Minecraft Bedrock Edition just got a major refresh with the Actions & Stuff 1.5 update, released on July 4, 2025. This update packs a punch with new animations, better visuals, and fun gameplay tweaks that make exploring and building even more enjoyable. From cute mobs to fancy block textures, here’s a rundown of the five best features that’ll make your Minecraft adventures pop.
Happy Ghasts and Ghastlings with Custom Harnesses
The Chase the Skies game drop brings Happy Ghasts and their tiny buddies, Ghastlings, with fresh animations and textures. You can deck them out with 16 different harnesses, like a bee-themed yellow one or a red one with a bowtie. Hook a Happy Ghast to a boat, and it turns into a hot-air balloon. Ghastlings? They become handheld balloons, making your travels look straight-up magical.
Expressive Player Facial Animations
The Expressions system gives your character’s face some life. In third-person view, your skin now has blinking eyes, moving pupils, and animated eyebrows. It’s a small touch, but it makes your character feel more real and adds some personality to multiplayer hangouts.
Enhanced Diving and Water Interactions
Jumping into water got a lot cooler. Hit the crouch button while entering water, and you can do a regular dive, a cannonball, or even a belly-flop. Plus, boats now leave a foamy trail behind them, making your boat rides look way more realistic and fun.
New Wolf and Cat Animations
Wolves and cats got a glow-up with new animations that mimic real animals. You’ll see them snoozing, playing, or just chilling in new poses. There’s also a fun secret: name a cat "Oiia Oiia," and it’ll do a loafing and spinning move that’s honestly adorable.
Custom Double Slab Block Textures and 3D Blocks
Builders, this one’s for you. The update adds 60 unique textures for double slab blocks when you stack two slabs together, giving you tons of new design options. Plus, blocks like mushrooms and dripstone now have 3D textures, making your worlds look more detailed and alive.
