Minecraft’s last game drop of 2026 enters testing: ice caves, the frostbite and ice balls
Published:
On September 30, 2026, Mojang Studios opened testing for the final Minecraft game drop of 2026.
What’s new
New ice caves, decorated with ice crystals and icicles; the icicles are fragile.
A new mob, the frostbite (a frozen zombie variant), throws ice balls; Mojang also mentions a Freezing potion.
The first test build, on September 30, is a Bedrock Edition preview/beta; the post also explains how to enable Java Edition snapshots in the Minecraft Launcher.
Mojang warns that testing versions can corrupt worlds and asks players to back them up or use a separate folder.
What it means for account value
Minecraft accounts are valued on the account type (Java or Bedrock), the username and capes — not on in-game content. Updates like these change what players can do, not what an account is worth.

Minecraft Dungeons II is out: the Sift dimension and the Illager High Council
Published:
Mojang Studios launched Minecraft Dungeons II on September 29, 2026.
What’s new
Available on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
The story pits players against the Illager High Council — the Prime Enchanter, the Supreme Evoker and the Grand Illusioner.
Players explore a new dimension, the Sift, which Mojang says will also come to Minecraft Java and Bedrock next year.
Solo play or co-op for up to 4 players, online or on the same screen.
What it means for account value
Dungeons II is a separate game. Minecraft Java and Bedrock accounts are still valued on account type, username and capes, so the launch does not change what they are worth.
