New ambient music in Minecraft Trails & Tales update

One of the most note-worthy features of this upcoming major update is the addition of the new Cherry Groves Overworld biome. This beautiful new location has cherry trees, something all players have craved forever.

While exploring this new biome, players will hear a few new ambient songs in the background. Not only the cherry groves but the badlands, desert, jungle, and flower forest biomes also have four new music tracks.

A Familiar Room, Bromeliad, Crescent Dunes, and Echo in the Wind are the four new tracks in the update, and they are all composed by Aaron Cherof. Minecraft snapshot 23w17a and the ones that were released after already include these new music tracks.

This isn't all for the musical side of things, as the update also features a new music disc titled "Relic." It is also composed by Aaron Cherof, and to obtain it, players will need to learn about the new archeology feature. This is because the Relic music disc is only obtainable through suspicious blocks found in the new trail ruins.
