Minecraft 1.21.90.26

A new beta version, Minecraft 1.21.90.26 for Android, has been released! The developers continue to polish various game details, and this week we got new sounds for different actions and visual improvements. There are over 20 changes and 30 bug fixes.

Changes

• New custom sounds now play when leashing, unleashing, collecting leashed mobs, or attaching one mob to another.
• The /controlscheme command no longer requires experimental toggles.
• Overworld Chunk Blending has been re-enabled after being disabled in the previous version.
• Projectile hitboxes now change over time:
  
  • At first, projectiles have no extra collision tolerance.
  • Starting from the third tick, the margin increases by 0.05 blocks per tick, up to a maximum of 0.3 blocks.
  • This makes hitting close targets more precise, while still keeping some leeway for distant targets as before.
• Realm owners can now require members to opt in to Timeline (Realm Stories) in order to join:
  • If enabled, members who do not opt in cannot play but remain listed as members.
  • This option can be toggled on or off at any time.
  • The Realm owner can always play, regardless of their Timeline status.
• Removing saddles, horse armor, harnesses, and carpets with shears now plays custom sounds.
• The Storage settings page is now scrollable.
• Added beautiful new lighting, fog, and color effects to various worlds and biomes to make the game more vibrant and atmospheric.
  • Some atmospheric issues in The End and Nether remain.
• Emissive textures now appear more natural and accurate.
• The size of the Blaze and Breeze spawn eggs has been reduced to better match the actual mobs.
• Shadow rendering has been improved in Performance mode on Xbox for smoother gameplay.
• The Happy Ghast's appearance is now slightly smaller to prevent visual overlap with water or adjacent blocks.
  • This only affects visuals and not collision.
• Horses, Donkeys, and Mules can now eat carrots to heal, grow, and improve their temper.
• Music now fades out gradually when leaving a world, if pause is disabled.
• The clouds texture has been updated.
• After closing an Anvil or Enchanting Table, the XP bar is now shown for 5 seconds instead of the Locator Bar.
• The Ghastling model is now smaller and closer to its collision size.
• Leash knots now play a sound when destroyed.

Vanilla Parity

• Boats can now be pulled out of the water using a Lead.
