1.9.3-pre2 is the second pre-release for Java Edition 1.9.3, released on April 27, 2016, which adds /stopsound, tests server blocking, and fixes bugs.

Additions

Command format

/stopsound

• Permits the player to choose which specific sounds should be stopped from playing.
  • Syntax: /stopsound <player> [source] [sound].

Changes

General

Networking

• In this version, the game checks https://sessionserver.mojang.com/blockedservers when connecting to a multiplayer server, and if the server is on the blocked server list, it reports to the user that the server is unavailable.
  • This behavior was removed in 1.9.3-pre3.

Fixes

4 issues fixed

From released versions before 1.9.2

• MC-87907 – Endermen don't become aggressive when players look at their head/feet.
• MC-96526 – Crash caused by StackOverflowError when trading too many items at once.

From the previous pre-release

• MC-101150 – Notch skin appears black.
• MC-101155 – Game crashes when opening my redstone world or joining the server.
