Mojang has released a minor update for Minecraft Bedrock Edition, version 1.21.71, to fix several issues introduced in the previous patch. This update primarily focuses on resolving technical problems affecting gameplay stability and platform-specific functionality. One of the key fixes addresses an issue where external link buttons were not working correctly on iOS devices, ensuring smoother navigation for mobile players.
Additionally, the update corrects a bug where mobs were playing their death animations at twice the intended speed, restoring proper visual consistency. Another important fix resolves a desynchronization issue between the client and server that caused entities to appear dead when they were not, leading to gameplay inconsistencies. These improvements enhance the overall gameplay experience, particularly for players affected by these issues in the prior update.’
