26.2 Snapshot 2 (known as 26.2-snapshot-2 in the launcher) is the second snapshot for Java Edition 26.2, released on April 9, 2026, which fixes several major issues found in the previous snapshot.

Changes

General

Debug screen

• The fps F3 screen entry will now report which type of present mode is used (e.g. mailbox or fifo relaxed), as opposed to just vsync.

Performance

• Upgrading certain worlds from before 26.1 can now be faster.

Fixes

7 issues fixed

From released versions before 26.2

• MC-306840 – Dolphins still drown themselves when no players are nearby.

From the previous development version

• MC-307286 – The game process does not terminate after exiting the game.
• MC-307296 – Launching the game with an incompatible resource pack that modifies core shaders causes the game to softlock.
• MC-307311 – Core shaders only load after restart when using Vulkan.
• MC-307320 – Vulkan prevents the game from opening and crashes some GPUs.
• MC-307349 – The game crashes before opening.
• MC-307383 – The "Exclusive Fullscreen" setting does not work with the Vulkan rendering backend.
