Today, Mojang announced it will be unleashing a handful of new versions of baby farm mobs into the Minecraft testing servers.
In total, there will be eight new versions of baby farm mobs, including:
- Calves (baby cows)
- Lambs (baby sheep)
- Piglets (baby pigs)
- Kittens (baby cats)
- Baby ocelots
- Wolf pups (baby wolves)
- Baby chickens
- Baby rabbits
In earlier versions of Minecraft, baby mobs were just scaled-down versions of adult mobs with big heads. According to the developers, the redesigned mobs make the babies appear chunkier, floofier, and more charming.
The new baby mobs also have single-pixel eyes, rather than the two-pixel eyes typical of adult mobs, which creates an “adorable” new vibe. Lastly, new sound bites have been added to reflect the tinier versions of each animal.
This update is currently available for testing in the latest Java snapshot and Bedrock beta/preview versions of the game. If you’re interested in more Minecraft content, be sure to check out the new DLC that focuses on a crossover with the Stranger Things TV series.
Minecraft is currently available on basically every platform that you can think of. Last year, the survival sandbox game surpassed 300 million copies and is one of the most successful games of all time.
The franchise has become a cultural phenomenon over the past few years, so much so that it has recently debuted on the Silver screen with a dedicated movie. For more information on this and other creative simulators, be sure to check back to Simulation Daily for updates.
