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!
