26.3 Pre-Release 1 Server Hosting

26.3 Pre-Release 1 is the first pre-release of Minecraft 26.3, Wilderness Bound, published shortly before the September 15, 2026 launch. Pre-releases are feature-complete test builds: all the drop's content is in – dappled forests with poplar trees and shelf mushrooms, abandoned camps with explorer maps, wool and concrete stairs and slabs, cushions and single-use straw beds – and Mojang focuses on fixing bugs. It's ideal for server owners who want to prepare worlds, maps and data packs for the release.

No Manual Setup

You don't need to download the pre-release jar or Java 25. Choose 26.3 Pre-Release 1 in the ScalaCube control panel and press install. Players enable snapshots in the launcher and connect. When you're ready, switch to Vanilla 26.3.
