Mojang has shipped Minecraft Bedrock 1.26.33.2, the next step in the 26.33 hotfix series. It supersedes 1.26.33.1 and — as usual for hotfixes — focuses on stability rather than new content. It still matters to you as a server owner: Bedrock clients on mobile, console and Windows update themselves automatically, and your server should keep pace with the client version.
What is new in Minecraft Bedrock 1.26.33.2
According to Mojang, the 26.33 hotfix series addresses issues found after the latest major update. The official Bedrock changelog section lists, among the fixes for this series, a repair for texture bleeding on custom blocks that could occur with automatic block face UV assignment and undersized textures — mainly relevant for servers using their own resource packs or addons with custom blocks. Mojang rolls hotfixes out platform by platform, so it can take a moment until the update reaches every device. The full per-version details are in the linked changelog section.
Server compatibility
| Setup | What 1.26.33.2 means for it |
|---|---|
| Bedrock server (BDS) | Update recommended once clients are on 1.26.33.2 |
| Java server with Geyser crossplay | No BDS update needed — a current Geyser handles the new clients |
| Pure Java server without crossplay | Not affected |
The key point: Bedrock is strictly version-coupled. Clients on a newer version often cannot join an outdated Bedrock server anymore. Because clients auto-update, the gap always opens on the server side — and updating closes it. Unlike the Java world, Bedrock has no established compatibility plugins serving multiple versions at once; the server version is the only lever, and it is in your hands.
How to update your server at game-serverhosting
- Take a backup: save your worlds via the Backups tab in the server panel.
- Open the version switch: in the panel, pick the version switch under your server settings and select the new Bedrock version.
- Confirm and restart: the server pulls the new version and restarts — worlds and settings are preserved.
- Verify briefly: join once yourself after the restart. Done.
If you run a Java server with Bedrock crossplay, there is nothing to change on the Minecraft side — just keep Geyser current, which comes pre-installed on every Minecraft server at game-serverhosting.
FAQ
Will my players lose progress during the update?
No. The update touches the server software, not your world data. The backup you took beforehand covers you on top.
Do my players need to do anything?
Usually not — Bedrock clients update automatically on all platforms. Since Mojang rolls out per platform, timing can vary slightly per device.
What happens if I skip the update?
Once your players' clients are newer than your server, join problems can appear. Applying hotfixes promptly is the safest route.
Does the hotfix affect my Java crossplay setup?
Only indirectly: your Java server stays untouched, but Geyser should be current so it serves the new Bedrock clients correctly.
I use custom blocks via addons — is the fix relevant for me?
Yes, that is exactly the setup the official changelog's texture-bleeding fix targets. After the update, affected blocks should render cleanly again.
How do I stay on top of future Bedrock updates?
Mojang tends to ship hotfixes with little advance notice. Two simple habits cover you: keep an eye on the official changelog section — and check our news section regularly, where we contextualise server-relevant releases like this one. That way no update that affects your players slips past you.
