26.1 Snapshot 3 (known as 26.1-snapshot-3 in the launcher) is the third snapshot for Java Edition 26.1, released on January 13, 2026.[1] It adds several data pack features, such as new block and fluid tags, world clocks, and time markers.
Additions
General
Block tags
- Added the following tags which determine which blocks a category of vegetation can be placed on and survive.
#supports_vegetationfor blocks that provide support to the following blocks:
#supports_cropsfor blocks that provide support to the following crops at all growth stages:#supports_stem_crops#supports_pumpkin_stem#supports_melon_stem#supports_sugar_cane#supports_sugar_cane_adjacently- Which blocks satisfy adjacency support requirements for sugar cane
#supports_cactus#supports_chorus_plant#supports_chorus_flower#supports_nether_sprouts#supports_azalea#supports_warped_fungus#supports_crimson_fungus#supports_mangrove_propagule#supports_hanging_mangrove_propagule#supports_nether_wart#supports_warped_roots#supports_crimson_roots#supports_wither_rose#supports_cocoa#supports_lily_pad#supports_frogspawn- Empty by default
#support_override_cactus_flower- Cactus flowers can be placed on blocks in this tag even if they do not have a sturdy top face.
#cannot_support_seagrass#cannot_support_kelp
#grows_crops which defines which blocks beneath allow the following crops to grow:
#enables_bubble_column_drag_down- Magma block by default.
#enables_bubble_column_push_up- Soul sand by default.
Fluid tags
- Added tags to determine which fluids can support the following blocks:
#supports_lily_pad#supports_frogspawn
- Added
#supports_sugar_cane_adjacently- Contains fluids satisfy adjacency support requirements for sugar cane.
- Added
#bubble_columns_can_occupyfluid tag to define which fluids a bubble column can occupy with water as default.
- Time markers assign a particular name to a specific (optionally repeating) point in time for a specific world clock. Time markers replace the previously predetermined names that could be used by
/time set, for exampledayornight. - Time markers will exist within the context of a specific world clock. This means that even though the different time markers are defined by different Timelines, only one Time Marker can exist with a particular id for a particular world clock. It also means that two world clocks can have a time marker with the same name.
- Built-in uses of time markers
- Some time markers are used to drive Vanilla game behavior. Usually, they are configured to not show up in
/timecommands.minecraft:wake_up_from_sleep- the time to advance the dimension's default clock to when players in that dimension wake up after sleeping.minecraft:roll_village_siege- the time of the dimension's default clock at which the random chance for a zombie village siege to occur should be evaluated.
- Some time markers are used to drive Vanilla game behavior. Usually, they are configured to not show up in
- Built-in uses of time markers
- Each world clock contains an internal time that increases every tick. A world clock can be defined in data packs under the
world_clockregistry (i.e. found under data/<namespace>/world_clock/<id>.json) - A world clock can be paused or resumed, and the time of the clock can be changed or queried, using the
/timecommand.- This allows different dimensions to have different clocks.
- Format: object with no fields
Changes
Blocks
_JE4.png){kind=small}
- Spawn egg without a
entity_datacomponent are dropped as an item. Previously, the dispenser failed to activate.
- The tripwire texture is now rendered as alpha cutout instead of transparent. In other words, the texture is now opaque thus making tripwire easier to see.
Command format
- Both arguments can now be omitted.
- The entity selector will be
@sif omitted - Which hand to swing will be
mainhandif omitted
- The entity selector will be
/time
- The
/timecommand is now based on world clocks. - The return value (e.g. from
/execute store) from thesetandaddsubcommands is now the total elapsed ticks of the clock instead of the current time of day. - Syntax:
/time [of <clock>] set <time>- sets the total elapsed ticks of the clock./time [of <clock>] set <timemarker>- advances the clock forward to the next occurrence of the time marker..- For the
minecraft:overworldclock, the available time markers are:day,noon,night, andmidnight
- For the
/time [of <clock>] add <time>- adds ticks to the clock, can be a negative or a positive number./time [of <clock>] pause- pauses the clock./time [of <clock>] resume- resumes the clock./time [of <clock>] query <timeline>- displays and returns the current number of ticks within the timeline's period./time [of <clock>] query <timeline> repetitions- displays and returns the number of times the timeline's period has repeated./time [of <clock>] query time- displays and returns the total elapsed ticks of the clock./time query gametime- as before, the total elapsed ticks within the world (unaffected by changes made to clocks using/time).
Items
- Now supports a
bundle_containercomponent with a weight greater than 231-1, equivalent to 231-1 stacks.- Previously, the component was removed when the limit was exceeded.
- A bundle exceeding this limit is shown as full, however, when attempting to empty it, add a new item, or view the tooltip, it still appears empty.
- Now, in many cases, it is treated as empty if it has conflicting data, such as having a count greater than
max_stack_size, or havingmax_stack_sizegreater than one along withmax_damage.- When mining a shulker box containing an item stack with a conflicting date, it will treat the item as
Air x0in the tooltip, and placing it in a block the item stack will be removed. - Shooting an arrow with a conflicting date using a crossbow will not be a project.
- Using a bundle to remove an item stack with a conflicting date, no items will be dropped. Viewing the tooltip of the bundle, the game try render an empty stack, causing the game to crash.[2]
- Item stacks with conflicting data can still be placed in chests and in the inventory.
- When mining a shulker box containing an item stack with a conflicting date, it will treat the item as

#snow_layer_cannot_survive_on→#cannot_support_snow_layer
- Renamed the following tags for consistency:
