'''1.16.4 Pre-release 2''' (known as '''1.16.4-pre2''' in the [[launcher]]) is the second and final pre-release for [[Java Edition 1.16.4]], released on October 22, 2020,<ref>{{Mcnet|minecraft-1-16-4-pre-release-2|Minecraft 1.16.4 Pre-release 2|October 22, 2020}}</ref> which changes some features related to server, accessibility, splashes, and fixes bugs. This was also the final pre-release in 2020.

== Changes ==
=== General ===
'''Accounts'''
* When logging in with a Microsoft account, players blocked in that account are now also blocked in the game, and account restrictions are now respected.

'''Accessibility'''
* A button to open a link to the accessibility guide can now be found in the "Accessibility Options" screen.

'''[[Multiplayer]]'''
* When the server and client version are incompatible, a red message is shown instead of the dark red message.
* When multiplayer is disabled, the message displayed now reads, "Multiplayer is disabled. Please check your Microsoft account settings." instead of "Multiplayer is disabled. Please check your launcher settings."

'''[[Social Interactions]]'''
* The status of a player is now listed below their name on the social interactions screen.
* A new tab is available to filter by blocked players in the social interactions screen.
* Chat from blocked players is always hidden.
* Realms invites from blocked players are hidden.
* Changed and removed the textures of a few UI elements on the social interactions screen.

'''[[Splash]]es'''
* The splashes relating to the Black Lives Matter movement have been added to {{mono|splashes.txt}}. These splashes were added to the game via a launcher update during [[Java Edition 1.16.1|1.16.2]] but were not in {{mono|splashes.txt}}. The splashes are:
** Black lives matter!
** Be anti-racist!
** Learn about allyship!
** Speak OUT against injustice and UP for equality!
** Amplify and listen to [[wikipedia:BIPOC|BIPOC]] voices!
** Educate your friends on anti-racism!
** Support the BIPOC community and creators!
** Stand up for equality in your community!
