IN A NUTSHELL:

- Players have already started to create imaginative works with the new material;
- The update also changes a few other things and fixes some known bugs.
In the latest update for Minecraft, so-called Snapshot 20w48a, the developers introduced a new kind of rock, called Pointed Dripstone. Ingenious players have already found the first ways to use this material, creating structures and sculptures using its unique feature - the ability to build stalagmites and stalactites. They share their works on the Internet, e.g. on Reddit.
Snapshot 20w48a - other changes and novelties
Pointed Dripstone is not the only novelty in this version of Minecraft. The developers have also added a new game rule, which enables players to turn frost damage inflicted by snow on and off. We also got a couple of changes in the interface - the hint system has been improved and the ability to right-click on item pouches - e.g. twenty stones - enabling us to remove one item from it.
The patch also fixes some known bugs. There was a mistake, for example, that spoiled the animations during swimming and other actions and one that made lava and water transparent when we were at a certain height. The full list of changes and corrections in Snapshot 20w48a can be found here.
