Minecraft 26.1 Snapshot 11

March 4, 2026

As the week unfolds, the shipping room is abuzz with anticipation for the latest 26.1 snapshot. This iteration promises to elevate the gaming experience with a focus on refinement and enhancements across various features, technical adjustments, and essential bug fixes. Enthusiasts are encouraged to dive into the mining adventure that awaits.

Known Issue

Players may encounter an issue where minimizing the game while in Fullscreen mode (using Alt + Tab, for instance) prevents it from being maximized again.

Changes

Textures for both adult and baby Rabbits have been aligned for consistency with the newly introduced textures.
Pigs now have distinct sound variants that include eating sounds.
Baby Goats exhibit head rotation when they ram.
The mane of the Baby Hoglin has been updated to appear on both sides of its body texture.
Corrections have been made to the back texture of the baby Panda’s head.

Trades

The Master Librarian has adjusted its offerings, no longer providing Name Tags.
New items available from the Master Librarian include Red Candles and Yellow Candles, priced at three Emeralds each.
The Wandering Trader now offers Name Tags for just one Emerald.

Sounds

The trumpet note block sound assets have received an update for improved auditory experience.

Technical Changes

The Data Pack version has been updated to 100.
The Resource Pack version is now at 83.

Data Pack Version 100

Pig Sound Variants

Customization for eating sounds is now supported through the new eat_sound field in big variant sound sets.

Game Test Environments

Timeline Attributes

timeline_attributes definitions have been added, allowing for the configuration of multiple timelines.

Block States

The rotation property in the default block state of Banners and Signs has been modified from 0 to 8.

Developer’s Note: This adjustment aligns the default orientation of these blocks with others, such as Skulls and Dispensers, as the default block state is utilized in limited contexts, notably /setblock without properties.

Loot Tables

Name Tags have been removed from loot found in Ancient Cities and Woodland Mansions.

World Generation

A new type of block state provider, rulebasedstate_provider, has been introduced.

This type, previously parsed separately, is now a sub-type of block state providers, allowing for broader application in feature configurations.
Format includes:

fallback – an optional block state provider.
rules – a list of rules that includes:

if_true – a block predicate that checks the block position before providing the block.
then – a block state provider.

Resource Pack Version 83

The item model format now accommodates transformations for individual sub-models.

Sounds

New sound events for pigs have been introduced, including:

entity.baby_pig.eat
entity.pig_mini.eat
entity.pig_big.eat
entity.pig.eat

Item Models

Item model types such as minecraft:model, minecraft:special, minecraft:rangedispatch, minecraft:composite, minecraft:select, and minecraft:condition now feature transformation fields.

These fields follow the same format as the transformation field on the minecraft:display entity, which can be either an array of 16 numbers or a structure with decomposed translation, scale, and rotation information.
For types with children, transformations will be composed with those of the children, except for minecraft:bundle/selected_item.
Model transformations will be applied after item display transformations.

Transformations for certain special item models have been extracted to the item models themselves, affecting types such as:

minecraft:bed
minecraft:banner
minecraft:conduit
minecraft:coppercolemstatue
minecraft:head
minecraft:player_head
minecraft:shulker_box
minecraft:shield
minecraft:trident
minecraft:standing_sign
minecraft:hanging_sign

minecraft:bell Special Model Type

A new special model type has been introduced to render the animated part of a Bell block.
This type does not require any fields.

minecraft:book Special Model Type

A new special model type for rendering a book, typically part of the Enchanting Table and Lectern, has been added.
Fields include:

open_angle – the angle (in degrees) between the book cover and centerline (0 means closed, 90 means fully open).
page1, page2 – positions of the two pages inside the book, where 0.0 indicates the leftmost position and 1.0 indicates the rightmost position.

minecraft:bed Special Model Type

This model now renders only one half of the Bed.
To display both halves, a minecraft:composite model should be used.
New fields include:

part – options include head or foot.

minecraft:banner Special Model Type

A new field has been added:

attachment – selects a model to be used, with options for wall or ground, defaulting to ground.

minecraft:chest Special Model Type

A new field has been introduced:

chesttype – selects a model to be used, with options for single, left, or right, defaulting to single.

minecraft:hanging_sign Special Model Type

A new field has been added:

attachment – selects a model to be used, with options for wall, ceiling, or ceilingmiddle, defaulting to ceilingmiddle.

minecraft:standing_sign Special Model Type

A new field has been added:

attachment – selects a model to be used, with options for wall or ground, defaulting to ground.

minecraft:shulker_box Special Model Type

The orientation field has been removed.

Block State Rendering

Adjustments have been made to the rendering of block states in various contexts, including Enderman-held blocks and Block Display entities:

The Enchanting Table will now display a closed book on top.
Blocks using special renderers (like Chests, Banners, and Skulls) will now respect block state properties:

Rendering will consider the rotation and facing properties, where applicable.
Beds will render only one half of the model based on the part property.
Copper Golem Statues will respect the coppergolempose property.
Wall and freestanding Signs, Hanging Signs, Banners, and Skulls/Heads will now have distinct models.
Chests will respect part properties, where applicable.

In general, all block states should maintain consistent rendering on Block Displays as they do in the world, with exceptions for:

Fluids
End Gateway
End Portal
