Download Minecraft 26.62 / 1.26.62 APK to fix interaction with entities inside blocks. It’s a small hotfix for the latest update rather than a Beta, so it brings fixes, not new content. Alongside the entity bug, it handles a Realms purchase issue and two stability problems on Xbox and Nintendo Switch 2.

Minecraft 26.62 / 1.26.62 at a glance

Mojang lists four fixes in this hotfix, and only two of them are relevant on Android. The table ranks all four by how much they matter there. Need a different build? You can download Minecraft Bedrock APK files for other releases too.

Area	Main change
Interacting with entities	Entities inside blocks no longer lose out to block selection
Buying a Realm	Saved cloud sync settings can’t overwrite purchase config values
Xbox stability	The console holds up better when memory runs low
Nintendo Switch 2 crashes	Scenes packed with objects no longer bring the game down

The patch reaches each platform once it’s approved there, so it may show up on different devices at different times.

The fixes in practice

Block selection stops getting in the way

Block selection is how Minecraft Bedrock marks the block you’re aiming at. When an entity, such as a mob, sat inside a block, the game could select the block instead and leave you unable to interact with the entity. The update removes that conflict, so aiming at the entity now works the way you’d expect.

Cloud sync stays out of Realms purchases

A Realms purchase uses certain config values while it goes through. Cloud sync settings the game had stored earlier could sometimes replace them. MCPE 26.62 / 1.26.62 puts a stop to that, so the purchase sticks to the values it’s meant to use.

Stability fixes for Xbox and Nintendo Switch 2

Both remaining fixes are for consoles. Xbox should cope better with heavy memory use, and a crash that could hit Nintendo Switch 2 in object-heavy scenes is gone. If you only play on Android, this part won’t matter to you.

For phone players who never buy Realms, Minecraft PE 26.62 / 1.26.62 boils down to the entity fix. Other builds in this series are listed on the Minecraft 1.26 download page.

A small but worthwhile download: it clears up an interaction bug anyone could run into, with nothing new to learn or adjust to.

FAQ

Can I download Minecraft 26.62.1 as an APK for Android?

You can. This page has the APK for the hotfix, and downloading it is free. It’s the same build described above, with the entity fix included.

What does Minecraft 26.62 actually fix?

Mainly the bug where block selection blocked interaction with entities sitting inside blocks. It’s a hotfix, not a Beta, so no new blocks or mobs come with it.

Does this hotfix change anything when I buy a Realm?

Yes. The config values your purchase relies on stay intact, since cached cloud sync settings can no longer write over them.

Does Minecraft 26.62 fix crashes on Android?

Not according to the official changelog. The stability work in this hotfix covers Xbox and Nintendo Switch 2 only, with nothing similar listed for other platforms.
