Fixes
From released versions before 26.2
- MC-223248 – Spore blossom particles gradually disappear/lessen until the world is reloaded.
- MC-306460 – The game window is one pixel too tall in fullscreen mode.
- MC-307382 – Screenshots taken in fullscreen mode on Windows are one pixel too tall.
From the 26.2 development versions
- MC-308063 – The client still thinks commands are enabled when enabling multiplayer with commands and disabling it.
- MC-308097 – The "Server Links..." button in the game menu looks out of place.
- MC-308174 – Hitboxes of item entities render from farther away than the item entities themselves.
- MC-308337 – The "Friends Screen" key bind doesn't work when set to a mouse button.
- MC-308339 – Visual glitches occur in the particle effects when plenty of continuous geysers erupt simultaneously.
From the previous development version
- MC-308579 – Charging a crossbow with Multishot level 32 or higher crashes the game.
- MC-308583 – The block breaking animation no longer renders when breaking most mob heads.
- MC-308584 – The block breaking animation z-fights with blocks with the Vulkan rendering backend (and rarely with the OpenGL backend).

- MC-308592 – Switching gamemode with F3 + F4 applies F4 keybind.
