Realms Render Distance! What's New in Minecraft 26.3 Snapshot 9? **[slicedlime](https://daily.dev/sources/slicedlime)** · 4 min read · 2 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary Minecraft 26.3 Snapshot 9 arrived unexpectedly on a Monday, bringing render and simulation distance sliders for Realms, fixes to enderman and shulker teleportation bugs (including onto bedrock and while in vehicles), corrections to chorus fruit teleportation into dangerous locations, various visual and animation fixes, a new MacOS right-click emulation option, taskbar icon fixes, crash and performance stability improvements, and a new datapack version. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What changed with enderman teleportation in Minecraft's 26.3 Snapshot 9? Endermen and shulkers can no longer teleport onto bedrock, including the nether roof, in Minecraft 26.3 Snapshot 9. This snapshot also fixes endermen constantly trying to teleport while in a vehicle under daylight or while taking damage in rain, and while suffocating in a vehicle they can no longer hit targets they shouldn't reach, and can now be hit by projectiles themselves. _Track granular Minecraft snapshot changes like this on daily.dev before jumping into a new build._ ### Can I now control render distance and simulation distance for a Minecraft Realm? Yes, Minecraft 26.3 Snapshot 9 adds sliders to control both render distance and simulation distance for Realms. Similar to a dedicated server, render distance acts as a maximum cap on how much the server loads, which can affect performance depending on the setting chosen. _Server admins tuning Realm performance can follow snapshot changes like this via daily.dev._ ### Does eating chorus fruit still let you teleport into dangerous places in Minecraft? No, Minecraft 26.3 Snapshot 9 fixes eating chorus fruit so it can no longer teleport a player outside the world border or into powder snow. The same underlying teleportation logic is shared with endermen, which received a related set of teleport fixes in the same snapshot. _Players avoiding exploit-driven deaths keep up with fixes like this through daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#game-development](https://daily.dev/tags/game-development) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/shoot-an-enderman-realms-render-distance-what-s-new-in-minecraft-26-3-snapshot-9--y0ev43cpk) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Shoot an Enderman!
