'''Third Drop 2026''' is an upcoming [[Minecraft:game drop]] that will release as (je-version) and (be-version) during the third quarter of 2026.
The '''third game drop of 2026''' is an upcoming, currently unnamed [[Minecraft:game drop]] that will release in the third quarter of 2026. It focuses on the [[Minecraft:dappled forest]] biome, adding [[Minecraft:poplar|poplar trees]] with three different colors of [[Minecraft:leaves]], a new wood type and new nature blocks. It also adds [[Minecraft:wool stairs]], [[Minecraft:Wool Slab|slabs]], [[Minecraft:Cushion|cushions]] and [[Minecraft:Straw Bed|straw beds]] alongside a new structure, the [[Minecraft:abandoned camp]]. It was announced at [[Minecraft:Minecraft Live – May 2026]].
Some features of this drop will be released earlier as an [[Minecraft:experiment]] in [[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 26.40]].
*** Produces falling leaf particles that match the leaf color, falling as frequently as pale oak or cherry leaf particles. [[File:Poplar leaves particle example.png|thumb|right|Falling poplar leaves]]
** Emits ambient sounds when attached to any log and next to at least 3 of the same type of leaves in its four horizontal directions.

=== World generation ===
==== Biomes ====
'''{{BiomeLink|Dappled forest|scale=1.5}}'''
* An autumn-themed forest biome which can be found near cold biomes; it consists of [[Minecraft:poplar tree]]s, patches of [[Minecraft:coarse dirt]], [[Minecraft:red shrub]]s, [[Minecraft:leaf litter]], [[Minecraft:brown mushroom]]s, [[Minecraft:shelf mushroom]]s, and sparse [[Minecraft:spruce]] trees.
** [[Minecraft:Fallen poplar tree]]s generate more frequently than other fallen trees.
* [[Minecraft:Rabbit]]s, [[Minecraft:fox]]es, and the cold variants of [[Minecraft:farm animal]]s spawn here.
==== Features ====
'''{{Animate|Poplar Tree Red Leaves.png;Poplar Tree Orange Leaves.png;Poplar Tree Yellow Leaves.png|32px}} [[Minecraft:Poplar tree]]'''
* A [[Minecraft:tree]] that generates in dappled forests.
* Sometimes has [[Minecraft:shelf mushroom]]s growing on it.
* Comes in three different colors of leaves: orange, red, and yellow. The color of the tree is randomly decided upon world generation.
* [[File:Poplar Fallen Log.png|x32px]] [[Minecraft:Fallen tree|Fallen]] poplar trees contain brown mushrooms and shelf mushrooms as well.
* A structure that generates on the surface of the Overworld.
* The tent consists mainly of [[Minecraft:white wool stairs]], [[Minecraft:fence]]s and [[Minecraft:straw bed]]s.
* Its appearance and structure vary significantly depending on the biome, with variations such as containing a stone shelter or having [[Minecraft:leaves]] or [[Minecraft:cobweb]]s, a [[Minecraft:tree]], a pond, or a [[Minecraft:crop]] farm.
* Contains loot in [[Minecraft:chest]]s, [[Minecraft:barrel]]s or in a rare [[Minecraft:oxidized copper chest]].
** One instance of the copper chest is waxed,{{verify|Seen in camman18 video, not sure if true}} likely due to a bug.{{cn}}
* Changed the texture. Mainly the strap part which has been moved down by one pixel in order to better align with the [[Minecraft:straw bed]].
'''[[Minecraft:Spruce leaves]]'''
* No longer produce falling leaf particles.
=== Items ===
'''[[Minecraft:Mushroom stew]] and [[Minecraft:Suspicious stew]]'''
* Can now be crafted with any combination of two mushrooms instead of specifically requiring one [[Minecraft:red mushroom]] and one [[Minecraft:brown mushroom]].
