Minecraft Preview 26.50.24

Bedrock Preview 26.50.24 lines up with the last wave of features for 2026’s third game drop. The player-facing highlights are better explorer maps in abandoned camps and concrete stairs and slabs in all 16 colors.

Abandoned camp chests can now hold maps pointing toward Ancient Cities, Mineshafts, Desert Pyramids, Warm Ocean Ruins, and other abandoned camps across biomes. Checking camp loot is more worthwhile if you like structure hunting.

Concrete stairs and slabs give builders finer shapes in every dye color, while poplar leaves can be smelted into leaf litter. Several cushion and straw bed bugs also get polish so seating and sleeping feel less broken.

Growth speed for sulfur spikes and pointed dripstone was restored after an accidental huge speed-up. Explorer maps gain clearer destination icons, and the player marker on maps keeps showing facing even outside map bounds.

The build also packs Realms UI fixes, stability work, Creative inventory ordering for remaining poplar items, and a long list of creator/API notes for packs and servers. Preview features can still change, so treat this as a test build and send feedback or bug reports through Mojang’s usual channels.
