Download Minecraft 26.70.21 / 1.26.70.21 APK to try the built-in Music Features Add-On with its Disc Press and Pocket Jukebox. On the ice side, this Beta adds Packed Ice Bricks to the Drop 4 of 2026 content and makes Crevasses in Ice Caves more dangerous. Android players also get fixes for world saving, menus and Marketplace search.

Quick Summary

Mojang’s notes run long, so the table keeps only what matters in play, biggest first. For any other build, see our Minecraft APK downloads.

Area	Main change
Music	Built-in add-on lets you press discs and carry music
Building	New blue Packed Ice Bricks that never melt
Exploring	Crevasses can now drop you into caves below
Combat	Guardians and Elder Guardians hit harder, as in Java
Progress	Worlds no longer fail to save when the game is suspended

The music add-on is already in your game: just add its resource pack to a world. It does not work with Realms yet.

What You Will Notice in Game

Disc Press and Pocket Jukebox

The Disc Press turns craftable Blank Discs into Track Discs for a Jukebox and comes loaded with Minecraft main menu songs. The add-on needs no Marketplace download. A Pocket Jukebox, crafted from a bundle, holds up to 20 discs only you can hear. If the press looks empty, restart the game.

Packed Ice Bricks and Riskier Crevasses

Minecraft Bedrock builders can use Packed Ice Bricks like any brick set and mine them best with a pickaxe. Brittle Ice is now a real hazard: if it breaks, you can fall into the cave under a Crevasse. Outside Ice Caves, Frostbite no longer spawns naturally underground, and Redstone Dust now extends Potions of Freezing.

Tougher Guardians, Smarter Frost Walker

In MCPE, Guardians now deal 6 base damage instead of 5, and Elder Guardians rise to 8. With Frost Walker, water freezes in an even circle and only while you are on the ground, so diving in no longer ends in fatal fall damage on Frosted Ice.

Steadier Saves and Smoother Menus

For phone players, the key fix in Minecraft PE 26.70.21 / 1.26.70.21 is that switching apps or closing the game no longer costs you progress. Smaller menu fixes mean less waiting and fewer interruptions:

Long stays in menus no longer trigger a crash
Sign-in and menu loading come with fewer delays
Marketplace searches on Android no longer bounce you back

The rest of this series is on our Minecraft PE 1.26 download page.

This build is worth testing for the music add-on and Packed Ice Bricks, while saving and menu fixes make sessions more reliable.
