Minecraft 26.3 snapshot 4

17 Jul 2026 Original Changelog

A new snapshot brings bugfixes and many technical changes.

Cushion

When attempting to place a cushion on a block in the #cushion_uses_collision_shape tag (cauldrons, hopper, and comparator), the game will instead perform a collision raycast from the player’s eyes to the position the player clicked on the block’s interaction hitbox, plus 0.001 blocks.

When a cushion checks whether it should pop off of a block, it will also pop off when the cushion intersects with fire.

Cushions can still be placed in fire, but they will immediately burn.

If a cushion is destroyed by lightning, the dropped cushion item gains one second of invulnerability.

Data Packs

GameTest

Test environments no longer have a defined dimension. Instead, each test instance has a dimension, which can be any identifier instead of just overworld, nether, or end.

Debug Properties

Removed -DMC_DEBUG_PREFER_WAYLAND.
