Minecraft Details Their ‘Cutest Drop Yet,’ New Baby Farm Mobs
Minecraft has given details on their ‘cutest drop yet,’ new baby mobs are coming to your farms.
In a new blog post, the team over at Mojang has detailed new baby farm mobs. There will be new Wolf Pup designs, with Game Artist Sarah Boeving describing them as “I just think there is something so charming with the new wolf pup design, maybe because it almost makes them feel like little stuffed animals.” There will be new chickens, kittens, rabbits, lambs, calves, ocelots, and you can craft name tags for them.
Sandra Karlsson, Audio Designer, talked about how they’ve created new sounds for these baby mobs:
“Instead of the up-pitched versions of the adult sounds, I wanted to capture the uniqueness of a kitten meow and a puppy yapping to let them have their “own” personalities and bring more life (and cuteness!!) to the Minecraft universe.”
The team detailed how to access these new additions early: You can test these features by enabling snapshots for Minecraft: Java Edition, or by enabling previews/beta* for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. To install a snapshot, open up the Minecraft Launcher and enable snapshots in the “Installations” tab. To enable preview/beta for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition follow these instructions.
