Minecraft Bedrock Preview 26.50.27 Drops Targeted Fixes

Mojang pushes bug fixes for cushions straw beds abandoned camps and Vibrant Visuals alongside editor upgrades and stability improvements as the next content drop approaches.

If you are testing the newer experimental features you will want this preview. Mojang released Beta and Preview version 26.50.27 on August 25 with a tight list of fixes aimed at polishing cushions straw beds abandoned camps and poplar blocks.

The update is not massive but the changes are practical. Abandoned camps now generate more sensibly. Cushions interact better with fishing rods and other blocks. Straw beds have corrected subtitles and rendering. Several poplar item map colors were updated to match their actual appearance.

Notable fixes and changes

  • Abandoned Camps less likely to spawn on villages and fixed missing trees in certain biomes
  • Cushions no longer prevent vibrations fixed placement bugs and renamed with name tags
  • Comparators can again read containers through honey blocks and chains after a developers note on unintended but popular behavior
  • Vibrant Visuals no longer disabled by Education features increased max view distance on Windows and various graphical parity fixes
  • Editor gains better biome block tooltips undo redo support and cinematic tool improvements
  • Stability fixes for crashes disconnects long play sessions and memory use with animated skins
The developers note on the comparator change is telling. They fixed a cushion bug and realized it broke a trick players had been using for years so they reverted it for now. That is exactly how good updates should work: respect what the community actually does with the game.

This preview continues the pattern of smaller iterative releases instead of one giant patch. It also includes technical updates for add-on creators and fixes for Realms crashes on iOS. If you are in the beta program the update should already be hitting your device.
