Today we are shipping the third pre-release for 26.2, with a few changes and fixes!
With today's pre-release we're reverting a fix that patched an exploit, known as "Attribute Swapping", for unrelated reasons.
Please note that this does not mean "Attribute Swapping" is a supported functionality - it will instead be fixed in a future snapshot.
To install the Pre-Release, open up the Minecraft Launcher and enable snapshots in the "Installations" tab.
Testing versions can corrupt your world, so please backup and/or run them in a different folder from your main worlds.
