Test more features from the upcoming game drop! Let the temperature drop indoors as well as outdoors by building a blue base out of packed ice bricks! Turn packed ice blocks into a full set, including packed ice bricks, slabs, stairs, walls, and chiselled blocks. While you're collecting all the ice you need for your shivering shelter, enjoy the ambience from across frozen rivers and oceans. Ice blocks over water and surrounded by more ice emit eerie singing sounds, sending a haunting echo through the ice caves.
And as always, we're keen to get your feedback on these new features at feedback.minecraft.net, and you can report any bugs you find at bugs.mojang.com.

- runset now allows for a withoutTags flag to be added which ignores any tests with the specified tags. Ex. the command, /gametest runset SetA withoutTags SetB, will run all tests from SetA that do not also have the tag SetB.
- Adjusted the parameter rotationSteps in runset to be explicit rather than implicit. Ex. Previously, a command such as /gametest runset SetA 2 would read the rotationSteps, 2, after the specified tag, SetA. Now the rotationSteps flag must be declared before its value as such, /gametest runset SetA rotationSteps 2
