Summary

  • 26.3 Snapshot 7 adds concrete stairs and slabs in all 16 colors, bringing the final feature set now entering testing for Minecraft Java Edition.
  • Abandoned camps now generate new explorer maps that point to other camps across nine biomes and to structures including Ancient Cities, Trial Chambers, mineshafts, pyramids and Woodland Mansions.
  • Explorer Maps are now separate item types with their own icons, old worlds convert existing maps on load, and explorer and buried treasure maps can no longer be zoomed out.
  • The snapshot also updates abandoned camp loot, changes cushion vibration behavior, expands future Realms region support to Canada, Mexico, South Africa and Arizona, and fixes dozens of bugs.
