Minecraft Bedrock 26.10.21: Golden Dandelions & Baby Ghasts
The second update of 2026 in the 26-10 series, numbered 26.10.21, is already available in beta and preview, and it will definetly appeal to those who dont want their pets to grow up. Meet the new item – the Golden Dandelion, a tool for freezing the age of mobs.
How the Golden Dandelion works
To keep your favorite puppy or piglet small forever you need to feed it this special flower. The process works both ways and, if you change your mind and want the animal to grow up just give it the Golden Dandelion again.
It’s easy to craft this new item: take a regular dandelion and surround it with eight gold nuggets on a workbench. The flower can be placed in a pot for beauty but keep in mind that in Minecraft Bedrock 26.10.21 it has limitations. It cannot be used to make yellow dye or suspicious stew; and Endermen and Piglins completely ignore it for now.
Golden Dandelion Recipe
List of New Baby Mobs
The developers have expanded the list of creatures that have recieved a mini version. Now in Minecraft PE 26.10, you can encounter baby pandas, polar bears, camels, and even gastly.
- Armadillos and axolotls.
- Bees, dolphins, and skunks.
- All types of llamas, including trading ones.
- Strange but cute creatures like baby nautiluses.
Even tadpoles are now considered babies whose growth can be stopped. Also some animals, such as rabbits, have had their visual models slightly tweaked.
Technical stuff and fixes
In addition to creatures, there are changes in the Bedrock 26.10.21 code. For owners of weak devices, texture streaming has begun to be tested – this setting in the video parameters helps to save video memory, which is useful when you have a bunch of add-ons installed (add-ons for Minecraft: Bedrock 1.21/26).
Now mushrooms on mooshrooms sit evenly on top of their heads, zombie horses are no longer afraid of the sun and now behave like normal zombies. They also fixed the display of armor for wolves and bags in frames, as they previously looked too huge when HD textures where used.
