Minecraft 26.4 Snapshot 7
Like every October, the map makers have treated us to a range of wonderful and scary maps. They are not always for the faint of heart, and you’ll need to decide who you can trust and who is out to get you. You never know what might be lurking in the dark… 
Meet Rob A Mob, a competitive PvP multiplayer adventure for Minecraft Bedrock where collecting mobs is only half the fun. Hunt down increasingly rare mobs, discover valuable mutations, and display your Mob Collection at your home base to generate money, complete quests, and unlock achievements. But don’t get too attached: once PvP kicks in, rival players can raid your base and steal your prized mobs, and you can return the favor. Build your collection, protect your rarest finds, and embrace the chaos in Rob A Mob, available from the Minecraft server tab.
Craving the sounds of autumn in Minecraft? Try the free fall-themed sound effect pack Wilderness Bound: Haunts & Harvests by Mush Co., a cozy-meets-spooky audio pack inspired by the Wilderness Bound drop and its rustic dappled forest biome. Expect wind that rustles the fall leaves louder, a little unnerving creak from doors and chests, snapping twigs, cooing owls, the odd croaking toad, and night mobs with extra cackling and gloriously zombie-like zombies. Sound effect packs were announced at Minecraft Live and let you customize how your world sounds, from retro arcade fun to realistic horror ambience. They launch fully on the Minecraft Marketplace on November 10th, but you can claim this one for free today. And who says it's only for fall? No one will judge you for keeping it on all year.
