Introduced with an emphasis on adventure at Minecraft Live TwitchCon 2026, Minecraft 26.3 is set to be the fall game drop, packed full of new content that encourages players to get out and explore. So, today, we explore the Minecraft 26.3 update, including the potential Minecraft 26.3 release date, patch notes, and highlights of what’s to come.

Minecraft 26.3 Release Date

Minecraft 26.3 does not yet have an official release date. However, an estimation based on previous fall updates is late September to mid-October. Any later would be cutting into the time they need to develop and release the winter game drop which they tend to have out before the holidays. As for snapshots, one for 26.3 has been released so far. Both dappled forests and abandoned camps are available for testing within it.

Update Highlights

Dappled Forests

• Location: Overworld

Dappled Forests are a brand-new cold biome of unending fall, inspired by the autumn forests of Michigan. Inside, players can find poplar trees that have three separate possibilities for leaves, including red, yellow, and orange alongside orange grass, fallen trees with shelf mushrooms, red shrubs, leaf litter, and brown mushrooms. Poplar trees also come complete with a full warm grey wood set.

Abandoned Camps

• Location: Overworld

The abandoned camp is a small overworld structure that, as of writing, appears to be able to generate as part of any land biome. It always contains a tent made of wool stairs, barrels or chests for loot, a copper lantern, and a campfire. Other features, such as small farms, are also possible but they still remain largely unknown. Once the snapshot releases, we will hopefully learn more!

Cushions

• Recipe: Wool Slabs x3

Functional seating has arrived! When a placed cushion is right-clicked, it is “mounted” in the same way players would mount a saddled horse or pig. While sitting on a cushion, you can look around, interact with nearby blocks and items, and both take damage from and deal damage to mobs. Once ready to move again, the SHIFT key is used to get up.

How to Install Minecraft 26.3 Snapshots

As of July 7, 2026, snapshot 3 is the latest available for 26.3, and it can be installed right from right inside the Minecraft client. Below, we have detailed every step needed:

1. Open the Minecraft Launcher and select Java Edition.
2. Enable snapshots under the ‘Installations’ tab.
3. If a new installation called “Latest Snapshot,” represented by a dirt block, is now present, that can be used immediately to start playing. Otherwise, proceed with step four.
4. Click ‘New Installation’
5. Select ‘Latest Snapshot’ in the drop-down menu.
6. Click ‘Install.’

With these steps complete, the new snapshot installation will be available for use and update automatically. Happy travels! New releases can corrupt old worlds! Ensure backups have been taken.

All Snapshot Patch Notes (So Far!)

Minecraft 26.3 Snapshot 3

New Features

• Added Cushion
• Added Straw Bed
• Added Gothic language support to the game

Cushion

• The Cushion is an item that the player can place in the world and interact with to sit on
• Can be crafted in 16 colored variants
• Cushions are crafted using 3 Wool Slabs of the same color

Cushion Placement Rules

• A Cushion can be placed on any flat surface
• Cushions always align horizontally to the grid, but vertically sit on top of the supporting surface
• Cushions cannot move
• Cushions break if the supporting block is removed
• Cushions do not have collision and can overlap with other objects (except other Cushions)

Straw Bed

• The Straw Bed is a new type of Bed which can be used to sleep through the night without setting your spawnpoint
• It can only be used once and will be destroyed after use
• It cannot be used in the Nether or The End and will be destroyed if you try to sleep on it there
• It is crafted using 3 Hay Bales and will give you 4 Straw Beds
• There's a new statistic in the Statistics window for amount of times slept in a Straw Bed

Technical Changes

• The Data Pack version is now 110.0
• The Resource Pack version is now 91.0

Data Pack Version 110.0

Commands Added posteffect

• Allows adding or removing "post effects" to players
• These are postprocessing shaders that are applied to the player's screen, after the game has finished normal rendering
• Post effects exist on the client (in resource packs), not the server – the server cannot know if one will actually apply
• Post effects themselves were already part of the resource pack format, but only a few hardcoded ones were available to use

Developer's Note: This now makes custom shaders fully available to use from resource packs, but please be aware that shaders are still subject to be changed at-will, and the features involved (the command, post effects, or shaders) may be redesigned in the future. Syntax:

• /posteffect add <player> <posteffect> - adds the post effect to the player, if it doesn't already exist
• /posteffect clear <player> - removes all post effects from the player, if any exist
• /posteffect list <target> - lists all post effects applied to the player, if any exist
• /posteffect remove <player> <posteffect> - removes the post effect from the player, if it exists

Changes to place

• The feature sub-command now allows in-line definition of the Feature

Environment Attributes Changed minecraft:gameplay/bed_rule

• Field explodes has been renamed to destroy_on_use
• Added destroy_on_leave - optional boolean, if true, the Bed will be destroyed when leaving it
  • If omitted, defaults to false

Added minecraft:gameplay/straw_bed_rule

• Same format as minecraft:gameplay/bed_rule, but used for the Straw Bed

Data Components Updated minecraft:block_transformer

• Added optional boolean field update_from_neighbors. This controls if the transformed block should update based on neighboring blocks
  • Defaults to true

Added minecraft:compostable

• Represents the ability to compost an item and how it adds layers to the composter
• Format: object with fields
  • layers - namespaced ID pointing to an element of the minecraft:number_provider registry

Loot Tables

• Multiple block loot tables now reference predicates for checking if a tool has Silk Touch and is Shears instead of inlining a copy of those checks

Predicates Added vanilla predicates New entries added to previously empty minecraft:predicate:

• minecraft:tool/can_silk_touch
• minecraft:tool/can_shear

Potion Predicates The minecraft:potion_contents Data Component Predicate has been changed to allow matching on specific potion effects. The previous predicate format used a list of potion types, the new format allows for more refined matching. The following fields can be used in any combination, all are optional:

• potions - A list of potion types or a potion tag to match
• effects - A Collection Predicate of mob_effects predicates to match
  • The Collection Predicate format is as follows:
  • contains - A list of mob_effects predicates to match
  • count - A list of options for matching a specific number of mob effect predicates, which follow the same format as minecraft:effects entity sub-predicate`
    • test - The mob_effects predicate to match
    • count - The number of matches required, or with min and max will match a range of counts
  • size - Require the mob effects list to have a specific size, or with min and max will match a range of sizes

The mob_effects predicate format is a mapping of effect types to properties of that effect. All fields are optional, only provided fields will be used for matching: { "minecraft: <effect type>": { "duration": <integer bounds representing a duration in ticks>, "amplifier": <integer bounds>, "ambient: true/false, "visible": true/false } ) Here is an example of matching on several different effects and criteria: "effects": { "minecraft:jump_boost": { "duration": 3600, "amplifier": 5, "ambient: true, "visible": true }, "minecraft:speed": { "duration": { "min": 360, "max": "3600 }, "amplifier: { "min": 2 } }, "minecraft:resistance": {} } All criteria are optional. Number Providers

• Added a minecraft:number_provider registry

Added vanilla number providers

• minecraft:compostable/low
  • returns 1 if the minecraft:block_state context parameter is an empty composter, otherwise has a 30% chance of returning 1
• minecraft:compostable/low_medium
  • returns 1 if the minecraft:block_state context parameter is an empty composter, otherwise has a 50% chance of returning 1
• minecraft:compostable/medium
  • returns 1 if the minecraft:block_state context parameter is an empty composter, otherwise has a 65% chance of returning 1
• minecraft:compostable/medium_high
  • returns 1 if the minecraft:block_state context parameter is an empty composter, otherwise has a 85% chance of returning 1
• minecraft:compostable/always_add_one
  • always returns 1

Added minecraft:number_dispatcher type

  • default - an optional minecraft:number_provider
    • Defaults to a constant 0 if omitted

Added minecraft:conditional_value type

• Returns the value from on_true if its condition or on_false if not
• Fields:
  • conditions - a minecraft:predicate
  • on_true - a minecraft:number_provider which is executed if its condition is fulfilled
  • on_false - an optional minecraft:number_provider
    • Defaults to a constant 0 if omitted

Added minecraft:weighted_list

• Returns a value from a distribution of weighted number providers
• Fields:
  • distribution - a list of objects with the following fields
    • Fields:
      • data - a minecraft:number_provider
      • weight - a positive integer

Recipes Potion Brewing Recipes Potion brewing recipes are now data-driven. New recipes can be added via datapacks, and vanilla recipes may be modified. Brewing recipes use the minecraft:brewing type. The main contents are:

• input - A potion ingredient with a required item field and an optional potion_contents field using a minecraft:potion_contents Data Component Predicate
• reagent - A potion ingredient with a required item field and an optional potion_contents field using a minecraft:potion_contents Data Component Predicate
• output - item stack, the resulting item

Here is an example of a vanilla recipe: { "type": "minecraft:brewing", "input": { "item": "minecraft:potion", "potion_contents": { "potion": "minecraft:water" } }, "output": { "components": { "minecraft:potion_contents": { "potion": "minecraft:awkward" } }, "id": "minecraft:potion" }, "reagent": { "item": "minecraft:nether_wart" } } Any items may be used in any of the 3 slots, for example: { "type": "minecraft:brewing", "input": { "item": "minecraft:bucket" }, "output": { "id": "minecraft:sulfur_cube_bucket" }, "reagent": { "item": "minecraft:potent_sulfur" } } World Generation Features

• Removed feature types:
  • minecraft:coral_mushroom

• include_interior: Optional boolean (default true) for whether to place interior blocks of the cuboid
• include_edges: Optional boolean (default true) for whether to place edge blocks of the cuboid
  • Setting this to false generates a somewhat "rounded" cuboid

Added minecraft:random_chance Gates the feature being placed behind a random chance. Format:

• chance: Float value between 0 and 1 representing the chance that the feature gets placed

Block State Providers Updated minecraft:copy_properties_provider

• Renamed field source_block_state_provider to source

Added minecraft:random_block_provider Returns the default block state for a randomly chosen block. Format:

• This checks a list of Rule Tests for whether any of them returns true for the same block
• Format: object with fields:
  • rules - list of Rule Tests, the rules to test the block against

Added minecraft:not

  • When set, this overrides directional shading for the element regardless of face orientation
• Removed shade from block model elements
  • Use shade_direction_override: "up" to get the previous shade: false behavior

Shaders & Post-process Effects Always-on Post Effect Support

• A resource pack can now define a minecraft:end_of_frame post effect
• It will be applied before other post effects, including the ones enabled by the new posteffect command
• This post effect is always on as long as the resource pack is loaded, and cannot be controlled by the posteffect command
• As usual with resource pack resources, in case of multiple packs defining this effect, the one from the last resource pack in the list will apply

Minecraft 26.3 Snapshot 2

Known Issues

• When using Vulkan on Mac the world will not render, instead showing a pink screen
• The lighting on entities is not correct, rendering e.g. the top side too dark

Changes

• Persistent mobs' random walk/swim behaviors will now deactivate when players are not nearby, in the same way as non-persistent mobs
• Replaced current "Improved Transparency" approach with a new order-independent transparency algorithm which is expected to be much better at solving translucency issues
• When using a Shield together with a Hoe or a Shovel, raising the Shield will take precedence over tilling and pathmaking

Minor Tweaks to Blocks, Items and Entities

• Drowned with Tridents will now use a melee attack if the player is within 3 blocks of them

Order-independent transparency (OIT)

• Generally, translucent surfaces need to be rendered back-to-front to avoid visual issues
  • In order to do so, the translucent geometry has to be sorted before rendering
  • This is very expensive and even with perfect sorting of individual triangles, intersecting triangles are not possible to render correctly
• Before this snapshot, the "Improved Transparency" video setting attempted to mitigate translucency-related visual issues
  • It did this by rendering different types of translucent objects (entities, particles, water, etc.) to different textures that were later combined to create the final image
  • This allowed us to fix some of the issues with some performance impact
  • However, it introduced some other less noticeable issues
• The "Improved Transparency" video setting will now instead enable a new order-independent transparency algorithm (which we will refer to as OIT)
  • This makes it possible to render translucent objects in any order without sorting
  • It fixes all existing major translucency-related visual issues (such as certain objects disappearing when viewed through translucent objects)
  • However, the algorithm is an approximation, and so it introduces some new minor visual artifacts (such as the color of clouds being somewhat incorrect when viewed through multiple layers of translucent surfaces)
• We expect OIT to have a higher performance impact than the previous implementation of "Improved Transparency"
• When "Improved Transparency" is turned off, the behavior hasn't meaningfully changed and the game will still prioritize performance over correctness while sorting geometry as necessary

Developer's Note: Special thanks to Rubén Osorio López, Jozufozu, and the Minecraft modding community in general for sharing the information that helped us to deliver this.

Noise Settings Spawn Target The spawn_target field has been updated to allow use of any Density Function, instead of just a subset of those defined within the noise_router field. The suitability of a candidate spawn position is determined by evaluating, in some arbitrary n-dimensional space, the squared Euclidean distance to a set of target hypercubes. For example, one axis might be temperature and the second erosion - and suitability determined by distance to the square between temperature=0.1, erosion=0.2 and temperature=0.3, erosion=0.5. This would prefer any candidate spawn within those ranges equally, while penalizing candidate spawns very far out of that range. Format: list of target hypercubes

• Target format: map between Density Function ID and a range on that axis:

Shaders & Post-process Effects Developer's Note: Although it is possible in Resource Packs, overriding Core Shaders is considered as unsupported and not an intended Resource Pack feature. These shaders exist as part of the internal implementation of the game, and as such, may change at any time as the game's internals evolve. We understand that overriding Core Shaders is used for very cool Resource Pack features, many of which lack supported alternatives. We would like to provide better, supported alternatives in the future. Order-independent Transparency (OIT)-related Shader Changes

    • OIT_TRANSMITTANCE - A boolean indicating if the transmittance pass is being executed
    • OIT_ACCUMULATE - A boolean indicating if the accumulate pass is being executed
    • OIT_ALPHA_ONLY - A boolean indicating if either the depth bounds or transmittance pass is being executed
    • OIT_ADDITIVE - A boolean indicating that the OIT algorithm should emulate additive blending for the executing pipeline
    • OIT_OPAQUE_PARTS_THRESHOLD - A float determining above which alpha threshold a fragment should be considered solid and not go through OIT
    • WAVELET_RANK - An integer internal to the OIT algorithm
    • COEFF_COUNT - An integer internal to the OIT algorithm
    • COEFF_ATTACHMENT_COUNT - An integer internal to the OIT algorithm
    • B3D_IS_ZERO_TO_ONE - A boolean indicating if the current rendering backend uses the depth range of [0, 1], it is available globally to all shaders independently of the OIT setting

  • When more than a single entity is targeted, the slots sourced from each are concatenated
• Added new fill and override sub-commands, each with syntax identical to /item replace
  • /item fill
    • Fills each destination slot with a source item
    • When there are more destination slots than there are source items, the items repeat until every slot is filled
      • Example: fill [12345] with (ABC) -> [ABCAB]
  • /item override
    • Overrides the contents of each destination slot with the corresponding source item
    • When there are more destination slots than there are source items, the remaining slots are cleared
      • Example: override [12345] with (ABC) -> [ABC__] (where _ represents an empty slot)

Changes to execute

Material Rule Registry A new data-driven registry has been introduced, loaded from data/<namespace>/worldgen/material_rule/<id>.json. Elements in this registry define a pipeline for selecting what base block to place in the world at a given position. The format is identical to that which was formerly written in the surface_rule field within Noise Settings files, with the following extensions:

• Material Rules can now be specified either inline (as previously), or as an ID reference to an element in the worldgen/material_rule registry

How to make Minecraft 26.3 Servers

Exploring dappled forests is more fun with friends! Minecraft 26.3 servers can be created for free through home hosting, but we recommend paid hosting options for ease of use and performance. Especially with snapshots, as they can be buggy! Paid hosting with day one Minecraft 26.3 installs is offered here at BisectHosting and many other places around the web. In either case, no less than 4GB of server RAM is recommended.
