Next Minecraft release date
The next Minecraft update will be released onTuesday, March 25, 2025.
The 1.21.5 update sees new mob variants, new audio features, and interesting plant additions.
The three variants, Temperate, Cold, and Warm, have different colors and different biome specifications.
The Temperate versions will spawn by default where Cold and Warm do not spawn.
The Cold variants will spawn in, well, anywhere that’s cold.
That includes the Taiga, Windswept Hills, Snowy Plains, and even the Deep Dark and The End.
They’re not the only mobs getting attention, as the Wolf gets six new sounds.
Bushes will generate in the Plains, Windswept Hills, River and Frozen River, and all Forest biomes.
Using bone meal on a bush generates a neighboring bush if there is space.
Harvesting bushes can be done using any tool with Silk Touch, or the shears.
The Cactus Flower is a new jot down of flower that has a chance of generating cacti.
It can be placed on cactus blocks, or any block which has center support at the top.
Any tool can mine it, and it can also be used to craft pink dye.
When it’s dark, you’ll spot glowing firefly particles up to five blocks from a Firefly Bush.
Using bone meal on a Firefly bush will generate a neighboring one as long as there is space.
It also emits a light level of 2, but will be instantly broken without any particular tool.
Leaf Litter is another block being added to Minecraft to improve the immersive nature of the game.
It’s a decorative block that can be found in forests and wooded badlands biomes.
It also comes with unique block sounds–we can’t wait to trample through the leaves in Fall.
Short Dry Grass is one block high and generates in the desert and badlands biomes.
Tall Dry Grass is also one block high, but aesthetically taller.
It can be placed on sand, terracotta, and dirt blocks similarly to the dead bush.
Using bone meal on Short Dry Grass turns it into Tall Dry Grass.
Sheep can eat it to regrow their wool, too.
you might have up to four Wildflowers per one block, similar to other petals and flowers decorations.
They can be crafted into yellow dye.
The Brown Egg is the warm chicken’s alternative.
World generation
Also being added to the game in 1.21.5 are fallen trees.
These change the way that trees can appear throughout the game.
Now, you may find Oak, Spruce, Birch, or Jungle trees horizontally across the ground.
Fallen trees can even be decorated with mushrooms or vines.
That’s everything coming to Minecraft in the next update.
