Warm chicken is not roast chicken! “Minecraft” updates mutant chickens with colored eggs, desert president cactus flowers and hay

Mojang Studios is busy adding new content to the pixel sandbox “Minecraft”, the first snapshot update in February 25w06a and the bedrock preview version added two new types of chickens, and the ecological area of ​​the desert area adds hay and flowering cactus.

“Minecraft” has two updates in January that bring mutant cattle and mutant pigs. Although the drop items are no different from the original breed, they make the game’s world view more detailed. This time, the human delicious partner “chicken” followed up with the mutation. The existing chickens will be renamed temperate chickens, and the spawning conditions of each chicken are different.

The first cold chicken (cold chicken) has blue-gray feathers to adapt to cold climates, mainly in cold zone ecosystems such as snow fields or snowy coniferous forests. Like ordinary chickens, if they are not disciplined, they will breed and lay dark green eggs indefinitely. Players will have the chance to hatch gray chickens after they break them.

In contrast, the other type is warm chicken, which lives in hotter environments, such as deserts and wild fields (savannas), covered with light brown feathers and will give birth to a color that matches the color of its own feathers. Brown egg.

As for the traditional white chicken, it is still produced in other regions and has not been affected. Officials say that although these new chickens look stupid, players should still be careful that they may make all kinds of pranks.

In addition to the expansion of chicken flocks, this update has also further adjusted the desert environment. The most surprising thing is the cactus. Now these green bachelors who grow in ecological fields such as deserts and evil lands may naturally bloom pink flowers. .

Cactus flowers can not only attract bees to collect honey, but can also be used for compost (30% chance), or used to synthesize pink dyes, allowing players to add more colors when building cherry blossom buildings, but cactus flowers with a height of squares cannot Put it in the flower pot.

• 1 to 2 Cactus columns with a height of 10%. There is a chance that cactus flowers will grow without growing taller.
• 25% chance of growing cactus flower in 3 grids and higher
• Like cactus, cactus flowers will be generated only when space is empty on all sides.

The official joked that when I first saw this cactus flower in the game, some developers thought they had encountered a mirage, and they didn’t come back to their senses until they were reminded to have a meeting in the office.

At the same time, new changes have occurred in the surface vegetation in desert areas, “hay”. This yellow grass can grow in deserts and bad lands, and is divided into two types: Short Dry Grass and Tall Dry Grass.

Players can use bone meal to make short hay taller, or make the blocks near high hay produce new short hay. Hay can be planted in sand, clay and earth blocks like dead shrubs, and can also be used as fuel.

Hay wild allows players to nomadic in the desert, making it more convenient to raise sheep. Eating hay helps grow wool and plays a role similar to ordinary grass blocks.

The above update content has been launched in the Java version snapshot update 25w06a and Bedrock preview version. Players can download and experience it immediately and experience this new transformation brought by chickens and desert plants for themselves. For other detailed adjustments, please refer to the official development log.
