26.1 - Tiny Takeover
March 24, 2026
Everything new
- First drop under the new year-based version numbering (Java 26.1, Bedrock 26.10)
- Baby mobs and rabbits got real models instead of shrunken adults - each with new sounds
- Name tags are now craftable
- Golden dandelion: feed it to a baby mob to keep it young forever (feed again to undo)
Why it matters
- Version numbers changed: after 1.21.x, Mojang switched to year-based 26.x versions for Java, with Bedrock on its own numbering (26.10, 26.30...)
- Pet collectors can finally freeze baby animals - expect baby-mob zoos everywhere
