Minecraft 1.20 Snapshot 23W17A – Relic Music Disc, Soundtrack & Glyphs!

This is Snapshot 23w17a and it’s a familiar part of the development cycle although we are off by one week it was this time last year that we got our hands on a new record disc and a soundtrack for The 1.19 update so I suspect that there will be a few more

Snapshots and then we’ll go into the pre-release phase but like that snapshot that I mentioned in this update we do have a new music disc and there is a soundtrack for the game too if you want to hear this new record disc in full I’ve uploaded it to my second Channel

Just in case there’s any copyright issues with the audio and the soundtrack which you can listen to on Spotify will also be linked down below now before we slap this new record into the Jukebox we are going to check out the signal strengths because pigstep has 13. other

Side has a signal strength of 14 and 5 has a signal strength of 15. so what does this new one have it is also a signal strength of 14. now if you want to use Redstone to sort out your record collection obviously having two of them the same signal strength causes some

Issues and there’s no comment on moyang from this so I don’t know if they’ve got an intended solution for at some point in the future but for now those two records other side and this new one are sharing the same signal strength and the name of this new record is Relic

Composed by Aaron cheroff and I have listened to it and the rest of the soundtrack about four or five times already and I absolutely love it now you may be wondering where can you get this new record disc from and the answer is archeology you’re going to need a brush

You’re gonna need to find one of the trail runes and get through some suspicious gravel and if you watch the previous Snapshot video you’ll know that suspicious gravel has had its loot split into common and into rare and what’s been added is the record to the rare

Loot in the trail runes now in the last snapshot we learned there have been some adjustments to the structures of these Trail runes on this side the left is where you’re seeing the new structures the these also include some custom Tower tops that separate the final little bits

Of detail at the entrance to the tower that’s the beginning structure so my plan was to continue with this slightly awkward side-by-side comparison but as you will see a heck of a lot of new stuff has been added here and when it comes to significant changes it was

Mostly what I showed you first of all that stands out however there is significantly less glazed terracotta in these new structures from last week’s snapshot the thing that we really want to know though is where is the suspicious gravel generated where can we get our hands on that rare loot and my

Initial idea was to replace all of the gravel with barrier blocks so we could see the leftover suspicious gravel but the problem was there was none in any of these structures so with some help from my buddy misode we were able to dive into the game’s code and there are three

Different structure types that can generate suspicious gravel and it turns out that these break down into two categories you have one where where there is a maximum cap of two common loot tables in the suspicious gravel and another type where there can be up to six common and three rare and a simple

Way to explain this is that the road sections you see behind me have a cap of two common Loops as do the new tower top sections that were added in last week’s snapshot and absolutely every other structure type can generate with up to three rare and six common suspicious

Gravel now it took me a long time to figure this out and I didn’t really learn anything because basically the rare loot generates all over the structure so hopefully by next week I’ll have figured out the average amount of rare loot that you can get from one of

These structures and that might just be a great reason to subscribe if you haven’t done so already but now let’s get back to this week’s snapshot and talk about the new soundtrack for The Trails and tales update all of this was composed by Aaron sheroff and there are

Five new tracks totaling about 18 minutes of Music Relic is of course the new music disc and these other four tracks are actually going to to play inside of your Minecraft world these songs can play at random in the Cherry Groves biome the desert biome the jungle

Biome the Badlands biome and last of all in flower forest biomes now with a new update comes new advancements you can get one for getting your hands on a sniffer egg which you would more commonly do through archeology and just as a reminder you find these in the

Suspicious sand at the warm ocean ruins of course you can also get them through breeding sniffers but you have to get the torch flower seeds first and if you feed these two a baby sniffer you get an advancement you also get one for planting the torch flower seed and each

Of these is dependent on the one that came before it this next one might take me a fair amount of time oh wait is that a shirt are we gonna get it straight away excellent excellent respecting the remnants once you’ve done that you can use four of these to craft a decorated

Pot they have to be shirts though and then you’ll get this advancement careful restoration so the first time you make your very own armor trim you’ll get Crafting a new look and I am not actually sure if I understand how this next one works so let’s go ahead and

Craft that aha okay I think I understand so there are 16 different armor trims and you only need eight of these which is Spire snouts of rib Ward silent tide and wayfinder so you need to use all eight to get this advancement smithing with style so it’s in the adventure tab

That these two appear along with these two and the last three that we saw were in the husbandry Tab and that’s all of the new advancement stuff and now we move on to something that might be a big deal depends on your opinion about it really what you saw were the Unicode

Files from inside the game being removed this has now been replaced with something else and here on the website there is a strong hint as to what this new feature does and they are referred to here as glyphs but as I understand it Unicode has been replaced with unifont

This this was the feature that allowed you to rename some of your items with some really cool symbols look at those right there and as I understand it this uniform system will provide you with way more options like look at all of these musical notation notes here and it’s not

Just items you can do this on signs as well there is a lot of new symbols and characters that you can bring into the game with this essentially anywhere with text will support this system what I did was install unifont onto my system and then with the character map you can

Access all of the different characters and there is a heck of a lot of them and all of these will now be supported inside of Minecraft now I don’t know what this means for those of you that have already been using the Legacy Unicode for your items it could possibly

Break them but you might have to go in rename them again and you’ll have way more of these characters to pick from now now next up we have some changes to the skulk sensors phases and it feels like moying are trying to really clearly commute communicate what the changes is

Here and I’ve Got a Feeling these might be the final adjustments to the sculpt sensor so the inactive phase is what we’re currently seeing where they’re essentially sitting around and waiting to receive a vibration when it receives a vibration that’s when we go into the active phase for the calibrated sculpt

Sense of this last 10 game ticks which is half a second and for the skulk sensor on the left it’s 30 which is one and a half seconds now after being active it goes into the cooldown phase which lasts for 10 game ticks which is

Half a second the way to see this is to look at the lamp and the wiggling tendril you’ll see that it continues to wiggle and be illuminated yet the lamp isn’t being powered so this is a period of time where the skulk sensor is still active but it’s no longer emitting a

Redstone signal previously these face timings were different as listed here on the website and they also say that these face timings were tweaked so that it is less common for active Contraptions to recursively activate the skulk sensor that powered them in other words words it’s harder to make a contraption that

Accidentally activates itself over and over again and now to the main menu there’s something that I missed from last week’s snapshot here where the yellow text is it’s now been moved over to the right so that it doesn’t collide with the Java Edition logo and there are

Five new splashes added this sand is sus remember to brush your teeth has working bookshelves sniff sniff and place hanging sign here and that brings the total to 445. have you seen them all I’ve booted this game up so many times I probably actually have and now for the bugs in

This week’s snapshot a fair few of them seem to be related to the lighting engine in the game this tweet from Gene beans came out today and it does suggest that there’s been some work to the lighting engine and it also comes with a tip as well this works in both this

Snapshot and 1.19.4 you can select a world click edit and go to optimize world and this will reload all of the chunks apologies it will redo all of the lighting in those chunks and if you do that on an old world hopefully you’ll see some performance gains but I really

Don’t know as for the other bugs it seems that there are some misspellings in the credits as well as some moyang employees that haven’t been credited so they have been added and apparently sniffers that are on fire wouldn’t be able to pass into water look at that

Straight to the water that’s uh that’s a good Improvement for them so if you made it to this part of the video be sure to leave a like and if you want to hear the new music disc go over to my second Channel it’ll be linked in the

Description box down below you can hear the record in full that’s it from me thanks for watching and I’ll see you soon with another one bye-bye
