It also fixes a critical bug affecting the gameplay features of Realms when used under specific situations.

All bug fixes in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.3
The Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.3 is essentially a hotfix that has been released for players to address in-game issues. Hotfixes are released between updates to fix bugs or implement changes to gameplay features.
As with any other update, 1.21.3 addresses a few persistent issues in-game that were disrupting the gameplay experience. The update patched a bug where attempting to join a Realm when a resource pack was enabled failed with an error.
Notably, this update also addresses a bug affecting the salmon mob where all the fish turned small after players updated to the Bundles of Bravery. This update pushes a change where any small salmon from previous versions will be upgraded to their medium variants. This change will also affect those mobs spawned or created in the 1.21.2 edition that was just released.
