I'm not sure what to start with today – the baby mob redesigns and craftable name tags coming into testing? Or the fact that this release is the first that follows our new numbering system? Actually, why choose! In this release we're entering 26.0, and thanks to the weeks we've spent teaching the nautilus some new moves, you'll find some new swimming animations for this underwater mount. We've also fixed a bug with Nether Portals so you can light them with lava again. In testing, you'll be able to try out crafting name tags, and meet new redesigns for baby mobs! And that's not all, either. Let's dive in!
