Minecraft's first update for 2026 will introduce baby mobs, featuring a comprehensive re-skinning of eight different mobs: cows, pigs, ocelots, cats, chickens, wolves, sheep, and rabbits. The update aims to give these baby animals a more distinctive look with single-pixel eyes and new sounds. While a specific release date is not confirmed, it is speculated to debut in spring, potentially as early as March. Additionally, the update will include craftable name tags, allowing players to name pets easily by combining a sheet of paper with a metal nugget.
