In this update, the developers are trying to involve mobs and biomes, which you are already familiar with, to elaborate and improve these locations in the game world.
Cows. The game will offer 2 new looks for cows; from now on, their colors will directly depend on the biome they are in.

Hens. The developers have also added a few colors to all the hens in the game, with their textures depending on the biomes. The snowy ones will be in the corresponding locations, the tropical ones in jungle, wastelands, and savannah. Each of the species has its specific egg type; the player can use them both for crafting and for summoning chickens, with their texture no longer being depend on the biome they were hatched in.
Pigs. At last, the game has got more options for pigs, whose look can also vary depending on the biomes. Everything is just the same with pigs – there are snowy and tropical versions.
Wolves. These animals will get 6 additional sound options, for example, angry, sad, and so on. It’s nice to hear different kinds of sounds from wolves, especially at night. Well, new textures for wolves are available in the game as well.
New Blocks
A new type of vegetation will appear in the game – bushes. They can be generated in plains, hills, near rivers, and in forests. The player can collect them with scissors or a tool enchanted with the «Silk touch» effect. The bush is also used for composting.
Bushes with fireflies. Another vegetation type, which is mainly generated in swamps and near rivers. At night, they emit particles of fireflies, at the same time making certain sounds during this period. You can throw bushes into a composter, using bone meal for rapid growth.
Low and high dry grass. Several types of dry grass have appeared in Minecraft, which is generated mainly in deserts and wastelands. This is a kind of update prepared for these biomes to breathe life and somehow diversify these locations. They are 1 block high and can be used in a composter. Sheep also eat these kinds of vegetation.
Dry leaves. There is another major update in the game that will significantly change the atmosphere in the biomes, especially in the forest ones. From now on, the players will see dry leaves under their feet, which you can make both naturally and by burning the foliage in an oven. Moreover, you can use them as fuel in the future.
Field flowers. You will find new types of flowers in the game world, mainly in meadows and birch forests. One block may contain up to four flowers. They look very beautiful and unusual. You can use them to craft a yellow dye.
