Spectator Mode and onboarding in shared worlds

Minecraft Bedrock 26.52 carries two fixes for watching and joining worlds.

Projectiles ignore players in Spectator Mode

Projectiles could still hit a player in Spectator Mode. After the hotfix they no longer register a hit.

Onboarding opens the selected multiplayer world

First-use onboarding now starts the chosen multiplayer world while the Character Creator appearance still loads.

Cushions stay in place across chunk reloads

Cushions in unloaded chunks could disappear on reload. The Minecraft PE 26.52 download keeps them where they were placed.

Achievements return to older Marketplace add-on worlds

Older worlds with activated Marketplace add-ons lost achievements after the Wilderness Bound update. Those worlds earn achievements again.

Every release in this branch is listed in the minecraft 1.26 apk download section.

Inventory items and textures render correctly

Neither graphics fix names Android as a specific platform.

Invisible items with non-default brightness

Some inventory items disappeared with non-default Display Brightness and anti-aliasing set to 1. They show up normally now.

Cube-map array texture detection

Support for cube-map array textures is now detected correctly on older Windows graphics hardware.

Stability fixes for Switch and iOS

Both stability entries in this MCPE hotfix target other platforms: networked Nintendo Switch devices run more stably. Some iOS devices launch the game again.
