'''26.4 Snapshot 8''' (known as '''26.4-snapshot-8''' in the [[Minecraft:launcher]]) is the eighth [[Minecraft:snapshot]] for [[Minecraft:Java Edition 26.4]], released on November 10, 2026,<ref>{{Mcnet|minecraft-26-4-snapshot-8|Minecraft 26.4 Snapshot 8|November 10, 2026}}</ref> which adds two new languages, makes minor and technical changes, updates ender dragon fight behavior, and fixes bugs.

== Additions ==
=== General ===
'''[[Minecraft:Block tag (Java Edition)|Block tags]]'''
* Added {{cd|#triggers_ambient_ice_block_sounds}} – all blocks that trigger ice to play its ambient sound.
* Added {{cd|#triggers_ambient_ice_crystal_sounds}} – all blocks that trigger ice crystals to play their ambient sound.

'''[[Minecraft:Language]]s'''
* Added support for {{w|Javanese language|Javanese}} and {{w|Chavacano|Chavacano, Zamboanga}} languages.

== Changes ==
=== Items ===
'''[[Minecraft:Ice ball]]'''
* The damage dealt by ice balls has been slightly reduced from <code>1.395 ⋅ speed</code> to <code>1.3 ⋅ speed</code>.

'''[[Minecraft:Music Disc Flurry|Music disc "Flurry"]]'''
* The letter "F" on the name of this music disc has been capitalized.

=== Mobs ===
'''[[Minecraft:Ender dragon]]'''
* The ender dragon no longer has slower vertical velocity than intended, fixing several issues with its AI that were introduced in [[Minecraft:19w08b]] and restoring previously broken behavior:
** The dragon now properly reaches its flying and attacking points, no longer getting stuck flying back and forth between two points.
** The dragon now properly dives at the player periodically, when it shoots a fireball, and after it has finished perching.
** The dragon now properly descends to the portal, rather than flying back and forth while slowly descending.

'''[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]'''
* The cold sulfur cube archetype no longer floats to match the behavior of other archetypes of similar properties.

'''[[Minecraft:Undead]] mobs'''
* All undead mobs are now immune to the [[Minecraft:Freezing]] effect.

=== General ===
'''[[Minecraft:Data pack]]'''
* The [[Minecraft:pack format]] version is now {{cd|127.0}}.

'''Network protocol'''
* The entity position synchronization packet now includes full-precision head rotation.

'''[[Minecraft:Resource pack]]'''
* The version is now {{cd|103.0}}.

'''[[Minecraft:Shaders]]'''
* <samp>terrain.vsh</samp> is refactored to decode new vertex data packing.

*'''Order-Independent Transparency'''
** OIT shaders were converted to rely on subpasses.
*** Changed <samp>core/oit_composite.fsh</samp>, <samp>core/oit_depth_bounds_cull.fsh</samp>, <samp>include/oit_depth_sample.glsl</samp>, <samp>include/oit_sample.glsl</samp>
*** Added <samp>core/blit_depth_bounds.fsh</samp> shader to blit depth bounds in a subpass context.
* '''Boat water mask whaders'''
** The way water mask is handled was changed to support subpasses in OIT.
*** It is now rendered to a separate target that is sampled during terrain rendering instead of being rendered to the terrain depth buffer.
*** Changed <samp>core/rendertype_water_mask.fsh and <samp>core/terrain.fsh</samp>
*** Removed <samp>core/blit_depth.fsh</samp>
*** This approach is used both when OIT is on and off.

'''[[Minecraft:Sound]]s'''
* Added a new sound events:
** {{cd|entity.frostbite.throw}}

'''Validation'''
* Most validation issues in following registries no longer prevent elements from being loaded:
** {{cd|minecraft:loot_table}}
** {{cd|minecraft:predicate}}
** {{cd|minecraft:item_modifier}}
** {{cd|minecraft:slot_source}}
** {{cd|minecraft:context_float_provider}}
** {{cd|minecraft:context_int_provider}}
** {{cd|minecraft:villager_trade}}
** {{cd|trigger}} fields in {{cd|minecraft:advancement}}
** {{cd|requirements}} fields on {{cd|minecraft:enchantment_effect_component_type}} instances.
* The following issues are now considered errors that can prevent pack loading or cause command compilation failure:
** The validated element makes recursive calls to itself, either through tags or namespaced IDs.
** Any context values required by the validated element are missing from the context provided during execution.
*** For example, the modifier type {{cd|minecraft:apply_bonus}} (which uses the {{cd|tool}} context value) cannot be used in an {{cmd|item ... modify}} command which provides the {{cd|minecraft:command_modifier}} context (which lacks the {{cd|tool}} context value).
* Elements will only be validated if they do not have conditions or condition has all required context values.
** That means conditional elements can be used to avoid validation errors in loot elements used in multiple context.
** Conditional elements:
*** {{cd|condition}} field for cases in {{cd|minecraft:number_dispatcher}} (both {{cd|minecraft:context_float_provider}} and {{cd|minecraft:context_int_provider}} kinds).
*** {{cd|merchant_predicate}} condition field in {{cd|minecraft:villager_trade}}
*** {{cd|condition}} field in loot pools, loot pool entries and loot functions
* Validation errors will now prevent command compilation, both in functions and from the console
** For example, {{cmd|compute entity @s float {type: "minecraft:enchantment_level",amount:{type:"minecraft:linear",base:0.15,per_level_above_first:0.15}}}} will now fail to compile due to use of {{cd|minecraft:enchantment_level}} in a {{cd|minecraft:command_compute_entity}} context that does not provide required information ({{cd|minecraft:enchantment_level}}).
* The {{cd|minecraft:command}} context has been split into {{cd|minecraft:command_predicate}} (used for predicates in commands, like {{cmd|execute if predicate}}) and {{cd|minecraft:command_modifier}} (used for item modifiers, for example in {{cmd|item ... modify}} functions).
* To simplify the discovery of validation rules, a new report has been added {{cd|: loot_context_requirements.json}}
** Values given as {{cd|allowed}} for some context can be used by validated elements when run in this context.
** The context used by command arguments can be found in the <samp>commands.json</samp> report in the {{cd|context}} field of the following argument types:
*** {{cd|minecraft:context_float_provider}}
*** {{cd|minecraft:context_int_provider}}
*** {{cd|minecraft:loot_modifier}}
*** {{cd|minecraft:loot_predicate}}
*** {{cd|minecraft:loot_table}}
*** {{cd|minecraft:slot_source}}
