Bedrock Preview 26.70.22 keeps the winter-drop thread going with a new Snow Bricks block set, a fresh way to make Frosted Ice, ambient ice-crystal sound, and a Wandering Trader who now deals in Ice Crystals. It also tidies Frostbite conversion behavior and gives Packed Ice Bricks a polish pass. Preview-profile reminder: this is test-world territory.
What’s new to try
- Snow Bricks set — mine them with a shovel
- Frosted Ice — now possible via a Cold Sulfur Cube absorbing Blue Ice
- Ice crystal ambient sound adds quiet atmosphere to cold spaces
- Wandering Trader can sell Ice Crystals
- Packed Ice Brick polish for cleaner builds
Fixes worth noticing
Frostbite conversion got attention in this build, with fixes to how mobs convert in cold conditions. If you’ve been testing zombie-to-Frostbite behavior in powder snow, rerun your trap and see if it feels steadier.
A short preview checklist
- Use a throwaway preview world and back up anything you care about
- Build a small Snow Bricks wall and compare it with Packed Ice Bricks
- Test the Cold Sulfur Cube and Blue Ice combo
- Listen for the new ice crystal ambience near cold builds
- Trade with a Wandering Trader to look for Ice Crystals
Preview 22 is less about big new monsters and more about the tiny details that make an ice build feel lived-in.
