Minecraft

26.1.1

Minecraft is a fun sandbox game where you explore lost worlds, kill monsters and uncover secrets. Download Minecraft for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and more!

Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, players built simple structures to protect themselves from nocturnal monsters. But as the game grew, players began working together to create wonderful, imaginative things.

It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sunrise over a blocky ocean. It's pretty. Brave players battle terrible creatures in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. Or, if you'd prefer something calmer, you can visit a land of giant mushrooms – if that's more your cup of tea.

How do I update Minecraft?

Open the Minecraft Launcher. Click on "Options," next to the username text box, then press "Force update!" and login with your Minecraft credentials afterwards. Minecraft will start updating itself. This can also be used to get a fresh Minecraft installation, which will keep your saved games and texture packs, but not your mods.

Which version of Minecraft should I download (Java or Bedrock)?

Java Edition is popular for PC players who want mods and custom servers, while Bedrock Edition supports cross-platform play across consoles, mobile, and Windows.

Java is the more powerful and feature-rich version of Minecraft. PC gamers on the Java Edition have access to numerous communities and endless mods, which makes the multiplayer experience a lot more malleable. Java Edition also requires higher spec machines to run smoothly.

Bedrock Edition is multi-platform, which means Bedrock players can interact with each other be it console, mobile or PC. It comes packaged with microtransactions, RTX support, and a handful of other exclusive functions. Mainly its marketplace, where you can acquire skins and add-ons, and the option to use controllers. Parental controls via Xbox services can also provide peace of mind to parents.

How do I find other Minecraft players online?

To play Minecraft with others, you'll need to join a server. Servers offer different gameplay styles – some focus on building, others mimic MMORPGs, mini-games, or survival challenges.

The easiest way to find servers is to use a search engine or browse popular Minecraft server lists like Minecraft Server List, Planet Minecraft, or MinecraftServers.org. If you're after a specific experience (for example, GTA-style gameplay), just search something like "Grand Theft Auto Minecraft servers." Once you've found a server you like, open Minecraft, go to Multiplayer, and select Add Server to enter the server's address.

Do I need to download and install Java to play Minecraft?

Since Minecraft 1.18, the Java Edition installer includes its own bundled Java runtime (Java 17 for versions 1.19 and later), so most players don't need to manually install Java anymore. However, if you're using custom launchers, mods, or older versions, you might still need to install the correct Java version yourself.

Why can't I install or run Minecraft after downloading?

Common issues include outdated Java versions (for Java Edition – see above), insufficient system requirements, or missing game updates – make sure your software and drivers are up to date.

Can I transfer my Minecraft worlds or progress to another device?

Yes, but the method depends on the edition. Java Edition worlds can be manually copied between devices, while Bedrock Edition worlds can often be synced through cloud saves or manually transferred.

Do I need a Microsoft account to play Minecraft?

Yes, new players need a Microsoft account to purchase and access Minecraft. Older Mojang accounts have been migrated to Microsoft accounts.

Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 26.0

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!

Released minecraft:redstone_consumer from experimental for format_version >= 1.26.0
Added use_liquid_clipping field to the detection_rules in minecraft:liquid_detection (MCPE-191655)
"true" means the block will use the "collision_box" to visually clip the water

Components

Fixed bug with minecraft:behavior.fire_at_target where the max_head_rotation_x and max_head_rotation_y were applied inversely
Updated the various "minecraft.behaviour.look_at_X" behavior componentsMade schemas stricter when parsing and will fail to load an entity json that has invalid data in versions 1.26.0 and newer"min_look_time" and "max_look_time" - deprecated and has been replaced properly with "look_time"
Uses of "min_look_time" and "max_look_time" will get upgraded automatically
"look_time" - takes "min" and "max" as a range
These changes affect the following behavior components:
"minecraft.behaviour.look_at_entity"
"minecraft.behaviour.look_at_player"
"minecraft.behaviour.look_at_target"
"minecraft.behaviour.look_at_trading_player"
Previous usage of the following definitions will not be automatically upgraded to preserve old behavior
"look_time" - this was not correctly parsed prior to version 1.26.0, and always resulted in default values being assigned to "min_look_time" and "max_look_time"
"target_distance" - was used in some definitions and it was never passed to the component
This would just silently fail and assign default values to the component

Introducing Realms Saves, a new and improved version of our previous backup system. Keep your Realms worlds safe with a new bank of cloud storage included with your Realms subscription. Realms saves come in two flavors:Automatic saves are functionally the same as our previous "backups" system:
They are on by default - no need to enable anything to keep your Realm world safe with automatic saves.
They are taken at the end of every Realms play session when the server shuts down, or every 30 minutes during a play session.
They are only retained for a limited time, according to our retention policy (which has not changed with this update): How Mojang Saves Backups for Your Minecraft Realm | Minecraft Help
They do not count towards your bank of cloud storage.
All previous Realms backups will be converted to automatic saves.
Manual saves are created by the Realm owner and count towards a bank of storage that comes with your Realms subscription.
Manual saves are retained as long as your Realm is. They are not automatically deleted by our retention policy*, but Realm owners can delete manual saves if they want to free up storage space.
Realms Plus subscriptions come with 10GB of manual save storage and Realms core subscriptions come with 5GB.
Automatic saves can be turned into manual saves by the Realm owner.
Realms saves can be found in the Realms settings menu accessed via the "Edit Realm" button rather than the Realms world settings menu that backups used to show up in. While playing on the Realm, saves can also be found in the in-game settings menu for the Realm owner.
Realms saves will also now list the world name and the packs that were applied at the time of the save.

Copper Chest

The Copper Chest is a new type of chest that has waxed and oxidized variants
Copper Chests oxidize over time and can be waxed like other Copper blocks
A Copper Chest can be crafted using a Chest and 8 Copper Ingots

Copper Golem

The Copper Golem is a new mob which can be spawned by placing a Jack o'Lantern or Carved Pumpkin on top of a Copper block
Copper Golems oxidize over time and can be waxed like Copper blocks
If the Copper Golem is fully oxidized and not waxed it will turn into a Copper Golem Statue
Upon turning into a statue, the Copper Golem will drop any item it may be holding
The statue retains the Copper Golem's name
Copper Golems can help with sorting items into Chests
Interacting with the Copper Golem with an empty hand will make it drop its carried item
Iron Golems will occasionally plant a decorative flower onto a nearby Copper Golem
The flower can be removed with Shears
This flower is dropped when the Copper Golem turns into a Copper Golem Statue

Copper Golem Item Sorting

If the Copper Golem is not holding an item, it will look for nearby Copper Chests to try to pick up an item
The Copper Golem will look in any oxidized and waxed Copper Chest variant to pick up items
It can pick up at most 16 items in a stack at a time
Any item in a Copper Chest can be picked up
If the Copper Golem is holding an item, it will look for nearby Chests to try to place the item in
The Copper Golem will look in Chests and Trapped Chests to try to place items
It can place an item in a Chest if it's empty, or if it contains the same type of item that it is holding in its hand
The Copper Golem will visit at most 10 Chests or Copper Chests in sequence to try to pick up or place an item
If no matching chest is found the Copper Golem will idle for 7 seconds before trying again
The search area for chests from the Copper Golem's position is horizontally 32 blocks and vertically 8 blocks

Copper Golem Statue Block

The Copper Golem Statue is a new type of decorative block which has waxed and oxidized variants
The Copper Golem Statue oxidizes over time and can be waxed like Copper blocks
If the Copper Golem Statue has no oxidation when interacted with using an Axe, the statue will turn into a Copper Golem

The pose of the statue can be changed by interacting with it
Each pose emits a Redstone Comparator signal

Copper Equipment

Added Copper Nugget
Added Copper armor
Added Copper Helmet, Copper Chestplate, Copper Leggings and Copper Boots
Copper armor has higher durability than Leather and Gold
Copper armor has slightly less enchantability than Iron
Added Copper tools and weapons
Added Copper Axe, Copper Hoe, Copper Pickaxe, Copper Shovel and Copper Sword

Shelf

The Shelf is a new type of decorative block which comes in the following variants:
Oak
Spruce
Birch
Jungle
Acacia
Dark Oak
Mangrove
Cherry
Pale Oak
Bamboo
Crimson
Warped
The Shelf can be crafted from six matching blocks of any Stripped Log, Stripped Stem or Block of Stripped Bamboo, filling the top and bottom row
This recipe produces 6 Shelves
The Shelf can store up to 3 item stacks:
Interacting with any of the 3 slots on its front swaps the player's main hand item with the content of that slot
The Shelf displays all items it contains in front of it, similar to an Item Frame
While a Shelf is powered by Redstone, its front texture changes to reflect that it's powered
When powered, up to 3 Shelves will connect to each other
Interacting with a single powered Shelf swaps all its contents with the 3 rightmost items in the player's hotbar
Interacting with two connected Shelves swaps their contents with the 6 rightmost items in the player's hotbar
Interacting with three connected Shelves swaps their contents with all items in the player's hotbar
It does not matter which of the connected Shelves the player interacts with

Lightning Rod

Lightning Rods now oxidize like other Copper blocks

The End Light Flashes

The End dimension now has skylight
Normally the skylight does not affect how the dimension looks
From time to time flashes in the sky happen and produce a rumbling sound
When they happen skylight intensity increases, flooding the dimension with purple light
While the Ender Dragon fog effect is active the flash source in the sky is not visible and the brightness of the light affecting the world is reduced
The "Hide Sky Flashes" accessibility option disables the End flashes
When the flash is disabled by the setting the world is not lit by the flash but the flash source is still visible in the sky and the sound effect still plays

Changes

Performance improvements
The Chain block has been renamed to "Iron Chain"
Monster Spawn Eggs now have a tooltip warning when the difficulty is set to Peaceful
The mob no longer spawns for one tick when an attempt is made to use the Spawn Egg
Changes to world loading and the "Spawn Chunks"
A dimension that has any player activity, forceloaded chunks, active portals, or Ender Pearls in flight will be considered "active" and will keep processing chunks and entities
Previously, this would only apply if a player was in the dimension or a chunk was forceloaded
Reworked the debug overlay to be less cluttered and more configurable
Players seen in the game world of the current server are now always shown in the Social Interactions screen even if they are offline
Players now stop flying when switching from Spectator Mode to Creative Mode if they are near the ground
A player is considered to be near the ground if there is a collidable surface (i.e. blocks, Happy Ghasts, boats...) within 1 block below them
Flight will not get disabled if the player was inside a block or collidable entity
This is to prevent players from suddenly falling through the ground
Migrated several server properties into game rules
OpenGL 3.3 is now required to play the game, up from 3.2. This does not change our posted Minimum Requirements

Developer's Note: We do not expect the update to OpenGL version to affect many people, if any at all. Our posted Minimum Requirement has been OpenGL 4.0 since 2017, and OpenGL 3.3 turned 15 years old recently.

Performance Improvements

Entity rendering order was improved for significantly better performance
You'll notice much smoother gameplay in areas with lots of mobs, like mob farms
FPS won't improve much if most of your lag comes from things other than entities, like playing with high render distance while not being near many mobs
Particles outside the player's view are not rendered anymore, which provides a performance improvement in some cases

World Loading and Spawn Chunks

The concept of fixed "Spawn Chunks" has been removed
The game will ensure that the following chunks are fully loaded before the player joins or the server starts, in the same way as spawn chunks formerly were:
Chunks loaded by the forceload command
Chunks active due to portal activity
Thrown Ender Pearls (Singleplayer only)
A small area of chunks around the player (Singleplayer only)
Chunks required to assign the global world spawn (World creation only)
The world loading screen now shows the chunks that the player is about to be placed into, rather than chunks loaded around world spawn
The loading screen now has a progress bar
