On June 17, 2025, Mojang is set to unveil two exciting updates for the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft: “Chase The Skies” and “Vibrant Visuals”. Both updates will be available at no cost and are designed to enrich the gaming experience with a host of new features.
🕊️ Chase The Skies: Fly High with Happy Ghasts
The “Chase The Skies” update introduces players to the Happy Ghast, a whimsical flying mount capable of carrying up to four adventurers. To tame this delightful creature, players must embark on a quest to locate a Dried Ghast Block in the Nether. After submerging it in water, patience is key as the block transforms into a Ghastling. Once matured, this Ghastling can be harnessed to become a Happy Ghast. Additionally, the update enhances gameplay with a Player Locator Bar for tracking friends and introduces new mechanics for mob and boat interactions, including leash and saddle functionalities.
🎨 Vibrant Visuals: A Stunning Graphics Overhaul
The “Vibrant Visuals” update promises a remarkable graphical enhancement for Minecraft, featuring:
- Directional Lighting and Shadows: Experience the dynamic interplay of light as the sun traverses the sky.
- Water Reflections: Enjoy lifelike reflections of the environment on water surfaces.
- Volumetric Fog: Immerse yourself in the depth and atmosphere added to various biomes.
- Enhanced Mob and Item Lighting: Witness glowing effects on mobs and items, with torchlight casting radiant paths.
This update is currently available on Minecraft: Bedrock Edition for compatible devices, with plans for a future release on Java Edition.
✅ How to Prepare
To fully embrace these updates, players are encouraged to:
- Gather Materials: Collect essential items such as ghast tears, soul sand, and string for crafting saddles and leads.
- Build a Ghastling Station: Set up a water area to facilitate the transformation of Dried Ghast Blocks into Ghastlings.
- Optimize Your Device: Ensure your system meets the requirements for the Vibrant Visuals update to fully enjoy the enhanced graphics.
These updates are poised to elevate the Minecraft experience, offering new gameplay mechanics and stunning visual enhancements. Whether soaring through the skies on a Happy Ghast or marveling at the game’s revitalized graphics, players have much to anticipate.
