Less revealing snapshots

I think there could be a much more dramatic reveal to releases if the snapshots were either limited to approved testers or snapshots didn't reveal the new blocks and items in their entirety. This would create more 'hype' for a release, potentially bringing a larger audience to the game. ( Or back to the game )

    The issue is that the snapshots need to be complete because they're testing added features and other changes.  Having them broad makes it easier to catch problems too, so it's in nobody's interest to keep them limited.  Even if they were limited, it would still be public information.  You can bet that the YouTubers who currently put out snapshot videos would make sure that they are in the testing group and still make those videos.

    Anyone who wants the next update to be a surprise can decide to not read or watch the information about the new snapshots.
