Template:Infobox version Beta 26.30.25 (ChromeOS, Android), Preview 26.30.25 (Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Xbox), or Preview 26.30.26 (PlayStation), is the second beta/Preview for Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 26.30, released on April 30, 2026,<ref>Template:Cite</ref> or delayed on PlayStation, which adds Minecraft:geysers, the explosive Minecraft:sulfur cube archetype, and fixes bugs.

Changes

Blocks

Minecraft:Potent sulfur

• When placed above a Minecraft:magma block and under 1–4 water source blocks, it creates a Minecraft:geyser.
  • The geyser will erupt at 50 second intervals, shooting a plume of water particles upwards and applying an upward impulse to entities above it for 4–5 seconds.
  • Entities directly above the potent sulfur block during an eruption will be launched into the air, but will not take damage from the eruption.
  • The height of the plume and how high anything gets launched depends on the number of water blocks above the potent sulfur blocks, with the total height being about 7 blocks above the potent sulfur block for each water block.

Minecraft:Sulfur spike

• Re-added to the Creative inventory.
• Minecraft:Wandering traders can now sell sulfur spikes.
• Four sulfur spikes can now be used to craft one Minecraft:sulfur block.

Mobs

Minecraft:Sulfur cube

• Added the "Explosive" archetype, with similar properties to "Regular" except for a slightly higher air drag.
  • Used when absorbing a Minecraft:TNT block.
  • Absorbed TNT can be primed by Minecraft:redstone, fire sources (including a Minecraft:dispenser with a Minecraft:flint and steel) or nearby explosions.
  • When primed by fire or redstone, absorbed TNT uses a fuse time of 6 seconds.
  • When primed by an explosion, absorbed TNT uses a randomized fuse time between 0.75 and 3 seconds.
  • Sulfur cubes with an absorbed, primed TNT block cannot be picked up with a Minecraft:bucket, damaged, or sheared.
  • On explosion, no small sulfur cubes are spawned, and the sulfur cube disappears.
• Small sulfur cubes no longer occasionally spawn from Minecraft:buckets of sulfur cube.

• Minecraft:Sulfur springs once again generate above Minecraft:sulfur caves.

UI
