Download Minecraft 26.40.20 for Android—the latest beta fixes Texture Streaming, turns the Sulfur Caverns fog blue, and removes old bugs from mob buckets.
What's new in Minecraft 26.40.20 for Android
Build 26.40.20 for Minecraft Bedrock isn't a showcase of new content, but a dense pack of tweaks to graphics, sound, and mechanics. The full version number is 1.26.40.20, and the Android beta is arriving via Google Play. Downloading Minecraft 26.40.20 is worth it for a few notable changes, which are discussed below.
Sulfur Caves in Minecraft 26.40.20 have become blue.
The fog in the Sulfur Caves is now blue instead of swampy green—the color has been adjusted to the Java version, and the underwater biome finally looks cohesive.
We also touched up the sulfur itself: Potent Sulfur bursts through flowing liquid, and sulfur spikes now have their own sounds instead of the generic block sounds.
Sulfur cubes have also received some tweaks—they no longer push each other on adjacent blocks, they no longer freeze when a block is swallowed, and the bucket name now shows which block the cube has swallowed.
Texture Streaming on Android no longer blurs textures.
Texture Streaming saves memory on phones, but in previous builds it was ruining the image. On 26.40.20, a bunch of visual bugs were fixed:
Mob buckets no longer carry old bugs.
Previously, a mob would remember its state before being caught in a bucket—it could be burning, suffocating, or immediately rushing to its previous target after being released. Now the bucket resets almost everything.
