Developers Continue to Improve the Nether!
Developers have released another snapshot for Minecraft: Java Edition numbered 20w15a, which brings a lot of new content for the upcoming Nether update!
Developers have added new types of stone blocks made of "blackstone", including buttons and slabs!
In addition, soul campfires, chiseled nether bricks, cracked nether bricks, and quartz bricks have appeared.

The new biome "Basalt Deltas", shrouded in white ash particles, is the remains of volcanic eruptions and you can find a new block there — blackstone.
In this biome you can find basalt, blackstone, and gilded blackstone, which drops gold nuggets.

Magma cubes spawn in these biomes, be careful!
A new banner pattern "Piglin" has also appeared.

New exclusive music for Nether biomes has also appeared:
- Rubedo will play in Crimson Forests
- Chrysopoeia will play in Warped Forests
- So Below will play in Soul Sand Valley and Basalt Deltas
Dispenser changes:
- Dispensers can now saddle pigs and horses
- Dispensers can now equip horse armor on horses
- Dispensers can now put carpets on llamas
- Dispensers can now place chests on llamas, donkeys, and mules
- Dispensers can now shear mushrooms off mooshrooms
- Dispensers can now carve pumpkins off snow golems' heads
In addition, various bugs have been fixed, but remember that the update is not final and other changes may appear.
All these innovations and changes should also be included in Minecraft Bedrock when the developers are ready to release the new version.
