Minecraft Snapshot 26.4-4: Brittle Ice and Jukebox Playlists Arrive

Major Update Features

Minecraft 26.4 Snapshot 4 introduces automated Jukebox playlists and a treacherous new block. You can now chain music discs by placing a chest above your Jukebox, or explore dangerous new Ice Caves filled with fragile Brittle Ice.

Detailed Tweaks & Features

  • Jukebox Automation: Chests placed above a Jukebox now function as automatic disc loopers.
  • Brittle Ice: This new 🔴 block cracks and shatters when stepped on by players.
  • Mob Updates: Drowned, Zombies, and Husks are now immune to freezing damage.

Various minor bug fixes resolve long-standing parity and UI issues. Finally, the Jukebox playlist feature is a massive W for base builders.
