Minecraft’s last game drop of 2026 enters testing: ice caves, the frostbite and ice balls

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.

GameAccountValue does not buy, sell or broker accounts. News is summarised from publisher announcements for information only.
