Minecraft 1.18 Snapshot 21w42a Otherside Music Disc & New Soundtrack!

Hello everyone and welcome back to another minecraft update video this is snapshot21w42a for minecraft 1.18 so on the weekend there was minecraft live the announcement of 1.19 the wild update and this snapshot is not related to that update we are still in the 1.18 development cycle this snapshot is

Mostly about adding new music into the game this is the caves and cliffs original game soundtrack there are 10 tracks in total all of them are composed by lena rayne with the exception of the last three by kumi taneoka and all of these appear inside of the game with the exception of

Track free ancestry this one right here isn’t present in the game at this point in time and that could potentially be a bug that might get remedied as of right now though track 3 isn’t inside of the game but the place where you will hear these songs if you have the music turned

On is in the main menu right here and in the overworld dimension if you are in survival mode so i will not be playing any of this music here in this video because the last time a new record was added which was pig step it took them a

Long time to resolve the copyright issues here on youtube so this new record known as other side if you would like to listen to it i’ve actually uploaded it to my second channel so if there’s any issues it will be only a problem over there and if you were

Paying attention to the track listing that i showed you a moment ago you’ll notice that track seven is other side so this one is a record but it’s also part of the soundtrack so there are only two places where you can obtain this new music disc in survival and one of them

Is the loot chest found in one of these simple dungeons you have a 1.6 chance of getting this disc which is the same as the enchanted golden apple however there are between one and three rolls of this in each chest so the actual chance is slightly higher and there are other loot

Chests in the stronghold like the crossing right here and also inside of the library but neither of these will contain the disc and there is one other way to obtain records that is to have a skeleton shoot and kill a creeper then it drops a music disc however the loot

Table for the music discs that it drops does not include the new one the other side so you can’t obtain it using this old method so anyway you can hear the new music disc and all the other songs over on spotify i’ll leave a link to it

Down below they also have plans to push it out to other platforms like apple music and youtube music as well so soon this will be available in more places now as for changes in this update as you can see here there’s not a lot of stuff

Listed at all now when it comes to world generation tweaks i think henrik is giving us an insight with his tweets into what exactly has changed here you can see here the pillar formations of terracotta that are inside the badlands have been given some love they look much

Better in this picture on the right and i might be mistaken here i had to teleport to the eroded badlands to find these formations of terracotta which look much better than what we saw a moment ago and also here inside of the badlands there is a note saying that

Gold will now generate higher up and of the caves that i’ve found that does appear to be true and here is another example of some crazy caves generating below the badlands area and again you’ll see that there is gold generating quite high up in the world here so in this

Game we have what are known as water and lava springs these are blocks of water that generate in the side of terrain so they’ll flow out and create natural water features now our water springs are not going to generate higher than 192 which is where the cloud layer currently

Is and overall they’re also going to be slightly less common and as for the lava springs they’re not going to generate in snowy terrain or mountainous terrain of which this is both so you won’t find lava gushing out the side of a mountain in terrain like this and there was also

A note saying that they added a world auto save indicator for single player worlds yet i haven’t seen anything the entire time i’ve been recorded so i’ve got no idea what this looks like now when it comes to the technical changes there is just the one in this snapshot

Which i’m going to show you in the game so this is a new particle effect that displays a blocks texture you can see the light and the barrier here are good examples of this in fact i even think this might be now tied into how

This works so anyway if we go ahead and activate the command block you’ll see the frosted ice texture is displayed here and it’s aged which means not only can you display the texture but you can also display a block state for it as well so

Over here i’ve got like the texture of a redstone lamp this looks very very odd by the way and then we can set the block state to be lit and then it causes to show the other texture and last of all when it comes to the bugs most of these

Were just related to the fact that you could occasionally spawn underground for a variety of reasons so now when you spawn into a world either fresh or after being killed you shouldn’t be underground you should be on top of the terrain and that my friends is everything for this snapshot and if

You’re in the dark on 1.19 you didn’t catch that video that i put out earlier in the week while it’ll be linked on the screen and so will the new record disc that’s over on my second channel so be sure to go and check one of those out

That’s it for me thanks for watching and i’ll see you later bye
