1.14 Pre-Release 2 is the second pre-release for Java Edition 1.14, released on April 12, 2019,^[1] which adds 2 new advancements, a new Mouse Settings menu and increases performance.

Advancements

• Added 2 new advancements:
  • Voluntary Exile – Kill a raid captain.
  • Hero of the Village – Successfully defend a village from a raid.

Illager banner

• Renamed to ominous banner.

Options

• Sensitivity, invert mouse and touchscreen mode have been moved to a subsection "mouse settings".
• Added new options scroll sensitivity and discrete scrolling, also in "mouse settings"; these fix MC-123773.
  • Scroll sensitivity is a multiplier for scroll magnitude; the setting was first added in 18w21a but was only accessible by editing mouseWheelSensitivity in options.txt.
  • Discrete scrolling tells the game to ignore scroll magnitude values given by the operating system and instead to act as if the operating system supplied −1 or +1. These will be influenced by the sensitivity afterward if needed.
  • If unwanted scrolling occurs, enable discrete scrolling and set the sensitivity to 1.

HUD

• The falling animation (player's held item or hand sliding upwards towards the top of the screen as the player free-falls) has been removed. However this is likely a bug and not intended.

Performance

• Improved performance.

Statistics

• Added new statistics:
  • Bells rung
  • Interactions with cartography table
  • Interactions with loom
  • Interactions with stonecutter
  • Raids triggered
  • Raids won
