Minecraft 26.4 Snapshot Adds Brittle Ice and Jukebox Playlists
Minecraft update 26.4's fourth snapshot and Bedrock preview 26.70.20 are live, adding Brittle Ice, Jukebox playlists and mob tweaks.
Minecraft update 26.4's fourth snapshot and Bedrock preview 26.70.20 are now live, according to PCGamesN. The test builds add the Brittle Ice block, Jukebox playlists and several balance changes.
Brittle Ice breaks as players or mobs stand on top of it, except the Frostbite Zombie. Each stage of cracking takes 1.2 seconds, and after the third stage the block breaks completely. Stepping off stops the cracking, but the block does not repair itself over time. When a Brittle Ice block breaks, adjacent Brittle Ice blocks crack one stage further. Brittle Ice can be collected with a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch and generates when flowing water passes a Blue Ice block.
Jukebox playlists let a Chest placed on a Jukebox filled with Music Discs play them in the order they are laid out. Zombies, Drowned and Husks are now immune to the Freezing status effect. Drowned in Powdered Snow now turn into a regular Zombie and then transform into a Frostbite. Frosted Ice blocks now cause a vibration event when they change state due to melting.
Mojang's fourth game drop of the year has been in testing for a couple of weeks.
