Beyond new content, 1.21.10 reworks how parts of the game behave. The notable changes include protocol 773, unchanged from 1.21.9. Changes like these are typical of a point release, which refines an existing update rather than replacing it.

Before updating an existing world to 1.21.10, it is good practice to copy the save folder first. Worlds from 1.21.9 upgrade in place, but newly generated chunks will use 1.21.10's world generation while older chunks keep their original terrain.
