Minecraft 1.21.6 is officially here — and it’s soaring to new heights with the “Chase the Skies” update! From floating with happy ghasts to turning on Vibrant Visuals without any mods, this update is packed with features that players have been dreaming of.
Whether you’re on Java or Bedrock, here’s your full breakdown of the newest features, release details, and how to prep your server.
🗓️ Minecraft Chase the Skies Release Date
Mojang confirmed the launch date: June 17, 2025. No more snapshots or waiting — the skies are opening, and the Overworld will never be the same.
😄 Meet the Happy Ghasts (Yes, They’re Rideable!)
The centerpiece of 1.21.6 is the Happy Ghast, a brand-new tameable mob that lets you soar across the world with your friends.
How to Get a Happy Ghast:
- Go to the Nether and find or craft a Dried Ghast
(Ghast Tear + Soul Sand) - Hydrate it in water — it transforms into a Ghastling
- Feed it snowballs to evolve into a full-sized Happy Ghast
- Craft a harness (Leather + Wool + Glass)
- Ride it with up to 3 friends at once!
Flying has never felt so magical.
🌈 Vibrant Visuals (No Mods Needed)
The new Vibrant Visuals setting is like shaders, but built into the game.
- Dynamic lighting
- Realistic shadows
- Enhanced reflections
Currently only on Bedrock Edition (June 17 launch), with future plans for Java.
