The wait is almost over. TogetherCraft is officially updating to Minecraft 26.1.2 on Monday 4th May, bringing the Tiny Takeover drop from 26.1 alongside the latest 26.1.2 hotfix from Mojang.
This update is packed with adorable chaos, quality of life improvements, new mob details, and plenty of behind the scenes fixes to help keep everything running smoothly across the TogetherCraft network.


Tiny Mobs Have Taken Over Minecraft
The Tiny Takeover update is all about making the smaller side of Minecraft feel even more alive. Baby mobs have received new visuals, more sounds have been added, Name Tags are now craftable, and a brand new Golden Dandelion has arrived to help keep baby mobs small.
Honestly, we are not entirely sure we are ready for this level of adorable chaos.
Here is what you can look forward to with the Minecraft 26.1 and 26.1.2 update:
🐤 Updated visuals for most baby mobs
🐺 New baby sounds for Wolves, Cats, Pigs, Horses, and Chickens
🌻 Added the Golden Dandelion, which can stop baby mobs from growing up
📛 Name Tags are now craftable using 1 Paper and 1 Metal Nugget
🐱 New adult sound variants for Cats, Pigs, Cows, and Chickens
🎺 Added a trumpet instrument sound when using a Note Block on Copper Blocks
🐰 Updated Rabbit models, textures, and animations
⛏️ More direct Stonecutter crafting options for Stone and Deepslate variants
🐛 Includes the latest 26.1.2 hotfixes from Mojang

When Is TogetherCraft Updating?
TogetherCraft will be updating to Minecraft 26.1.2 on:
Monday 4th May
Maintenance begins: 8am UTC
Expected reopening: 7pm UTC
During this time, the TogetherCraft network will enter maintenance mode while we update everything safely.
This update will include the full TogetherCraft network, including:
Survival, Lobby, Hardcore, Bedwars, Adventure, and Creative.
We will keep everyone updated throughout the day as work progresses.


Why Is Maintenance Needed?
TogetherCraft is not a plain vanilla Minecraft world. We have a large long term survival world, custom systems, multiple servers, plugins, protections, ranks, cosmetics, events, and plenty of moving parts behind the scenes.
When a Minecraft update arrives, we need time to carefully update our plugins, test everything, check for issues, and make sure the server is running properly before players return.
The last thing we want is double barrels, missing vaults, empty ender chests, or baby mobs somehow unionising while we are not looking.


Sorry For Stealing Another Monday
We are sorry for the short notice, and we are also sorry for stealing another Monday from you all. Mondays are apparently my favourite day for causing mild chaos.
That said, we want to update TogetherCraft as soon as we safely can. Updating quickly means we can kick start even more fun together, keep the server moving forward, and make sure everything is ready for the latest version of Minecraft.


Will The TogetherCraft World Reset?
No.
Absolutely not.
NOOOOOOOOO.
The TogetherCraft world will not be reset. Everything you have built, collected, created, and loved will remain exactly where you left it.
TogetherCraft is a long term Minecraft survival server, and our world is a huge part of our history. We love this world, and we love everything the community has built together.


Thank You For Your Patience
Thank you to everyone for your patience while we complete the update.
Once maintenance is finished, you will be able to jump back into TogetherCraft, explore the new update, craft Name Tags, protect every tiny mob you see, and discover even more together.
We cannot wait to see what adorable chaos you all create next. 💙
