Minecraft is starting the year well with a new update for consoles and PC. Here you will find all the new features available after installing the patch.
Could Minecraft 2 ever be released? If creator Markus “Notch” Persson comes to an agreement with Microsoft, that is a possibility. If necessary, the developer should ultimately offer fans a spiritual sequel alongside its new game that mixes roguelike and dungeon crawler. Even if a person decides to put these two ideas into practice, he should not expect it for some time. Wait, the game's first update of the year, which made it extremely large, has dropped. Here are the changes.
The first Minecraft update of 2025 is available
It's a great start for Minecraft, as the first update in 2025 means players have several new features to test out. What's new in Mojang's Sandbox? The pigs regain their strength and evolve with two new variants. Coming from snowy biomes, you may encounter the cold pig and its thick fur that allows it to cope with negative temperatures. In desert areas, where the climate is better, you can find the warm pig with its rusty brown fur.
The new features of Minecraft's first 2025 patch also further develop forest environments with the aim of making them more alive. For a cozier atmosphere and a more pleasant tone, the game adds falling leaves (in all forest biomes), dead leaves (for the forest floor with a slight rustle when crossing) and wild flowers (white and yellow in meadows, birch forests, etc. in old birch forests).
From now on, the lodestone block in Minecraft is obtained using an iron ingot and chiseled bricks instead of the netherite ingot. « You can test these features by enabling Snapshots for Minecraft: Java Edition or Previews/Betas for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. To install a snapshot, open the Minecraft launcher and enable Snapshots in the Installations tab. Follow these instructions to activate the preview/beta for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. The preview is available for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Realms on Xbox, Windows 10/11 and iOS. Beta versions are available on Android (Google Play). » indicates the official website.
