Minecraft PE 1.26.10.25 [Beta]
![Minecraft PE 1.26.10.25 [Beta]](https://new.planet-mc.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/pe-1.26.10.25.webp)
Another week, another Preview. Minecraft 1.26.10.25 lands on Android with seven targeted tweaks and 31 bug fixes that mostly babysit the baby mobs. Highlights: Zombie baby heads no longer look like balloons, the “Describe” function finally gets an honest name (“Identify Block”), and Name Tags become semi-rare trade goods instead of librarian handouts. 61 technical changes under the hood for add-on makers. Backup your worlds—this is still experimental.
The Seven Changes That Matter
- Baby Mob Head Rescaling: Zombie, Drowned, and Husk babies finally got proportional skulls. Previously their heads were massive collision boxes that clipped through doors; now they match Java Edition aesthetics and actually fit through 1-block gaps without visual popping.
- “Identify Block” Rename: The vague “Describe” function is now clearly labeled “Identify Block” in the UI. New players stop wondering why their controller button “describes” stone instead of mining it. Pure UX sanity.
- Vibrant Visuals Light Shading: Particles in the Vibrant Visuals experimental toggle now receive proper light occlusion. Torch-lit caves show volumetric dust motes; sunlight beams actually darken when entering shadows instead of glowing like radioactive pollen.
- Name Tag Economy Overhaul: Major shift in acquisition:
- Removed: Librarian villager trades (no more infinite tag farms)
- New source: Wandering Trader sells single Name Tags for 1 Emerald—limited stock, rng-based appearance
- Removed from loot: Ancient Cities and Woodland Mansions chests no longer hold free tags
Impact: Naming your pets just got expensive. Early-game mob preservation requires either emerald mining or luck with the wandering hat.
- Unified Inventory Search: Survival and Creative modes now share the same search algorithm. Filters like “@fire” correctly display Fire Charge, Campfire, and Firework Rocket in both modes without inconsistent omissions. Quality-of-life for Redstone engineers who swap gamemodes frequently.
31 Bug Fixes — Hitboxes, Skins & Spawners
| Category | Fix Details |
|---|---|
| Cosmetics | Classic skins no longer render as invisible/empty textures. Legacy Steve/Alex presets display correctly on first login. |
| Crafting Logic | Andesite, Diorite, and Granite can no longer be stonecut into Cobblestone blocks—preventing accidental material waste and recipe confusion. |
| Marketplace | Fixed loading of add-ons from the in-game Marketplace when an active Realms subscription exists. No more “Content owned but not downloadable” errors. |
| Trial Chambers | Trial Spawners no longer overspawn mobs during lag spikes. Entity count caps are now enforced server-side to prevent client crashes in multiplayer. |
| Entities | Baby Glow Squids now emit actual light levels (3 luminance) instead of being decorative dark blobs. |
| Armor | Armor Trim patterns are now visible on all custom skins—previously clipped or invisible on certain geometry templates. |
| Textures | Patched the missing texture hole on Sniffer’s snout—no more purple-black checkerboard during digging animations. |
| Copper Golem | Copper Golems now correctly pick up Thrown Tridents, regular Spears, and Crossbows from the ground—full weapon janitor duty restored. |
| Rabbit AI | Rabbits no longer teleport-hop when damaged mid-air; they follow proper velocity arcs and flee directions. Also fixed: rabbits jumping through each other during breeding—no more quantum rabbit entanglement. |
| Camel Animation | Baby Camels play accelerated flee animations when hurt—matching their smaller stride length instead of using adult slow-motion. |
| Vehicle Mounting | Mobs sit properly in Boats and on rideable mounts—no more floating half-a-block above the seat or clipping through hulls. |
| Zombie Villagers | Fixed texture mirroring on adult and baby Zombie Villagers—clothing patterns now render correctly on left/right limbs. |
| Panda Physics | Baby Pandas no longer hover in mid-air while panicking—they actually touch ground blocks during flee AI. |
| Squid Growth | Squids and Glow Squids now mature into proper adult hitboxes; baby variants no longer stay miniature forever in unloaded chunks. |
| Accessibility | Subtitle captions properly describe the new directional cat purrs and baby camel steps. |
| UI | Additional scaling fixes for narrow aspect ratios (19:9 foldables)—button padding adjusted. |

BETA WARNING: 1.26.10.25 is a Preview build. The Name Tag economy changes are experimental—Mojang may revert pricing if feedback is brutal. Copper Golem weapon collection is still flaky in multiplayer. Save your worlds before installing; spawner fixes affect Trial Chamber chunk generation.
