Minecraft Snapshot 25W20A Makes Saddles Craftable
One of the most significant changes requested by the community members of Minecraft is the crafting recipe for the saddles. Now, players can craft saddles using 3 Leather and 1 Iron Ingot. This recipe will be unlocked when you get leather in a new world. Furthermore, new features are being introduced to remove the saddles, harnesses, horse armor, and carpets. There are three primary rules for that, which are as follows:
- The items can be removed using shears during normal position and while crouching.
- They can’t be removed while a rider is present on the mob.
- Dispensers equipped with shears can’t remove them, and Ravagers aren’t affected by this new rule.
Apart from these, Saddles have been removed from loot chests appearing all across the world, like in:
- Monster Rooms
- Ancient Cities
- Desert Pyramid
- Jungle Pyramid
- Stronghold Altars
New Music Tracks, UI Improvements, and More
Minecraft Snapshot 25W20A introduces six new ambient tracks by Amos Roddy featured in various biomes like cherry groves, forests, and deserts. So here are the tracks introduced:
- Below and Above
- Broken Clocks
- Fireflies
- Lilypad
- O’s Piano
- Tears
Among all of the above, you will be able to unlock the Tears music disc the moment you defeat a Ghast by deflecting its fireball. Furthermore, a Music Toast option lets you see what music is being played on the main menu. Other notable changes include improved main menu panorama, better fog visuals during rain and storms, decorative entities immune to underwater TNT blasts, and water-resistant dried Ghasts.
And that concludes the list of all the changes brought about in the Minecraft Snapshot 25W20A. Have you tested all of these features yet? Let us know in the comments below!
