Minecraft Tiny Takeover Begins Rolling Out Worldwide

Mojang's first 2026 drop centers on baby mobs with craftable tools that freeze aging.

Overview

  • The Tiny Takeover update, version 26.1, is releasing in a staggered window with outlets expecting an 8 AM PT start based on past drops.
  • All baby mobs receive new models, textures, animations, and sounds to change how they look and feel in play.
  • Players can craft Golden Dandelions to stop baby mobs from growing, using one regular dandelion and eight gold nuggets.
  • Name Tags become craftable with paper and any metal nugget, and the patch also brings lighting and performance improvements.
  • Regional time guides and live countdowns from community sites help players track when the update appears on their launcher.
