A new Minecraft Java 26.2 snapshot is here!

We are back again with a third snapshot for 26.2, today we are bringing you sulfur spikes to test out! These sharp blocks grow in sulfur caves, adding a colorful, pointy touch to your builds! But watch out – falling sulfur spikes sure pack a puncture!

Happy Mining!

New Features

Sulfur Spike

  • Is a new block that generates naturally on Sulfur blocks inside the sulfur caves biome
  • Forms a stalactite if placed on the ceiling or a stalagmite if placed on the floor
  • Can be combined to form longer stalactites & stalagmites
  • Stalactites and stalagmites merge if the tips are next to each other, unless you press shift while placing
  • Stalagmites will break if they’re not attached to something below
  • Stalactites fall down if not attached to something above
  • Being hit by a falling stalactite hurts, and they are sharp!
  • Thrown Tridents break Sulfur Spike

Changes

  • The Potent Sulfur block no longer crafts back into Sulfur blocks
  • Updated the textures for the following blocks:
    • Chiseled Cinnabar
    • Chiseled Sulfur
    • Cinnabar
    • Cinnabar Bricks
    • Polished Cinnabar
    • Polished Sulfur
    • Sulfur Bricks

Sulfur Cube mob

  • Can no longer be picked up by Boats

Sounds

  • Updated sounds for Nautilus jets and Nautilus recovers

Technical Changes

  • The Data Pack version is now 102.0
  • The Resource Pack version is now 86.0

Data Pack Version 102.0

Block Entity Data

  • The minecraft:bed block entity has been removed

Predicates

Entity Predicates

Entity predicate format has changed from a structure with multiple optional fields to one similar to data component maps.

For example, previously effects was an optional field:

{
    "effects": {...}
}

In this version it has become a component-like sub-predicate entry:

{
    "minecraft:effects": {...}
}

The main functional changes are:

  • All keys in entity predicates are now identifiers
    • Since identifiers can be written without namespace (default to minecraft namespace), existing field names are still valid
    • Exception: field type has been renamed to minecraft:entity_type
  • Unrecognized sub-predicate components are now rejected (previously unknown fields were ignored)

Existing type-specific sub-predicates have been renamed and moved to top-level.

  • minecraft:lightning to minecraft:type_specific/lightning
  • minecraft:fishing_hook to minecraft:type_specific/fishing_hook
  • minecraft:player to minecraft:type_specific/player
  • minecraft:raider to minecraft:type_specific/raider
  • minecraft:sheep to minecraft:type_specific/sheep
  • minecraft:slime to minecraft:cube_mob as it now includes Sulfur Cubes in addition to Slimes and Magma Cubes

For example:

{
  "type_specific": {
    "type": "minecraft:player",
    "looking_at": {
      "type": "minecraft:ender_dragon"
    }
  }
}

becomes

{
  "minecraft:type_specific/player": {
    "looking_at": {
      "minecraft:type": "minecraft:ender_dragon"
    }
  }
}
Added minecraft:entity_tags entity sub-predicate

This predicate matches entity tags (i.e. ones set with the /tag command).

Fields:

  • any_of – optional list of strings, if present the matched entity must have at least one of the listed tags
  • all_of – optional list of strings, if present the matched entity must have all the listed tags
  • none_of – optional list of strings, if present the matched entity must have none of the listed tags

World Generation

Overworld Features

  • Adjusted Feature Type lake
    • Added field can_place_feature – Block Predicate, describes which blocks this feature can be placed on
    • Added field can_replace_with_air_or_fluid – Block Predicate, describes which blocks this feature can replace with air or the provided fluid block
    • Added field can_replace_with_barrier – Block Predicate, describes which blocks this feature can replace with the provided barrier block

Tags

  • Added #speleothems for blocks which are speleothems like Pointed Dripstone and Sulfur Spike

Fixed bugs in 26.2 Snapshot 3

  • MC-229057 – Picking up an axolotl with a lead attached destroys the lead

  • MC-302496 – Glowing dragon fireballs no longer show the glowing outline
  • MC-307177 – Enabling JFR profiling causes the client to crash on startup
  • MC-307227 – Using an empty Offers NBT tag to disable trades doesn’t work after a relog/data merge
  • MC-307289 – Polished sulfur is named “Polished Sulfur Block”, which is inconsistent with all other polished stone blocks
  • MC-307291 – The game crashes when an entity with the friction_modifier attribute set to 2.5 moves
  • MC-307298 – Sulfur cubes with blocks inside them produce footstep sounds when moving across the ground

  • MC-307315 – Frogs try to eat large magma cubes now
  • MC-307316 – Magma cubes no longer drop magma cream
  • MC-307340 – The bottom face of slimes’ outer layer z-fights with the ground
  • MC-307347 – Releasing a sulfur cube from a bucket and killing it does not cause it to drop its held block
  • MC-307357 – Sulfur cubes don’t emit light when holding a glowing block
  • MC-307371 – The #sulfur_cube_archetype/fast_flat item tag contains pumpkin twice
  • MC-307405 – When picking up a leashed sulfur cube with a bucket, the lead disappears
  • MC-307420 – The game now renders fluid faces that should not be rendered
  • MC-307473 – The block breaking texture on bamboo stalks is now always displayed centered
  • MC-307483 – Emptying a sulfur cube bucket underwater doesn’t place the sulfur cube at the targeted block

Minecraft 26.2 Snapshot 3 Memory Requirements & Player Slots

  • Memory Guideline
    To avoid lag or memory errors, order a minimum of 3GB of memory. If you are playing with friends or planning on hosting a public server consider ordering 4GB or more. You won't know your exact requirements until you start building and getting more players on. Don't worry you can quickly upgrade your memory as your server grows. Follow this guide if you need to upgrade.

  • Recommended Max Players is our best guess on how many slots gives good performance per GigaByte of memory. It relates to how many players can join before running into lag or out-of-memory errors. Newer servers with lots of mods/plugins will have less players per GB, you won't know exactly how many players until your server gets busy. You have Unlimited Slots, set this in the control panel, use your slots wisely. It's a guideline not set in bedrock!
