- The existing honey, and honeycomb farms in the world have been purely technical builds for a while, with minimal decoration. This is an opportunity to update both the functionality, and the aesthetic of the farms.

FROM: Rodomify
SUBJECT: More Warm And Cold Animal Variations
Hello Joel and Pix,
In the new snapshot (25W02A) Mojang released the new variants of pigs, and with it, new tags that imply that they will add more variants for other farm mobs. Frogs already have warm, and cold versions, and recently Mojang added different dog types.
What other mobs do you think they could update to have more aesthetic variants?
Rodomify has made the advancement [Variants of Mob Kind]

New Year, New Features!
Joel, and Jonny discuss the new features added in the first Minecraft: Java Edition snapshot of 2025. New cold, and warm biome pig variants are fine, and dandy, but what gameplay could be added to pigs? Falling leaf particles for all trees adds lovely ambience to the world, but spruce trees don’t technically have leaves. Leave litter, and wildflowers open up even more sub-block creativity for players. How could these new sub-block texture be made tweaked to add even more possibilities?
