How to Download Minecraft Bedrock 26.60.28 Beta and Preview: Steps and What’s New

Mojang has rolled out a fresh Bedrock Beta and Preview build — 26.60.28 — bringing crash fixes, HUD improvements, and an experimental creator tool for entity storage. Here’s how to grab it and what’s changed.

What’s New in 26.60.28

The headline addition is the experimental minecraft:entity_storage block component, available behind the “Upcoming Creator Features” toggle. It lets creators store up to 4 entities inside a custom block, with methods to store, transfer, release, and count entities. Storage is tracked per content pack, but the 4-entity cap applies globally.

Other notable changes:

• Crash fixes for rendering too many hearts on the HUD and loading damaged resource files
• Collision box changes: from format version 1.26.60 onward, minecraft:collision_box no longer accepts single box objects — only arrays, with support for min/max coordinates
• Various Realms fixes, including border focus issues on medium-sized Realm stories and a fix for Xbox Live sign-in hanging indefinitely
• Stricter schema parsing for entity JSON files, meaning invalid data will now fail to load rather than silently falling back

How to Download Minecraft on Each Platform

Windows / Xbox

• Windows: Minecraft Preview installs as a separate app alongside your main game, so your regular worlds stay untouched
• Xbox: Open the Xbox Insider Hub app → go to Previews → select Preview → click Join. Then go to My Games & Apps > Full library > Owned games to install. If already installed, go to Manage > Updates to download the patch

PlayStation

• Open your standard Minecraft app → Settings menu from the main title screen → scroll to Preview in the sidebar and opt in from there

Android

• The beta is available via Google Play, but note this replaces your main app while enrolled — back up your worlds first
• Mojang noted the Android beta may arrive with a delay compared to other platforms this week

iOS / iPadOS

• Preview installs as a separate app, so your main game and worlds remain safe

Important: Switch is not part of the public Beta/Preview program on any platform.

Should You Install It?

If you’re on Windows, Xbox, PlayStation, or iOS, there’s little downside — Preview runs separately from your main game. On Android, only join if you’ve backed up any worlds you care about, since the beta replaces your primary install. Creators working with custom entity JSON or collision boxes should test now, since the schema changes could break existing packs when their format version reaches 1.26.60.
