Minecraft snapshot 25w20a introduces the ability to craft saddles using three pieces of leather and one iron ingot. It also features a new music disc titled “Tears,” composed by Amos Roddy, along with five ambient tracks for various biomes. Players can now use shears to remove saddles, horse armor, harnesses, and carpets from animals, but not if the mob has a rider or if the player is crouching. Saddles will no longer be found as loot in structures, replaced by leather. Visual updates include fog effects on 3D HUD elements and reduced fog density during thunderstorms and rain. Additionally, players using Minecraft Realms will see new region indicators on the loading screen.

Minecraft capes have become more accessible to players due to a change in the distribution model by Mojang Studios. Players can acquire capes through various methods, including merging Mojang and Microsoft accounts, watching Minecraft content during special events, submitting custom maps, playing new updates, and receiving seasonal items in the Minecraft Marketplace. In Java Edition, players can equip capes by navigating to the Skins tab in the launcher, selecting or creating a skin, and choosing a cape from their inventory. In Bedrock Edition, players can access capes through the Dressing Room and select their desired cape from the inventory. Optifine allows players to equip custom capes visible only to other Optifine users, which require a donation to obtain. Players can view their capes in-game through the inventory screen or by switching to third-person mode. Certain capes remain exclusive to developers or contributors, making them rare and highly sought after.

Minecraft Realms has faced significant connectivity issues since August 13, following the release of update 1.21.20. This update was intended to improve Realms invite links and fix bugs but instead caused prolonged loading times, connection errors, and outages across all gaming platforms. Mojang acknowledged the issues and stated they were working to restore service. By August 17, only about 70% of players had regained access, and traffic to Realms on version 1.21.20 was blocked on all platforms except the Nintendo Switch until a hotfix could be implemented. As of August 19, complaints about connectivity issues continued, with an increase in reports noted by Downdetector. The situation has led to frustration among players regarding the reliability of the paid service.
