Build 1.26.70.24
Minecraft 26.70.24 is a Beta and Preview build released for testing on November 10, 2026. It contains experimental Drop 4 features, gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and technical changes for creators. Because this is a work-in-progress build, it may be less stable than the standard release.
Invisible Armor setting
A new world setting lets players hide equipped armor using an eye button in the inventory. Hidden armor becomes visible for five seconds after the player takes damage. Elytra, mob heads, and carved pumpkins remain visible. Creators can also control the feature with the invisibleArmor game rule.
Gameplay and visual changes
- Boats no longer crack Brittle Ice while occupied.
- Ice Balls thrown by players no longer inflict critical damage.
- Undead mobs are now immune to freezing from Powder Snow and the Freezing effect.
- Players can place blocks against Cauldrons without sneaking.
- Vibrant Visuals is available on additional Android devices, including devices using Mali Ultra GPUs.
- Nintendo Switch 2 gains Joy-Con Mouse Mode support and related settings.
Fixes and stability
The build corrects closed captions, block sounds, Creative inventory ordering, Trident rendering, Marketplace screens, and several Dressing Room issues. Mojang also fixed crashes involving resource packs, Nether structure generation, biome data, and Nintendo Switch migration. A Windows startup issue that could leave the game stuck at 73% was addressed.
Changes for creators
Technical updates include fixes for command execution and behavior-pack dependencies, expanded Editor tools, and additional Script API features. Experimental additions include virtual containers and a configurable climbable block component.
How to access the test build
The beta is available to enrolled Android users through Google Play. Preview builds are provided separately on Xbox, PlayStation, Windows, and iOS. Back up important worlds before testing, since preview versions may contain bugs and worlds opened in them may not work correctly in older builds.
