Mojang has released Minecraft 26.4 Snapshot 4, adding two new features that make the game’s frozen caves both more fun and more dangerous. In the section below, we take a detailed look at everything new in Minecraft 26.4 Snapshot 4. Here are the detailed Minecraft 26.4 Snapshot 4 patch notes: Added Jukebox Playlists Added Brittle Ice Place a single Chest, Trapped Chest, or any Copper Chest variant directly above a Jukebox to use its Music Discs as a playlist Discs play in slot order, skipping empty slots and non-music-disc items, and loop back to the start When a disc finishes, the Jukebox swaps it with the next disc in the chest If the chest has no Music Discs, the disc in the Jukebox plays again Ejecting the current disc skips to the next available disc A new block found in Ice Caves Renamed the minecraft:amethyst block sound set to minecraft:amethyst_block The Data Pack version is now 124.0 The Resource Pack version is now 100.1 The server now more consistently disconnects clients when a packet they sent causes an error Added a crevasse world generation feature type, which carves winding, tapered crevasses into terrain Added the #jukebox_containers and #face_occluding_ice_blocks block tags
Jukeboxes can now run playlists straight from a chest, making dance parties far easier to set up, while the new Brittle Ice block cracks under the feet of anyone who steps on it. The snapshot also tweaks several ice-related blocks and mobs and fixes a long list of bugs.
Once a player or mob steps on it, it starts to crack and eventually breaks The Frostbite can walk on it without breaking it Generates naturally only in Ice Caves, as part of the new crevasse feature Obtainable with Silk Touch Can also be created by water flowing onto a Blue Ice block; any water block bordering the Blue Ice horizontally turns into Brittle Ice Frosted Ice now emits a vibration event when changing state Ice, Frosted Ice, and Brittle Ice no longer show their inside faces when placed next to each other Zombies, Drowned, and Husks are now immune to freezing and take no damage from the Freezing effect Drowned now turn into a Zombie before converting into a Frostbite when in Powder Snow Added custom sounds for Ice, Packed Ice, Blue Ice, and Frosted Ice blocks
