Minecraft Have another Nether biome - Snapshot 20w15a is out!

Have another Nether biome - Snapshot 20w15a is out!
One of my go-to traps in Minecraft. Works 95% of the time.
I Love the new Soul fire Campfire, but wouldn't it make sence for it to be made with warped wood instead of the normal oak wood?
Ok the new biome is pretty cool
Walls were changed again in 20w15a.
The new biome+blocks are perfect for building ancient/evil castles
Balcony (Half-Life: Alyx)
(Minecraft 1.16) Blackstone can be used for new asphalt, while basalt can be used for old, worn down asphalt to create textured roads.
I didn't like how the quartz bricks looked like, so I created a resource pack that changed the look of the block be more like stone bricks.
The new biome, the basalt delta, looks incredible!
Every new block in 20w15a
With the new blackstone stairs, you can finally do this to the portal corners!
Bathtub that you can sit in
ok ghast, you win, I give up .. spent almost two days in fighting with this model, looks creepy and cool in the editor but in game has some strange UVs weirdness https://imgur.com/gallery/GMEs61m if someone knows what happen here let me know
Still learning blender, here is another beacon. This took me 2 hours and 40 minutes.
I made Bowser in Minecraft
Change missing from the change log: When out of lava, striders become pale and look sad. I feel bad for them!
Nether Portal
Every chiseled block variant has a mob engraved into it!
This feels like modded minecraft. NEW BASALT DELTAS
Made a Realistic Guardian:
My kid told me this is the ‘Creeper of Liberty’
Minecraft landscape (download following soon)
I built a creeper ruin
Made a simple Torii gate, what do you think?
This looks neat! (Blackstone and some of it's variants)

Have another Nether biome - Snapshot 20w15a is out!

Posted: 08 Apr 2020 06:43 AM PDT

It's a wonderful day here in Sweden today! The sun is shining and spring is in the air, and when I say "spring" I mean pollen. Let's remedy that by 1) Staying indoors and 2) Introduce an all new biome with a grain of basalt, blackstone, and magma cubes! To spice it up, we also have some new fine tunes for you to listen to while traversing the Nether. Enjoy the snapshot!

This update can also be found on minecraft.net.

Nether Music

We're happy to announce that we've added three new tracks for the upcoming Nether Update, all composed by the very talented Lena Raine.

Rubedo will be played in the Nether Wastes
So Below will be played in Soul Sand Valleys and in Basalt Deltas
Chrysopoeia will be played in Crimson Forests

Some words from Lena:

"One of the primary instruments in Minecraft is the piano, and so one of my challenges to myself was to see how far I could push the sound of the piano until it resembled other things entirely–again, that alchemical process."
"I wanted each piece to feel like a progression of emotions, or a journey from place to place within this other world. There's a degree of beauty to the Nether, but it is also terrifying in both its details and scale."

Take a portal to the Nether, and stay awhile and listen...
