Minecraft adds new pig variants, ambient falling leaves, wildflowers, and more for public testing

Elswhere, forests biomes are getting an upgrade in Minecraft’s next update, thanks to three new ambient features: falling leaves, leaf litter, and wildflowers.

More specifically, it’s introducing the new cold pig and warm pig variants – found in sub-zero biomes and sandy biomes respectively.

That starts with two new pig variants, intended to complement the bog-standard one that’s been available in-game for 15 years now.
