What’s New in Minecraft Tiny Takeover Update?

The Tiny Takeover drop focuses on making the small world of Minecraft feel alive and adorable. Alongside the quality-of-life improvements, you will now find unique models for all the baby mobs in Minecraft. Now, they will not have oversized heads with weird proportions. You will find the baby chickens having a yellow fluffy texture, the rabbits with new movement animations, baby pigs with new sounds, and more.

The Golden Dandelions are a new item that prevents baby mobs from growing up, and you can craft these using a regular dandelion and 8 gold nuggets. The name tags are now craftable using paper and any metal nugget. There is a new Minecraft copper trumpet sound that you can make using a note block and a copper block as well.

Apart from these, the lighting and performance enhancements are done to improve the gameplay. So, are you ready for the update, and have you checked out the new features for the upcoming Minecraft Chaos Cubed drop? Tell us in the comments below.
