Beta 26.40.30 (ChromeOS, Android) or Preview 26.40.30 (Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Xbox, PlayStation) is the fifth beta/Preview for Bedrock Edition 26.40, released on July 6, 2026, for iOS and iPadOS, and on July 7, 2026, for all remaining devices,[1][2] which adds experimental straw beds and cushions, and fixes bugs.
Changes
Blocks
Brown mushroom and red mushroom
- Can no longer be placed under the sky when it is dark.
- Now generate on crimson nylium and warped nylium no matter the brightness.
- All vanilla stairs no longer have the block state
minecraft:corner.[note 1]
General
Graphical
- Updated supported devices for Vibrant Visuals on Android.
Technical
Actor Components
- Made schemas for the following components stricter when parsing and will fail to load an entity json that has invalid data in versions 1.26.40 and newer:
minecraft:cannot_be_attackedminecraft:floats_in_liquidminecraft:ignore_cannot_be_attackedminecraft:wants_jockey
- Released
LootItem.conditionsin@minecraft/server v2.4.0frombeta.
Blocks
- N-way rotation on geometry components no longer requires the Upcoming Creator Features experiment.
minecraft:sixteen_way_rotationstate on placement direction block trait no longer requires the Upcoming Creator Features experiment.- Jigsaw Block replacement will now log when an invalid
final_stateis encountered. - Added new biome decoration feature
minecraft:multi_block_feature, which can be used exclusively to place blocks defined with theminecraft:multi_blocktrait. - Released the
minecraft:instrument_soundcomponent frombeta.
- Using self selection expansion when using commands for non-operator players is now allowed.
Crafting
minecraft:recipe_smithing_transformnow accepts items tagged withminecraft:transform_materialsin itsadditionfield.
DDUI
- Added
ImageOptions.onClickandImageOptions.tooltip, which allow for a callback on click of an image and a tooltip on images for use withCustomForm.image.
Entity components
should_bounceboolean field of theminecraft:projectilecomponent is now an enum:no: the projectile never bounces (default).if_invulnerable: the projectile bounces only when the target is invulnerable to the damage source (e.g. creative mode, shield blocking).if_no_damage_dealt: the projectile bounces whenever no damage was dealt, regardless of the reason (invulnerability, damage sensor, invulnerability frames).- Content authored against earlier format versions is automatically upgraded when loaded in 1.26.40 or later:
truebecomesif_invulnerableandfalsebecomesno.
Graphical
- Tightened the anti-x-ray trigger box to avoid false-positive cases when riding a mob.
- The MERS textures for following baby mobs and rabbits are now visible:
- Baby Humanoid Chainmail Armor
- Baby Dolphin
- Baby Fox
- Baby Goat
- Baby Hoglin
- Baby Panda
- Baby Warm Pig
- Baby Zombified Piglin
- Snifflet
JSON Schema
- Updated generated Minecraft JSON Schema files to use a more granular schema layout instead of producing one self-contained schema file per registered type. This reduces duplicated schema content and makes the generated schemas easier to consume with external tools.
- Added binary-protocol metadata to generated SharedTypes JSON Schemas, including ordinal index, control value type, underlying type, and serialization options. This gives tools more information about the binary layout of the objects described by the JSON Schemas.
Mobs
- Tamed baby wolves' collars now have a proper MERS texture.
