Download Minecraft 26.30.28 / 1.26.30.28 APK for Android and try the new Minecraft Beta with Chaos Cubed music, fixed Sulfur Cubes, and reworked Potent Sulfur geysers on your phone.

This Beta version isn’t a stable release — it’s the build where Mojang is polishing Chaos Cubed before it goes live. Worth installing if you want to hear the new soundtrack and test mob fixes early.

Minecraft 26.30.28 is a Beta version on the Android channel. The same update ships as a Preview on Xbox, PlayStation, Windows, and iOS — same content, different platform branding.

What changed in Minecraft 26.30.28

Chaos Cubed soundtrack	Six new tracks by fingerspit, including the Bounce music disc.
Sulfur Cube polish	Block alignment fixes, TNT ignition rules, Peaceful spawning.
Potent Sulfur	Gas and plume pass through scaffolding, geyser timing fixed.
Graphics	Texture streaming re-enabled, Vibrant Visuals cloud and armor fixes.
Realms	Save sizes, subscription modals, and edit world screens corrected.

The Chaos Cubed soundtrack lands

Composer fingerspit (Paula Ruiz) wrote six tracks for this drop. The Bounce music disc appears inside Minecarts with Chests in abandoned mineshafts inside Sulfur Caves — a small Easter egg worth digging for.

The other tracks — Ebb, Home, Memories, Nightly, Shores — play in the main menu, Creative Mode, and across a long list of biomes including Mesa, Cherry Grove, Lush Caves, and Sulfur Caves themselves.

Sulfur Cube fixes that actually matter

The block inside a Sulfur Cube now matches the size of a normal block and aligns to the grid when the cube is invisible. TNT Sulfur Cubes finally respect the mobGriefing and tntExplosionDropDecay game rules, so explosions behave like the rest of your world settings.

Flaming arrows, blaze fireballs, and Fire Aspect tools can now ignite TNT cubes. Sulfur Cubes spawn on Peaceful difficulty too, and the small variant got a new model and texture.

Potent Sulfur and geyser tuning

Noxious Gas now rises through waterlogged non-collidable blocks, and erupting Potent Sulfur can push entities through Scaffolding — a working alternative to Copper Grates if you want to stand near a geyser without choking.

High-latency players get less jitter when launched, Creative flight no longer gets pushed around, and geyser eruption timing is now tied to block position instead of being randomized at placement.

Graphics, Realms, and stability

Texture streaming is back on Android after the blank texture bug was patched. Shulker boxes render correctly in the inventory, clouds stop jittering with upscaling, and armor no longer flickers in Vibrant Visuals.

Bone Meal on Dirt in shallow water now correctly creates Seagrass or Coral again, and Bees can follow and breed via Chorus Flowers and Spore Blossoms.

Device requirements

Minecraft 26.30.28 runs on the same Android range as recent 1.26 builds. Mid-tier phones from the last five years handle it without issues. Free up around a gigabyte before installing the APK.

Game version	26.30.28 (1.26.30.28)
Platform	Android APK
Edition	Minecraft Bedrock Edition Beta
Release type	Beta version
Drop	Chaos Cubed

How to install Minecraft 26.30.28 APK

Back up your worlds first — Beta builds change save formats and can’t always roll back. Then install the APK over your current Minecraft build and check the version number on the start screen before loading anything important.

Compare other builds in the Minecraft 26 download section if you want to switch back to a stable version later.

Safety check

The APK should identify itself as 26.30.28 — not as a renamed older build. Match version label, file size, and package name to what Mojang has published. Avoid mirrors promising extra features that aren’t in the official changelog.
