Several months ago, one of the biggest updates in Minecraft’s history was released and it reignited many players’ love for the nether. However, with game development, some features don’t make it into the final version while others get pushed back a version or two.
Within 1.16.2, we encounter the Piglin Brute. This fierce creature takes no pity to anyone whether they’re wearing gold or not. If you see one, you better start running. They are armed and will hunt you down. They do a significant amount of damage compared to their weaker variant of piglins.
Below you will see the changelog for Java and Bedrock. They both have new features but different bug fixes.
Piglin Brute
- Piglin Brutes are stronger versions of Piglins that live in bastion remnants and protect the treasures there
- Unlike their cowardly and greedy counterparts, the Piglin Brutes cannot be distracted by gold and aren’t afraid of anything
- Piglin Brutes attack players on sight, no matter how the player is dressed
- Piglin Brutes wield axes and don’t need any armor because they’re just that tough!
Key Bedrock Bug Fixes:
Fixed a crash that occurred on PlayStation 4 due to other players using custom skins
Worlds can once again be uploaded to Realms on Nintendo Switch
Mobs max spawn radius is now 44 blocks at sim distance 4

Key Java Bug Fixes:
Raids often will not end in defeat when all villagers are dead if there are job sites in the village
Player floats slightly above strider while riding it
Paintings in the same block space pop off when chunk loads
Villagers don’t always try to claim the closest workstation and are sometimes focused on a non-existent one or one out of their reach
Endermen can place blocks on top of item frames on the floor
Happy playing!
