Mojang’s Bedrock 26.30 changelog removed the warning shown when creating a world with add-ons enabled; that change does not confirm that every add-on preserves achievements. A later hotfix addressed a specific achievement bug in older worlds using Marketplace add-ons, while players have reported separate issues with third-party packs.
What changed in Bedrock 26.30, 26.50, and 26.52?
The version history matters because the warning change and the later fix are different things:
| # | Preview | Product | Price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |
|
Minecraft - Bedrock Edition PS4 | $42.98 | Buy on Amazon |
| 2 |
|
Minecraft | Java & Bedrock Deluxe Collection | Windows Digital Code | $39.99 | Buy on Amazon |
| 3 |

Playstation, Minecraft Bedrock for PS4 | $41.99 | Buy on Amazon |
- Bedrock 26.30: Mojang said it “Removed warning text that ‘you can’t earn achievements’ when creating a world with Add-ons enabled.” This removed the warning; it did not establish that every add-on is achievement-safe. Read the 26.30 Bedrock changelog.
- Bedrock 26.50 and 26.52: The 26.52 hotfix changelog, posted September 25, 2026, says Mojang fixed an issue where older worlds with activated Marketplace add-ons disabled achievements at and after 26.50. The stated fix is specific to that Marketplace-related issue; it does not say that all third-party add-ons are covered. Read the 26.52 hotfix changelog.
Players also reported third-party packs affecting achievements after 26.50, including packs they described as visual or quality-of-life add-ons. Those are community reports, not an official rule for every pack or platform. See the Minecraft Feedback post. The 26.50 changelog does not provide a comprehensive add-on achievement rule. Read the 26.50 changelog.
Does this apply to Java Edition?
No conclusion about Java Edition follows from these Bedrock changelogs or Bedrock support instructions. The version-specific changes above concern Minecraft: Bedrock Edition; do not use them as a general rule for Java worlds.

How to check a world and remove an add-on safely
If you want to troubleshoot a Bedrock world, first identify the game version and whether the active pack is Marketplace content or a third-party pack, and whether it is a resource pack or behavior pack. The official sources do not provide a complete compatibility list for every combination.
- Back up the world first. Minecraft Help warns that disabling packs can change a world: add-on mobs may be removed and add-on blocks may be replaced with default blocks.
- For a single-player world: select Play, choose the pencil icon beside the world, open Resource packs or Behavior packs, select Active, then remove the pack you want to test.
- For a Realm: the Realm owner can edit the world’s active packs and deactivate the relevant resource or behavior pack.
- Reopen the updated game and check that world’s achievement status. Minecraft Help says disabling a pack does not remove it from device storage or the account. Official guidance does not document a universal way to restore eligibility to every world, so do not assume removing a pack will reverse an earlier achievement restriction.
These backup and deactivation instructions are from Minecraft Help’s Bedrock add-on troubleshooting guide.
