Minecraft Bedrock version 1.21.132 introduces a focused hotfix aimed at resolving several issues identified after the previous update. The patch primarily targets split-screen problems affecting Xbox players, along with graphical inconsistencies tied to textures, add-ons, and UI rendering.
In addition to visual fixes, the update improves overall stability by addressing command-related disconnections, item visibility bugs, and a specific freeze encountered when purchasing Realms on Nintendo Switch. While modest in scope, the update closes several frustrating edge cases that could disrupt regular play sessions.
