Mojang today updated Minecraft Bedrock Edition with version 1.21.132, a minor hotfix that aims to iron out various issues leftover from the last update. No new content is included with this build, but there are plenty of fixes to systems scattered throughout the game.
Issues with split-screen have been addressed after some users experienced difficulties, particularly on Xbox. Purchases in Realms were also causing issues on Nintendo Switch as players experienced freezes when attempting to checkout. A couple graphical issues were also fixed with this hotfix.
Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.132 Patch Notes Overview
Split-Screen and Account Fixes
Split-screen players should notice immediate improvements following the update. Mojang has resolved an issue that could cause Xbox player data to become disconnected from the associated account during split-screen sessions.
Additional fixes ensure that:
- Add-on resources no longer disappear when a second player joins
- Split-screen sessions behave more consistently across menus and gameplay
These changes improve reliability for local multiplayer, which has been a recurring pain point for some players.
Graphics and Visual Improvements
Several graphical issues have been addressed to improve visual consistency. Textures now reload correctly when switching between graphics modes in the main menu, preventing visual glitches after toggling settings.
Other visual fixes include:
- The compass no longer randomly becoming invisible
- Attachables rendering properly when the game is paused
- Correct visuals when items appear in NPC user interface windows
These updates help reduce immersion-breaking bugs during normal play.
Gameplay, Commands, and Stability
The hotfix also improves overall stability during gameplay. A bug that could disconnect players when using the command /effect @e on a large number of entities has been resolved, reducing the risk of unintended disconnections.
Realms Fix for Nintendo Switch
Nintendo Switch players will be pleased to see a fix for an issue that could cause the game to freeze when purchasing a Realm. This should make Realms access more reliable moving forward.
