Welcome to the Spon Chunks episode number 376 recorded for Monday, November 17th, 2025.

This is a podcast all about Minecraft, and it is available on all of your favorite podcasting

platforms, including video versions on Spotify and on YouTube. If you're enjoying the show,

So once again, patreon.com slash the spawn chunks if you want to support the show and join our community.

Coming up this week on the episode, we have a Java update, we have a bedrock update,

and we have emails about gameplay drops and more in our chunk mail dispenser episode. We've got

four emails to get to this week. Yes. Yeah,
