Download Minecraft PE 26.60.21 [Beta]

Minecraft PE 26.60.21 is Bedrock Beta/Preview 26.60.21 released on September 2, 2026. It does not launch a new drop. It tightens abandoned camps, humid-cave placement, pistons and Realms in the 26.60 line. Before installing this test package on your mobile device, make a full backup of your save files; step-by-step instructions are available in our help section.

Where lush caves win over dripstone and sulfur

Underground world generation in humid climate regions has been adjusted. Lush cave biomes now take priority over dripstone and sulfur caves whenever the world generator builds subterranean spaces under high-humidity surface areas. This changes how underground cave systems form under jungles and swamps.

If you want to test these new underground environments right after spawning, check out our collection of custom seeds. Along with terrain changes, skulk sensors now correctly track vibration frequencies from falling snow, and fireballs no longer cause unwanted ignition when hitting non-flammable targets.

Camp loot, explorer map names, cushion sit height

Abandoned camps in swamp biomes received two distinct fixes to clean up their appearance. Mycelium blocks have been completely removed from camp grounds to keep the biome visually consistent. In addition, standalone coarse dirt blocks were removed from swamp camp structures. Opening a camp chest for the first time no longer causes minor frame drops during loot table generation.

Shelf mushroom models were reworked to align with Java Edition textures, removing unseen internal faces. Explorer maps no longer use generic labels and now explicitly name their targets:

• Ocean Explorer Map is now Ocean Monument Map;
• Swamp Explorer Map is now Swamp Hut Map;
• Woodland Explorer Map is now Woodland Mansion Map.

Players looking to expand these mechanics with custom structures can browse community-made addons to enhance world exploration.

What pistons and Wind Burst no longer throw

Piston physics now adhere to a unified movement rule: a piston pushes or damages an entity only if that entity can normally be moved by solid blocks. Command execution using /fill or /setblock on levers and redstone components no longer leaves piston arms stuck in an extended state.

Maces enchanted with Wind Burst no longer launch non-living transport or furniture items into the air—minecarts, boats, and cushions remain grounded. Other gameplay adjustments include:

• Tipped and regular arrows without potion effects stop bouncing off targets when damage is fully absorbed by armor or resistance.
• Fall damage calculation triggers precisely when contacting a solid block, even if the landing occurs at the edge of a water block.
• Fully grown horses can no longer squeeze through narrow 2×1 passages.
• Block outlines remain visible when targeted, even if a mob stands directly on top of the block.

Realms billing screens and the Vibrant Visuals distance warning

When Vibrant Visuals mode is active, the game client displays a clear performance warning whenever render distance is set beyond safe hardware limits. If you encounter performance drops, consider switching to lighter custom shaders tuned for mobile GPUs.

Realms features updated auto-renewal disclosure screens for Switch users, subscription expiration notices, and unlinked subscription restoration options. Players can also join specific Realms directly via deep links.
