixes, though none quite as critical as what we saw in 1.14.2. CraftBukkit, Spigot, and other server variants have not yet been updated to start testing this release (that typically happens when the final version is shipped, so we have time to wait), but if you run Vanilla MC then you can get your hands on this to try out now at the button below.
We’re gonna guess that there will be one or two more Pre-Releases of 1.14.3 before the final version arrives.
Some Notable Changes/Fixes:
Here are a few of the points in the changelog that caught out attention the most, though there are plenty more if you’d like to look through the full list.
- Villagers that are panicking now have a bigger chance of spawning Iron Golems
- MC-74407Â – Villager inventories can get into a state where villagers cannot do anything useful
- MC-151185Â – Game crash after breaking villager point of interest
- MC-151337Â – Mob spawn rate too high
- MC-151395Â – Farmers create Bread ONLY when they pick up at least 3 wheat AT ONCE
- MC-151995Â – Patrol Leaders spawning without banner
It’s great to see the Mojang team is working hard on these bug fixes. With the major fixes coming through in 1.14.2 recently, the Village and Pillage update seems to be heading swiftly towards stability. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for continued improvement to server-side performance.
Donât forget to report any bugs you run into on Mojangâs bug tracker, or send the team your ideas for future updates on the Official Minecraft Feedback Site. As we can see by this update, every tip sent to Mojang can help make the game better for all of us.

dang they need to slow a tad, I can’t keep up lol
They’re in rapid-fire mode right now. It’s cool, but definitely also makes me want to keep holding off on making my server public. lol
See I like updates but when they are 2 times a week almost I just don’t feel the game as much you know. I do understand that there are bugs and they are just trying to get that fixed, but 1.14 just came out in may and if i were them i’d slow down a bit, they are not going to lose the how many millions or billions of people that play within 2 and a half weeks.
What I am trying to say that they should slow down and think how they can update the game to have less bugs and new things to add.
I understand what you mean completely. It’s a tough spot Mojang was in. They wanted to get 1.14 out by the 10th Anniversary, and players were getting more and more demanding asking for Village and Pillage to be released. Unfortunately, they had to rush the initial release to get it out before the 10th Anniversary, and that’s what caused a lot of the bugs as far as I can tell.
From what I’ve heard, Mojang has been making changes internally to actively prevent this from happening with 1.15 and above, so I think you’ll get what you’re looking for. đ
About time Mojang does what I want LOL. See now I understand why they rushed it, but now they can slow it down they made 1.14.4 so far i think… But yeah I would like to see them go back to how they were like, I used to own Minecraft on my old PC back in 2012 so yeah. I played on a lot of servers like 2b2t and all that but all im saying is they should go back to how they were.
