'''Beta 26.70.21''' (ChromeOS, Android) or '''Preview 26.70.21''' (Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Xbox, PlayStation), also known as '''1.26.70.21 Beta/Preview''', is the second beta/''Preview'' for [[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 26.70]], released on October 18, 2026, for iOS and iPadOS, and on October 20, 2026, for all remaining devices,<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-preview-26-70-21|title=Minecraft Preview 26.70.21|website=Minecraft.net|date=October 20, 2026}}</ref> which adds the [[Minecraft:packed ice bricks]] block set and fixes bugs.

It also adds the built-in [[Minecraft:Music Features Add-On]], featuring the [[Minecraft:disc press]], craftable [[Minecraft:blank disc]]s to make [[Minecraft:track disc]]s, and the [[Minecraft:pocket jukebox]].

== Additions ==
=== Blocks ===
'''[[File:Packed Ice Bricks JE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Packed Ice Bricks]]'''
* Can be crafted from 4 [[Minecraft:packed ice]].
* Have a [[File:Packed Ice Brick Slab JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Packed Ice Brick Slab|slab]], [[File:Packed Ice Brick Stairs JE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Packed Ice Brick Stairs|stairs]], [[File:Packed Ice Brick Wall (ewU) BE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Packed Ice Brick Wall|wall]], and [[File:Chiseled Packed Ice JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Chiseled Packed Ice|chiseled]] variant.
** These blocks are not slippery and can be obtained without using [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]].
* Slabs, stairs, walls, and chiseled packed ice can also be crafted using a [[Minecraft:stonecutter]].

=== [[Minecraft:Music Features Add-On]] ===
==== Blocks ====
'''[[File:Disc Press.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Disc press]]'''
* A craftable block that can be used to create track discs.
{{Crafting
|A1=Copper Ingot
|A2=Copper Ingot
|A3=Cobblestone
|B1=Blank Disc
|B2=Crafting Table
|B3=Cobblestone
|C1=Copper Ingot
|C2=Copper Ingot
|C3=Cobblestone
|Output=Disc Press
|ignoreusage=1
}}
* A player can open its GUI by {{control|using}} it. Here, players can input a blank disc and a [[Minecraft:dye]], then select a [[Minecraft:music]] track, to create a music disc with that music track.
** Dyes are not required, they add color to the track disc.
** Available music tracks are [[Minecraft:menu screen]] tracks from [[Minecraft:C418]] and [[Minecraft:fingerspit]].

==== Items ====
'''[[File:Blank Disc BE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Blank disc]]'''
* A craftable item, used in a disc press to make track discs, and to craft disc presses and pocket jukeboxes. Has no use on its own.
{{Crafting
|A2=Glass Pane BE
|B1=Glass Pane BE
|B2=Paper
|B3=Glass Pane BE
|C2=Glass Pane BE
|Output=Blank Disc
|ignoreusage=1
}}

'''[[File:Pocket Jukebox BE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Pocket jukebox]]'''
* A craftable item that can play music from track discs in the player's inventory.
{{Crafting
|A1=Copper Nugget
|A2=Copper Nugget
|A3=Copper Nugget
|B1=Blank Disc
|B2=Matching Bundle
|B3=Copper Nugget
|C1=Copper Nugget
|C2=Copper Nugget
|C3=Copper Nugget
|Output=Matching Pocket Jukebox
|ignoreusage=1
}}
* The color of the item matches with the bundle; there are 16 color variants plus one undyed.
* Its GUI functions similarly to a [[Minecraft:bundle]]. It can hold 20 track discs at once.
* When the player {{control|uses}} it, it will start playing the first track. When the player uses it again, it pauses, after which it can be resumed.
** Music played from a pocket jukebox will be played client-side, muting background music.
** Multiple tracks are played subsequently as a playlist.
** The music finishes when the pocket jukebox is no longer in the player's inventory, or the playing track disc is taken out of the pocket jukebox.
* Can be held in the [[Minecraft:offhand]], but not used when doing so.

'''[[File:Track Disc White BE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Track disc]]'''
* A track disc item is produced upon using a blank disc in a disc press. It can hold one music track, and can be played in a [[Minecraft:jukebox]] or pocket jukebox.
* There are 16 color variants plus one undyed.

== Changes ==
=== Blocks ===
'''[[Minecraft:Blue ice]], [[Minecraft:frosted ice]], and [[Minecraft:packed ice]]'''
* Added unique block sounds.

'''[[Minecraft:Ice]]'''
* Added [[Minecraft:ambient]] sounds for ice.
** When an ice block is surrounded by at least 8 ice blocks in all horizontal directions (east, west, north, and south), with one air block above and one water block below, it has a chance to emit a sound.

=== Enchantments ===
'''[[Minecraft:Frost Walker]]'''
* Water now freezes in a circular area around the wearer, removing directional bias from the ice trail.
* Water now freezes only while the wearer is on the ground, preventing fatal fall damage caused by frosted ice forming beneath them while diving into water.

=== Items ===
'''[[Minecraft:Ice ball]]'''
* Increased ice ball base damage to 2, with damage decreasing as it loses velocity.
* [[Minecraft:Wither skeleton]]s can now pick up ice balls.

=== Mobs ===
'''[[Minecraft:Elder guardian]] and [[Minecraft:guardian]]'''
* Increased guardian base attack damage from 5 to 6 and elder guardian base attack damage from 5 to 8, matching ''Java Edition''.

'''[[Minecraft:Evoker]]'''
* Damage dealt to players by evoker fangs now scales with difficulty, matching ''Java Edition''.

'''[[Minecraft:Frostbite]]'''
* Now hold [[Minecraft:shield]]s in the same position as zombies.
* No longer spawn naturally underground outside the ice caves biome.
* Added closed captions for when frostbites convert to zombies and vice versa.

'''[[Minecraft:Polar bear]]'''
* Can no longer spawn on brittle ice.

=== World generation ===
'''[[Minecraft:Ice caves]]'''
* Players can now fall into ice caves beneath [[Minecraft:crevasse]]s when brittle ice breaks.
* Crevasses now generate at a more consistent density in ice caves with different ceiling heights.
* [[Minecraft:Animal]]s now spawn as their cold variants when using spawn eggs in ice caves.

=== Gameplay ===
'''[[Minecraft:Breaking]]'''
* [[Minecraft:Mining Fatigue]] now reduces mining speed by the same amount as in ''Java Edition''.
* [[Minecraft:Haste]] and [[Minecraft:Conduit Power]] now increase mining speed by the same amount as in ''Java Edition''.

=== General ===
'''Graphical'''
* [[Minecraft:Skull]]s and [[Minecraft:chest]]s now face the player in first person and away from the player in third person view.
* [[Minecraft:Shield]]s, [[Minecraft:crossbows]], [[Minecraft:spear]]s, and [[Minecraft:spyglass]]es animate correctly in first person view when selected.
* Disabled block light quality options "High" and "Ultra" if they are unsupported, and added a notice explaining why.

'''[[Minecraft:Music]]'''
* Ambient music is now muted when players return within range of a playing jukebox after leaving its broadcast range.

'''UI'''
* Improved loading time of player profile overview tab.
* The freezing screen overlay no longer lingers after respawning when a player dies with the Freezing effect.
* The health bar now updates correctly when a [[Minecraft:totem of undying]] activates.
* Splash potions, lingering potions, and XP bottles now display the correct captions when breaking.
* [[Minecraft:Wind charge]]s now display the correct captions when thrown.
* Deferred and limited background server status requests to reduce delays during sign-in and menu loading.
* External link buttons in settings now properly animate before opening in the browser on all platforms.

=== Technical ===
'''[[Minecraft:API]]'''
* Added the {{cd|BlockSearchOptions}} interface for {{cd|Dimension.getBlockAbove}} and {{cd|Dimension.getBlockBelow}}, replacing {{cd|BlockRaycastOptions}}. Existing fields and whole-block search behavior are unchanged; existing option objects still work.
* Raycast {{cd|maxDistance}} values outside -2147483648 to 2147483647 now throw {{cd|PropertyOutOfBoundsError}} before truncation.
* Released {{cd|PrimitiveShape}} properties {{cd|hiddenFrom}} and {{cd|defaultVisibleToAll}} from {{cd|beta}} to {{cd|V2.12.0}}.
* Released block point-of-interest APIs from {{cd|beta}} to {{cd|v2.12.0}}.
* Added {{cd|GamePadAndMouse}} as a member of {{cd|InputMode}}.
* {{cd|ItemBlockDynamicPropertiesComponent}} and {{cd|ItemBlockEntityStorageComponent}} may no longer be accessed on Vanilla items.
* Renamed the item component {{cd|minecraft:block_actor_dynamic_properties}} to {{cd|minecraft:block_dynamic_properties}}.
* {{cd|@minecraft/server-ui}}:
** Released {{cd|MessageBoxOptions}} and the optional {{cd|MessageBox}} constructor options parameter to stable version {{cd|2.4.0}}, including {{cd|showHorizontalButtons}} for horizontal button layouts.
** Released {{cd|CustomForm.multiButtonRow}}, {{cd|ButtonData}}, and {{cd|MultiButtonRowOptions}} to stable version {{cd|2.4.0}}.
** Released version 2.4.0 of {{cd|@minecraft/server-ui}}.
** Added 2.5.0 beta of {{cd|@minecraft/server-ui}}.

'''[[Minecraft:Block components]]'''
* Modified {{cd|minecraft:destructible_by_mining}} component renamed {{cd|seconds_to_destroy}} field to {{cd|base_time_to_destroy}}.

'''Entity components'''
* {{cd|minecraft:projectile}}:
** Added {{cd|scale_damage_with_difficulty}} to {{cd|on_hit.impact_damage}} for entity format versions 1.26.70 and later, controlling whether impact damage dealt to players by mob-fired projectiles scales with world difficulty.
** {{cd|scale_damage_with_difficulty}} defaults to {{cd|true}}; set it to {{cd|false}} to disable difficulty scaling. Entities using earlier format versions retain their previous behavior with difficulty scaling disabled.

'''Mobs'''
* Internal only Vex goals are no longer listed in legacy goal documentation.

== Experimental ==
These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Beta APIs", "Upcoming Creator Features", and "Render Dragon Features for Creators" [[Minecraft:experimental]] toggles.

=== Changes ===
==== Technical ====
'''[[Minecraft:API]]'''
* Added the beta {{cd|usePreciseRaycast}} option to {{cd|BlockRaycastOptions}} and {{cd|EntityRaycastOptions}} to preserve fractional distances and check the full ray. It defaults to {{cd|false}}, preserving legacy behavior, and does not apply to {{cd|BlockSearchOptions}}.
* Entity raycasts with {{cd|usePreciseRaycast}} enabled throw {{cd|InvalidArgumentError}} for negative {{cd|maxDistance}} values.

'''Entity filters'''
* Added the {{cd|speed}} entity filter for comparing an entity's speed in meters per second.
* Added the {{cd|horizontal_speed}} entity filter for comparing an entity's horizontal speed in meters per second.
* Added the {{cd|vertical_speed}} entity filter for comparing an entity's signed vertical speed in meters per second.

'''{{cmd|gametest}}'''
* Added new version for the {{cmd|runset}} command for {{cmd|gametest}} which may run multiple tags in a single command. Ex. the command, {{cmd|gametest runset SetA SetB}}, will now run all tests tagged as {{cd|SetA}} or {{cd|SetB}}.
* {{cmd|runset}} now allows for a {{cd|withoutTags}} flag to be added which ignores any tests with the specified tags. Ex. the command, {{cmd|gametest runset SetA withoutTags SetB}}, will run all tests from {{cd|SetA}} that do not also have the tag {{cd|SetB}}.
* Adjusted the parameter {{cd|rotationSteps}} in {{cmd|runset}} to be explicit rather than implicit. Ex. Previously, a command such as {{cmd|gametest runset SetA 2}} would read the {{cd|rotationSteps}}, 2, after the specified tag, {{cd|SetA}}. Now the {{cd|rotationSteps}} flag must be declared before its value as such, {{cmd|gametest runset SetA rotationSteps 2}}.

'''Network protocol'''
* Added enum value {{cd|gametestRunSetMultiTag}} to {{cd|CurrentCmdVersion}}.
