Download Minecraft 26.51 / 1.26.51 APK for Android to get a fix for a crash that could hit while loading a world. The bug affected worlds with large, densely connected structures of blocks such as fences, glass panes, iron bars, or walls. Mojang is rolling out this build as a hotfix for the latest update, not as a Beta. If such a world kept crashing on your phone, this is the download to get.
A quick look at the MCPE 26.51 hotfix
The changelog lists a single stability fix, so the table below stays short. Other versions for Android are listed in our Minecraft APK downloads section.

This hotfix goes live on each platform once it is approved, so the official update may take a little while to reach your phone.
Why this crash fix matters
This fix may look minor, yet a crash at load time can lock you out of a Minecraft PE world you care about.
Big builds made of connecting blocks
Fences, glass panes, iron bars, and walls join up with the blocks next to them. Large, tightly packed structures of these pieces could crash the game as a world loaded. Minecraft Bedrock 26.51 / 1.26.51 fixes that crash, so those structures should no longer trigger it on load. It is worth the download if your worlds are full of such builds.
Need a different release from the same version line? The Minecraft PE 1.26 download page groups them, so you can grab another APK there.
A narrow but welcome repair: the notes mention no new blocks or features, just the loading crash fix.
