Spring is coming to Minecraft-with Mojang’s Spring to Life update landing on March 25, players will meet fresh mob variants, richer ambient details, and new seasonal touches that make every biome feel alive again.
Spring to Life Releases in March 2025
Spring to Life brings a March 25 release with all-new mob variants and ambient features that enrich exploration, expand combat possibilities, and refresh the world with seasonal visuals and dynamic environments.
Minecraft’s next Spring to Life update will be released on March 25, 2025. As we all know, Mojang has changed its approach to dropping new updates over the years. For the past year, we have been receiving small but frequent major drops that bring a plethora of new changes into the game. However, one disappointing news we received was the abolition of the Mob Votes.
The updates were categorized into Snapshots, Previews or Pre-Releases (as per Java or Bedrock edition), Release Candidates, and the major game drop.
In the first Minecraft Live event of 2025, we got a groundbreaking announcement where Mojang will be introducing new Vibrant Visuals on the Bedrock version. Moreover, the new variants of Ghasts will be arriving in the second game drop of 2025. With that said, here are all the new features you can expect in the next major drop, as we have seen in all the previous snapshots:
New Mob Variants
The next major drop of Minecraft Spring to Life will include all new variants of Chickens, Cows, and Pigs and new wool color rules for Sheep. The original ones will be renamed Temperate ones, while the other two are categorized as Warm and Cold variants found in their respective climatic zones.
Explore the Savanah and Jungles biomes to find the Warmer mobs, whereas move to the Taiga forests or Windswept areas to find the colder ones.
New Flowers
From the past Snapshots, we saw a couple of new additions to the flora features of the game. The Wildflowers and the Cactus flowers are the new ones in the next game drop. While the Wildflowers appear similar to the Cherry petals and spawn on the surface, the Cactus flowers are native to only Desert biomes and lay atop the Cactus plants.
Another flora addition is the brand new Firefly bushes, which emit light particles during the night. You will find these bushes on the banks of rivers and mostly in swamps.
Ambient Features
Finally, the game has a few ambient features that help make the surroundings feel more lively. As you walk around the Desert biomes, you will hear ambient Desert noises like the flowing of dry winds and the whistling of sand dunes.
Next, we have the animation of falling leaves that you will notice under the trees. Although the textures for the leaves of every tree might look the same, the different colors are key to noticing their differences. Lastly, there are leaf litter that you are going to find under the trees of forests and dark forests.
What new mob variants appear in each biome
Warm Biomes spawn warm variants of cows, pigs, and chickens, which feature distinct textures adapted to hotter environments. These include desert, savanna, mangrove swamp, jungle, and badlands (plus variations). All three warm mob types-warm cow, warm pig, and warm chicken-can appear interchangeably in any of these biomes.
Cold Biomes generate cold variants of the same mobs: cold cows, cold pigs, and cold chickens, with visuals suited to snowy or icy areas. Relevant biomes are taiga, snowy taiga, old growth taiga, ice spikes, and mountains (including variants). Like warm variants, all cold types spawn across these biomes.
Temperate Biomes (such as plains and forests) host the standard, original textures for cows, pigs, and chickens, now explicitly called temperate variants. Sheep colors also adjust dynamically by biome temperature, enhancing variety without new models.
List warm mob variants and where they spawn
Warm mob variants in Minecraft’s Spring to Life update include warm cows, warm pigs, and warm chickens, which feature reddish-brown textures suited to hotter biomes. These spawn naturally on grass blocks in the following locations:

Windswept Savanna
