A new testing build for Minecraft introduces significant visual enhancements for various baby mobs, alongside the addition of craftable nametags for pets.
Historically, baby mobs in Minecraft were simply scaled-down versions of their adult counterparts. This is set to change with a substantial increase in variety. These younger creatures now feature distinct textures and models, giving them unique appearances. New audio cues have also been implemented for baby mobs, further differentiating them.
