Endermen are hostile creatures in Minecraft that inhabit the Nether, Overworld, and the End. They teleport and become aggressive when a player makes direct eye contact. To prepare for battle, players should equip a strong weapon (preferably a netherite sword), good armor (netherite or diamond), have plenty of food, and carry water buckets to exploit Endermen's weakness to water. Players can also wear a carved pumpkin to avoid provoking them. Endermen typically spawn at night, in the Warped Forest biome, or within the End. To engage safely, players should look at the Enderman's feet and strike first if they remain neutral. Effective strategies to defeat Endermen include using water to deter attacks, hiding under a 2-block high shelter, and trapping them in a boat to prevent teleportation. Players should avoid using bows or crossbows, as Endermen will teleport away from arrows, and throwing snowballs or eggs will not cause damage. Teaming up with friends can make battles easier, and players should be aware that Endermen can pick up blocks. Defeating an Enderman rewards players with Ender Pearls, which are used for teleportation and crafting Eyes of Ender, as well as experience points.

Minecraft Snapshot 25W08A introduces several new features, including six sound variants for wolves that allow them to express different traits through barks, growls, pants, and whines. The original white wolf retains its classic sounds, while the new variants include big, cute, public, angry, grumpy, and sad. Spawn eggs have been visually updated with unique textures and size variations corresponding to the mobs they spawn. Sheep wool color rules have been refined: in cold biomes, black wool is most common, followed by gray, light gray, white, and brown; in warm biomes, brown wool is most common, followed by gray, light gray, white, and black. Pink wool is the rarest across all biomes. Leaf litter now features shades that correspond to their respective biomes, and sheep can have dyed undercoats and consume fern blocks, aligning their behavior more closely with the Bedrock edition.

The upcoming Minecraft Movie, set to premiere on April 4, features a character called Chicken Jockey, depicted as a large, green-skinned creature riding a chicken, which has drawn comparisons to the Marvel superhero, the Hulk. Fans have reacted on social media with a mix of humor and disdain, sharing memes and GIFs expressing their opinions. The Chicken Jockey is a familiar mob in the Minecraft universe, appearing as a newborn zombie riding a chicken. The filmmakers aimed to enhance the chaotic essence of Minecraft's mobs, presenting them humorously and formidably. While some viewers find the design amusing, others worry it may overshadow the film's world-building efforts. Critics are optimistic about the film's originality but caution against an overreliance on meme culture.

Parrots in Minecraft are colorful creatures found primarily in jungle biomes, where they spawn in small groups of one to two, typically perched above leaves, logs, or grassy patches. They can be tamed using seeds, including melon seeds, wheat seeds, pumpkin seeds, and beetroot seeds, with a 33.33% chance of successful taming each time seeds are fed. Once tamed, parrots can follow players or perch on their shoulders. Players should avoid feeding parrots cookies, as they are harmful, and be cautious around dangerous areas like water or lava to prevent injury to the parrots.

Markus "Notch" Persson, the creator of Minecraft and founder of Mojang Studios, has been largely absent from game development since selling Mojang to Microsoft for .5 billion in 2014. Recently, he launched a social media poll to gauge interest in his next project, considering either a new game or a sequel to Minecraft. He expressed interest in developing a roguelike game but acknowledged the legal challenges of creating a Minecraft sequel without Microsoft's approval. Following the poll, he decided to develop a roguelike dungeon crawler titled "Levers and Chests," despite some fans' disappointment over the lack of a Minecraft sequel. Microsoft has distanced itself from Persson since the acquisition, removing references to him from Minecraft and excluding him from the game's tenth-anniversary celebration. Persson's new project will retain a voxel/pixelated art style reminiscent of Minecraft, and he aims to create a game that honors Minecraft's legacy while respecting Mojang's intellectual property.
