Minecraft Bedrock 26.20.20 – Gameplay Fixes & Mob Tweaks
There are currently many speculations and rumors circulating in the Minecraft community about the next versions of Minecraft. This usually happens when Minecraft Live, which will take place on March 21, is approaching. However, Mojang provided incorrect dates and times for Europe and the UK which caused confusion.
There are now many rumors about what we might see at Minecraft Live. The Tiny Takeover update is expected to be small because the developers have been working behind the scenes on technologies for future updates. This may refer to the summer update for Bedrock Edition.
Offhand support in Bedrock Edition
Another thing that has been actively worked on in beta versions and previews over the past year is offhand support for Minecraft Bedrock Edition. The Bedrock community has long wanted offhand support. For example, many simply want to use torches.
If you execute a special command you can get a torch in your offhand. They dont work the same way as in Minecraft Java Edition, but overall its somewhat similar to the original.
Minor changes and bugs
There are other interesting points. For example the diamond block in the left hand sometimes displays strangely – smaller then usual and slightly offset. This may be a bug. By the way, Minecraft: Bedrock has started a new preview cycle. This is version 26.20.20, and version 26.10 is already complete.
Fixes and improvements for 26.20.20
The update fixes game time statistics which could briefly show a negative value. Now a grass block can create tall grass when using bone meal (this is a small but usefull improvement).
Bedrock 26.20.20 also fixes the knockback effect to match the Java Edition. Camera issues when interacting with blocks and several graphical bugs in Vibrant Visuals mode have been fixed.
Mob and sound changes
Animations and hitboxes have been fixed for some mobs in MCPE 26.20.20. Small striders no longer float in the air and villagers now move to their workplaces at the correct speed.
Also added are eating sounds for adult pigs and piglets and several minor interface and Realms changes. Overall the update contains mostly minor fixes and technical changes, with nothing new as such.
