Get Ready to Take Flight: Minecraft’s “Chase the Skies” Update Launches June 17!

Mark your calendars, fellow Minecrafters! The highly anticipated “Chase the Skies” update is launching on June 17, 2025, bringing a host of exciting new features and improvements to the game. Get ready to explore the Overworld like never before!

What’s New in “Chase the Skies”?
This update is packed with content, focusing on enhancing exploration and adding some much-requested quality-of-life improvements. Here’s a rundown of the key features:

• Soar Through the Skies with Happy Ghasts: Say hello to your new favorite flying companion! The “Chase the Skies” update introduces Happy Ghasts, rideable mobs that will allow you to take to the skies. Finding and taming one will be an adventure in itself! You’ll need to venture into the Nether to find Dried Ghast Blocks, then bring them back to the Overworld and rehydrate them. Once you have a Ghastling, feed it snowballs until it grows into a rideable Happy Ghast.
• Never Lose Your Friends Again: The new Player Locator Bar will make multiplayer adventures much easier! This handy feature displays the location of your teammates, so you can easily coordinate and explore together.
• Leash ‘Em Up: Updated lead mechanics will allow you to leash multiple mobs together, create caravans, or even attach boats to your Happy Ghast for mid-air transport!
• Craftable Saddles: No more searching for saddles in chests! You’ll finally be able to craft them yourself.
• New Tunes to Explore To: Enjoy five new ambient music tracks that will enhance the atmosphere of different Overworld biomes, plus a new music disc that can be looted from Ghasts.
• Vibrant Visuals (Bedrock Edition): Players on Bedrock Edition are in for a treat! This update includes a visual overhaul called Vibrant Visuals, which brings improved lighting, shadows, water reflections, and more to the game. Java Edition players will receive this update at a later date.
  
  How to Prepare for “Chase the Skies“:
  To make the most of the update, here are a few things you can do to prepare:
• Gather Resources: Start collecting Ghast Tears, Soul Sand, Strings, and Leather. These will be useful for crafting saddles, leads, and acquiring your very own Happy Ghast.
• Build a Happy Ghast Station: Consider building a safe and convenient place to rehydrate your Dried Ghast and raise your Ghastling.
• Stockpile Snowballs: You’ll need plenty of snowballs to feed your Ghastling and help it grow into a Happy Ghast.
  Get ready for takeoff! “Chase the Skies” promises to be an exciting update that will change the way you explore the world of Minecraft.
