Minecraft Bedrock Edition 26.10 Released!
Minecraft Bedrock Edition 26.10 is now live, bringing the Tiny Takeover game drop to all players. This is the first official content release under the new year-based versioning system and the first game drop of 2026.
Baby Mob Overhaul
Over 30 baby mobs received completely new models and textures. Cows, pigs, wolves, cats, chickens, sheep, axolotls, dolphins, horses, camels, bees, piglins, villagers, zombies, hoglins, sniffers, and many more now have distinct baby appearances with unique proportions and animations. Baby pigs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, and wolves also got their own sound sets, and their adult versions received new sound variants as well.
Golden Dandelion and Craftable Name Tags
The Golden Dandelion is a new flower crafted from a dandelion and gold nuggets. Feeding it to a baby mob pauses aging entirely, keeping the mob permanently young. Feed it again to resume growth. It also works as a crafting ingredient for yellow dye and suspicious stew, and it distracts piglins like other golden items.
Name Tags are now craftable using paper and any metal nugget. They've been removed from librarian trades, ancient city chests, and woodland mansion loot. Instead, wandering traders now sell them for one emerald.
