Get your warmest leather armor ready, because a deep freeze has hit the Overworld! The Minecraft Bedrock Edition 26.60 update is out now, and it’s bringing a flurry of chilling new experimental features from the upcoming fourth game drop of 2026. This minor update, released on October 27, 2026<\/strong>, introduces a treacherous new underground biome, a dangerous new hostile mob, and a bone-chilling status effect that will make you think twice about a winter adventure.<\/p>\n

Before you dive in, remember that these features are experimental<\/strong>. They are part of the “Drop 4 of 2026” and must be toggled on manually. When creating a new world or editing an existing one’s settings, scroll down to the “Experiments” section and flip the switch for “Drop 4 of 2026” to turn on the frozen fun. This guide will walk you through everything new, from generation details to brewing recipes.

\n “Brrrr! Did the temperature just drop? Something drop related is going on, namely the addition of some experimental features from the upcoming game drop! Dive into the ice caves to check out the new icicles, ice crystals, and frostbites – if you dare!”
\n \u2013 Jay Wells, Mojang<\/cite>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Version and Compatibility<\/h2>\n

This update is for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition<\/strong> only. It applies to all Bedrock platforms, including Windows 10\/11, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices (Pocket Edition). As noted in the official changelog, this release also marks the arrival of Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch 2<\/strong> with support for Vibrant Visuals.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s New in Bedrock 26.60<\/h2>\n

The Ice Caves Biome<\/h3>\n

Buried deep beneath the snowy plains and other cold biomes, you’ll now find the gorgeous but dangerous Ice Caves<\/strong>. This is a full new underground biome, composed mainly of Packed Ice and Calcite, giving it a brilliant blue-and-white shimmer. It’s not just a pretty place; it’s home to two new blocks with unique behaviors.<\/p>\n

New Blocks: Icicles and Ice Crystals<\/h3>\n

Look up while you’re in an Ice Cave and you’ll see the spikes: Icicles<\/strong>. These sharp blocks generate on ceilings and can grow up to a staggering five blocks long, pointing downward. They aren’t just decoration. If a player or mob causes one to break, it will fall as a gravity-affected entity. Any entity hit by a falling Icicle takes damage, so tread (and mine) carefully!<\/p>\n

On the cave floor, you’ll spot Ice Crystals<\/strong>. Similar to Amethyst Clusters from the Caves & Cliffs update, these are crystal-like blocks that sprout from the ground and give off a faint, cold light. Perfect for an eerie, atmospheric base build.<\/p>\n

The Frostbite: A New Hostile Mob<\/h3>\n

No new biome would be complete without a new enemy to call it home. The Frostbite<\/strong> is a frozen Zombie variant that spawns in cold and icy biomes, including the new Ice Caves. This blue-skinned menace is more versatile than its rotting cousin. It can switch between melee and ranged combat, hurling Ice Balls<\/strong> at players who keep their distance.<\/p>\n
