Apart from this, it also addresses a critical bug where Text and texture atlases become visually corrupted after a while on some Intel integrated graphics. Alongside that, it resolves the visual issue where Entities are shaded incorrectly after a while on Intel graphics of Gen11 architecture.

The Minecraft 1.21.8 hotfix update also resolved the bug where items in the inventory can turn into a solid color and then disappear, while text can render colored on some Intel integrated graphics. Additionally, the update also provides a resolution to the crash with an AMD graphics card when loading a Resource Pack with an invalid shader.

Players can download the Minecraft 1.21.8 Release Candidate 1 ahead of its release if they do not wish to be plagued by these bugs, ensuring hassle-free gameplay while yearning for the mines.
