50 Things Added in Minecraft 1.21.5 Update

Minecraft 1. 121. 5 is coming soon this spring so today we were shown the trailer for Minecraft live 2025 this will go live on March 22nd and should give us a release date for 1.

121. 5 and maybe a reveal for 1. 22 anyways in this new trailer you can see sneak peeks of some of the new 1.

121. 5 features such as the new Mobs the new blogs and the new fireflies with dancing skeletons so in this video I thought I would recap every new feature I've covered already for Minecraft's newest update Minecraft has added new chickens first up we have the cold chicken which looks like this this new variant of chicken can spawn in a variety of cold temperature biomes these include the tiger biomes the snowy tiger biomes and finally the wind swep biomes it's also worth noting that regular chickens can no longer spawn in these cold temperature biomes as this cold chicken will now take its place with its cool haircut not only do cold chickens have an awesome haircut they can also lay their own unique eggs these blue eggs are of course used to spawn cold chickens but you can also craft cakes with them just like the regular eggs the other chicken type that was added is the warm chicken now the warm chicken looks like this and can spawn in a variety of warm biomes such as the Savannah the jungle and the Badlands these guys will also lay brown eggs that look like like this which when thrown will of course have a chance to hatch a warm chicken the desert biome is receiving a glow up in 1. 121.

5 that's right in deserts you can now find the cactus flower which looks like this this is a new type of flower which has a chance of generating on cactuses in both deserts and bad land biomes what's interesting is if a cactus is one or two blocks high the cactus flower has a 10% chance to grow instead of the cactus is getting higher desert biome should also look a bit more lively in this update as you can now also find this new short dry grass that looks like this oh there's also a tall version of the dry grass as well now the next feature we're going to talk about are the long awaited fireflies so I'm sure most of you know fireflies were planned to be added as a mob back in the 1. 19 Wild update these fireflies were a two pixel mob and they were going to spawn in swamp by at night and could be eaten by frogs however the devs decided to scrap this version of the Firefly mob and we didn't really hear much about it up until 1. 121.

5 that's right Minecraft's newest update has readded the firly well sort of instead of getting the Firefly mob we have received the Firefly Bush that looks like this this Firefly Bush can be found in swamp biomes and when it becomes nighttime something really cool happens so when it's dark glowing Firefly particles will appear around the Firefly Bush emitting a light level of two and expanding up to five blocks the fireflies themselves are a single Pixel particle instead of the two pixel mob we had before now despite how cool I find this Firefly Bush I still think I prefer the original idea for the Firefly but let me know your thoughts in the comments Minecraft 1. 121. 5 has received a new look the bush these bushes can be found in the plains biome the wind swep biome the forest biome and finally the Birch forest biome just like the grass these bushes will change color depending on the biome they are placed in which means they'll make for quite a nice decorative block now I know it's just a bush but it does add more life to some of the biomes that were beginning to look a bit outdated Minecraft has added new cows since 2010 the only cow we've had is this guy but in 1.

121. 5 two new variants of the cow will be added to the game the First new cow variant is the cold cow which looks like this the cold cow will of course spawn in a variety of cold temperature biomes in your Minecraft world these biomes include any Tiger Biome or snowy tiger variation you can also find the cold cow in the Windswept Hills and Windswept forest biomes respectively the next new cow variant that was added was you guessed it the warm cow now the warm cow looks like this and can spawn in a variety of warm biomes such as the Savannah the jungle and the Badlands now not only did we get two new cows the original cow added back in Alpha 2010 has also received some changes so in 1. 121.

5 the original cow that was simply known as cow has been renamed to the temperate cow now this pre-existing cow variant will still SPO in every biome it could before except for the cold and warm biomes where the new cows will take its place the original cow has also received a texture change with the main change being that its nose will now extrude from its model whereas before it was completely flat another block that was added in the 1. 121. 5 update is the leaf litter block the leaf litter can be found scattered around in biomes such as the Forest Dark Forest and wooded B lands now the leaf litter block is meant to resemble Dead Leaves that have fallen from the trees which I think adds a bit more realism to the trees themselves oh and the leaf litter will also make a unique sound when you walk on them the leaf litter can be used as fuel in a furnace and since it will be found everywhere in the mentioned biomes you can collect a lot of them to have easy smelting during the first few days of your Minecraft world another way you can obtain Leaf litters is by smelting any Leaf Block in a furnace the more you know while we're on the topic of leaf blocks some cool changes have been made to the leaves themselves that generate on trees so we all know the cherry blossom trees in Cherry Grove biomes have beautiful particle effects falling beneath the leaves well in 1.

121. 5 tree leaves with Oak Spruce Birch Acacia jungle dark oak Mangrove aelia and flowering aelia will now all have particles falling from them I can't lie that was a lot of tree leaves to name but yeah every biome containing trees should now look a lot more atmospheric as you'll always see particles falling from the leaf blocks pigs have been in Minecraft since 2009 and we've only ever had one variant since it was added which is this guy but that has changed in 1. 121.

5 as once again two new variants of the pig have been added just like the cows we have a cold pig that looks like this and a warm pig that looks like this don't they just look amazing now the cold Pig has the same biome spawn as the cold cow which as I mentioned spawned in the Tiger Biome and its variant as well as the windsweep biome plus its variance the warm pigs can be found in all Savannah biomes the jungle biomes plus all of its variants and finally the Badland biomes just like the original cow the OG Pig has been renamed from pig to temperate Pig and can no longer spawn in the warm and cold biomes due to the new variant of the pigs taking their place you can still find these Legends in every other biome though so don't worry in 1. 121. 5 be on the lookout for a new flower which is known as the Wild Flower this new type of flower can grow in Birch forests old grow Birch forests and The Meadows biome this flower is unique as it can have up to four wild flowers within a single block similar to the pink petals you can also craft the wild flowers into yellow dye but I prefer to just look at how cool the flower looks now let's talk about the desert biome as it has received some new ambient sounds in this update that's right when exploring a desert biome you have a chance to hear ambient Sounds playing from the sand terra cotta blocks and even the dead bushes [Music] the beacon block has received a small update in Minecraft that's right in 1.

121. 5 the Beacon's beam has been changed to be rendered wider the further it is from the player I assume this change was done to make the beacon more visible from afar oh and the Beacon's beam will now also render up to 2,48 blocks high instead of only 1,24 blocks a small change has been made to the creaking mob in 1. 121.

4 five so before you were not able to name Creek Kings with a name tag but in 1. 121. 5 you can this also means that creakings named with a name tag will persist throughout the day and won't despawn in your world so be careful 1.

121. 5 also added these new test blocks to I guess test the game's mechanics I'll be real I have no idea how they work but I assume they used by the player and moang themselves to test the game's code to find bugs but yeah they look interesting in 1. 121.

5 the load stone block received a major change so the load stone is used to alter your compass by having it Point towards the block instead of your usual spawn point now before this update the block was crafted with eight chiseled stone bricks and a netherite Ingot however in 1. 121. 5 the load stone is now crafted with eight chiseled stone bricks and an iron ingur this is a big change as the block can be crafted a lot easier now and is also renewable oh and you can also Now find load stone blocks in a ruined portal chest in the Overworld so yeah you can now definitely control your spawn point with compasses a lot easier like with every new Minecraft update nowadays the title screen background has been updated to match the theme of Minecraft's newest update I'm a fan of this background because you really get to see the new cactus flower in full form trees have received a big change so in 1.

121. 5 you can now come across Fallen trees in your Minecraft world these are a subtype of tree that appear as if they have been cut or have fallen down the Fallen trees can be found in four different variants which are oak Birch jungle and Spruce these Fallen trees were likely added to match up with the Fallen trees that were already in Bedrock Edition and have been for many years so yeah Java players can now also enjoy a tree that has fallen down sheep in Minecraft have been changed so in 1. 121.

5 the color of the Sheep's wo will now be based on which biome they spawn in for example in cold temperature biomes Black Sheep will now be the most common sheep to find here in cold biomes you will also be able to find gray sheep light gray sheep white sheep and brown sheep but this is less common and finally in the cold biomes you can still find the super rare pink sheep so don't worry about that moving on to the Sheep spawns for warm biomes the most common sheep you will find in Badlands and deserts for example are the brown sheep you will also be able to find gray sheep light gray sheep white sheep and black sheep but again they are less common oh and don't worry warm biomes can also contain a pink sheep as well but it's very rare once again in 1. 121. 5 sheep spawns for temperate biomes AKA every every other biome in the game will remain the same this means white sheep will still be the most common sheep to find here while gray light gray black and brown sheep will be less common to encounter pink sheep however in temperate biomes have been removed no I'm joking they can still spawn in every biome but still remain very rare now what's interesting about these sheep changes is that in a previous snapshot for 1.

121. 5 other sheep colors were able to naturally spawn that's right in cold biomes you were able to find light blue sheep blue sheep and cyan sheep naturally but this change was reverted in a previous snapshot for the warm biomes you were able to find yellow sheep orange sheep and red sheep naturally as well which I think would have been really cool to encounter but yeah this change was also reverted in a later snapshot the next change in 1. 121.

5 is a change that was made to the Sheep's appearance itself so in this update the undercoats of sheep will now be colored to match their wool color for example this pink sheep when Shar will now have pink patches to represent its wall color instead of having white patches like it did before this change was done to match Minecraft Bedrock Edition as this sheep feature was already in that version of the game Not only was the Sheep's undercoat change the Sheep's face was also changed as well that's right in 1. 121. 5 the Sheep's face will no longer have white wool for every sheep color and will instead have wool on its face to match the D color it has again this change was done to match a feature that was already in Bedrock Edition but uh yeah it's weird seeing this blue sheep with blue wool on its face Minecraft has completely overhauled the appearance of Spawn eggs in 1.

121. 5 that's right in this update every spawn egg in the creative mode menu has had its texture change to make them easier to distinguish from one another for example this is the creeper spawn egg this is the pig spawn egg here's the sniffer spawn egg the Enderman Egg the panda the Axel I think you get the point at first I wasn't sure about this change but it is cool that each spawn egg has its own unique icon instead of the all just being a colored variant of the same spotted egg we had before that being said I am going to miss the original spawn egg we've been used to for so many years so on that note I have to say rest in peace OG spawn egg you will be missed since we have new spawn eggs in 1. 121.

5 a small change was made to the creative mode inventory that's right the spawn egg inventory tab has been changed from the old Pig spawn egg icon to the new creeper spawn egg icon which I think looks pretty cool actually wolves have received a pretty cool change in 1. 121. 5 so we all know m craft recently added wolf variants for different biomes but in this update we have now received new wolf sounds as well that's right wolves will now receive a random sound variant when they spawn and those new sounds are as followed first up we have Angry next up our wolf sounds called Big next up our wolf sounds called cute next up we have wolf sounds that are called Grump next up we have a wolf sound file called pugin and finally we have wolf sounds that are called s now in case you were wondering the original wolf sounds we know and love aren't going anywhere that's right these original old school wolf sounds will still be used for the original classic wolf we've had since 2011 I'm so glad they're not removing these man they're so nostalgic the mushroom cow has received some small changes in this update so in 1.

121. 5 both the red and brown mushroom cow have had their textures updated to now have their snout extruded out instead of being flat like it was before this change was done to match the texture changes recently made to the regular and new cows respectively the new Leaf litter block has received some small changes as well so in the latest snapshot for 1. 121.

5 leaf litters will now use the biome coloring system when it's placed for example if you place it in a forest biome it will look like this but in a cold snowy biome it will look like this being a much different shade of brown so yeah place a leaf litter in every biome and see the color difference I couldn't possibly think of anything more fun to do in Minecraft camels will be more common to find in 1 121. 5 this is because a change was made to where camels will now spawn naturally in desert biomes before camels could only spawn in desert Villages specifically so it's cool you'll now see them in the desert biome itself the bundle is a rather useful item that can store up to a Stacks worth of mixed item types now before this update bundles could only be crafted by the player and couldn't be found anywhere in your world but in 1. 121.

5 bond can now be found in chests within villagers which is pretty cool as my inventory legit gets full within 5 minutes of looting a village another change has been made to cheep and let me tell you guys it is a big change get ready guys because in 1. 2. 5 sheep can now eat Fern you guys know what Fern is right you know that bush variant that's found in Tiger biomes that no one ever really looks at but it's there yeah well sheep can eat them now this is huge as sheep will now have a new way to to regrow their wall after the player stole it to make a bed another thing to note is this change was made to match Bedrock Edition as sheep and Bedrock could already eat Fern before this update so uh yeah Bedrock beat us to it a small change has been made to horses in this update so before 1.

121. 5 if a horse had a saddle equipped but was then made invisible the horse along with the saddle itself would disappear however in 1. 121.

5 when the horse with a saddle is given an invisibility potion the saddle itself will still remain visible which is how it's meant to be Firefly bushes have received a small change in Minecraft's newest update so in an earlier snapshot version using bone meal on a firefly Bush would simply give the player an extra Bush to collect but in the newest snapshot for 1. 121. 5 using bone meal on a firefly Bush will now cause the bush to spread to neighboring blocks as you can see this is a good change as players will now be able to create a whole area of firefly bushes both quickly and efficiently but there you have it those were most of the things that were added in Minecraft 1.

121.
