[[Minecraft:The Word of Notch|Blog posts]] and [[Minecraft:YouTube]] videos by [[Minecraft:Notch]] were posted showing in-development features later included in [[Minecraft:0.26 SURVIVAL TEST]] and later releases.<br />
<br />
== Performance improvements (October 13, 2009) ==<br />
'''[https://web.archive.org/web/0/https://notch.tumblr.com/post/212039277/tuesday-update Word of Notch post]'''<br />
<br />
* Terrain rendering optimizations make the game render as much as 40% faster.<br />
** However, the pre-rendering code for entities still significantly slows down the game.<br />
<br />
== Explosions update (October 20, 2009) ==<br />
'''[https://web.archive.org/web/20091023135525/https://notch.tumblr.com/post/218118974/slowly-coming-crawling-back Word of Notch post]''', '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pUs1zMQiNI YouTube video]'''<br />
<br />
* Creeper explosions no longer destroy stone or stone-like blocks.<br />
* Explosions leave black smoldering particle effects over the effected area.<br />
* Optimized resource usage by making far-away entities invisible; the distance they are visible in depends on entity size.<br />
* Removed background gradient from GUIs.[[File:ExplosionUpdate.png|alt=|none|thumb|width=172x172]]<br />
<br />
== Rain test (October 22, 2009) ==<br />
'''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA5w9lSwEGk YouTube video]'''<br />
* Rain<br />
** Dynamic and bounces around.<br />
** Created by pressing {{Keys|F5}}.{{verify}}[[File:RainTest.png|none|thumb|width=151x151]]<br />
<br />
== Dirt slab test (October 22, 2009) ==<br />
'''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110302153232/http://notch.tumblr.com/post/220243988/half-sized-blocks-all-dirt-tiles-so-it-kinda Word of Notch post]'''<br />
<br />
* Half-sized dirt block test.<br />
** Dirt slabs replaced dirt upon generation.<br />
** Slabs caused the tile they are in to be darkened.<br />
** Cannot be climbed or made into double slabs yet.<br />
** You cannot break blocks behind the slabs, as their hitbox is that of a full block.<br />

'''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110302153325/http://notch.tumblr.com:80/post/220964272/new-enemy-type-the-idea-is-that-these-will Word of Notch post]''', '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS64I8fURpQ YouTube video]'''<br />
