'''26.4 Snapshot 5''' (known as '''26.4-snapshot-5''' in the [[Minecraft:launcher]]) is the fifth [[Minecraft:snapshot]] for [[Minecraft:Java Edition 26.4]], released on October 20, 2026,<ref>{{Mcnet|minecraft-26-4-snapshot-5|Minecraft 26.4 Snapshot 5|October 20, 2026}}</ref> which adds the [[Minecraft:packed ice bricks]] block set, a new advancement, and fixes bugs.

== Additions ==
=== Blocks ===
'''[[File:Chiseled Packed Ice JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Chiseled packed ice]]'''
* Chiseled variant of packed ice.
* Does not have a face like many other chiseled block variants; instead has a snowflake pattern.

'''[[File:Packed Ice Bricks JE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Packed ice bricks]]'''
* A new kind of brick made from [[Minecraft:packed ice]] which, unlike normal packed ice, is not slippery.
* Crafted using a 2×2 square of packed ice.
* Have [[Minecraft:Packed Ice Brick Slab|a slab]], [[Minecraft:Packed Ice Brick Stairs|stairs]], [[Minecraft:Packed Ice Brick Wall|wall]], and [[Minecraft:Chiseled Packed Ice|chiseled]] variant.
* Packed ice bricks slabs, stairs, walls, as well as chiseled packed ice, can also be crafted using a [[Minecraft:stonecutter]].
* Packed ice bricks and chiseled packed ice belong to the Fast Sliding [[Minecraft:sulfur cube]] archetype.
* The correct tool to mine ice bricks is a [[Minecraft:pickaxe]], but unlike other ice blocks, it does not need [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]].
** They can also be mined by hand while still getting the drop (albeit slower).

'''[[File:Packed Ice Brick Slab JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Packed ice brick slab]]'''
* The slab variant of packed ice bricks.

'''[[File:Packed Ice Brick Stairs (N) JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Packed ice brick stairs]]'''
* The stair variant of packed ice bricks.

'''[[File:Packed Ice Brick Wall (ewU) JE1.png|32px]] [[Minecraft:Packed ice brick wall]]'''
* Wall variant of packed ice bricks.

=== Gameplay ===
'''[[Minecraft:Advancement]]s'''
* Added one new advancement.
{{Load advancements|What Goes Around Comes Around}}

=== General ===
'''[[Minecraft:Options]]'''
* Video Settings
** Added "Prefer DXGI Present", a new option that attempts to use DirectX to present the game.
*** The setting is only supported on the Windows platform, and not all hardware is supported.
*** The setting defaults to off, and it is classed as experimental; it may not work for all players.
*** With the setting enabled, the player may see improvements in IME support, improved support for Variable Refresh Rate, and experience faster alt-tabbing while the game is set to fullscreen mode.

'''[[Minecraft:Tag (Java Edition)|Tags]]'''
* Entity Type Tags
** Added {{Tag link|entity type|immune_to_wither}} for mobs that are immune to the wither effect.
** Added {{Tag link|entity type|immune_to_weakness}} for mobs that are immune to the weakness effect.

== Changes ==
=== Blocks ===
'''[[Minecraft:Ice]]'''
* Added ambient sounds for regular ice block.
** 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.

=== Mobs ===
'''General'''
* Mobs can now break [[Minecraft:decorated pot]]s, [[Minecraft:chorus flower]]s and [[Minecraft:speleothem]] blocks with projectiles in an adventure mode world, unless the {{cd|mob_griefing}} gamerule is set to {{cd|false}}.

=== World generation ===
'''[[Minecraft:Ice Caves]]'''
* They can now generate both [[Minecraft:stronghold]]s and [[Minecraft:ruined portal]]s.

=== General ===
'''[[Minecraft:Data component format]]'''
* {{cd|minecraft:consumable}}
** The {{cd|sound}} field is now fully optional (defaulted to {{cd|minecraft:entity.generic.eat}} before).

* {{cd|minecraft:equippable}}
** The {{cd|equip_sound}} field is now fully optional (defaulted to {{cd|minecraft:item.armor.equip_generic}})
** The {{cd|shearing_sound}} field is now fully optional (defaulted to {{cd|minecraft:item.shears.snip}})

'''[[Minecraft:Data pack]]'''
* The [[Minecraft:pack format]] version is now {{cd|125.0}}.

'''[[Minecraft:Density function]]'''
* Changed {{cd|upscale}} (renamed from {{cd|interpolated}})
** Samples the input function at a reduced resolution, and upscales on each axis with the specified modes. Modes that require more samples will generally perform worse. Upscaling is performed by axis in order: Z, X, then Y.
** Format: object with fields:
*** {{cd|input}} - Density Function, the input function to sample
*** {{cd|x}}, {{cd|y}}, {{cd|z}} - object with fields, the configuration for this axis
**** {{cd|mode}} - one of: {{cd|nearest_neighbor}}, {{cd|interpolate_linear}}, {{cd|interpolate_cosine}}, {{cd|interpolate_cubic}}, {{cd|b_spline_cubic}}, the mode to use.
***** {{cd|nearest_neighbor}}
****** 1 sample per axis.
****** Value is discontinuous across cell boundaries, gradient is always {{cd|0}}.
****** Values at cell vertices always equal the cell value.
***** {{cd|interpolate_linear}}
****** 2 samples per axis
****** Value is continuous, gradient is constant within a cell but discontinuous across cell boundaries.
****** Values at cell vertices always equal the cell value.
***** {{cd|interpolate_cosine}}
****** 2 samples per axis.
****** Value and gradient are continuous.
****** Gradient is {{cd|0}} at cell boundaries.
****** Values at cell vertices always equal the cell value.
***** {{cd|interpolate_cubic}}
****** 4 samples per axis.
****** Value and gradient are continuous.
****** Values at cell vertices always equal the cell value.
***** {{cd|b_spline_cubic}}
****** 4 samples per axis.
****** Value and gradient are continuous.
****** Values at cell vertices do not necessarily equal the cell value.
**** {{cd|cell_size}} - integer between 1 and 64, the size of each upscaling cell.

'''[[Minecraft:Feature]]'''
* Changed {{cd|ore}} and {{cd|scattered_ore}}
** Blocks discarded due to air exposure will no longer fall through to the next replacement rule.

'''Network Protocol'''
* Modified Login Protocol
** Encryption and compression must now be explicitly applied by the server by sending one of two packets that carry connection options.
*** The client must acknowledge the change with a matching packet.
*** Every packet sent and received by the client after the acknowledgement will use the new settings.
*** Previously changes were applied immediately on both sides, which might have lead to malformed packets.
** Packets that can carry options:
*** {{cd|minecraft:login_finished}} (clientbound) and {{cd|minecraft:login_acknowledged}} (serverbound).
*** {{cd|minecraft:apply_options}} (clientbound) and {{cd|minecraft:options_applied}} (serverbound).

'''[[Minecraft:Resource pack]]'''
* The version is now {{cd|100.2}}.

'''[[Minecraft:Tag (Java Edition)|Tags]]'''
* Biome Tags
** Added {{cd|ice_caves}} to {{Tag link|biome|d=and|stronghold_biased_to|has_structure/ruined_portal_standard}} tag.
** Renamed the {{Tag link|biome|spawns_strays_without_powder_snow}} biome tag to {{Tag link|biome|spawns_cold_variants_underground}}, and reworked to describe all biomes which allow the spawning of monster cold variants ([[Minecraft:strays]] and [[Minecraft:frostbite]]) without requiring sky access. 

* Block Tags
** Added {{cd|d=and|packed_ice_bricks|chiseled_packed_ice}} to {{Tag link|block|ice}} tag.
** Added {{cd|packed_ice_brick_slab}} to {{Tag link|block|slabs}} tag.
** Added {{cd|packed_ice_brick_stairs}} to {{Tag link|block|stairs}} tag.
** Added {{cd|packed_ice_brick_wall}} to {{Tag link|block|walls}} tag.
** Added {{cd|d=and|packed_ice_bricks|packed_ice_brick_slab|packed_ice_brick_stairs|packed_ice_brick_wall|chiseled_packed_ice}} to {{Tag link|block|mineable/pickaxe}} tag.

* Entity Type Tags
** Replaced the {{Tag link|entity type|ignores_poison_and_regen}} entity type tag with separate {{Tag link|entity type|immune_to_poison}} and {{Tag link|entity type|immune_to_regeneration}} tags.
** Renamed the {{Tag link|entity type|freeze_immune_entity_types}} entity type tag to {{Tag link|entity type|immune_to_freezing}}.

* Item Tags
** Added {{cd|packed_ice_brick_slab}} to {{Tag link|item|slabs}} tag.
** Added {{cd|packed_ice_brick_stairs}} to {{Tag link|item|stairs}} tag.
** Added {{cd|packed_ice_brick_wall}} to {{Tag link|item|walls}} tag.
