Minecraft Gets Spring to Life Update in March, Vibrant Visuals in the Future

Minecraft is getting more lively and more vibrant with its upcoming updates that were announced in Minecraft Live 2025. The first update is called Spring to Life and will add variations to animals depending on where they are located.

Pigs, cows, and chickens will now have a cold and warm version. Warm variants are found in desert areas and cold variants in snowy mountains.

In addition to this, Firefly bushes are also going to be added to the game. Firefly bushes can be found in swamp biomes and provide illumination to the surrounding areas. Players will also be able to place these bushes underneath blocks for their own builds.

There are also new plants to be added:

• Leaf litter
• Falling leaves
• Dry grass
• Cactus flowers
• Bushes

As well as a few more things which includes:

• Sheep spawning: Brown sheep spawn in sandy biomes, black sheet in chilly ones
• Wolf variant sounds: There are now seven wolf “personalities,” characterized by the sounds they make, from “cute to grumpy”
• Ambient desert sounds
• New lodestone recipe: They require iron ingots now, rather than Netherite
• Cartographers sell maps to biomes and villages
• Wandering traders sell good for less and have more they will buy and sell
• Spawn eggs in creative move have been redesigned to look like the mob they spawn

Vibrant Visuals update is also coming to Minecraft. This update will make Minecraft with modded shaders on. However, this update will not be exclusive to graphics cards that support ray tracing. It will also reach consoles like the Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and even mobile devices.

The developers also teased a flying Happy Ghast that players can ride. According to them, it’s going to be “a bit like being in Creative Mode, but in Survival,” referring to how players can ride the Happy Ghast and float around.

Lastly, Mojang will also add a live event featuring Minecraft’s collaboration with the live-action movie set to release on April 4. Players who will participate in the event will be transported to a custom Minecraft Realm and interact with characters from the live-action to play minigames. Completing all five minigames will reward players with the Yearn Cape. The collaboration will start on March 25 and end on April 7.

The Spring to Life update which contains the new animal variations and plants will drop on March 25. The Happy Ghast and Vibrant Visuals update will be coming in the future.
