'''26.4 Snapshot 3''' (known as '''26.4-snapshot-3''' in the [[Minecraft:launcher]]) is the third [[Minecraft:snapshot]] for [[Minecraft:Java Edition 26.4]], released on October 6, 2026,<ref>{{Mcnet|minecraft-26-4-snapshot-3|Minecraft 26.4 Snapshot 3|October 6, 2026}}</ref> which adds the [[Minecraft:ice caves]] including [[Minecraft:ice crystal]]s and [[Minecraft:icicle]]s, [[Minecraft:ice ball]]s, the [[Minecraft:frostbite]] and the [[Minecraft:Freezing|freezing effect]], and fixes bugs.

== Additions ==
=== Blocks ===
'''[[File:Ice Crystal (U) JE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Ice crystal]]'''
* A crystal block which generates on the ground in [[Minecraft:ice caves]].
* Provides a small amount of [[Minecraft:light]].
* Can be placed on all sides of a block.

'''[[File:Icicle.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Icicle]]'''
* A spike block that generates as stalactites on the ceiling in [[Minecraft:ice caves]].
* Can also be placed on the ground as stalagmites.
* [[Minecraft:Icicle]] blocks melt and break when a strong enough light source is nearby, or in [[Minecraft:the Nether]].
* Falling [[Minecraft:icicle]]s deal damage to entities.
* Falling on an [[Minecraft:icicle]] stalagmite multiplies the fall damage.

=== Items ===
{{InvSprite|Frostbite Spawn Egg}} '''[[Minecraft:Frostbite spawn egg]]'''
* Used to spawn a [[Minecraft:frostbite]].

{{InvSprite|Ice Ball}} '''[[Minecraft:Ice ball]]'''
* A throwable projectile that deals damage.

{{AnimateSprite|Potion of Freezing;Splash Potion of Freezing;Lingering Potion of Freezing}}'''[[Minecraft:Potion of Freezing]]'''
* Obtained by brewing an [[Minecraft:awkward potion]] with an [[Minecraft:ice ball]].
* Causes the [[Minecraft:Freezing]] effect when consumed.

=== Effects ===
[[File:Freezing JE1 BE1.png|32px]] '''[[Minecraft:Freezing]]'''

* Immune to [[Minecraft:Freezing]] effect.
** Does not sink in [[Minecraft:powder snow]].
* Burns in sunlight.
