We've got an exciting release for you today – because alongside chaos and cubes in testing, we have Closed Captions coming in this release! Closed Captions have been a hotly requested feature – and now you can try it out for yourself alongside customisable positioning of the captions, duration, and sounds. Alongside this we've made some sound fixes and tweaks to the baby mobs after our Tiny Takeover drop, some texture and geometry fixes, and more. And don't forget there's plenty to test from our upcoming Chaos Cubed drop – including its hero mob, the sulfur cube, the home of said curious cube, the sulfur caves, plus sulfur springs and potent sulfur! With so much to talk about, we'd better dive in!
Chaos Cubed - Experimental Features
- Please note: These features are still in development and may change. The physics for the Sulfur Cube is still a work in progress, and the directional knockback behavior is not fully implemented yet. Please keep sending us your feedback and bug reports!
Sulfur Cubes
- Sulfur Cubes are a new mob coming to Minecraft with a curious appetite for... blocks! Found in Sulfur caves, this curious mob transforms depending on which block the player feeds it. Experiment and discover how to send Sulfur Cubes bouncing, sliding, and more!
- When the Sulfur Cube is hit by a Player its knockback is now affected by the attacker's hit angle, position and damage
- When it is hit on the left it moves to the right and vice versa
- When it is hit on the top it moves along the ground
- When it is hit on the bottom it moves higher upwards
- When it is hit with a greater damage it is knocked back more
- When the attacker is positioned higher it moves downwards
- When the attacker is positioned lower it moves upwards
Sulfur Springs
- Found across the Overworld, you'll know if you've spotted a Sulfur pool thanks to its Sulfur and Cinnabar blocks – and the noxious gas coming from it! But dig beneath these and you'll discover a Sulfur cave, filled with new blocks to mine and a new mob to meet!
Potent Sulfur
- Potent Sulfur is a new block you can use to create bubbling hot pools! Place potent Sulfur beneath water and you'll soon spy bubble columns, as well as puffs of noxious gas. Build with caution – noxious gas will trigger nausea in players and nearby mobs!
Sulfur Caves
- Discover this new cave type, with shallow pools of water and glow lichen. Sulfur caves are filled with yellow blocks of Sulfur, red blocks of Cinnabar, and a curious mob called the Sulfur Cube!
New Block Sets
- You'll find two new block sets in Sulfur caves – Cinnabar and Sulfur! These new blocks allow you to add rich reds and yellows into your builds, and each comes with its own full block set. Cobble them, craft with them, turn them into stairs or bricks – the choice is yours!

- Added maximumRenderDistance property to DebugShape .
- Added maximumRenderDistance property to PrimitiveShape .
- The default render distance used by DebugShape and PrimitiveShape is now your client's render distance, instead of infinity.

Audio
- Fixed an issue where content packs that override entity sound events without defining variants could incorrectly clear the variant key from the base sounds.json, causing content warnings during loading.
Biomes
- Added minecraft:subsurface_builder field to Biome Json API
- Sub Surface Builders allow specifying a minecraft:surface_builder to be applied to biomes located underneath the Overworld's terrain surface. Note, however, that pre-existing surface builder types' processing have not been updated to accommodate the ability to specify them for sub-terrain height ranges, which may lead to unexpected results when using them.
- Added minecraft:noise_gradient sub surface builder type, which places continuous bands of blocks according to a noise distribution. This surface builder's processing has been implemented with sub-terrain height ranges in mind.
- This surface builder has the following parameters:
- non_replaceable_blocks: a list of blocks that the surface builder is not allowed to replace. Leaving this list empty or unspecified will allow the replacement of any (non-air or non-liquid) block type.
- gradient_blocks: a list of block names that will be sampled according to a Perlin noise distribution. Specifying minecraft:air-blocks is permitted, and will result in the original block not being replaced, meaning it is possible to adjust the density/intensity of block replacement in the biome using this surface builder type.
- This surface builder has the following parameters:
Blocks
- Fixed issue causing items with item lock component to be put in decorated pots (MCPE-184636)
- For format_version >= 1.26.20 the component minecraft:redstone_producer cannot be defined in the permutations array without defining it in the base components object as well (MCPE-234647)

- Fixed custom blocks with the 'minecraft:tick' component ticking more than expected when placed via a structure (MCPE-236362)
- Fixed minecraft:block_placer component's replace_block_item property. The block will now properly use the overridden block item. (MCPE-236314)
- Fixed y-offset for 'flower_pottable' blocks in flower pots to match vanilla for versions 1.26.20+ (MCPE-234585)
- We are fully enabling the block schema parsing update that was tested during 1.26.10 previews. These changes will be shipping as part of 1.26.20 and start with this first preview.
- The custom block json api has the following changes that will affect loading of block json with format version 1.26.20 and up.
- General
- Namespace constraints have been tweaked but everything permitted before should still be valid.
- This can affect the identifiers used for the block, states and menu category groups.
- Namespace constraints have been tweaked but everything permitted before should still be valid.
- Block Traits
- "placement_direction" trait, validation change: The rotation offset does not accept a 0.5 tolerance anymore.
- Input value must be a multiple of 90.0
- The value must be in the range 0.0 to 360.0 inclusive.
- "blocks_to_corner_with" now requires "minecraft:corner_and_cardinal_direction" to be one of the "enabled_states" for the "placement_direction" trait.
- "placement_direction" trait, validation change: The rotation offset does not accept a 0.5 tolerance anymore.
- Category
- "menu_category", validation change: An empty "group" value is not allowed.
- The "group" field can either exist with a non-empty value or not exist at all.
- "category" is now a required field, when using "menu_category". This is strictly enforced now.
- Components
- "minecraft:flower_pottable", validation change: It is restricted outside of root components object.
- "minecraft:geometry", validation change: The constraint on "culling_shape" identifier is strictly enforced now.
- When using the minecraft namespace, the only currently available culling shape identifiers are : "minecraft:empty" or "minecraft:unit_cube".
- When using no namespaces or a custom one, the names must start and end with an alpha-numeric character.
- "minecraft:light_dampening" and "minecraft:light_emission", validation change: They now strictly enforce the value to be between 0 and 15 inclusive.
- There is a breaking change to how tags are defined.
- As of version 1.26.20, tags cannot freely live as top level entities in the components array.
- They must live inside the "minecraft:tags" component, which accepts an array of tags of the format :
- "minecraft:tags": ["minecraft:crop", "custom:custom_tag"].
- The values must have the format "<namespace>:<tag_name>".
- They no longer need to be prefixed with tag:
- General

- Custom blocks will no longer have darker shade when occluded by a small set of vanilla blocks like the minecraft:kelp. (MCPE-236304)
- Blocks that use the "flower_pottable" component without the "geometry" and "minecraft:material_instances" components will now generate a content error (MCPE-234599)
- Blocks with a missing menu_category will correctly be accepted again instead of giving the error: "Menu Category should not have an empty value"
- Fixed custom components not parsing with modern block definition loader (MCPE-13541)
- minecraft:material_instances, validation change: ambient_occlusion does not accept booleans as valid input. It must be a float between 0.0 - 10.0 inclusive. It defaults to 1.0 if not provided.
- Fixed content warning regarding texture variations for block components minecraft:item_visual and minecraft:embedded_visual
- Added content warning for component minecraft:item_visual trying to use texture variations. Variation textures are not supported for this component
- The "minecraft:selection_box" component will correctly give an error again when the y is over the 16 limit
- Fixed legacy tag: entries in block permutations being silently dropped when upgrading to format version 1.26.20, which could cause scripts relying on permutation-specific tags to fail
- Items with "replace_block_item" set to true will no longer take the planted block in a flowerpot (MCPE-237222)
Block Components
- Released the component minecraft:chest_obstruction from experimental for block format versions 1.26.20 or higher.
Commands
- Fixed issue where player could still auto-jump after using the /inputPermissions command to disable jumping (MCPE-235573)

Ensure proper offsets are applied when switching flatten modes in the Terrain Tool
Fixed issue where Flatten Up was sampling too far into the ground
Fixed an error that occurred when running the /reload command from tool mode chat shortcut
Fixed Jigsaw Collection names allowing case-variant duplicates which caused file conflicts and potential data loss on case-insensitive file systems
Entity Components
- The behavior of the minecraft:friction_modifier component now matches its description
- The higher its value, the more friction affects an entity:
- 0.0 means no friction
- 1.0 means regular friction
- 2.0 means double friction
- The component now affects ground friction only, and no longer partially affects air or liquid drag
- The legacy incorrect behavior can be re-enabled by adding the minecraft:uses_legacy_friction component
- This component is automatically added to all entities with a format version lower than 1.26.20, to ensure their behavior stays unaltered
- The component now properly works on players, and on other client-predicted entities
- The higher its value, the more friction affects an entity:
- Added the minecraft:uses_uniform_air_drag component
- When present, air drag is applied uniformly on both the vertical and horizontal axes, instead of being biased toward horizontal movement
- Added the "minecraft:on_equipment_changed" component, which allows executing entitiy events when items are equipped or unequipped in specific equipment slots
- Contains a "slots" field with a list of entries, each with:
- "slot", the equipment slot to monitor
- "on_equip", event to fire when a non-empty item is placed in the slot
- "on_unequip", event to fire when the slot is cleared
- When equipment changes, the first matching slot entry is used
- Does not apply to "minecraft:inventory" slots, use "minecraft:equippable" instead
- Contains a "slots" field with a list of entries, each with:
- Add minecraft:spawn_on_death Component for spawning entities when an entity perishes.
- entity_to_spawn (optional) What entity to spawn, defaults to owning entity when not set
- spawn_method (optional) Spawn method. born, spawned, or summoned, defaults to spawned when not set
- spawn_amount (optional) How many entities to spawn, defaults to 1 when not set
- inherit_parent_name (optional) If true, the entity will inherit the name of the parent entity, defaults to true when not set
- additional_spawn_range (optional) Additional random range of entities to spawn, defaults to 0, 0 when not set
- Fixed a bug where removing the movement controller from an entity entirely did not reset the input velocity given by the controller
- This would cause entities to keep sliding in the given direction until friction bled the velocity off, even if the entity hit a wall
- Fixed a bug that caused the "minecraft:behavior.delayed_attack" AI behavior to sometimes fail to exit after killing a target
- Added the minecraft:bounciness component, which controls how an entity bounces when colliding with surfaces
- Contains a single field, value, defining the bounce strength:
- 0 results in no bounce
- 1 results in a perfectly elastic collision with full energy preservation
- If the component is not present, bounciness defaults to 0
- Only available if the entity's format_version is set to beta
- Contains a single field, value, defining the bounce strength:
- Added the "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules" component which controls how an entity applies knockback to a target
- "horizontal_power" defines how much the target is hit backwards
- Defaults to 1.0 if not defined
- "vertical_power" defines how much the target is hit upwards
- Defaults to 0.4 if not defined
- "vertical_velocity_cap" defines the target's maximum vertical upwards velocity after the target's knockback rules have been evaluated
- Defaults to 0.4 if not defined

- Defaults to "false" if omitted
- : refactor minecraft:behavior.follow_target_captain to minecraft:behavior.follow_target_leader. The following fields have been added to the behavior:
- always_look_for_leader (default: false) If true, the mob will always search for a valid leader to follow if none is found or current leader is not valid anymore
- leader_filters (required) The filters to use when determining if a mob is a suitable leader or not.
- search_cooldown (default: 20) Number of ticks that must pass before a new search is initiated after a target is not found, lost, or becomes invalid.

- Candle Cake shape (17 blocks)
- Composter shapes (1 block): 8 fill-level shapes for each stage of composting
Entities
- Added a new entity_version description field to entity behavior definitions that enables per-entity versioning and upgrade handling
- The entity_version field is a JSON object containing an upgrades array, where each entry specifies an integer upgrade_to version and a name string referencing an upgrade handler defined in a new top-level upgrades section of the entity definition.
- Upgrade versions must start at 1 and be contiguous (e.g., 1, 2, 3), gaps or duplicates are rejected with a content error.
- Version 0 is reserved for entities that have no version set ("versionless"), which is the default for all existing entities.
- When an entity is loaded with a version older than the current definition version, all upgrade handlers between the entity's saved version and the current version are executed sequentially.
- Newly spawned entities are set directly to the latest version without running any upgrade handlers.
- Upgrade handlers reuse the existing event system but are defined in a separate upgrades section, keeping them distinct from regular events.
- The entity's version is persisted and loaded/saved automatically.
- This feature is gated behind the Upcoming Creator Features experiment toggle.
Entity Components
- The following fields have been added to the preset element exclusively in the beta version of "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules":
- "scale_previous_velocity" scales the previous velocity of the target when hit
- "horizontal_hit_angle_scale" scales the horizontal angle response of the target when hit based on the attacker's aim direction
- "vertical_hit_angle_scale" scales the vertical angle response of the target when hit based on the attacker's aim direction
- "vertical_position_angle_scale" scales the vertical angle response of the target when hit based on the attacker's relative feet position
- "scale_with_damage" enables scaling the magnitude of knocback based on the inverse square of the damage
- There is currently a known issue where knockback is applied twice
- the first is the custom knockback defined by "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules"
- the second is the default knockback with the custom "horizontal_power", "vertical_power" and "vertical_velocity_cap" defined by "minecraft:apply_knockback_rules"
Graphical
Removed point lights visually fading out once past a certain distance from the camera
Fixed an issue where the RenderDragon Features for Creators Experimental resource pack would override other resource packs on the stack
