What Minecraft 26.70.24 adds and fixes

Minecraft Bedrock 26.70.24, listed under mcpe versions 1.26, is a Beta build for testing changes to Drop 4 of 2026 and fixes to the base game.

• Local players who stay in range can keep hearing shared music.
• Invisible Armor gives players a way to hide their equipped armor.
• Undead mobs gain immunity to freezing, and player-thrown Ice Balls lose critical damage.
• Several block sets now sit next to related materials in the Creative inventory.
• Offhand swapping works again, and held maps keep the offhand item visible.

Split screen audio and stability in Minecraft 26.70.24

In Minecraft 26.70.24, music discs and tracked broadcast sounds keep playing for split screen players who stay in range. Playback continues for those listeners if another local player moves out of range, disconnects, or changes dimension. Mojang also assigned some sound events to the correct audio sliders, so the intended volume controls now affect those sounds.

Minecraft Bedrock Edition 26.70.24 sends queued client-to-server packets before another packet would push the batch over the server’s decompression limit. It fixes a crash when loading resource packs with invalid lighting keyframes and a rare Nether world generation crash involving the Bastion Remnant. Trees also generate in the Abandoned Camp structures that were missing them.

Closed Captions and screen narration

Minecraft PE 26.70.24 updates the direction on already displayed Closed Captions and shows the right captions for jumping and landing on every block type. Frostbites and Snow Golems get corrected projectile captions. Search fields on the marketplace and owned template screens now use the same narration as other text fields.

Joy-Con Mouse Mode and platform fixes

Minecraft Bedrock 26.70.24 adds Joy-Con Mouse Mode on Nintendo Switch 2, with a dedicated settings page for customizing that input. It also fixes crashes at the end of data migration from Nintendo Switch to Nintendo Switch 2 and addresses a Windows startup issue that could leave the loading screen stuck at 73%.

Invisible Armor and Freezing in Minecraft 26.70.24

Minecraft 26.70.24 adds Invisible Armor as a world setting. Turn it on in the settings of an existing world or in the Advanced tab when creating one, then use the eye button in the inventory to show or hide equipped armor. The invisibleArmor game rule also controls the setting.

In MCPE 26.70.24, all undead mobs are immune to freezing from Powder Snow and the Freezing status effect, and Freezing particles rotate as they do in Java Edition. Ice Balls now make a sound when they break, and those thrown by players lose critical damage. Frostbites use a corrected attack animation when holding a Trident.

Icicles, Tridents and the Flurry disc

In Minecraft Bedrock Edition 26.70.24, Zombies, Zombie Villagers, and Husks display their held Tridents correctly. Icicles held in the world now sit in the same position as Pointed Dripstone and Sulfur Spike. The title of the “Flurry” music disc now appears capitalized in its tooltip.

Building blocks and commands in Minecraft 26.70.24

In Minecraft 26.70.24, sitting in a Boat leaves Brittle Ice intact. Players can place blocks against Cauldrons without sneaking and use items normally while aiming at one, including eating and charging Bows. Leaves now hide the face they share with Chiseled Packed Ice, Packed Ice Bricks, or Snow Bricks.

Minecraft PE 26.70.24 puts Cinnabar and Sulfur with stone blocks in the Creative inventory, Calcite after Sulfur, Packed Ice Bricks after Mud Bricks, and Resin Brick Stairs and Resin Brick Slabs after their Snow Bricks counterparts. Non-TNT explosions yield fewer drops from the Calcite, Packed Ice Bricks, and Snow Bricks sets, plus Shelf Mushrooms and Red Shrubs.

Double slab sounds and ray tracing

Minecraft 26.70.24 fixes the sound and subtitle when affected slabs merge into a double slab. Nether Brick Double Slabs and Red Nether Brick Double Slabs now sound like Nether Bricks. With ray tracing enabled, redstone torches now display the transparent parts of their textures correctly.

Repeating Command Blocks and Chiseled Soulshale

In Minecraft Bedrock 26.70.24, Repeating Command Blocks skip the extra execution that used to occur when switching from Always Active to Needs Redstone. Commands can now obtain and place Chiseled Soulshale, and breaking the block drops it without requiring a Pickaxe.
