It's time for yet another exciting Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta and Preview update! This week you will discover the artistic delights of 15 new paintings that have been added to the game, created by artist Kristoffer Zetterstrand. In addition, there are three new music discs and nine new background music tracks being added to the game! I'm going to waste no time in building a new art gallery wing to display these fantastic additions, and the new music tracks will set the atmosphere perfectly. As always, we want to hear your thoughts about how the Tricky Trials update is shaping up at feedback.minecraft.net , and please report any bugs you find to bugs.mojang.com!
