More of the features from the upcoming game drop are ready for testing!

A full set of snow bricks will brighten up any builder’s winter wonderland! Live out your fancy frosty fantasy in a chilly castle or batten down the hatches in a frozen fort. The set includes snow bricks to stairs, and everything in between.

If that wasn’t enough for your cold constructions, create frosted ice blocks by feeding blue ice to a cold sulfur cube. Any water it comes in contact with will freeze into frozen ice blocks. Cool!

Craft frozen paths in your snowy builds, build extreme ice slides, or traverse large bodies of water without a boat! Available now in Bedrock beta and preview and Java snapshot.

Hello Bedrock players! On Oct 27th we are making changes to our networking technology to improve your connection stability, reliably, and security.

What this means for you:
Do you host your own Bedrock Dedicated Server?

No - You don't need to do anything! Your game, friends connections, realms, experiences, and more will update atomically and you will start receiving the benefits immediately.
Yes - When you log in after Oct 27th and update your Bedrock Dedicated Server to version 26.60, you might need to update some of your networking configurations. But don't worry, follow our migration guide and you're be back to exploring in no time!

Migration Guide: Moving your Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server to NetherNet
1. Update your server to the Bedrock Dedicated Server version 26.60 or newer.
2. Open port 19132 for both TCP and UDP. Check your firewall, hosting control panel, and router. If you use port forwarding, forward TCP and UDP port 19132 to the computer running the server.
3. Add your public IP address if needed. If the server is running behind a router, you will need to set your public IP in the server.properties. See the comments for the server-udp-ports property for details.
4. Turn on NetherNet. In server.properties ensure transport is set to nethernet.

We also recommend you set up a reverse HTTP proxy for your server, but it's not required. For details on how to set up a reverse HTTP proxy and other advanced network setups, see the bedrock_server_host_to.html guide included in the Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server download bundle or reach out for help.

Thank you for making Minecraft a safe, secure, and fun experience! Game on!

Bedrock 26.60

• https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft--bedrock-edition-26-60-changelog

  
  Brrrr! Did the temperature just drop? Something drop related is going on, namely the addition of some experimental features from the upcoming game drop! Dive into the ice caves to out the new icicles, ice crystals, and frostbites - if you dare! I don't know if I will, the thought of those frozen foes makes my stomach drop. Don't worry, haven't dropped the ball on our other areas of responsibility! This update also improves the gameplay experience with more than 600+ bug fixes, 89 of which were found thanks to you, the community, dropping us a line about them! Was that intro too drop-focused? No? Yes? Fine, I'll drop it.

And as always, we're keen to get your feedback on these new features at feedback.minecraft.net or the Feedback Discord, and you can report any bugs you find at bugs.mojang.com.

Experimental Game Drops Features

Drop 4 of 2026

Biomes

• The Ice Cave is a new cave biome that generates under the colder biomes in the Overworld. It consists mainly of Packed Ice and Calcite
• Features terrain composed primarily of Packed Ice and Calcite
• Icicles generate hanging from the ceiling
• Large icicles made of Packed Ice generate on the ground and hanging from the ceiling
• Patches of Snow occasionally generates on the ground
• Ores generate embedded in pockets of Stone and Deepslate
• Dirt and Granite do not generate in this biome
• Glow Lichen does not generate in this biome
• In addition to the mobs that normally spawn in caves, Strays and Frostbites can also spawn here
• Ice Crystals occasionally generate on the ground
• Ice Caves appear under biomes with low temperature

Blocks

• Ice Crystals are the only light source found in Ice Caves, as there is no Glow Lichen there. They can generate naturally on top of Packed Ice blocks
• Known issue: Ice Crystals are currently smaller than intended
• Icicles can be found all over the ceiling of ice caves. They generate under blocks of packed ice. If light levels are high enough, there is a chance they will drop and cause damage to anyone or anything unlucky enough to be hit by it

Freezing Mob Effect

• The Freezing Effect will cause players to shake, reduce their jump height, and eventually deal damage
• Causes those affected to slowly become frozen as if in Powdered Snow for its duration
• Leather Armor will keep them from becoming freezing, just like with Powder Snow, but will not keep the effect from being applied and will not remove the effect

Frostbite

• The Frostbite is a zombie variant that can throw ice balls. However, what they really like is to get close to you and use melee attacks that cause the Freezing Effect
• A new Zombie variant
• Spawns in cold/icy biomes
• Switches between melee and ranged combat based on target distance and whether they have Ice Balls; melee attacks apply Freezing, while ranged attacks throw Ice Balls
• Uses Zombie-style melee animations and dedicated Ice Ball throwing animations for both adult and baby variants
• Transforms into a Zombie when underwater for long enough
• Drops Rotten Flesh and Ice Balls
• It can stand on top of Powder Snow
• It is immune to freezing and does not get slowed by the Freezing effect or Powder Snow
• Zombies and Husks now transform into Frostbites when inside Powder Snow

Ice Ball

• Ice balls are the projectile weapon of choice for the Frostbite. They deal a small amount of damage and have knockback
• A new projectile that can be thrown by the Frostbite
• Deals 4 damage to entities it hits, scaling down with velocity
• Breaks on impact with blocks or entities, creating a particle effect and sound

Sounds

• Added custom sounds for Ice block

...And many more!
