Blocks
- Added
shelf as an item_display_transforms offsets value inside geo.json.
- This is to give the offsets when placed inside a shelf.
- Pre 1.26.40 blocks with a
fixed value will have that value copied to shelf.
- New 1.26.40 blocks will be able to define
fixed for item frames and self for shelves.
- Released
minecraft:multi_block trait.
- The field
direction horizontal directions will still require the Upcoming Creator Features experiment.
- Custom stairs can now form corners with vanilla stairs outside of beta.
Block components
- Fences:
- Fence blocks now expose per-direction connection block states (
minecraft:connection_north, minecraft:connection_east, minecraft:connection_south, minecraft:connection_west) reflecting which neighbors the fence connects to.
- Fence connection changes now send server-side block updates to adjacent blocks. Older worlds keep legacy behavior for compatibility.
- Vanilla blocks defined with shapes in the
shapes/ folder now use voxel-shape based culling without requiring the Voxel Shapes experiment.
- This allows custom blocks using voxel-shapes to attempt to cull against any vanilla block with a voxel-shape.
- Vanilla stairs blocks now expose a
minecraft:corner block state (none, inner_left, inner_right, outer_left, outer_right) reflecting the corner shape formed with adjacent stairs.
- Stair corner-state changes now trigger neighboring blocks to update for parity with Java Edition. Older worlds keep legacy behavior for compatibility.
Commands
- Using player names as a target for commands (i.e.
/tell) for non-operator players is now allowed.
DDUI
- Added image method onto
CustomForm in @minecraft/server-ui to allow showing images on CustomForms.
Dedicated Server
- Added CLI options to run the dedicated server in pack optimization mode, allowing creators to optimize packs for testing and distribution inside and outside Marketplace.
Entity components
- Added a new
require_collision_overlap boolean field to minecraft:pushable_by_entity's presets:
- Determines whether the collision boxes of two entities must overlap for pushing to occur.
- For format versions 1.26.40 and higher, this field defaults to
true.
- For format versions below 1.26.40, this field defaults to
false.
- Made the following changes to the
minecraft:apply_knockback_rules component:
- Renamed
scale_previous_velocity to slowdown_scale.
horizontal_power is no longer scaled by 0.4 internally.
- Similar values for
horizontal_power and vertical_power now produce similar knockback on both axes.
- Deprecated the following fields:
horizontal_hit_angle_scalevertical_hit_angle_scalevertical_position_angle_scale
- Added a new field,
knockback_mode, which provides more intuitive control over how knockback is applied:
relative_horizontal (default): Applies knockback along the horizontal direction from attacker to target.hit_direction: Applies knockback based on the hit direction and point of impact (for example, hits from below push upward, and hits on the left side push to the right).
- The component is no longer in beta.
- Made the following changes to the
impact_damage on_hit subcomponent of minecraft:projectile:
- Added a
ceil_pre_critical_damage boolean field that rounds the projectile's damage up to the next integer before the critical hit multiplier is applied.
power_multiplier is now applied regardless of the difficulty_randomization mode, so it can be used on its own to scale damage by the projectile's velocity.
- The resulting value is added to damage to define the projectile's base damage.
- Its default value changed from
2 to 0 so that prior content remains unchanged when neither field is specified.
- Replaced the
semi_random_diff_damage boolean field with difficulty_randomization, which controls how the world difficulty contributes to the final damage:
none: difficulty is ignored (default).additive: a difficulty-driven term is added to the base damage (matches the previous behavior when semi_random_diff_damage was true).multiplicative: a difficulty-driven term is added to power_multiplier before it scales by the projectile's velocity.
- Added the
minecraft:not_pickable_from_inside entity component.
- When set, the entity cannot be targeted by a cursor hit-test while the picker's point of view lies inside the entity's collision box.
Features
- Added content error when loading features with identifiers that already exist within the same behavior pack.
Graphical
- Optimized FrameGraph topological sorting algorithm by replacing DFS-based approach with Kahn's algorithm for improved performance and clarity.
Item components
- Item component
minecraft:wearable setting slot field to slot.armor.body will not cause assert.
- Updated item schema validation so
minecraft:item.components now requires at least one component entry for item documents in v1_26_30 and beta.
Items
- Items declared with a
format_version of 1.26.30 or higher now require at least one entry under minecraft:item.components. Previously such items would silently fall back to legacy item parsing; they now fail to register with a content error.
- Custom item definitions in resource packs now reliably override their Vanilla counterparts:
- A custom definition using an older
format_version will now be applied on top of a Vanilla item that ships with format_version 1.16+ (previously the custom data was silently dropped). In Vanilla this only affects minecraft:apple and minecraft:breeze_rod.
Sound events
- Renamed all non-existent sound events to
missing.legacyref.
- This affects the following non-existent events incorrectly referenced in
sounds.json:
use.azeleause.azelea_leavesuse.big_dripleafblock.dried_ghast.hituse.anviluse.powder_snowfall.suspicious_gravelfall.suspicious_sandmob.cow.deathmob.irongolem.saymob.attackmob.piglin.attackmob.zombie.converted_to_drownednearby_close.wardennearby_closer.wardennearby_closest.wardenfall.ladderland.ladderjump.lantern
These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Beta APIs", "Upcoming Creator Features", "Experimental Voxel Shape Features", and new "Drop 3 of 2026" experimental toggles.

Add-ons
- Improved the experimental JSON document upgrader:
- Configuration parsing errors are now surfaced through the upgrader's error logging. Errors that abort an upgrade are recorded in the error log, and files found outside of a pack are ignored instead of failing the run.
API
- Added a new loot function
CarryOverBlockEntityDataFunction with a single boolean field dynamic_properties behind beta.
- Added
ItemBlockDynamicPropertiesComponent item component behind beta.

SoundInstance in beta now exposes a soundEventId property that reports the sound event the instance was started with.SoundInstance in beta now exposes a recipient property that returns the Player the sound was played for, or undefined for broadcast sounds.SoundInstance in beta now exposes a durationInfo property that returns a SoundDurationInfo when the underlying sound definition includes duration information, otherwise undefined.- Added
SoundDurationInfo in beta with a duration property, an isActive property, and a getPlaybackPosition() getter that returns the elapsed playback time in seconds.
SoundInstance now exposes an id property that returns a unique identifier for the instance.WorldAfterEvents in beta now exposes a soundCompleted signal with a soundInstanceId property that matches the id of the SoundInstance that completed that fires when a tracked sound's declared duration elapses.- Added API for
minecraft:instrument_sound component.
- It has a
getInstrumentName function to get the assigned instrument given a valid facing direction.
- It has a
playInstrumentSound function to play the instrument sound assinged to a given valid facing direction.
- The component can be obtained from any block; if a block does not have the component explicitly defined, then a component with the default sounds will be returned.
- Changed property name
playfabId on Player class to persistentId in @minecraft/server in beta.
- Added the property
splitScreenSlot to @minecraft/server-admin's AsyncPlayerJoinBeforeEvent in beta.

SoundDefinitionFilter interface to beta with optional minDuration and maxDuration properties.
- Added the
SoundDefinitionRegistry class to beta with a getDefinitions method that returns the loaded sound definitions, optionally narrowed by a filter.
- Added the
World.soundDefinitionRegistry property to beta that provides read-only access to the sound definitions loaded for the world.
Player.playSound now accepts a SoundDefinition in addition to a sound id string in beta.- The
minecraft:server_sound_definitions payload in sounds/sound_definitions.json now accepts an optional music_info block on each definition with optional genres (array of strings), moods (array of strings), artist (string), and title (string) fields that describe the music content of the sound.
- The
minecraft:server_sound_definitions payload now accepts an optional tags map on each definition where each entry is a tag name mapped to either a single string value or an array of string values, letting behavior packs attach arbitrary metadata to a server sound definition.
- Added new beta
interface SoundDefinitionMusicInfo with optional genres, moods, artist, and title properties describing the music content of a sound definition.
- Added new optional beta
property SoundDefinition.musicInfo exposing the music metadata declared on a server sound definition.
- Added new optional beta
property SoundDefinition.tags exposing the arbitrary tag metadata declared on a server sound definition.
- Added new optional beta properties on
SoundDefinitionFilter for filtering by music metadata and tags: genres, moods, artists, titles, and tags. All comparisons are case-insensitive. An omitted field does not filter; a non-empty array matches when any provided value overlaps the definition's values.
Blocks
- When applying a
minecraft:sixteen_way_rotation value via console command, autocomplete suggestions will now correctly show numbers 0-15. Sixteen-way placement direction block trait now applies its rotation with the same orientation as existing Cardinal Direction and Facing Direction traits.
- Added some trait restrictions for blocks with the
minecraft:multi_block trait:
- Cannot also define the
minecraft:connection trait.
- Cannot also define the
minecraft:placement_position trait.
- If the
minecraft:placement_direction is defined, only the minecraft:cardinal_direction state is allowed to be enabled.
- The component
minecraft:geometry cannot define n_way_visual_rotation for multi-blocks.
- Cannot also define the
minecraft:block_entity component.
- Each pack now has its own 1KBytes block dynamic properties limit instead of being global.
- The storage structure was updated, the saved properties will be lost.
- Block-entity's dynamic-properties are now serialized in a readable NBT format, similar to their item-stack and entity counterparts.
- Block-entity's dynamic-properties stored on an item-stack can now be modified through the new
set method.
- Block dynamic properties are now bucketed by manifest-UUID rather than module-UUID.
- Added support for
y_rotation_offset when using the minecraft:sixteen_way_rotation placement direction block trait.
- Added horizontal
direction support for the minecraft:multi_block trait.
- These new directions
north, south, west, and east still require Upcoming Creator Features experiment to be enabled.
- When placing horizontal multi-blocks, if one or more parts go into an unloaded
LevelChunk, then the placement of all parts is delayed until both LevelChunks are loaded. Delayed placement actions are persistent and saved to Level storage until they are executed.
- If placing the horizontal multi-block in a structure template, then rotating the structure, the block parts will only rotate properly if the multi-block is also defined with the
minecraft:placement_direction trait enabling the minecraft:cardinal_direction state. Otherwise, the multi-block parts will not respect the structures rotation.
DDUI
- Fixed the default behavior for close button bellow DDUI custom forms.
- Default visibility value is
false.
Graphical
- Re-enabled colored block light migration to GPU as well as their influence on volumetric fog.
Items
- Added a new loot function
carry_over_block_entity_data with a single boolean field dynamic_properties defaulted to false.
- When looting a block with a block-entity and dynamic-properties, it will try to carry its dynamic-properties over to the created item-stack.
- Requires "Upcoming Creator Features Experiment".
Jigsaw structures
- A Jigsaw Structure's layout will now be persisted to disk if any intersecting chunks are saved. This makes partially saved Jigsaw Structures less prone to breaking because of configuration changes. The feature will be incrementally rolled out to online devices and Realms.
Sounds
- Added a new
minecraft:server_sound_definitions payload to sounds/sound_definitions.json that lets behavior packs declare server-side sound definitions for sounds played from script.
- Each definition can include an optional duration_info with a seconds length and a mode that controls how playback time is tracked.
- A
mode of game_time means the duration is tracked by ticks.
- A
mode of real_time means the duration is tracked by wall-clock time.
Voxel Shapes
- Added occlusion voxel shapes for one-arm, two-arm, three-arm, four-arm, and full-arm wall connections. These shapes will be applied to all Wall variations when the Voxel Shapes experiment is enabled.
- These shapes improve face culling so that hidden faces of custom blocks are correctly removed when attached to different Wall geometries: single posts, wall runs, corners, T-junctions, intersections, and wall clusters.
