Beta 26.50.22 (ChromeOS, Android) or Preview 26.50.22 (Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Xbox, PlayStation) is the second beta/Preview for Bedrock Edition 26.50, released on July 25, 2026, for iOS and iPadOS, and on July 28, 2026, for all remaining devices, which fixes bugs.

Changes

Blocks

Poplar leaves

• No longer show black pixels while held in hand on Simple graphics with Fancy Leaves enabled.

Shelf mushroom

• Are now immediately destroyed when lava flows into them.

Mobs

Bat

• Now spawns in all Overworld biomes except the deep dark, and in groups of 8 like the Java Edition as long as the light level is low enough.

Monsters

• Armor stands and drowned are now harder for mobs to detect while invisible.

World generation

Abandoned camp

• Modified existing abandoned camps and added more campsites.

General

Experiments

• Removed the "Drop 3 of 2026" experiment and implemented all features in vanilla gameplay.

Graphical

• "Automatic" upscaling quality now defaults to native resolution when using the Custom graphics preset.

Realms

• Introduced a localized loading spinner to replace the play button on the Realms tab when the client is fetching additional information from services, and a reload button that player can use to reload the tab should the fetch fails.

UI

• Text strings on world tile buttons across My World, My Templates, and Servers menus are no longer truncated by ellipses.
• Screenshots can now be set as world thumbnails without triggering an assertion.
• Trusted servers no longer prompt players for confirmation after restarting the client.
• Updated the Adjust brightness screen in the video settings with Ore UI.
• Added an empty-state message for the Marketplace Wishlist with a Browse Marketplace call to action.
• Ported in Ore UI the deletion modal used by the Storage list.

Technical

AI Components

• Made schema for the minecraft:tamemount component stricter when parsing and will fail to load an entity json that has invalid data in versions 1.26.50 and newer.

AI Goals

• Added in_range_movement_mode to minecraft:behavior.ranged_attack for format versions 1.26.50 and newer.
  • hold_position makes the entity hold its position while within attack range.
  • follow_target makes the entity continue moving toward its target while within attack range.
• Actor goal minecraft:behavior.ranged_attack now takes a float range for attack_range instead of attack_radius_min and attack_radius for format versions 1.26.50 and newer.

API

• Released the class EntityStartSneakingAfterEvent from beta to v2.10.0.
• Released the class EntityStartSneakingAfterEventSignal from beta to v2.10.0.
• Released the class EntityStopSneakingAfterEvent from beta to v2.10.0.
• Released the class EntityStopSneakingAfterEventSignal from beta to v2.10.0.
• Released the interface EntitySneakingChangedEventOptions from beta to v2.10.0.
• Released the property WorldAfterEvents.entityStartSneaking from beta to v2.10.0.
• Released the property WorldAfterEvents.entityStopSneaking from beta to v2.10.0.
• Released Player.fogSettings from beta to v2.10.0.
• Released the class FogSettings from beta to v2.10.0.
• Released the class FogSettingsError from beta to v2.10.0.
• Released the class BlockDynamicPropertiesComponent from beta to v2.10.0.
• Released the class ItemBlockDynamicPropertiesComponent from beta to v2.10.0.

Blocks

• Fences:
  • Vanilla 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. Changing a fence's connections now sends block updates to neighboring blocks in worlds using version 1.26.50 and later.
• Stairs
  • Vanilla stair 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.
  • For new worlds (base game version 1.26.40 and later), stair corner-state changes now trigger neighbor block updates for parity with Java Edition; existing worlds keep the prior client-only update behavior.

Camera

• Camera presets that inherit from minecraft:follow_orbit no longer reset the player's rotation the first time they are applied, for presets using format version 1.26.50 or later.

DDUI

• Released CustomForm.image and ImageOptions to version 2.2.0 of @minecraft/server-ui.

Entity components

• Immunity to the freezing from powder snow is no longer hardcoded at runtime and is instead defined by the minecraft:freezing_immune component.
  • The following mobs will be upgraded to automatically have this component:
    • minecraft:creaking
    • minecraft:ender_dragon
    • minecraft:polar_bear
    • minecraft:skeleton
    • minecraft:snow_golem
    • minecraft:stray
    • minecraft:wither
  • All non-mob entities are implicitly immune.
• The ambient sounds of entities are no longer redefined at runtime and instead respect the conditions defined by minecraft:ambient_sound_interval.
  • Previously the ambient sound event name of an entity would be overwritten in these conditions:
    • If its head was in water then it would become ambient.in.water.
    • If it was not on the ground then it would become ambient.in.air.
    • If it would otherwise play ambient sounds and it was a baby then it would become ambient.baby.
  • If any of these conditions were true then it would override any user-defined entry in the event_names parameter of minecraft:ambient_sound_interval.
  • Now this will no longer happen and only the event name specified by minecraft:ambient_sound_interval will be used.
  • Entities defined in any older version will fall back to the original overriding path as a minecraft:uses_legacy_ambient_sounds component will be added.
  • The minecraft:uses_legacy_ambient_sounds is deprecated as users should now specify the indended behavior in minecraft:ambient_sound_interval.
• Deprecated minecraft:projectile's owner_launch_immunity_ticks field in favor of a spatial check that determines when the projectile has left its shooter's vehicle hierarchy.
  • Projectiles can now only hit the entity that shot them, or entities in the same vehicle hierarchy (such as the shooter's mount), after they have spatially left that hierarchy.

Features

• A new value, wall, to the field surface has been added to the schema of snap_to_surface_feature, which allows the feature to be snapped to walls as well as ceilings and floors.
• A new field allow_non_air_placement has been added to the schema of snap_to_surface_feature, which allows specifying whether the snapped feature can be snapped through solid blocks.
  • If the snap is started inside a block that is not water or air, this field decides if the feature can snap out of it.
• Renamed the field vertical_search_range to search_range in the schema for snap_to_surface_feature.

Loot tables

• Added the optional operator field to all loot table conditions, allowing control of whether the condition's result is used directly or negated.
  • == and equals apply when the condition evaluates to true.
  • != and not apply when the condition evaluates to false.
  • Omitting operator preserves the existing behavior and is equivalent to using ==.

Mobs

• Many mob properties are no longer saved if their values are the default.

Molang

• Added new query query.head_is_in_water which checks if the head of the entity is in water.

Script Debugger

• Added the script-debugger-listen-address server property; script debugger listen mode now binds to loopback by default, and non-loopback listen addresses require a configured passcode.

Experimental

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Beta APIs" experimental toggle.

Changes

Technical

API

• Changed the following beta APIs in @minecraft/server-admin:
  • Changed arguments for AllowList.add() take an AllowListEntryNameInfo and boolean to allow this player to ignore player limits when joining the server.
  • Changed arguments for AllowList.contains() to take an AllowListEntryNameInfo.
  • Changed arguments for AllowList.remove() to take an AllowListEntryNameInfo.
  • Added property ignoresPlayerLimit to AllowListEntry.

• ChatSendBeforeEvent:
  • The targets property can now be modified to control which players receive the chat message.
