Minecraft Bedrock 26.60: Switch 2 fixes, Realms, stability and experimental ice caves

Minecraft Bedrock 26.60 was published 27 October 2026. Mojang reports more than 600 fixes, including 89 prompted by community reports. The new ice-cave biome, icicles, ice crystals and Frostbite mobs are experimental upcoming-drop features, not automatically part of every existing survival world. Here are the useful verified changes through 31 October 2026, 2:00 AM AEST.

Nintendo Switch 2, Switch and visuals

• Fixed world-preview UI elements appearing in Vibrant Visuals images on Switch 2 (MCPE-241596).
• Technical changes include improved split-screen performance on Switch 2; Vibrant Visuals has separate compatibility restrictions.
• Improved stability for network-connected Switch devices, and fixed a Switch wireless-controller issue on the world-selection screen (MCPE-241768).
• Large world duplication on Switch now works when enough storage is available.
• Fixed PlayStation crashes related to some higher graphics or render-resolution settings, and reduced aliasing in coloured light on beds and signs.

Crashes and performance

Mojang reduced stuttering associated with mobs and items across multiple play sessions (MCPE-241707). It also fixed a crash while loading worlds containing extensive connected structures such as fences or glass panes, crashes from malformed resource archives, and an issue where pausing during a dimension change could leave the Generating World screen stuck. None of these fixes establishes a new guaranteed frame-rate target.

Realms, add-ons and saves

Realm uploads and downloads received reliability and speed improvements, membership screens were overhauled, and a Realms free trial became available on Switch. Add-on worlds whose achievements had been incorrectly disabled are set to have eligibility restored when first played (MCPE-242586). Imported skins now avoid a previous restart-related reset.

Before updating a large world
