What is new in 26.1

Tiny Takeover was released on 24 March 2026 and is the first version with Mojang's new numbering: the year first, then the drop, and a third number for hotfixes such as 26.1.1 and 26.1.2.

New baby mobs

Baby mobs have their own model and texture now, instead of a scaled-down adult.

Golden Dandelion

Feed one to a baby mob and it stops growing; feed it another and it grows again. It does not work on undead babies, piglins and villagers.

Crafting name tags

You now make a name tag from paper and a nugget of any kind.

Trumpet in the note block

A note block on a copper block plays a trumpet sound that changes with the oxidation of the copper.

Stonecutter

The stonecutter now turns stone and deepslate straight into their cobbled variants.

Full changelog

This version on your own server

Choose type and version

Paper, Purpur, Vanilla or Fabric, in every version on our mirror. We add the right Java automatically.

Switch later

With the wizard in the panel you pick another type or version. We back up your server first, then it is reinstalled.

Plugins and mods

A plugin or mod has to support your server version. After a new release it often takes a while before everything is updated; check before you switch.

Players on the same version

A Java player connects with the version the server runs. When you switch, tell your players which version to pick in the launcher.

Frequently asked questions

Can I switch to another Minecraft version later?
Yes. With the wizard in the panel you pick another type or version. We back up your server first, then it is reinstalled with the right Java.
Does my world come along to a new version?
Minecraft converts a world to the new version as soon as the server loads it. Going back to an older version does not work well, so keep the backup from before the switch.
Will my plugins work on a new version?
Only if the plugin supports that version. Check the plugin page before you switch; after a big release, updates sometimes take a while.
Can players on another version join?
Not by default: a Java player picks the same version as the server in the launcher. With a plugin such as ViaVersion you can let newer clients join an older server.
