'''Beta 26.40.27''' (ChromeOS, Android) or '''Preview 26.40.27''' (Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Xbox, PlayStation) is the fourth beta/''Preview'' for [[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 26.40]], released on June 23, 2026,<ref>{{cite|url=https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/46859116900365-Minecraft-Beta-Preview-26-40-27|title=Minecraft Beta & Preview - 26.40.27|website=Minecraft Feedback|date=June 23, 2026}}</ref> which adds experimental features for the [[Minecraft:Third Drop 2026|third drop of 2026]] and fixes bugs.

== Changes ==

=== Mobs ===
'''[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]'''
* High levels of the [[Minecraft:Strength]] effect now correctly increase the distance at which a sulfur cube with an absorbed block is knocked back.

'''[[Minecraft:Player]]'''
* Players can no longer get soft-locked when standing inside a sulfur cube's or a [[Minecraft:creaking]]'s bounding box, as they are now able to interact with the entities and blocks around them through the mob.
** Applies only when the entities are invulnerable.
** Replaces the workaround where creakings would despawn after blocking a player for too long.

=== Items ===
'''[[Minecraft:Arrow]]'''
* Arrows fired by mobs with a [[Minecraft:crossbow]] now deal the same damage regardless of the shooting mobs.
* Arrows fired by players or other mobs with a crossbow are no longer affected by difficulty.

=== General ===
'''[[Minecraft:Realms]]'''
* Added a Delete button on the Subscriptions tab for expired Realms.
* Updated terms on Realms purchase screen.

'''[[Minecraft:Settings]]'''
* Added frame pacing for Xbox platforms in ''Preview'', disabled by default.
* Updated old and retail world conversion flows in the Storage settings tab.

'''UI'''
* New social drawer infrastructure with performance fixes.

=== Technical ===
'''AI Components'''
* Made schemas for the following components stricter when parsing and will fail to load an entity json that has invalid data in versions 1.26.40 and newer.
** {{cd|minecraft:jump.dynamic}}
** {{cd|minecraft:jump.static}}

'''[[Minecraft:API]]'''
* Renamed {{cd|Dimension.findClosestBiome}} to {{cd|Dimension.calculateClosestBiomeFromSeed}} and released from {{cd|beta}} to scripts version {{cd|2.9.0}}
* Released {{cd|BiomeSearchOptions}} from {{cd|beta}} to scripts version {{cd|2.9.0}}

'''[[Minecraft:Block components]]'''
* Vanilla blocks defined with shapes in the shapes/ folder now use voxel-shape based culling without requiring the Voxel Shapes experiment. This will allow custom blocks using voxel-shapes to attempt to cull against any vanilla block with a voxel-shape.

'''Fences'''
* In 1.26.40+ worlds, fence connection changes now send server-side block updates to adjacent blocks. Older worlds keep legacy behavior for compatibility.

'''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.

'''[[Minecraft:Commands]]'''
* Using player name as target for commands (i.e. {{cmd|tell}}) for non-operator players is now allowed.

'''DDUI'''
* Added image method onto {{cd|CustomForm}} in {{cd|@minecraft/server-ui}} to allow showing images on {{cd|CustomForms}}.

'''Dedicated Server'''
* Added CLI options to run the dedicated server in pack optimization mode, allowing creators to optimize packs for testing and distribution inside and outside Marketplace.

'''Entity components'''
* Made the following changes to the {{cd|impact_damage}} {{cd|on_hit}} subcomponent of {{cd|minecraft:projectile}}:
** Added a {{cd|ceil_pre_critical_damage}} boolean field that rounds the projectile's damage up to the next integer before the critical hit multiplier is applied.
** {{cd|power_multiplier}} is now applied regardless of the {{cd|difficulty_randomization}} mode, so it can be used on its own to scale damage by the projectile's velocity.
*** The resulting value is added to damage to define the projectile's base damage.
*** Its default value changed from {{cd|2}} to {{cd|0}} so that prior content remains unchanged when neither field is specified.
** Replaced the {{cd|semi_random_diff_damage}} boolean field with {{cd|difficulty_randomization}}, which controls how the world difficulty contributes to the final damage:
*** {{cd|none}}: difficulty is ignored (default).
*** {{cd|additive}}: a difficulty-driven term is added to the base damage (matches the previous behavior when {{cd|semi_random_diff_damage}} was {{cd|true}}).
*** {{cd|multiplicative}}: a difficulty-driven term is added to {{cd|power_multiplier}} before it scales by the projectile's velocity.
** Content authored against earlier format versions is automatically upgraded when loaded in 1.26.40 or later to preserve existing behavior2.
* Added the {{cd|minecraft:not_pickable_from_inside}} entity component.
** When set, the entity cannot be targeted by a cursor hit-test while the picker's point of view lies inside the entity's collision box.

== Experimental ==

=== Changes ===

==== Technical ====
'''[[Minecraft:API]]'''
* Added the {{cd|SoundDefinition}} class to beta with read-only {{cd|soundEventId}} and {{cd|durationInfo}} properties.
* Added the {{cd|SoundDefinitionDurationInfo}} interface to beta with a {{cd|duration}} property.
* Added the {{cd|SoundDefinitionFilter}} interface to beta with optional {{cd|minDuration}} and {{cd|maxDuration}} properties.
* Added the {{cd|SoundDefinitionRegistry}} class to beta with a {{cd|getDefinitions}} method that returns the loaded sound definitions, optionally narrowed by a filter.
* Added the {{cd|World.soundDefinitionRegistry}} property to beta that provides read-only access to the sound definitions loaded for the world.
* {{cd|Player.playSound}} now accepts a {{cd|SoundDefinition}} in addition to a sound id string in beta.
* Added the {{cd|SoundDefinition}} class to beta with read-only {{cd|soundEventId}} and {{cd|durationInfo}} properties.
* Added the {{cd|SoundDefinitionDurationInfo}} interface to beta with a {{cd|duration}} property.
* Added the {{cd|SoundDefinitionFilter}} interface to beta with optional {{cd|minDuration}} and {{cd|maxDuration}} properties.
* Added the {{cd|SoundDefinitionRegistry}} class to beta with a {{cd|getDefinitions}} method that returns the loaded sound definitions, optionally narrowed by a filter.
* Added the {{cd|World.soundDefinitionRegistry}} property to beta that provides read-only access to the sound definitions loaded for the world.
* {{cd|Player.playSound}} now accepts a {{cd|SoundDefinition}} in addition to a sound id string in beta.
* The {{cd|minecraft:server_sound_definitions}} payload in {{cd|sounds/sound_definitions.json}} now accepts an optional music_info block on each definition with optional genres (array of strings), moods (array of strings), artist (string), and title (string) fields that describe the music content of the sound.
* The {{cd|minecraft:server_sound_definitions}} payload now accepts an optional tags map on each definition where each entry is a tag name mapped to either a single string value or an array of string values, letting behavior packs attach arbitrary metadata to a server sound definition.
<syntaxhighlight>
"music_info": {
"genres": ["electronic", "ambient"],
"moods": ["calm"],
"artist": "Some Artist",
"title": "My Cool Song"
},
"tags": {
"category": "background",
"regions": ["overworld", "nether"]
}</syntaxhighlight>
* Added new beta {{cd|interface SoundDefinitionMusicInfo}} with optional genres, moods, artist, and title properties describing the music content of a sound definition.
* Added new optional beta {{cd|property SoundDefinition.musicInfo}} exposing the music metadata declared on a server sound definition.
* Added new optional beta {{cd|property SoundDefinition.tags}} exposing the arbitrary tag metadata declared on a server sound definition.
* Added new optional beta properties on {{cd|SoundDefinitionFilter}} for filtering by music metadata and tags: genres, moods, artists, titles, and tags. All comparisons are case-insensitive. An omitted field does not filter; a non-empty array matches when any provided value overlaps the definition's values.

'''Blocks'''
* Block dynamic properties are now bucketed by manifest-UUID rather than module-UUID.
* Added support for {{cd|y_rotation_offset}} when using the minecraft:sixteen_way_rotation placement direction block trait.
* Added horizontal "{{cd|direction}}" support for the {{cd|minecraft:multi_block}} trait.
** These new directions "{{cd|north}}", "{{cd|south}}", "{{cd|west}}", "{{cd|east}}" still require Upcoming Creator Features experiment to be enabled.
** When placing horizontal multi-blocks if one or more parts go into an unloaded {{cd|LevelChunk}} then the placement of all parts is delayed until both {{cd|LevelChunks}} are loaded, delayed placement actions are persistent and saved to Level storage until they are executed.
** If placing the horizontal multi-block in a structure template, and then rotating the structure, the block parts will only rotate properly if the multi-block is also defined with the {{cd|minecraft:placement_direction}} trait enabling the {{cd|minecraft:cardinal_direction}} state, otherwise the multi-block parts will not respect the structures rotation.
