Mojang dropped a new Minecraft Java Edition snapshot and Bedrock Preview today. The big addition, according to the official snapshot and preview notes, is concrete slabs and stairs in all 16 concrete colors, part of the game’s third game drop of 2026.
That opens up a lot more control with one of Minecraft’s cleanest-looking building materials. Since concrete was added back in 2017, it’s been limited to full blocks, which meant roofs, sidewalks, furniture, trim, facades, road edges, and interior details often had to be finished with some other block if you wanted the shape to look right.
For anyone building modern houses, storefronts, apartment towers, or bright city projects, this one will land immediately. Players have been asking for it for years across Reddit, TikTok, and the Minecraft forums, so it’s easy to see why so many people are reacting to the update with a long-overdue “finally.”
You can test it now in the latest Minecraft Java Edition snapshot and the matching Minecraft Bedrock Preview for the third game drop of 2026, sometimes labeled by Mojang as 26.3 Snapshot 7. That build also brings Explorer Maps in abandoned camps, updated map icons, the dappled forest biome, poplar trees, and cushions you can actually sit on.
