Minecraft 26.3 Snapshot 3 patch notes: Straw Bed, Cushion, and more revealed

Mojang has released Minecraft 26.3 Snapshot 3, introducing new features focused on player comfort, including the Cushion and the Straw Bed. The Cushion is a placeable item available in 16 colors, crafted from three wool slabs of the same hue. It can be placed on any flat surface, allowing players to sit down, and aligns with the grid while overlapping with most objects. Cushions will break if their supporting block is removed. The Straw Bed allows players to sleep through the night without setting a spawn point and is single-use, being destroyed after use. It cannot be used in the Nether or The End and is crafted from three hay bales, yielding four beds. A new statistic tracks the number of times players have slept in a Straw Bed. Additional features include Gothic language support, a new command (/posteffect) for adding or removing post-processing shader effects, data-driven custom brewing recipes, and a new minecraft:number_provider registry for flexible data-driven systems. Bug fixes in this snapshot address various gameplay issues, including problems with Drowned entities, rendering issues on macOS, and inconsistencies in GUI elements.
