Technical

AI Components

AI Goals

Minecraft:API

Blocks

Minecraft:Block components

Entity components

  • Added a new Template:Cd boolean field to Template:Cd's presets:
    • Determines whether the collision boxes of two entities must overlap for pushing to occur.
    • For format versions 1.26.40 and higher, this field defaults to Template:Cd.
    • For format versions below 1.26.40, this field defaults to Template:Cd.
  • Made the following changes to the Template:Cd component:

Minecraft:Features

  • Added content error when loading features with identifiers that already exist within the same behavior pack.

Graphical

  • Optimized FrameGraph topological sorting algorithm by replacing DFS-based approach with Kahn's algorithm for improved performance and clarity.

Minecraft:Item components

Items

  • Items declared with a Template:Cd of 1.26.30 or higher now require at least one entry under Template:Cd. Previously such items would silently fall back to legacy item parsing; they now fail to register with a content error.
  • Custom item definitions in resource packs now reliably override their Vanilla counterparts:
    • A custom definition using an older Template:Cd will now be applied on top of a Vanilla item that ships with Template:Cd 1.16+ (previously the custom data was silently dropped). In Vanilla this only affects Template:Cd and Template:Cd.

Minecraft:Sound events

Experimental

These additions and changes are accessible by enabling the "Beta APIs", "Upcoming Creator Features", "Experimental Voxel Shape Features" and new "Drop 3 of 2026" Minecraft:experimental toggles.

Technical

Minecraft:Add-ons

Minecraft:API

Blocks

  • When applying a Template:Cd value via console command, autocomplete suggestions will now correctly show numbers 0-15. Sixteen-way placement direction block trait now applies its rotation with the same orientation as existing Cardinal Direction and Facing Direction traits.

  • Block-entity's dynamic-properties stored on an item-stack can now be modified through the new Template:Cd method.

DDUI

  • Fixed the default behavior for close button bellow DDUI custom forms.

Graphical

  • Re-enabled colored block light migration to GPU as well as their influence on volumetric fog.

Items

  • Added a new loot function Template:Cd with a single boolean field Template:Cd defaulted to Template:Cd.
    • When looting a block with a block-entity and dynamic-properties, it will try to carry its dynamic-properties over to the created item-stack.
    • Requires "Upcoming Creator Features Experiment".

Minecraft:Jigsaw structures

  • A Jigsaw Structure's layout will now be persisted to disk if any intersecting chunks are saved. This makes partially saved Jigsaw Structures less prone to breaking because of configuration changes. The feature will be incrementally rolled out to online devices and Realms.

Minecraft:Sounds

  • Added a new Template:Cd payload to Template:Cd that lets behavior packs declare server-side sound definitions for sounds played from script.
    • Each definition can include an optional duration_info with a seconds length and a mode that controls how playback time is tracked.
    • A Template:Cd of Template:Cd means the duration is tracked by ticks.
    • A Template:Cd of Template:Cd means the duration is tracked by wall-clock time.

Voxel Shapes

  • Added occlusion voxel shapes for one-arm, two-arm, three-arm, four-arm, and full-arm wall connections. These shapes will be applied to all Wall variations when the Voxel Shapes experiment is enabled.
    • These shapes improve face culling so that hidden faces of custom blocks are correctly removed when attached to different Wall geometries: single posts, wall runs, corners, T-junctions, intersections, and wall clusters.
