This week we have been contemplating existential questions like "What came first; the cold chicken or the blue egg?". It's time for the cold chicken and the warm chicken to make their way into snapshot 25w06a together with their respective colorful egg. In addition, pink cactus flowers and dry grass will now decorate deserts and badlands.
New Features
- Added Warm and Cold Chicken variants
- Added Short Dry Grass and Tall Dry Grass
- Added Cactus Flower block which can grow on Cactus blocks
Farm Animal variants
- Warm and cold variants have been added for Chicken
- Existing Chicken variant has been renamed to temperate
- The variant is determined by the biome they spawn in
- Warm and cold biomes are the same for all animals with variants (i.e. Chicken, Pig, Cow)
- Two new Egg items have been added for the warm and cold Chicken variants
- Blue Egg - The Egg that is laid by and can hatch cold Chicken variant
- Brown Egg - The Egg that is laid by and can hatch warm Chicken variant
- Already existing Egg is laid by and can hatch temperate Chicken variant
Short and Tall Dry Grass
- Added two new types of grass: Short Dry Grass and Tall Dry Grass
- Both are one block high, which makes Tall Dry Grass differ from Tall Grass which is two blocks high
- Both generate in the Desert and Badlands
- Both can be placed on types of Sand, Terracotta and Dirt blocks like the Dead Bush
- Both can be bone mealed
- Using Bone Meal on Short Dry Grass grows it into a Tall Dry Grass
- Using Bone Meal on Tall Dry Grass places a neighbouring Short Dry Grass next to the block if possible
- Both can be used in the Composter
- Sheep can eat both to regrow its wool
- Both can be used as fuel for smelting
Cactus Flower
- Cactus Flower is a new type of flower which has a chance of generating on cactuses in Deserts and Badlands
- Cactus Flower can be placed on Cactus blocks or any block which has center support at the top of the block
- Cactus Flowers have a chance of growing on Cactus blocks
- If a Cactus is one or two blocks high the Cactus Flower has a 10% chance to grow instead of the Cactus getting higher
- If a Cactus is three blocks or higher the Cactus Flower has a 25% chance to grow
- Cactus Flowers will only grow if they have space on all four sides
- Cactus Flowers can be used in the Composter
- A Cactus Flower can be used to craft 1 Pink Dye
Changes
- Any block in the simulation distance of a player or loaded by another source of chunk loading (such as Ender Pearls) may now receive random ticks, instead of just 8 chunks around players
- For example: if a chunk is loaded by an Ender Pearl or is in the spawn chunks, crops are able to grow, Ice can melt, Snow can fall, and a Cauldron can be filled by rain
- Mob spawning, Lava spreading fire, and Lightning strikes still occur in the previous radius of 8 chunks around players
- Fire will no longer burn or spread if no player is within 8 chunks
- Tooltips for Fireworks and Crossbows now show a compact form of multiple repeated stars or projectiles that are identical
Firefly Bush

- it's night
- Firefly Bush not blocked from above by any collidable block (except Leaves)

- Default value: false
Block Tags
- #dead_bush_may_place_on has been renamed to #dry_vegetation_may_place_on
- Added #edible_for_sheep - blocks that can be eaten by Sheep to regrow their Wool
Item Tags
- Added #eggs - all variants of the Egg item
Entity Data
- The armor and off-hand equipment of Players is now also stored in the equipment field (although items written into the Inventory using armor and off-hand slot numbers still work)

- This feature is experimental
- Fields in file:
- model - one of: normal, cold
