Minecraft Bedrock 26.20.21 - the Next Game Drop is close

Update 26.20.21 for Bedrock was released today. Essentially, it prepares the game for the next update. We don't know what it will be like yet, but it's just around the corner and we'll find out about Minecraft 26.4 or whatever it ends up being called very soon.

Changes:

Important info and tall grass:

In this week's preview, you can't join Realms-they'll be back next week. The main changes involve tall grass. It no longer breaks when bone meal is used, and bone meal no longer creates the top part of the grass over other plants.

Fixes and textures:

Fall damage effects should now trigger when hitting the ground, but this doesnt always work correctly with mobs. We've updated the textures for bee larvae so they now match the adults; the changes are minimal. Fixed a lighting issue in empty chests in Vibrant Visuals mode, and bugs with incorrect textures after loading the world.

We've also fixed a number of visual bugs, including broken textures for blocks portals, and other elements.

Other fixes:

Fixed an input issue when switching Joy-Cons. Updated the texture of the sleeping snow fox so that its eyes now match the adult version. Fixed cursor and Backspace key issues on iOS. Improved UI display on devices with notches so that content scrolls correctly. Furnace recipes now open when materials are obtained (currently only in experimental settings).

Overall, this update is mainly focused on bugfixes and preparing for the game's next drop-we're looking forward to it.
