Template:Infobox version


26.2-snapshot-1 (26.2 Snapshot 1) is the first snapshot for Minecraft:Java Edition 26.2, released on April 7, 2026,<ref>Template:Mcnet</ref> which adds the sulfur caves, sulfur cube, Minecraft:sulfur and Minecraft:cinnabar block sets, and an experimental Vulkan renderer.

Additions

Blocks

File:Cinnabar.png Minecraft:Cinnabar (and its block family)

File:Potent Sulfur.png Potent sulfur

  • Generates naturally in water pools inside the sulfur caves biome.
  • Produces bubbles which rise up to 4 water source blocks above it.
  • When placed underneath up to 4 water source blocks, it generates a cloud of nausea-causing gas on the water surface.
    • This cloud spreads across adjacent water with a maximum radius of 3 blocks.
  • Can be crafted from 9 Minecraft:sulfur blocks.
  • The potent sulfur block can be crafted into 4 sulfur blocks.

Items

File:Bucket of Sulfur Cube JE1 BE1.png Bucket of sulfur cube

File:Sulfur Cube Spawn Egg JE1 BE1.png Sulfur cube spawn egg

  • Added sulfur cube spawn egg.

Mobs

File:Sulfur Cube JE1.png File:Sulfur Cube JE1.pngSulfur cube

  • Spawns in the new sulfur caves biome.
  • When a player interacts with it while holding a block, the sulfur cube will absorb the block and disable its AI.
  • With a block inside, a player can also interact with the sulfur cube while holding Minecraft:shears to shear the block.
    • This enables its AI.
  • The sulfur cube will follow a player holding a block it can absorb.
  • The sulfur cube can also look for block items nearby and move towards them to absorb them.
  • When killed, the sulfur cube splits into two smaller sulfur cubes.
  • The small sulfur cube can be tempted and fed with Minecraft:slimeballs to grow them into large sulfur cubes.
  • With a block inside, the sulfur cube will not take any fall or player damage and will become a physical object that players can interact with by punching and pushing.
  • A large sulfur cube can be picked up using an empty Minecraft:bucket.
  • Minecraft:Dispensers can now equip and swap blocks inside a sulfur cube, as well as shear it with shears to remove the block it is holding.
  • Dispensers can spawn a sulfur cube from a bucket of sulfur cube.
  • With a block inside, it will assume one of the archetypes (listed below) and change its physical properties to match the block it absorbs:
    • Each archetype is characterized by the speed of the ball when hit, how bouncy it is when colliding with blocks and collidable entities, as well as its ground friction, air drag and if it floats in liquids
    • There are the following archetypes:
      • Regular: medium speed, medium bounciness, medium ground friction and low air drag.
      • Bouncy: fast speed, high bounciness, medium ground friction and low air drag.
        • It is buoyant.
        • Used when absorbing wooden blocks.
      • Slow Flat: slow speed, low bounciness, medium ground friction and medium air drag.
      • Fast Flat: fast speed, low bounciness, medium ground friction and low air drag.
        • Used when absorbing organic blocks.
      • Light: slow speed, high bounciness, medium ground friction and high air drag.
      • Fast Sliding: fast speed, no bounciness, low ground friction and low air drag.
        • Used when absorbing icy blocks.
      • Slow Sliding: slow speed, no bounciness, low ground friction and low air drag.
        • Used when absorbing shroom blocks.
    • There are also two special archetypes:
      • High Resistance: very slow, low drag with low bounce with high friction.
        • Used when absorbing soul sand and soul soil.
      • Sticky: same properties as a golf ball, but sticks with extremely high ground friction and no bounce to simulate stickiness.
        • Used when absorbing honeycomb block.

World generation

Sulfur caves

  • Added sulfur caves underground biome.
  • Generates naturally underground and inside hills or mountains.
  • Has bands of Minecraft:sulfur and Minecraft:cinnabar.
  • Spawns the sulfur cube mob as well as cave spiders.

Sulfur spring

  • Is a new feature which generates naturally above the sulfur caves biome.
  • Consists of sulfur, potent sulfur and magma blocks.
  • Sulfur springs come in 4 different size variants:
    • Small
    • Medium

    • Extra Large

Vulkan Support

  • As previously announced, it is intended to switch the game from OpenGL to Vulkan.
  • Vulkan is not supported by older hardware or drivers – OpenGL will be used as a fallback on those cases.
  • The current requirement is Vulkan 1.2 with dynamic rendering and push descriptors, but this requirement may increase or decrease over time.
  • Currently an experimental rendering backend, and may not be as performant or stable.
  • Under Vulkan, it is preferred the player's dedicated graphics card over any integrated graphics, which is a change from OpenGL.
  • The player can see which backend is being used in the F3 debug overlay (in the system_specs section).
  • On macOS, MoltenVK is used to translate Vulkan to Metal.

Changes

Mobs

Hoglin and Zoglin

  • Fixed baby hoglin's and zoglin's left ear texture so it's properly mirrored.

Command format

General
