Minecraft updates are often equal parts fun and necessary, and the latest Minecraft: Java Edition snapshot is a quintessential example of this. Mojang Studios is now releasing Snapshot 22w46a to interested players on PC, with a new feature from the next major content update, and some significant changes, included in the release.
The most interesting addition in the newest snapshot, following the Vex redesign of the previous snapshot is a brand-new feature for the Minecraft 1.20 update which is expected to arrive at some point in 2023. Mob heads, a lesser-known decorative block that has existed in Minecraft for ages, are finally getting some much-needed functionality!
Players will be able to place mob heads on top of note blocks, and then interact with or power the note block to play a random passive noise for that mob. Finally, players can make sweet music entirely out of creeper and zombie sounds. The Piglin is also joining the band, as the Piglin head joins the intimate collection of mob heads with this snapshot.
