26.20 (also known as 1.26.20^[1]) is a minor update for Bedrock Edition released on May 5, 2026,^[2][3] which adds closed captions, parties, the Realms Hub, experimental features for Chaos Cubed, and fixes bugs.

Parties

• Players can now create and join "parties", which are groups of people found in the social drawer where all members automatically join any world, Realm, or server the leader is in.
  • Party members will only follow the party leader to a Realm if they are a member of the Realm.
  • The social drawer is now also available on the main menu, and split in sections for friends, party, and world.
• Members don't need to be in the leader's world and can still be in the menus or a different world while in a party.
• Parties can contain up to 15 members.
  • The leader can choose what type of privacy setting the party has: "Invited only" requires the leader to send an invite to in-game friends to join, or "Open" makes the party accessible for any friends.
• The leader can promote other members to leader.
• A new settings tab allows the player to change which invites are shown, whether members can also send invites, and the default party privacy setting.
• Added text chat for parties within the social drawer.
  • It functions identically to the gameplay chat but allows chatting outside of worlds or between worlds.
  • The current party chat is opened by default, left from the social drawer, with an input box.
  • The chat can be opened/closed for any joined party with a button bar.

Realms

• Added the Realms Hub, which is a central place for the Realm. It replaces Realms Stories and all old settings menus.
  • The "Realms" tab in the Play screen has been updated, and there is now one button to open the Hub.
  • Realms Stories is merged with the Hub. The "Story Feed" tab is available under "Community". The "Timeline" tab is directly under the Realms Hub.
    • Players can notify administrators about story posts. This will add the story to the new "Feed Moderation" screen, where administrators can dismiss it, view notifiers, or delete the post.
    • A new "Admin log" tab is under Story Feed, currently empty. It will log community, settings, and world changes for administrators.
  • The "Members" tab is also available under Community and has been updated.
    • It now also shows invited members.
    • The list can now be sorted for administrator roles, player permissions, invite status, and a search box.
    • The owner can now remove and block players from this tab.
      • Inviting players is currently still in the old UI.
  • Some screens are still JSON as there is an ongoing migration of UI screens to Ore UI in this area.
  • The new "Worlds" tab allows to select active worlds and open their edit screens. Saves, currently in the old UI, can also be accessed here.
  • The new "Settings" tab allows to manage the Realm name and description, all previous Realms Stories settings, server region and server closing, and the subscription. Members also have the option to leave the Realm here.
  • In the game menu, players can currently still access the old Realms Stories as well as the old settings UI.
• Added functionality for the "Resource packs" and "Behavior packs" tabs in the new edit world screen.
• Added a Realms Admin role. Owners can grant several administrator permissions to members in the Realms Hub in the "Members" tab.
  • Setting a member to Administrator allows them to:
    • Fully manage worlds.
    • Fully manage Realm settings.
    • Add and remove Realm members.
    • Set player permissions.
    • Manage Hub settings.
    • Manage stories and comments.
  • Setting a member to Administrator does not grant them operator gameplay permissions and disable achievements. Changing member roles and managing the subscription remains exclusive to the owner.

Settings

• Added a setting for closed captions. These were previously only available in options.txt.
• Added several settings for customizing closed captions:
  • "Hide your sounds", which hides sounds caused by the player.
  • "Hide weather and ambient sounds", hides sounds in the ambient/environment category.
  • "Location of closed captions", select to display in the top-right or bottom-right.
  • "Closed caption duration", adjust the time closed captions are shown between 1 and 4 seconds.

Grass block

• Can now create tall grass when fertilized with bone meal.

Torch

• Recipe can now be unlocked by acquiring either a stick, coal, charcoal, or any pickaxe.

Baby mobs

• No longer show green growth particles when being fed if their growth is currently paused (due to using a golden dandelion).
• Baby spawn sounds now play with the correct pitch for pigs, cats, chickens, horses, and wolves.
• Adjusted hitbox size for the following baby mobs:
  • Fox
  • Glow squid
  • Gurgle
  • Hoglin
  • Husk
  • Piglin
  • Squid
  • Villager
  • Zoglin
  • Zombie
  • Zombie villager
  • Zombified piglin

Rabbit

• Idle animation is now disabled while they are leashed.

Graphical

• Improved how scrollable screen content is displayed in Ore UI menu screens on devices with notches, rounded corners, or safe zones applied. Content now smoothly scrolls beneath the safe area instead of being cut off.
• The End flash is now visible on all graphics modes.
• Added MERS textures for all shelf blocks and nautilus armor variants.
• Added/fixed MERS textures for the following blocks and items:
  • Shelf
  • Nautilus armor
  • Ropes texture of happy ghasts
  • Music Disc Lava Chicken
  • Music Disc Tears

World generation

• It is now possible to generate single biome worlds with dripstone caves.
  • It is unknown what this means, since they are still not available in-game and function exactly the same as before when enabled in level.dat.
• minecraft:atmosphere_settings and minecraft:atmosphere_settings/description are now required in the 1.26.20 version of the atmospherics config file.
• Accessing atmospherics graphics overrides through scripting is now done from getBiomeAtmospherics.

Biomes

• Added minecraft:subsurface_builder field to Biome Json API.
  • Sub Surface Builders allow specifying a minecraft:surface_builder to be applied to biomes located underneath the Overworld's terrain surface.
• Added minecraft:noise_gradient sub surface builder type, which places continuous bands of blocks according to a noise distribution.
  • This surface builder has the following parameters:
    • non_replaceable_blocks: a list of blocks that the surface builder is not allowed to replace.
      • Leaving this list empty or unspecified will allow the replacement of any block type.
    • gradient_blocks: a list of block names that will be sampled according to a Perlin noise distribution.
      • Specifying minecraft:air-blocks is permitted, and will result in the original block not being replaced, meaning it is possible to adjust the density/intensity of block replacement in the biome using this surface builder type.

Block components

• Released the component minecraft:chest_obstruction from experimental for block format versions 1.26.20 or higher.

Blocks

• The custom block json API has the following changes that will affect loading of block json with format version 1.26.20 and up:
  • General:
    • Namespace constraints have been tweaked but everything permitted before should still be valid.
      • This can affect the identifiers used for the block, states and menu category groups.
  • Block Traits:
    • placement_direction trait, validation change: The rotation offset does not accept a 0.5 tolerance anymore.
      • Input value must be a multiple of 90.0.
      • The value must be in the range 0.0 to 360.0 inclusive.
    • blocks_to_corner_with now requires minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction to be one of the enabled_states for the placement_direction trait.
  • Category:
    • menu_category, validation change: An empty group value is not allowed.
      • The group field can either exist with a non-empty value or not exist at all.
    • category is now a required field, when using menu_category.
  • Components:
    • minecraft:flower_pottable, validation change: It is restricted outside of root components object.
    • minecraft:geometry, validation change: The constraint on the culling_shape identifier is strictly enforced now.
      • When using the minecraft namespace, the only currently available culling shape identifiers are: minecraft:empty or minecraft:unit_cube.
      • When using no namespaces or a custom one, the names must start and end with an alpha-numeric character.
    • minecraft:light_dampening and minecraft:light_emission, validation change: They now strictly enforce the value to be between 0 and 15 inclusive.
    • There is a breaking change to how tags are defined.
      • As of version 1.26.20, tags cannot freely live as top level entities in the components array.
        • They must live inside the minecraft:tags component, which accepts an array of tags of the format:
          • minecraft:tags: ["minecraft:crop", "custom:custom_tag"].
      • The values must have the format <namespace>:<tag_name>.
        • They no longer need to be prefixed with tag:.
• Added content warning for component minecraft:item_visual trying to use texture variations.
  • Variation textures are not supported for this component.
• The minecraft:selection_box component will correctly give an error again when the y is over the 16 limit.
• The trait minecraft:multi_block no longer requires the Upcoming Creator Features experiment.
  • This is unintentional; it's a bug and will be fixed in a hotfix.

Components

• The minecraft:damage_sensor component deals_damage field now supports an additional value:
  • no_but_entity_effects_apply:
    • Damage is not applied to the entity.
    • Knockback and enchantments are applied.
    • The attacker's weapon is used as normal.
    • The entity does not flash red.

DDUI

• Made close buttons client authoritative so that forms close more quickly.
• Added DataDrivenScreenClosedReason to @minecraft/server-ui beta.
• Replaced MessageBoxResult.wasShown with MessageBoxResult.closeReason, which is a DataDrivenScreenClosedReason.
• Changed return type of CustomForm.show(): Promise<boolean> to Promise<DataDrivenScreenClosedReason>.
• Added FormCloseError, PlayerLeftError, and ServerShutdownError to @minecraft/server-ui beta for use with CustomForm and MessageBox.

Entity components

• The behavior of the minecraft:friction_modifier component now matches its description.
  • The higher its value, the more friction affects an entity:
    • 0.0 means no friction.
    • 1.0 means regular friction.
    • 2.0 means double friction.
  • The component now affects ground friction only, and no longer partially affects air or liquid drag.
  • The legacy incorrect behavior can be re-enabled by adding the minecraft:uses_legacy_friction component.
    • This component is automatically added to all entities with a format version lower than 1.26.20, to ensure their behavior stays unaltered.
  • The component now properly works on players, and on other client-predicted entities.
• Added the minecraft:uses_uniform_air_drag component.
  • When present, air drag is applied uniformly on both the vertical and horizontal axes, instead of being biased toward horizontal movement.
• Added the minecraft:on_equipment_changed component, which allows executing entity events when items are equipped or unequipped in specific equipment slots.
  • Contains a slots field with a list of entries, each with:
    • slot, the equipment slot to monitor.
    • on_equip, event to fire when a non-empty item is placed in the slot.
    • on_unequip, event to fire when the slot is cleared.
  • When equipment changes, the first matching slot entry is used.
• Added the minecraft:spawn_on_death component for spawning entities when an entity perishes.
  • entity_to_spawn: What entity to spawn, defaults to owning entity when not set.
  • spawn_method: Spawn method. born, spawned, or summoned, defaults to spawned when not set.
  • spawn_amount: How many entities to spawn, defaults to 1 when not set.
  • inherit_parent_name: If true, the entity will inherit the name of the parent entity, defaults to true when not set.
  • additional_spawn_range: Additional random range of entities to spawn, defaults to 0 when not set.
• Added the minecraft:bounciness component, which controls how an entity bounces when colliding with surfaces.
  • Contains a single field, value, defining the bounce strength:
    • 0 results in no bounce.
    • 1 results in a perfectly elastic collision with full energy preservation.
  • If the component is not present, bounciness defaults to 0.
  • Only available if the entity's format_version is set to beta.
• Added the minecraft:apply_knockback_rules component, which controls how an entity applies knockback to a target.
  • horizontal_power defines how much the target is hit backwards.
    • Defaults to 1.0 if not defined.
  • vertical_power defines how much the target is hit upwards.
    • Defaults to 0.4 if not defined.
  • vertical_velocity_cap defines the target's maximum vertical upwards velocity after the target's knockback rules have been evaluated.
    • Defaults to 0.4 if not defined.
  • check_if_target_is_immersed_in_water defines whether the target should be fully immersed in water for the knockback rules to apply.
    • Defaults to false if not defined.
• Added the minecraft:air_drag_modifier component.
  • The higher its value, the more air drag affects an entity:
    • 0.0 means no air drag.
    • 1.0 means regular air drag.
    • 2.0 means double air drag.
  • Only available if the entity's format_version is set to beta.
• The minecraft:knockback_resistance component now accepts negative values down to a minimum of -2, resulting in knockback being increased instead of being diminished.
• The component minecraft:apply_knockback_rules now takes an array of presets.
  • presets is an array of elements with the same parameters as minecraft:apply_knockback_rules had previously.
• The preset elements have the following new field:
  • filter is an actor filter with the default syntax.
• Added the filters parameter to minecraft:spawn_on_death.

Entity filters

• Added the has_same_equipment_in_slot_as entity filter.

Features

• Added a boolean rotate_around_center field to the minecraft:structure_template_feature feature.
  • When set to true, it rotates the structure around its center when placing it in the world.
  • Defaults to false if omitted.
• Refactored minecraft:behavior.follow_target_captain to minecraft:behavior.follow_target_leader. The following fields have been added to the behavior:
  • always_look_for_leader: If true, the mob will always search for a valid leader to follow if none is found or current leader is not valid anymore.
  • leader_filters: The filters to use when determining if a mob is a suitable leader or not.
  • search_cooldown: (default: 20) Number of ticks that must pass before a new search is initiated after a target is not found, lost, or becomes invalid.

• Modified the binary format of PlayerEnchantOptionsPacket.
• Added the bool Filter Profanity Change to the Packet UpdateClientOptionsPacket.

Scripting

• Added the CustomTexture type to beta.
  • textureBoundsList in the WaypointTextureSelector now has the option of passing in a CustomTexture with a specified path, height, and width.

Stability and Performance

• Improved sign-in speed on most platforms by triggering authentication earlier during game startup.

World generation

• Can now use minecraft:feature_pool_element in jigsaw structure template pools in order to place features.
• features can now connect to a Jigsaw block with any target name, rather than only minecraft:bottom.

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Beta APIs", "Upcoming Creator Features", "Experimental Voxel Shape Features", the new "Drop 2 of 2026", and "Experimental Custom Projectile Features" experimental toggles.

Potent sulfur

• A variant of sulfur that emits bubbles when placed underwater. It also produces a cluster of noxious gas particles in the water's surface.
• Players and mobs get Nausea when they enter water that is near and directly or indirectly connected to the block.

Sulfur cube spawn egg

• Used to spawn a sulfur cube.

👁 Image
Bucket of sulfur cube

• Obtained by using a bucket on a sulfur cube.
• When used, spawns a sulfur cube.

👁 Image
Sulfur cube

• A passive slime-like mob that spawns in sulfur caves.
• Immune to fall damage.
• When killed, it will split into 2 small cubes, like other slime-like mobs.
  • Unlike the slime and magma cube, the small versions can grow up into the large version, like how a baby mob works.
• It is attracted to the dropped item form of full blocks. The cube can pick up a block, or a player can use a full block on the cube, causing the cube to absorb it into its body.
  • 👁 Image
    In this state, they become immobile and cannot be damaged by most entities. Instead it will be knocked back when attacked.
    • The knockback also depends on the damage that would have been dealt, with stronger attacks sending the cube further.
  • Shearing it removes and drops the block, reverting back to normal.
  • Depending on the full block, they will behave differently when punched while in its immobile state, examples are:
    • Blocks of iron make it heavy, i.e. it will have higher gravity.
    • Wool makes it floaty, i.e. it will have lower gravity.
    • Wooden logs and stems make it bouncy.
    • Ice reduces its friction, making it slide more.
• Can be caught in buckets to move it.

Items

• Added tags for sulfur cubes to make use of for physics determination and absorbing
  • minecraft:sulfur_cube_archetype_bouncy
  • minecraft:sulfur_cube_archetype_regular

Entities

• Added a new entity_version description field to entity behavior definitions that enables per-entity versioning and upgrade handling.
  • The entity_version field is a JSON object containing an upgrades array, where each entry specifies an integer upgrade_to version and a name string referencing an upgrade handler defined in a new top-level upgrades section of the entity definition.
  • Upgrade versions must start at 1 and be contiguous. Gaps or duplicates are rejected with a content error.
  • Version 0 is reserved for entities that have no version set ("versionless"), which is the default for all existing entities.
  • When an entity is loaded with a version older than the current definition version, all upgrade handlers between the entity's saved version and the current version are executed sequentially
  • Newly spawned entities are set directly to the latest version without running any upgrade handlers.
  • Upgrade handlers reuse the existing event system but are defined in a separate upgrades section, keeping them distinct from regular events.
  • The entity's version is persisted and loaded/saved automatically.

Entity components

  • vertical_hit_angle_scale scales the vertical angle response of the target when hit based on the attacker's aim direction.
  • vertical_position_angle_scale scales the vertical angle response of the target when hit based on the attacker's relative feet position.
  • scale_with_damage enables scaling the magnitude of knocback based on the inverse square of the damage.

Scripting

• Added scripting method that allows creators to check the snow logging behavior of a block.

Voxel Shapes

• Added non-unit-cube voxel shapes for 89 blocks when the Voxel Shapes experiment is enabled.
  • These shapes improve face culling so that hidden faces between adjacent blocks are correctly removed.
    • Slab shapes (62 blocks)
    • Other shapes (8 blocks): calibrated sculk sensor, end portal frame, comparator (powered and unpowered), repeater (powered and unpowered), snow, and stonecutter.
