Mojang has rolled out new changes for Minecraft Java players. Bedrock users should see these changes soon. This update brings seven key features to the game, with some surprises for fans.
One of the highlights is cow variants. Mojang teased this feature on social media. Now, cows behave like the pig variants. In warm biomes, warm cows replace regular cows. The same happens with cold cows in colder areas. Players can still milk and kill these cows for the usual drops. Breeding them creates a baby variant, adding more visual diversity to the game.
The Firefly Bush is another exciting addition. These bushes glow at night, releasing fireflies. Players have long awaited this feature. Mojang has finally brought fireflies to life, though they are not interactive. Players can use bone meal to grow more bushes, enhancing their world with a new atmosphere.
The changes to beacons stand out as a game-changer. Now, players can see beacons from 16 chunks away. This update makes beacons more visible and useful. Players can spot the beacon's light even if they can't see the beacon block itself.
Players should note the tweak to leather boots and powdered snow. Leather boots will no longer save players if they fall from more than two-and-a-half blocks onto powdered snow. This adds a new challenge for players navigating snowy biomes.
Desert sounds are another subtle but immersive change. New sounds play in the desert, adding to the ambiance. While not immediately noticeable, these sounds aim to make the game world feel more alive.
Some players may feel that the update focuses too much on visuals. While new cow textures and ambient changes may appeal to some, others might have expected more functional features. Still, the beacon change is a significant improvement that many players will appreciate.
This update is part of a larger plan for future changes in Minecraft. As Mojang explores new features, players can look forward to further enhancements. Whether it's visual updates or functional improvements, there is something for everyone in Minecraft's evolving world.
Minecraft's latest update shows Mojang's focus on refining visual and ambient elements. While it might not cater to everyone, it offers new experiences and challenges. Fans of visual diversity and long-time survival players have much to explore and enjoy with these changes.
