Minecraft 26.2 Pre-Release 3

Today we are shipping the third pre-release for 26.2, with a few changes and fixes!

With today's pre-release we're reverting a fix that patched an exploit, known as "Attribute Swapping", for unrelated reasons. Please note that this does not mean "Attribute Swapping" is a supported functionality - it will instead be fixed in a future snapshot.

Happy Mining!

Changes#

Sulfur Cube mob#

• The block inside a Sulfur Cube now only aligns vertically with the block grid when the Sulfur Cube is invisible
• The squish animation will no longer be played when a Sulfur Cube has a block inside

UI#

• The tooltip for the "Exclusive Fullscreen" video setting now mentions that Adaptive Sync (Nvidia G-Sync, AMD FreeSync) should work when it is enabled and will not work when it is disabled

Telemetry#

New property in World Events#

The following change was missing from the changelog for 26.2 Pre-Release 2:

• server_session_id a unique identifier for a multiplayer session, shared across all players in that session
