- The upcoming Minecraft Summer Drop Game 2025 is called ‘Chase the Skies’
- This ties in perfectly with the new ghast variants, including the new happy ghasts, which help you soar through the skies in the game.
- Other new features introduced in the upcoming Summer Drop 2025 are the Player Locator Bar, Vibrant Visuals, new recipes for Lead, Saddles, and many more ambient changes.
The upcoming Minecraft Summer Drop in 2025 will give all the crafters an unforgettable adventure across the skies. Scheduled to roll out soon, the brand new update will bring brand new mounts, better crafting recipes, some game-enhancing tools, and finally, a visual overhaul to the Bedrock edition. After waiting in excitement for so long, Mojang has officially unveiled the official name of the upcoming Minecraft Summer Drop 2025.
As revealed hours ago, the Minecraft Summer Game Drop will be called Chase the Skies. The update name is, of course, quite apt as crafters are getting the brand new ghast variants, including the cute flying happy ghast mob.
For those unaware, the happy ghasts are tameable creatures you can raise from their initial stages when they’re just a dried ghast block. It all begins in the Nether dimension, where you can get the dried ghast, bring it to the overworld, waterlog it to convert it into a ghastling, and finally wait for the ghastling to convert into a happy ghast.
Chase the Skies Also Brings Player Locator Bar
Finding your friends has never been easier since Snapshots introduced the Player Locator Bar. This new tool will show all your friends’ positions as colorful indicators called waypoints.
This way, you won’t need to follow any coordinates or the random directions given by your friends. However, if you like to stay hidden from the radar, consider crouching, wearing a mob head or a carved pumpkin, or using a potion of invisibility.
New Crafting Recipes For Lead and Saddles
With the new update in Minecraft, leads and saddles are now easier to craft. While the former only requires 5 Strings, the latter requires 3 Leather and an Iron Ingot. Furthermore, we have a brand new material called Ghast Harness that can be used to mount the happy ghasts.
Leads and shears have a new functionality where leads can be used to make a caravan of mobs, while now you can use shears to cut off leashes attached to the mobs.
Visual Overhaul with Vibrant Visuals
Finally, the Bedrock edition of Minecraft is receiving a massive visual upgrade. Vibrant Visuals will introduce new light shadow mechanics, bring new shadows and shading, fog effects, and enhanced biome beauty.
While you’re adoring the sunrise-drenched oceans or exploring the glowing firefly bushes near river beds, Vibrant Visuals adds a layer of immersion that redefines your Minecraft experience. Want to try it already? Check out how to turn on Vibrant Visuals in Minecraft.
In addition to all these changes, you will find many more new ambient features and six new music tracks, including the Tears music disc. Have you tried them out through the latest Snapshots yet? Let us know in the comments below!
