Snapshots are Mojang's weekly test builds of Minecraft Java Edition. 26.3 Snapshot 4 is an early development build of the upcoming Minecraft 26.3 update. It gives you a first look at new blocks, mobs and mechanics that Mojang is still working on, before they reach the full release.
Running a snapshot on a private server is the easiest way to explore these features with friends and report bugs to Mojang.
You don't need to download a server jar from Mojang or configure anything yourself. In the ScalaCube control panel, choose Snapshot 26.3-snapshot-4, click install and the server is ready. Newer snapshots can be selected the same way.
Automated backups let you keep copies of your test world. You also get FTP access, RCON, a free subdomain and unlimited player slots. With 14 locations worldwide, your friends can connect with low ping.
Try it on our Minecraft server hosting plans – no setup fees and a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Visit ScalaCube's Minecraft server hosting, select Snapshot 26.3-snapshot-4, choose a server version and location, and create your server. You can then configure its settings in the control panel.
In the Minecraft Launcher, enable snapshots under Installations, select 26.3 Snapshot 4 and join your server address.
A vanilla snapshot runs well on 1.5–3 GB, depending on player count.
