After Mojang released Minecraft 1.21.9, The Copper Age, many players noticed various bugs and started to report them to the game's bug tracker website.

One bug completely broke the repeater command blocks' tp command, which broke the player's character when they were teleported. Some item entities passing through blocks acted incorrectly; for example, bubble columns threw items way higher than they should.

Another bug was about a piston head clipping through entities like minecarts when the latter is stuck in cobwebs or powder snow.

Hence, Mojang was quick to fix some of these issues and drop the first release candidate for a Minecraft 1.21.10 hotfix update. Below are all the bug that are fixed in this small update:

MC-211096 - Entities in cobwebs clip through pistons
MC-278182 - Items glitch inside the piston head when pushed through powder snow or cobwebs
MC-301916 - The behavior of wind charges when colliding with certain blocks is different
MC-302321 - Chunks don't load while the player is being teleported
MC-302383 - Rooms with carpet on the floor cannot have maps in item frames placed on walls touching the floor
MC-302405 - Repeating(or chain) command block with any form of /tp [player] doesn't constantly tp the player to one spot
Fixed an issue that caused entities on bubble columns to fly high up into the air

As of now, Mojang has not revealed when they will officially release Minecraft 1.21.10. However, since it is a very small hotfix update that is already in the release candidate stage, chances are that it can be released in the coming week.
