'''Beta 26.20.26''' (ChromeOS, Android), or '''Preview 26.20.26''' (Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Xbox, PlayStation), is the fifth beta/''Preview'' for [[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 26.20]], released on April 8, 2026,<ref>{{cite|url=https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44927450403725-Minecraft-Beta-Preview-26-20-26|title=Minecraft Beta & Preview - 26.20.26|website=Minecraft Feedback|date=April 8, 2026}}</ref> which fixes bugs.

== Changes ==
=== General ===
'''[[Minecraft:Realms]]'''
* Added the Admin log feature to the [[Minecraft:Realms Hub]].
** Logs changes performed by Realm administrators, such as settings changes, add-ons, and world management.

=== Technical ===
'''Accounts'''
* Added platform subscription checks as part of multiplayer allowance check and return new platform-subscription-specific permission deny reasons if the check failed.

'''AI Goals'''
* Made the schemas for the following goals stricter when parsing and will fail to load an entity json that has invalid data in versions 1.26.20 and newer:
** {{cd|minecraft:behavior.go_and_give_items_to_noteblock}}
** {{cd|minecraft:behavior.go_and_give_items_to_owner}}
** {{cd|minecraft:behavior.go_home}}
** {{cd|minecraft:behavior.random_hover}}
** {{cd|minecraft:behavior.random_sitting}}
** {{cd|minecraft:behavior.random_stroll}}
* The {{cd|hover_height}} field in {{cd|minecraft:behavior.random_hover}} now only accepts an object with min and max values.

'''[[Minecraft:Block components]]'''
* Released the component {{cd|minecraft:chest_obstruction}} from experimental for block format versions 1.26.20 or higher.

'''Blocks'''
* Added content warning for component {{cd|minecraft:item_visual}} trying to use texture variations.
** Variation textures are not supported for this component.
* The {{cd|minecraft:selection_box}} component will correctly give an error again when the y is over the 16 limit.

'''Entity components'''
* The component {{cd|minecraft:apply_knockback_rules}} now takes an array of presets.
** {{cd|presets}} is an array of elements with the same parameters as {{cd|minecraft:apply_knockback_rules}} had previously.
* The preset elements have the following new field:
** {{cd|filter}} is an actor filter with the default syntax.
* Added the {{cd|filters}} parameter to {{cd|minecraft:spawn_on_death}}.

== Experimental ==
These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Beta APIs", "Upcoming Creator Features", "Render Dragon Features for Creators", "Experimental Voxel Shape Features", and "[[Minecraft:Chaos Cubed|Drop 2 of 2026]]" [[Minecraft:experimental]] toggles.

=== Changes ===
==== Mobs ====
'''[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]'''
* When hit by a player, its knockback is now affected by the attacker's hit angle, position and damage.

==== Technical ====
'''[[Minecraft:API]]'''
* Changed the maximum length of the text param of {{cd|setText}} on {{cd|TextPrimitive}}, to be 128 lines and 128 characters per line.
* Class {{cd|DimensionRegistry}}:
** Added the method {{cd|registerCustomDimension}} to allow registrations of new custom dimensions in {{cd|beta}}.
* Startup event"
** Added the ability to register custom dimensions during the before startup event.

'''DDUI'''
* Added support for multiline texts for {{cd|MessageBox.body}}, {{cd|CustomForm.label}}, and {{cd|CustomForm.header}} using {{cd|\n}}.

'''Entities'''
* Added a new {{cd|entity_version}} description field to entity behavior definitions that enables per-entity versioning and upgrade handling.
** The {{cd|entity_version}} field is a JSON object containing an upgrades array, where each entry specifies an integer {{cd|upgrade_to}} version and a name string referencing an upgrade handler defined in a new top-level upgrades section of the entity definition.
** Upgrade versions must start at {{cd|1}} and be contiguous. Gaps or duplicates are rejected with a content error.
** Version {{cd|0}} is reserved for entities that have no version set ("versionless"), which is the default for all existing entities.
** When an entity is loaded with a version older than the current definition version, all upgrade handlers between the entity's saved version and the current version are executed sequentially
** Newly spawned entities are set directly to the latest version without running any upgrade handlers.
** Upgrade handlers reuse the existing event system but are defined in a separate upgrades section, keeping them distinct from regular events.
** The entity's version is persisted and loaded/saved automatically.

'''Entity components'''
* The following fields have been added to the preset element exclusively in the beta version of {{cd|minecraft:apply_knockback_rules}}:
** {{cd|scale_previous_velocity}} scales the previous velocity of the target when hit.
** {{cd|horizontal_hit_angle_scale}} scales the horizontal angle response of the target when hit based on the attacker's aim direction.
** {{cd|vertical_hit_angle_scale}} scales the vertical angle response of the target when hit based on the attacker's aim direction.
** {{cd|vertical_position_angle_scale}} scales the vertical angle response of the target when hit based on the attacker's relative feet position.
** {{cd|scale_with_damage}} enables scaling the magnitude of knocback based on the inverse square of the damage.

'''Graphical'''
* Added static light shading to [[Minecraft:weather]].

'''Voxel Shapes'''
* Added non-unit-cube voxel shapes for 19 blocks when the Voxel Shapes experiment is enabled:
** [[Minecraft:Cake]] shapes (1 block): 7 bite-counter shapes for each slice of cake.
*** Candle cake shape (17 blocks).
** [[Minecraft:Composter]] shapes (1 block): 8 fill-level shapes for each stage of composting.
