A snapshot download is available on the Download page, under the Snapshot downloads section.

Make sure to download and install the pre-release so you can test it out. This way, we can ensure the release is as stable as possible. Leave a comment with your feedback on the update below. Stay tuned and keep on modding!

Comments

We will consider adding new tool types such as spear in future updates. For now, you can find tutorials on our forums on how to make one even without special tool type for spears

Is it possible in Bedrock now to create cave and Nether biomes using the new biome function?

Nether and end biome overrides are possible, maybe cave biome overrides too, but I did not test this part myself. What I would recommend you to do is to install snapshot and try this out yourself :)

I tested it out, and it doesn't really seem to work; instead, it causes severe lag spikes.

hi, Klemen, sorry for wasting your time
i can't stop thinking about ways to add two-handed-item, which could be like loaded crossbow, but not only when it's loaded. i mean, when two-handed-item in main hand - second hand is hidden and not usable (because both hands holding this item). i know about ways to do something like this by execute special procedure every tick, and I guess I also can do something similar by creating item literal crossbow which will become loaded every tick and won't be able to shoot, but as I guess this is a very bad solution for optimization
soo i want to ask, is it hard to add checkbox "two-handed-item" for items to make them like i described? if it is not, may you add it please? you're adding a lot of cool features (btw thanks to all MCreator team, thats inspiring), and i wouldn't want to burden you with a bunch more of my "wishlist". when i'll get free time i'll anyway find ways to implement my ideas, so i do not ask you to take my request too seriously

We try to collect feature requests on our forums, not under article comments. Thanks for understanding

okay, sorry!

Two handed is really simple. Find me on discord and I'll guide you on how to do it. Its a bit of work but simple process.
I'm syunastorm all lowercase

This will be an amazing update, just installing the snapshot!

Have fun trying it out!

It'd be cool to have a checkbox or a mod tab for shields that allow the player to use a custom model for the shield and it will apply the rest of the mechanics rather than setting up a procedure or animation for blocking.

this is such a cool update, I cant wait for the full release!
but just one thing, are you ever going to add a way to edit exisiting minecraft items, or copy them? I know that would be really hard, so i understand if it dosent get added.

You can edit existing items already partially using item extensions and global triggers

w update
trims and skyboxes especially

Glad to hear that!

Could you maybe add the ability to make items be able to be used as the material for an armor trim?

Also does the history work like git?

Awesome new features, thanks for doing this for free!

You are welcome! For history, I advise you download the pre-release and try it out yourself :)

i can't wait! I do not really use snapshots so i well wait for full update!

I highly recommend testing pre-release, or you can end up with some bug specific to your device that will be only fixed in 2026.3 and this will be just waiting

armor trims!, Loving the updates keep up the good work!

Glad to hear you like the new features!

I know everyone at MCreator is adding tons of new cool features, but if I may ask, can we get the ability to use custom GUIs as a crafting recipe base? I know it IS possible right now, but making it as a procedure is very difficult, especially if you need to add a lot of recipes.
