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 natural blocks. It also adds [[Minecraft:stairs]] and [[Minecraft:slabs]] for [[Minecraft:wool]] and [[Minecraft:concrete]], [[Minecraft:cushion]]s, and [[Minecraft:straw bed]]s alongside a new structure, the [[Minecraft:abandoned camp]]. It was announced at [[Minecraft:Minecraft Live – May 2026]].
