Spring Ambience
Ambient Birdsong: Subtle bird chirps may be heard during dawn and dusk in specific biomes, bringing a lively springtime mood.
Lightweight Particle Effects (Experimental): Some players may notice gentler, fluttering “pollen” particles in the air around flower patches in certain areas. (This feature may require enabling Experimental Settings.)
Springtime Themed Trades & Items
Wandering Trader: Updated seasonal trades occasionally include rare flower variants or special spring-themed dye bundles.
Bonus Decorative Items (Optional): Some marketplace packs may now highlight limited-time spring items or skins to enhance your seasonal builds.
Changes & Improvements
Gameplay & World Generation
Tweaked distribution of flowers so that newly generated chunks align better with the “Spring to Life” theme.
Slightly increased spawn rates of bees in areas with dense flower growth to promote pollination and honey production.
Performance & Stability
Optimized block rendering for areas containing large clusters of flowers or grasses.
Reduced memory usage on lower-end devices when loading multiple decorative elements at once.
Mobs & AI
Bees more reliably locate hives and return at dusk, preventing them from wandering at night.
Villagers show improved pathfinding around newly placed decorative items, decreasing random block bumping in villages.
User Interface
Updated in-game tips to include references to seasonal changes (e.g., “Check out the Flower Forest for new blossoms!”).
Minor improvements to how chat messages display on smaller screens, making text slightly more readable.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a crash that could occur when players placed too many potted flowers in a single chunk.
Resolved inventory bug causing newly acquired flower variants to sometimes appear with incorrect textures.
Fixed an issue where bees occasionally became stuck in partial blocks (like fences or slabs) near large flower beds.
Corrected a lighting glitch during sunrise in Flower Forest biomes that could cause flickering for some users.
Miscellaneous Fixes related to stability, Realms connectivity, and partial rendering errors in heavily decorated areas.
Known Issues
Some players may experience minor performance drops in extremely dense flower clusters.
Occasionally, Wandering Trader spring-themed trades might not rotate properly on certain worlds; re-logging or waiting another day cycle can resolve this.
A small percentage of devices might see flickering pollen particles in Experimental Mode if certain graphics drivers are outdated.
Technical Changes
Add-On & Script Updates
Behavior Pack creators can define “springtime” tags for custom ambient effects or decorative items.
Resource Packs can now include variant spring textures for leaves and grass blocks.
Commands
/locate biome will now correctly identify increased flower generation in relevant spring-themed chunks if they’re newly generated.
