Real Player Interactions and Enchanced Mob Behavior

Minecraft Bedrock Beta 26.0.24 – Full Patch Notes This beta introduces new player-to-player actions, improved mob behavior from the 1.21.130 update, and changes to the Nether ecosystem. Player Interactions: • Hold Hands: Right-click another player’s hand to walk together with a synced animation. • Carry Player (Awake): Hold right-click to lift another player. The carried player holds the carrier’s chest; movement is slightly slower. • Carry Unconscious Player: A new Faint state has been added. Players can lift and transport a fainted teammate with a special rescue animation. • Hug: Hold right-click for 1 second to trigger Hug. Both players wrap arms around each other and gain the Calm effect. Mobs (from 1.21.130): • Zombie Nautilus: Now hostile instead of neutral. Detects players at 12 blocks, swims faster when aggressive, performs a spinning tentacle attack, and keeps its wet dark shell drop. Nether Changes: • Hostile Ghasts vs Happy Ghasts: Hostile Ghasts now attack Happy Ghasts on sight (20-block range). Happy Ghasts flee faster and vanish in pink particles after two hits. Bug Fixes: • Fixed an issue where some servers randomly kicked players when spawning new mobs or using player interactions. This problem is now under review for a final fix.
