Get ready to coo, *Minecraft* players, because Mojang Studios is dialing up the cuteness factor significantly in an upcoming update focused entirely on juvenile mobs. While these diminutive creatures have been part of the blocky world for ages, they are finally getting a much-needed, comprehensive graphical and audio overhaul. Mojang has shared a first look at these baby mob remasters, which are currently undergoing testing, promising that creatures like wolf pups, kittens, piglets, calves, and lambs will emerge “chunkier, floofier, and more charming than ever before.”
This aesthetic adjustment is more than just a simple touch-up. As Game Director Agnes Larsson explained in the announcement video, the original versions of the baby mobs were generally just scaled-down models of their adult counterparts, lacking distinct youthful characteristics. The new update rectifies this by providing bespoke, unique designs for each juvenile animal. This not only involves entirely new modeling—including subtle facial adjustments to enhance their baby-like appearance—but also a complete sound replacement. To ensure maximum authenticity, Mojang sourced entirely new audio recordings based on real-life baby animals, meaning your tiny new farm inhabitants will finally sound as adorable as they look.
