Build 26.60.28TestingMinecraft 26.60

Updated 22 Sep 2026

This beta makes redstone connect to custom blocks and stops hoppers from dropping items when you fill or set blocks. Realms get new setup for unused subscriptions, and the HUD now shows weaker effects when stronger ones run out. A few crashes and interface glitches are also fixed.

What changed in beta 26.60.28?

Gameplay

  • Red and Brown Mushrooms now need a block in the center to support them.

Mobs

  • Sheep no longer get stuck in their eating animation.

Graphics

  • Removed the remaining days section from the Realms Hub Subscription Tab.

Interface

  • The Show More button in Classic Skins and Marketplace Pass lists now hides after all offers are loaded.
  • Profile stats no longer load forever on the achievements page from the pause menu.

How to join the Minecraft beta

  1. Android: Open Minecraft in the Google Play Store, scroll down to “Join the beta” and tap Join. The beta replaces your normal Minecraft after the next update. To leave, tap Leave in the same place.
  2. iPhone & iPad: The beta is called Minecraft Preview and runs through Apple’s TestFlight app. Places are limited and open now and then, so it is often full.
  3. Windows: Install Minecraft Preview from the Minecraft Launcher. It is a separate app with its own worlds, so your normal game stays as it is.
