Here's my thinking: Mojang wants to make sure that in the Rebalance, an Enchanted Book was still a master trade. Which does line up with the purpose of the experiment, but clearly Mojang doesn't seem committed to Candles being (1/2)

26.1 Pre-Release 2 is out! With a change to the Master Librarian trade in the Villager Trade Rebalance!
Removing the Name Tag trade most likely had a side effect on the experiment that this is fixing. But still very interesting to see this get touched.

Will a fishing update be revealed at #MinecraftLive? Let's take a look at the evidence and some ideas: 🎣
Bedrock 26.0 added two biome tags: fast_fishing and high_seas. The first is for biomes where fishing is faster, and the second is for biomes (1/7)
#Minecraft #MinecraftUpdate
Looking in the crowd to see who notices these two and makes an End Update theory
#Minecraft #MinecraftUpdate
First 26.1 Pre-Release! And #MinecraftLIVE is March 21st!
#Minecraft #MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
Expecting 26.1 Pre-Release 1 today. If we get another snapshot, then 26.1 is almost definitely not releasing before the 31st.

TINY TAKEOVER is the name of the 2026 Spring Drop!
Yes I called February's Minecraft Monthly being late. Yes this is technically February's.
#Minecraft #MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
We are on track for pre-release 1 next week and a March 24 full release!
The first pre-release of Spring To Life was March 11 for a March 25 release, so that's what this prediction is based in.

Candles is not at all what I was expecting. I like the idea of being able to buy them from Villagers, but not too exciting as the final trade for a Librarian.
It is still possible that this is a placeholder for a future drop though!
#Minecraft #MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
Here's what this post was hinting toward! I'm actually really interested in seeing what can be done with this.
#Minecraft #MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
Final texture, sound, and even animation tweaks! Plus new Candle trades for Master Librarians!
#Minecraft #MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
Today we might find out what Mojang has planned for the Librarian's Master-Level trade!
Either it gets replaced or it remains empty, which would also be very interesting.
#Minecraft #MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
The End Update is 100% possible within the drop system and can still have more snapshot time than the Nether Update got. Here's how: (1/4)
#Minecraft #MinecraftUpdate
We've seen Mojang's art team make new textures for all Dyes and Spawn Eggs last year, and they just finished textures for all the Baby Mobs.
Thinking we can see unique textures for Enchanted Books or Potions by end of year.
#Minecraft #MinecraftUpdate
We still haven't gotten #Minecraft Monthly yet, where we could get the name of the drop. Most likely either today or Thursday. Minecraft Monthly is very inconsistent with which weekday it is, but Thursdays are more common so that's my bet.
#MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
Bedrock is adjusting Name Tags' place in trades and loot tables! We saw the same thing with Saddles last year so this isn't a huge deal, but it's likely Mojang is aware that these trades and loot tables are in need of a refresh.
#Minecraft #MinecraftUpdate
BABY ZOMBIES have SMALLER HEADS and GOLDEN DANDELION improvements!
#Minecraft #MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
This week's snapshot could include the new panorama, and the name might be revealed in Minecraft Monthly. Besides that, maybe we see some of the changes people have been hoping for.
What do you think the name will be?

The name of the Spring Drop will likely be announced on Tuesday in a #Minecraft Monthly.
If we don't hear it then, they'll probably just tell us at #MinecraftLive.
My name prediction since Day 1 has been "Cute Creatures".
#MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
I keep seeing the renaming for these recipes thought of as a hint for the future.
The names that got changed were all incorrect. This is most likely simply just a consistency fix. There is almost definitely no other purposeful connection here.

My predictions for Java Vibrant Visuals:
- July at latest: Snapshots begin testing with Vulkan API.
- While the community is testing during the fall drop cycle, Mojang begins building VV.
- VV shown at Minecraft Live in September for Winter Drop.
#Minecraft #MinecraftUpdate #MinecraftNews
I think this is a very reasonable prediction. The refactoring part is already done it seems, so a couple months to test the new API, and then VV should be ready to build right on top and hopefully demo at #MinecraftLive in the Fall.
#Minecraft #MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
There's some interesting info here, but what I think is most important is that they're testing a new Graphics API in snapshots this summer — meaning Vibrant Visuals is almost definitely coming to Java sometime AFTER the summer drop.
#Minecraft #MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
This change is MONUMENTAL for builders!
#Minecraft #MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
The final snapshot/preview for Spring To Life were on March 5. Expecting two more for tweaks and fixes before Java goes to Pre-Release and Bedrock goes for certification.
This is also when we may start seeing setup for the next drop!
#Minecraft #MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
Mojang has created a total of 136 new textures for the baby mobs in this drop (I think I counted them all).
This doesn't include the 8 new adult Rabbits or the Golden Dandelion.
#Minecraft #MinecraftUpdate #MinecraftNews
New Baby textures Sniffers, Pandas, Hoglins, Zoglins, and Striders!
#Minecraft #MinecraftNews #MinecraftUpdate
Minecraft’s baby mobs update continues to grow, adding more floofy and feral baby mobs in testing alongside the golden dandelion. Host your Minecraft server with AleForge and test updates together.
