The latest Minecraft update brings exciting changes for Java players, with Bedrock players getting them soon. There are seven new features to explore, and they're all about enhancing the gameplay experience. But the spotlight shines brightest on the beacons. Beacons will add a new layer of excitement to the game, even though fireflies get more attention.
Mojang teased the new cow variants on Instagram and Twitter. Now, players can find these in different biomes, just like pig variants. In warm biomes, warm cows appear where warm pigs do. Cold biomes feature cold cows alongside cold pigs. The cold animals get a bit of wool, while the warm ones have less. This balance adds variety without altering gameplay mechanics.
Players will notice that milking these cows yields regular milk. The same applies when you kill them, with regular drops. Breeding them creates a new baby variant, which follows the parent's biome characteristics. This subtle change keeps the game fresh without overcomplicating things.
The update also includes changes to other features, although fireflies are getting the headlines. Beacons, however, are the real game-changer. They bring a new level of strategy and excitement, making them a focal point for many players. This update demonstrates Mojang's commitment to keeping Minecraft engaging and fun. Players can look forward to these changes and explore how each new feature enhances their experience.
