26.3 - Wilderness Bound
September 15, 2026
Everything new
- Dappled forest biome near cold regions, with poplar trees in red, orange and yellow leaf variants plus fallen poplar trunks
- Abandoned camp structures with their own explorer maps to find them
- Straw beds, cushions, shelf mushrooms and red shrubs
- Wool stairs/slabs and concrete stairs/slabs for every color
- Spectator mode players can now use portals; Realms invite codes
- Java 26.3, Bedrock 26.50
Why it matters
- The camping fantasy finally vanilla: camps, straw beds and cushions
- Wool and concrete stairs/slabs were two of the most-requested builder blocks ever
- Poplar is the first wood type with three leaf colors on one tree family
