Since the arrival of the Wild Update in Minecraft, the developers at Mojang Studios have been constantly making some changes to the cubic title. This time it is pre-release 2 of version 1.19.1 with mainly, once again, changes concerning the game chat.
For this week, Mojang Studios decided to backtrack by making the decision to postpone the release of Minecraft version 1.19.1 in an attempt to fix some pretty big issues.
As of this writing, the developers still haven’t set a new release date, but have released pre-release 2 of version 1.19.1 in which, once again, the game chat but also the reports have undergone some changes. Among the latter, the possibility now for players to see the status of signature of chat messages.
Minecraft Version 1.19.1 Pre-release 2 Patch Note
Changes made in Pre-release 2
We added the ability to see the status of chat message signatures. This way, you can easily find out if a server changes or removes the security of its players’ message signatures.
Chat trust status
- Messages that are not signed with the Secure Chat system, or that have been altered by the server, will now be marked
– Messages with missing or invalid signature are marked as “Not secure”.
– Messages that are detected as modified are marked as “Modified”. - The trust status of messages is displayed by both a colored indicator and an icon.
– The colored indicator is always visible
– The icon is only visible when the chat screen is open. - Hovering the mouse over the icon provides more information about the trust status.
– For edited messages, the original secure text will also be displayed in the tooltip.
Pre-release 2 technical changes
- Chat types added to the chat_types registry are now only used for player chat, not system messages.
– System and game_info chat types have been removed. - Chat types have been simplified and are only needed to set chat and narration decorations.
– Chat types no longer support overlays
– A system message must be used to display overlays.
