Minecraft's first game decline in 2025 brings animal variants and new plants
Blog Andrew Joseph 22 Mar , 2025 0

Since September 2023, Minecraft has moved its main update strategy to two “Game Drops” of “Game Drops” that add new mobs, blocks and items to the game. With the latest Minecraft Live event, we now know the first match of 2025, Spring in to Life includes. Get ready for a bunch of animal variants and add some really cool new plants.
Starting with the plants, players have been getting something for a long time. Firefly bushes were added to the game after being first ridiculed a few years ago. The bushes will grow in the biomes of the swamp and near water, providing a flashing light of fireflies that add a little brightness to the night. Additionally, for every Mojang you will be able to place the bushes (i.e., plant blocks) under other blocks to make your build shine.
Other plant-based additions:
- leaf
- Falling leaves
- hay
- Cactus flower
- bush
When it comes to the best part of Minecraft, all the animal friends you make along the way will become bigger. Pigs, cattle and chickens all get two new variants: hot and cold. New will be found in cold and warm biomes respectively. Meaning, you can find a warm cow in the desert, and the Snow Plains biome will be the cold version of the home. So if you try to sort each animal that is roaming in Minecraft with some kind of large zoo, you can give you some work.
Other updates to the first game drop include:
- Sheep laying eggs: Brown sheep in sandy biome spawning eggs, cold black sheets
- Variation of Wolf Voice: There are now seven wolf “personalities” characterized by their voices, ranging from “cute to grumpy temper”
- The sound of the environment desert
- New Lodestone recipes: They now require iron digging, not intra-no
- Cartographers sell maps to biomes and villages
- Hovering traders sell goods for less price, they will buy and sell more
- Redesigned creative spawning eggs to look like the thugs they spawn
The first game decline in 2025 will be available on March 25. The game Drop 2 has also been revealed during Minecraft Live.
