Minecraft 1.19.1 Pre-Release 2

Hey everyone! As a few of you might have noticed, we’ve made the decision to postpone the release of 1.19.1 and we're now going back into pre-release mode. This is in order to address a few of our more noticeable issues. We've yet to fully decide on a new release date, but it won't be too far in the future.

We’ve received a lot of feedback regarding the Player Chat Report feature, which is something we address specifically in a newly released post here, as well as in our FAQ which hopefully answers all your questions!

Changes in 1.19.1 Pre-Release 2

We've added the ability to see the signing status of chat messages – this is so you can easily tell when a server is tampering with, or removing the signing security of, their players' messages.

Chat Trust Status

• Messages that are not signed with the Secure Chat system, or have been tampered with by the server will now be marked
  • Messages with missing or invalid signatures are marked as "Not Secure"
  • Messages that are detected as modified are marked as "Modified"
• The trust status of messages are displayed with 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 over the icon will provide more information about the trust status
  • For modified messages, the original secure text will also be displayed in the tooltip
