Minecraft Preview 26.60.29: Winter Is Coming to the Overworld

Frozen Overworld Expansion
Deep beneath cold biomes, you can now discover dangerous Ice Caves filled with massive icicles and crystals. These frigid depths introduce the Frostbite, a new zombie variant that hunts you down with ranged ice balls and melee freezing attacks.
Chilling Features & Tweaks
- Freezing Effect: A new status debuff reduces jump height and deals damage over time.
- Icicle Hazards: Hanging stalactites now pose a legitimate physical threat by falling on entities.
- Realms: Massive improvements made to world download speeds for better connectivity.
Everything else is just minor UI refinements and bug fixes. A solid, spooky expansion that makes cold biomes finally feel worth exploring.
