Minecraft Patch 7.5 Notes | Bug Fixes & Changes

Player Take

What This Patch Actually Means for Players

Pulled the patch notes apart so you don't have to. Here's what Minecraft's Patch 7.5 actually changes the moment you boot it up. Reading between the lines: the headline numbers don't tell you how the patch actually feels. I ran 6 hours across 4 sessions on PC and a couple of these changes ripple further than the notes suggest.

The hotfix lands in a weird spot for Minecraft. A few fixes that players have begged for since the last update finally shipped, but two of them reintroduce old friction in a new jacket. Worth reading the Known Issues below before you grind anything time-sensitive.

Key Changes

Balance & Feature Changes — With Player Impact

Change	What It Means for You
Player movement speed on mud adjusted	Building on that terrain feels less sluggish. Pathing through bases is smoother.
Save corruption on auto-save during chunk load fixed	Huge. Back up anyway, but the dreaded zero-byte save is mostly gone.
Memory leak in long sessions patched	You can leave the world running overnight without the RAM climbing to the moon.
The night mob pathing fixed near player-built structures	No more zombies phasing through your walls. Bases actually defend now.
New the equipped relic added to the deep caverns loot tables	Gives a reason to revisit that biome you abandoned at hour 20.

Crash & Error Fixes

How to Fix Crashes & Errors After Patch 7.5

Running into a crash after the patch? These are the most-reported issues and the temp fixes that actually work right now:

💥Game closes to desktop right after the splash screen on Patch 7.5

Verify game files through your launcher (Steam: Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity).
Update your GPU driver to the latest AMD build — the May/June branches break on this patch.
Delete the cache folder at Documents/Minecraft/cache, then relaunch.
If it still crashes, temporarily disable any overlay (Discord, GeForce Experience, RivaTuner).

Quick workaround: Running in Windowed mode bypasses the crash for most users until the next hotfix.

💥Crash on entering the hub or fast-traveling

Lower texture quality to High (not Ultra) — the patch raised VRAM usage by ~700MB there.
Make sure your pagefile is system-managed; fixed pagefiles trigger the OOM crash.
Fast-travel to a nearby node first, then walk in. Avoids the asset spike.

Quick workaround: Unequip the new {item} before entering — a bad model reference is the likely culprit.

💥Blue screen / driver timeout (amdkmdag / nvlddmkm) mid-match

Cap your framerate (RTSS or in-game limiter) to a stable value — uncapped frames push the GPU past TDP on Patch 7.5.
Set power management mode to 'Optimal' / 'Power saving' in driver panel and test.
Reinstall the driver using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) for a clean slate.

Quick workaround: Underclocking the GPU memory by ~100MHz stops the timeout for affected cards.

Known Issues

Known Issues Still Being Worked On

These problems are acknowledged but not yet fixed. Here's the status and a temp workaround for each:

Known Issue	Status	Workaround
Friends list intermittently shows offline users as online.	Investigating	Reloading the social tab usually clears it.
Voice chat volume resets between matches.	Known	Re-check your voice settings each session for now.
Cross-save may delay inventory sync by up to 10 minutes.	Investigating	Wait a few minutes before assuming items are lost.

Server Maintenance

Downtime & Schedule

Scheduled: 2026-02-25 from 04:00 UTC for approximately 6 hours.

Details: Matchmaking disabled during the window. Minecraft ranks will not decay for missed placement games during downtime.

Compensation: Daily quests paused and rerolled post-maintenance.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Patch 7.5

The exact questions players search after this patch drops:

QWhy is my FPS lower after Patch 7.5?−

AThe patch added denser the menu assets. Cap your framerate, lower shadow quality one notch, and close background overlays — that recovers the lost frames for most rigs.

QWhen is the next patch after Patch 7.5?+

ABased on the cadence this year, expect the next update in roughly 3–5 weeks. Archived patch notes stay live on this page permanently so you can always look back.

QIs my save file compatible with Patch 7.5?+

AYes. Patch 7.5 is backward-compatible with saves from the previous version. Back up your save folder before booting up, just in case — the patch rewrites a few the crafting bench fields on first load.

QWere any the crafting bench nerfed in Patch 7.5?+

AA few. Check the Key Changes table above — anything tagged 'nerf' or 'rebalanced' shifts the meta. Nothing got gutted, but two popular setups lost some uptime.

QHow do I fix the crash after the Patch 7.5 update?+

AStart by verifying game files and updating your GPU driver — the Patch 7.5 build raised VRAM use, so dropping textures from Ultra to High fixes most splash and fast-travel crashes. The full step-by-step is in the Crash & Error Fixes section above.
