Tiny Takeover
Tiny Takeover gives Minecraft’s smallest mobs a personality of their own. Redesigned babies bring new shapes, textures, sounds, and animations to the world, while Golden Dandelions let you keep a favorite companion young. Craftable Name Tags make it easier to give each one a name.
The first game drop of 2026 was released on March 24, 2026, as Java Edition 26.1 and Bedrock Edition 26.10.
