Minecraft Snapshot Adds Jukebox Playlists And Brittle Ice
Mojang is testing two different kinds of change at once in this snapshot: a container-based playback system for music and a breakable block that adds risk to exploring the Ice Cave biome, both of which affect how players move through existing builds and terrain.

The latest Minecraft snapshot, 26.4 Snapshot 4, reworks the Jukebox so players can build playlists by placing a chest on top of it. Records inside play in slot order, and when one finishes it returns to the chest and the next record plays. The snapshot also adds Brittle Ice, which cracks and collapses under a player or mob and generates in the Ice Cave biome. It is available in Java and Bedrock beta and preview versions.
A chest can now sit on top of a Jukebox and act as a record queue. A Chest, Trapped Chest, or Copper Chest works, and the records inside play in the order they occupy the slots. Empty slots and non-record items are skipped.
The snapshot also adds Brittle Ice, a block that generates naturally in the Ice Cave biome, cracks when a player or mob stands on it, and collapses. It can be picked up with Silk Touch, or made by running water into Blue Ice. Both features are live in the Bedrock beta and preview builds and the Java version.
