Minecraft Bedrock 1.26.62 Hotfix
Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.26.62 is a small hotfix released in November 2026. It fixes blocks not breaking when an entity sits inside them, Xbox memory-pressure stability, Nintendo Switch 2 crashes, and a Realms sync-settings bug.
What's fixed in 1.26.62
- Entity block interaction: blocks can now be broken again when an entity is inside them - a regression that made it impossible to free mobs (or yourself) stuck inside blocks like powdered snow or cobwebs-adjacent geometry.
- Xbox stability: fixed a memory-pressure issue causing the game to close on Xbox consoles during longer sessions.
- Nintendo Switch 2 crashes: resolved crash scenarios specific to Switch 2 hardware.
- Realms: cached sync settings now apply correctly when uploading or updating a world on a Realm.
How to update
- Xbox / PlayStation / Switch: the update downloads automatically, or check "Updates" in the console's game library.
- Windows: open the Microsoft Store > Library > Get updates.
- iOS / Android: update through the App Store or Google Play.
Realms and dedicated servers pick up the hotfix automatically - no action needed if you play on a Realm.
FAQ
Is 1.26.62 Java or Bedrock?
Bedrock only - consoles, Windows Bedrock, and mobile. Java Edition uses a separate versioning scheme.
Do I need to update to keep playing?
Yes for multiplayer - versions must match to join friends or servers. Single-player worlds work either way, but the stability fixes are worth grabbing.
Does it fix the entity-in-block exploit farms?
Yes - mobs trapped inside blocks can now be freed by breaking those blocks again, which restores both survival rescues and some farm designs that broke after the previous release.
