The first trailer for 2025 has arrived, complete with new blocks and monsters, which is quite a pleasant surprise! So, today, we’re exploring all the blocks and mobs in Minecraft Snapshot 25w02a.

Minecraft Snapshot 25w02a: All Blocks & Mobs

Wildflowers

Wildflowers are new carpet flowers that can grow in the Birch Forest, Old Growth Birch Forest, and Grassland biomes. Wildflowers in varying numbers can occupy the same block with a four “story” limit, causing different appearances and using bone meal on wildflowers will result in more wildflowers. Wildflowers can also be made into yellow dye.

Leaf Trash

Leaf litter is the second carpet block in Snapshot 25w02a that can generate in the Jungle, Dark Forest, and Wooded Badlands biomes. Like wildflowers, different numbers of leaves can occupy the same block with a limit of four “levels”. Additionally, stepping on leaf litter causes a crunching sound. Leaf litter can be created by melting down leaf blocks.

Warm Pork

Warm pigs are one of two new pig variants found in the Savanna, Savanna Plateau, Windswept Savanna, Jungle, Sparse Jungle, Bamboo Jungle, Eroded Badlands, Wooded Badlands, and Badlands biomes. Mechanically they are the same as regular pigs, so these changes are only cosmetic.

Cold Pork

Cold pigs are the second new pig variant found in the Old Growth Pine Taiga, Old Growth Spruce Taiga, Taiga, Snowy Taiga, Windswept Hills, Windswept Gravelly Hills, and Windswept Forest biomes. Mechanically, they are also the same as regular pigs, so these changes are only cosmetic.

Lode Stone (Updated)

Lodestone blocks have been around since Minecraft 1.16, but Minecraft Snapshot 25w02a will give them new life with updated recipes and new looting opportunities. The recipe now consists of one iron ingot surrounded by eight hewn stone blocks. Some players may also find them in chests around destroyed portals.

For those who may not remember, lodestone blocks cause compasses to point to them when placed, making them useful for marking your base.
