Minecraft 26.3 Snapshot 4 Patch Notes (16th July 2026)
Minecraft Dungeons II sends you across two worlds to stop a new evil. Pre-orders are live with exclusive cosmetics and hero skins.

Minecraft Dungeons II is here, and it's asking you to trade your pickaxe for a sword. This new chapter in the Dungeons saga expands beyond the Overworld into unexplored lands and mysterious locations, tasking you and up to three friends with stopping a fresh threat that spans two worlds.
The sequel leans hard into combat. You'll face off against new, challenging enemies designed to test your reflexes and strategy in ways the original didn't quite demand. The gear system has expanded too: legendary weapons, armour, and artifacts let you craft a hero tailored to your playstyle, whether you're going for raw damage or tactical support across a four-player party.
If you're considering it, pre-orders are live now. You'll snag two hero skins, the Twisted cape, and a Twisted chicken pet right away. The Deluxe Edition bundles the base game with four additional skins, the Soul cape, the Blub pet companion, and the first two DLC packs when they release. Check the official announcement for pre-order details and everything included in each edition.
