Minecraft 1.21.5 - The Spring to Life drop

It’s time to experience new wonders of the Overworld as we release the Spring to Life drop, the first Minecraft game drop of 2025.

The Spring to Life drop brings more reasons to explore both near and far! Warm winds have swept across biomes, bringing new mob variants, ambient sounds, and lush plants for you to discover.

Befriend fluffy pigs, marvel at glittering firefly bushes, listen out for whispers of sand, and delight in a blooming Overworld humming with new beginnings.

In this release we are also making the game tests system accessible through data packs with the new test command. And as usual, we continue to rebuild our engine to improve the experience for players and content creators. We are sure all those spare parts left on our floor can’t be that important, right?
