Minecraft 1.21 Snapshot 24w18a is out now with tons of nice changes to the trial chambers, new paintings, lots of new music, and even more. The technical changes now allow for things like datapack enchantments and the bug fixes count up to 57. This snapshot brings 3 new music discs, which come with 9 new music soundtracks. These background tracks will play in the main menu, along with some specific biomes in the Overworld dimension. The Creator track is the color of oxidized copper and can be found only in ominous vaults. This snapshot has 15 new paintings from the original artist Kristoffer Zetterstrand. Remember how copper doors and trapdoors required whole blocks instead of just ingots? Well, that has now changed. Yes, you may craft these amazing decorative blocks with copper ingots. However, crafting any oxidized version of these blocks is no longer possible.
