　　Now Playing: The Most Influential Games Of The 21st Century Video: Minecraft

　　The Java Edition of Minecraft, which is really just the PC version of the game that launched in 2009, has a brand-new update that adds some new features, including music by the composer of Celeste.

　　The update introduces the new Bastion Remnants, a series of structures that house both the piglins and hoglins. These can be found in all Nether biomes except the Basalt Deltas, and there are four types of structures that contain loot and various other goodies. The livestock may not be too friendly, though.

　　A new music disc has been added to Minecraft: Java Edition as well, and it comes from Celeste composer Lena Raine. The track, "Pigstep," can only be found in the new Bastion Remnants and follows three other tracks Raine worked on for Minecraft proper with the latest Nether update.

　　Players will also see Ruined Portals littered throughout both the Nether and Overworld. They can be found hidden underground, buried in sand, or under the sea and may teleport you to a chest or somewhere else entirely. The update also adds some new blocks, addresses a variety of bugs, implements additional monitoring tools, and more.

　　In other Minecraft news, the game's RTX version will go into open beta on April 16. Nvidia has released its new Game Ready Driver, which includes support for Minecraft RTX. This should give you the best performance if you're getting into ray-tracing technology.

Added a button in the GUI that generates a jigsaw structure starting from the jigsaw block, using given generation depth.Expanded the max size per axis of Structure Blocks from 32 to 48.Added a JMX MBean to monitor dedicated server tick times.

JMX Monitoring

It is now possible to monitor the server tick times through JMX.The rationale for this is that JMX is a well-known and supported monitoring technology with existing integrations and tools.This enables server admins to hook alerts and graphing tools using ordinary JMX clients and dashboards.Enabling JMX Monitoring

　　A new flag enable-JMX-monitoring has been added to the server.properties file which if set to true will expose an MBean with the Object name net.minecraft.server:type=Server and two attributes averageTickTime and tickTimes exposing the tick times in milliseconds.In order for enabling JMX on the Java runtime you also need to add a couple of JVM flags to the startup as documented here.
