JAVA EDITION: SNAPSHOT 20W15A
<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/java-edition-snapshot-20w15a.png" width="920" height="257" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/java-edition-snapshot-20w15a.png" alt width="920" height="257"></p>
<p>This snapshot brings us another new Biome to the Nether. Stepping out of my Nether Portal I was greeted by the new music and eerie atmosphere that is the new Basalt Deltas. The Biome looks amazing and new blocks are always welcomed when it comes to building later projects. What do you plan to do first when you load up this snapshot?</p>
<ul>
<li>Accessibility improvements</li>
<li>Added a Piglin banner pattern</li>
<li>Added Basalt Deltas biome to the Nether</li>
<li>Added soul campfires. Warm your buns with the heat of one thousand souls!</li>
<li>Added three new tracks of Nether music</li>
<li>Added chiseled nether bricks, cracked nether bricks, and quartz bricks!</li>
<li>Added a new set of stone blocks called Blackstone with regular, polished, and polished brick variants!</li>
<li>Added Gilded Blackstone – Blackstone which has been imbued with gold and has a chance of dropping gold nuggets when broken</li>
<li>Blackstone can be used to craft furnaces and stone tools</li>
</ul>

<h2>ACCESSIBILITY</h2>
<ul>
<li>Added “Line Spacing” chat and accessibility option</li>
<li>Added “Chat Delay” accessibility option</li>
</ul>
<h2>BASALT DELTAS</h2>
<p>Basalt Deltas can now be found in the Nether!</p>
<ul>
<li>Remnants of volcanic eruptions, this biome sports a high concentration of basalt columns and lava deltas</li>
<li>Walking through, you will be surrounded by flakes of flowing white ash</li>
<li>Magma Cubes finally have a place to call home, spawning very frequently</li>
<li>A new block, Blackstone, can be found in large patches here</li>
</ul>

<h2>NETHER MUSIC</h2>
<p>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. </p>
<ul>
<li><i>Rubedo</i> will be played in the Nether Wastes</li>
<li><i>Chrysopoeia </i>will be played in Crimson Forests </li>
<li><i>So Below </i>will be played in Soulsand Valleys and in Basalt Deltas</li>
</ul>
<p>Two lines from Lena about the music. More to come in a separate blog post.</p>
<ul>
<li>“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.”</li>
<li>“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.”</li>
</ul>
<p>Take a portal to the Nether, and stay awhile and listen…</p>
<ul>
<li>Dispenser changes</li>
<li>Soul sand can now be used to craft soul torches</li>
<li>Nether vegetation blocks (sprouts, roots, vines, fungus, wart and wart blocks) are now compostable</li>
<li>Walls will now connect to more things! (like iron bars, panes and even pickles!)</li>
<li>Hoes are now the appropriate tool for breaking leaves</li>
<li>Mobs avoid walking on magma blocks and lit campfires</li>
</ul>
<h2>DISPENSER CHANGES</h2>

<li>Dispensers can now put chests on llamas, donkeys and mules</li>
<li>Dispensers can now shear a Mooshroom</li>
<li>Dispensers can shear snow golems</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Tab completion for resource location will match any part after a <span class="bedrock-server">_</span></li>
<li>Mob and pathfinding-related optimizations</li>
