Minecraft recently received an update that fixed lots of bugs. The developers also have made a technical change: Minecraft now uses Java 17. If players are using a third-party launcher or custom java setup, then they have to manually update Java to version 17 or above.
Additionally, an issue where sprinting while flying into a block causes the screen to rapidly zoom in and out has been fixed in the latest update. This was annoying because it can happen a lot if you are using the Creative Mode to move around places.
