The main fixes explained

Texture Streaming and Vibrant Visuals

Most visible work here is graphical. Guardian and End Crystal beams now show real textures instead of white cylinders with Texture Streaming on, the enchantment glint no longer fades from items, and high-resolution pack textures stop looking blurry. Anti-aliasing also applies correctly in fullscreen.

Sulfur Cube behavior

Several Sulfur Cube bugs are gone. Cubes no longer push each other on adjacent blocks, they stop absorbing a block from over 8 blocks away, and a cube holding a block can no longer freeze.

Captured mobs and audio

Mobs released from a Bucket no longer keep fire, fall damage, or status effects from before capture. Shulker, Pillager, and Panda sounds are repaired, and music now stops next to a playing Jukebox.

How to download Minecraft 26.40.20 on Android

The Beta is free and reaches Google Play once Mojang approves it per platform, so a manual APK is faster. Back up your worlds, then install over your current game without uninstalling — saves stay in place.

This is a testing build, so open a separate world first. Unfinished features can behave unexpectedly on some devices.

File safety and version check

Check that the file name, version number, and Android compatibility match your phone before installing. After it opens, confirm the main screen reads 26.40.20 / 1.26.40.20. Download Minecraft 26.40.20 apk only from a source that lists the build number and file size so you know what you are installing.

Once the version checks out, the graphics and Sulfur Cube fixes are active and ready to test.
