Only editions with known planned updates are listed here; if no known planned updates exist, the edition is left out.

26.3, the release of the third game drop of 2026, is a game drop set to release in the third quarter of 2026, which adds the dappled forest biome, including red shrubs, shelf mushrooms, wool stairs and slabs, and a new abandoned camp structure.

26.40 is a minor update with no set release date, which adds experimental features for the third drop of 2026 and fixes bugs.
