 A Minecraft Java Pre-Release: MINECRAFT 1.19.4 PRE-RELEASE 1

We are now releasing the first pre-release for Minecraft 1.19.4. This pre-release contains a new high contrast accessibility setting, some updates to the Create World tab visuals, a new execute subcommand, improvements to startup performance, and lots of bug fixes!

For the remainder of the 1.19.4 cycle, you should mostly see bugs being fixed. In addition to that, pre-releases don't follow the regular snapshot cadence of releasing on Wednesdays, so keep an eye out for the next pre-release.

Happy mining!
