Innovations and Changes

· Added support for the Kyrgyz language;

· Developers have reverted the bug fixes for "slow sprint." Long-time Minecraft players may remember that sprinting could be significantly faster by holding Shift. Mojang recently made changes to this mechanic, but due to community feedback, they have now been reverted, allowing players to sprint faster again by holding Shift;

· These changes had a significant impact on "parkour," map completion, and various other mechanics that relied on sprinting. The developers have reverted the changes, so the familiar movement mechanics remain. However, they have stated that they may revisit this issue in the future;

· Crossbow tooltips now display loaded projectiles. Players can hover over the item to see which arrows are currently loaded;

· The contents of all storage containers in the game will now be displayed when hovered over in the inventory, including Shulker Boxes.
