Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 26.60

From SAS Gaming Wiki

Template:Infobox version 26.60, also known as 1.26.60, is an upcoming minor update for Template:BE set to release on October 27, 2026, which adds experimental features for the fourth drop of 2026 and fixes bugs.

This is the first full release of Bedrock Edition for Nintendo Switch 2, after a closed beta of the native version was available.<ref name="switch1">Template:Mcnet</ref> As opposed to the original Nintendo Switch version, which is backward-compatible with Nintendo Switch 2, this native version includes Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, and an increase of the regular render distance to 28 chunks.

Together with this release, the Minecraft:Super Mario Mash-up, bundled with Nintendo platforms, will be updated for Vibrant Visuals. Additionally, newly purchased Minecraft:Minecoins will no longer be cross-platform available between Nintendo platforms and other platforms.<ref name="switch2">Template:Mcnet</ref>

Minecraft:Block components

Blocks

  • Introduced the Template:Cd event that custom components can listen to.
    • A block can schedule a named tick with Template:Cd, which takes a name and tick delay as parameters.
    • A block can check if at least one named tick is already scheduled with Template:Cd, which takes a name as sole parameter.
    • A block can remove all scheduled named ticks matching a name with Template:Cd, which takes a name as sole parameter.
    • When handling the event from Template:Cd, Template:Cd can be leveraged to filter out events based on their name.
    • Named ticks are grouped by content packs, two content packs can schedule the same named tick, but Template:Cd will return differently based on the content pack calling the method.
    • Up to 4 named ticks can be scheduled at a given time on the same block position.
    • The name of a scheduled named tick cannot be longer than 31 characters.
    • Changing the block at a position wipes its scheduled named ticks.
    • Changing the permutation at a position does not wipe its scheduled named ticks.
  • Template:Cd will no longer accept single box objects from v1.26.60 onwards in favor of only using arrays.
  • Added an optional Template:Cd field to container in the Template:Cd block component, accepting literal text or localization keys of 1 to 256 characters with Upcoming Creator Features enabled; omitting the field leaves the container heading blank.
  • Data-driven container titles now stay on one line and truncate with ... when needed in Classic and Pocket UI, including after localization.
  • Added experimential block components, which require format version 1.26.60 and the Upcoming Creator Features experiment:
    • Added the experimental Template:Cd block component, which defines whether a block can transmit enchantment power. If set to true and a block with this component is placed in the 1 block gap between an Minecraft:enchanting table and a Minecraft:bookshelf, the enchantment table will remain powered by the bookshelf.
    • Added the experimental Template:Cd block component, which defines whether a custom block dampens or occludes vibrations through the Template:Cd and Template:Cd properties.
    • Added the experimental Template:Cd block component, which lets creators configure which neighboring block changes trigger the neighbor change after event for block custom components.
  • Added the beta Template:Cd event for custom block components.
    • Use Template:Cd to choose which neighboring directions trigger the event.
    • Call Template:Cd to get the neighboring block changes.
    • For each tick, the game queues one event for each listening block with neighbor changes. Changes from different ticks create separate events, even if delivery is delayed.
    • Each chunk queues at most 4,096 events and delivers at most 100 events per tick. New events are dropped while the queue is full.
    • Template:Cd returns one Template:Cd for each direction that changed during the tick.
    • If one direction changes more than once during a tick, Template:Cd contains the permutation before the first change and Template:Cd contains the permutation after the last change. Intermediate permutations are not included.
    • Template:Cd points from the listening block to the neighbor that changed.
    • Template:Cd is a live handle to the listening block. The permutations returned by Template:Cd are snapshots of the changed neighbor.
    • If the block does not have Template:Cd, changes from all neighboring directions can trigger the event.

Minecraft:Commands

  • Added new overloads to the Template:Cmd command for more control of the Overworld clock under the Creator World Clocks Features experiment.
  • The Template:Cmd command now makes the item plops sound when the object is put in your inventory.
  • Replaced Template:Cmd with Template:Cmd under the Creator World Clocks Features experiment.
    • Sets the Overworld clock to the occurrence of the time marker. By default this is next and works the same as the old Template:Cd variation.

Minecraft:Custom dimensions

  • Added the Template:Cd component, letting custom dimensions configure the height at which clouds render. No component means clouds do not render.

DDUI

  • Added support for multi button row at message box in beta. Button layout could be vertical or horizontal.
  • New interface Template:Cd:
    • Field Template:Cd: Sets the desired layout for the buttons, true for horizontal, false for vertical. Default value is false.
  • Class Template:Cd:
    • New constructor optional parameter Template:Cd.
    • New method Template:Cd. Allows to add a third button to the message box.
