Let's talk about the Cherry Blossom Biome!

Pinned

There's a brand-new biome coming to Minecraft in update 1.20 - the Cherry Blossom biome. Available to try out now in Java snapshot and coming later to Bedrock preview, this biome is filled with beautiful cherry blossom trees. 

These trees come with a full wood set that is perfect for builders partial to a bit of pink, and you can even plant your own cherry blossom trees using saplings found in the biome. 

As with other 1.20 features, we're still developing and iterating on the cherry blossom biome and would love to hear general thoughts and feedback, as well as how you feel about the new wood set from a visual standpoint. 

Do you like the look of the planks? Do they look good with other blocks? Let us know what you think in the comments!

    Since we get a new biome can we get a new village type? Asian theme would be so cool !

    Absolute love these beautiful pink trees, but I do have a few complaints.

    1.The coloration of the planks is a little too bright, feels almost white. I'd say you could darken the texture a hair.

    2. It's a little too pink. Don't get me wrong, I like pink, but it's the only color there, spare the grass and logs. Adding a bit more variety in the vegetation would help. Like adding some white flowers, nothing major.

    I know new mobs are a hard ask, but I think a mob for the new cherry blossom biome, as well as maybe one with the updated bamboo forest biome would be really great. But the cherry blossom especially. I think maybe birds such as cardinals and other colorful birds could appear here. For the bamboo forests and just jungle overall there could be some monkeys such as orangutans which eat bamboo. They could have a friendly relationship with the panda bears as well.

    I think u should add a rare Mob for the cherry blossom biome and also make it a little rare like the mushroom island little less rare but not too common
    Hope u consider this

    I really love the new addition of cherry blossom trees to Minecraft, but I want to suggest adding maple trees as well, as I think that it would not only help add more variety to leaf and wood colors, but also help bring the sensation of seasons to Minecraft (cherry blossom trees corresponding to spring, and maple trees corresponding to autumn).

    The recently announced Cherry Blossom biome looks fantastic! I do however have some suggestions to help make this area even more beautiful and enticing.

    My suggestions:
    1. Large Cherry Blossom tree variant (either a large variant on it's own, or perhaps a separate overgrown biome!)
    2. Water within the Cherry Blossom biome could have a slight pink tint
    3. Rocks/boulders with moss - to help break up the terrain and increase the natural beautiful landscape
    4. Cherry blossom piles that can be on land or water
    5.  Sky tinted pink or a biome-specific skybox that is pink in the middle/towards the ground, but blue on top
    6. Change the particle of the cherry blossoms into something that closer resembles petals

    Extra suggestion...
    1. Perhaps this is a time to add the Moolip/bloom ;)

    Thank you for your time reading this! <3

    Is good but there could be more things added like bamboo and can also have some mossy cobblestone pile on the ground as well as some flowers and even a pond surrounded mostly with clay blocks
    But overall they are just suggestions I still like the biome just ways to improve it a bit more

    I made a suggestion about this separately but I would like to add this to the thread so it's easy to collate.

    > Allow bamboo and birch trees to spawn in Cherry groves, to vary the tree cover like in normal Forests and add a splash of greenery. Possibly also add lily pads to water sources near Cherry biomes?


    > Adjust the textures for the woodset. The stripped log is a gorgeous colour, and it would be nice if the planks, door and trapdoor matched that richer, slightly more saturated pink hue. Also, the contrast for the planks may benefit from being retouched and increased slightly, to bring it in parity with the other planks. It might be worth trying a slightly redder/browner colour for the unstripped logs, too.


    > Adjust leaf textures. The leaves are beautiful, but could also use an increase in saturation to make them more vibrant, much like the woodset. Possibly they could be tuned to be more complementary to the spore blossom in colour? Also, they don't quite come off as 'leaves' due to the distinct lack of transparent pixels, which could also be increased.

     

    > A more far-fetched suggestion, but perhaps the door and trapdoor could be edited to have a sort of heart motif? I think the current textures are fine, but in the case of the trapdoor, glaringly off-center. This would also reinforce the loving aspect of the Cherry biome.

    The Cherry blossom biome in its current iteration is wonderful, and visually pleasing. However it is a little lacking. If there was some other types of plants, like the occasional bamboo patch or some other variation on terrain or flora, it would add to the preexisting ambiance of the Cherry Blossom biome.

    I feel like having the particles that drop from the Cherry Blossom leaves move around while falling rather than just falling straight down would make the biome and the atmosphere feel a lot more alive and dynamic.

    I like the new biome. I like the new tree. Minecraft lakes trees diversity or plants. And this new biome makes it more diverse. But I think it needs to have some cool things. Like different animals or butterflies or fireflies (please????) Or else it will be more one more added biome with nothing to do or visit. Minecraft has millions of biomes but only has like 10 animals on them. We need more animals.

    Overall, the Cherry Grove is beautiful! The cherry trees look stunning, and the pink petals are a very nice touch to the biome. And the wood set is great. Now there isn't too much I have for feedback, but I do have some suggestions for the Cherry Grove:

    1. For building, cherry trees are perfect for it, but they could use some practical use. Maybe the cherry leaves could drop cherries, that way cherry trees could drop a renewable food source that is also consistent with cherry trees in real life.
    2. It has been a while since we had a new village variant, and maybe the Cherry Grove could be the next potential biome for a new village! Cherry Grove villages could have an oriental theme, and incorporate the new cherry planks as well as the mangrove planks from the past update into the buildings.
    3. And finally, maybe the pink petals block could also generate in lush cave biome as well. I know it isn't related to the Cherry Grove biome necessarily, but I do think the pink petals block would look good in the lush caves too.

    Otherwise, that is all the feedback I can give for now. It really is starting to look like an amazing update, and I hope my advice has help!

    Hello, I would like to share an idea. It would be good if a new mob is in the cherry biome that could be: The Hummingbird. Since it could add more life to the cherry biome, and could pollinate the cherry trees. And that the hummingbirds have a nest where they can lay their eggs and hatch it so that the baby comes out.

    It would be nice if in this new biome they add a lagoon and that a waterfall comes out of that lagoon or just that they add a lagoon.

    Considering this game is based off of fantasy violence, I think you guys should add some fae/faries included in this specific biome! Just imagine how cute it would be to explore a cherry blossom biome and you just see tiny fairies flying around with little mushrooms huts either on the ground or kind of like a birdhouse, hanging off the wood. I think it would be really cool for them to have a mechanic similar to bees too! Ex: you break their mushroom huts or start causing a lot of noise around them, the fairies will leave and look around for what's disturbing them and try to attack you, etc

    Hello, I would like to suggest some things

    1- On the aesthetic side, maybe make the texture of the trunk of the cherry trees more reddish/brown to give it more realism

    2- Fix the texture of the leaves, the block looks very solid in comparison of the other trees, make it a little more random and with more transparency

    3- That the planks have some amber touches like real cherry wood

    4- Give the objects that can be made with this wood a more oriental look

    5- Add the variants of the cherry tree, pink, white and white flowers with pink

    6- If it were possible to add a mechanic for the tree, make it lose its flowers from time to time and only its leaves remain and then flowers again (I don't know if it is much ask to add the autumn phase of the tree, which is when its leaves acquire reddish/orange/copper tones, it would be incredible for the landscape to have it and it would be the first dynamic tree)

    7- Add the cherry as an aesthetically visible fruit on the tree that can be removed by hand and that it is a food like the berry, even that the cherry petal can be included as an item with some function

    8- Add a new exclusive structure of this biome a lake with lamps with oriental constructions or/and add a japanese style village with a decorated lake too

    Particles look like pink honey, maybe they could look more like petals (in air and when they land)?

    falling blossom petals particle look like drop of liquid, such as dropping lava/water particle
    I think it's better to turn small particles into large-shaped petals, and make the dropping petals particle motion very slowly from side to side in the wind.

    I feel as if there should be something to explore in these Cherry Blossom biomes. What I've seen so far is nice, but I do think it could be nice for small structures like shrines of some sort to be here. It gives more incentive for people to come to the biome even if they aren't in search of the wood.

    I also saw someone here before recommend that the door for this type of wood be a sliding door, which I absolutely love. It doesn't even need to replace the current cherry blossom door, it can be its own item with a unique crafting recipe. I can see iron nuggets, string, or wool being used in it.

    I think the grass in this biome should be more lighter or warmer. So it can be more beautiful. And this biome should be larger

    Greetings Mojang Development Team, I have some small ideas that I think could really help pull cherry blossoms together! My main concern currently with the cherry blossom leaves, and cherry blossom petals, is that they generate a very grid-like pattern due to the textures being the same on all sides, which makes them feel more plastic-like when viewing, removing the feeling of fluffy trees. On the other hand, the petals that are placed on the tops of blocks are the same way, where they create a relapsing pattern that removes the natural wonder from the block. With that being said, I think there could be some simple changes that could be made to fix this! If like other flowers, the petals were somewhat randomized in orientation and also randomized in their position on a block, it would create a much more organic feel. When it comes to the cherry blossom leaves, if there was simply a slightly different texture on each side, and the leaves had a random orientation upon being generated/placed, it would make the cherry trees feel significantly more realistic! 
    I hope this makes sense, and thank you for all that you do!

    I really like the look of the biome so far, but it does feel a little empty and lacking in oomph. Stuff I'd like to see done:

    • More foliage! I love the pink petal flower carpets(honestly would love to see a whole spectrum of flower colors using this same mechanic) and the trees, but there should be more. Wisteria vines would compliment the trees well. The other purple/pink flowers already in the game would look nice too. And perhaps occasional bamboo patches.
    • The green on the Cherry leaves looks weird, would be better if the leaves were completely pink
    • A white variant of the cherry blossom leaves might also be cool to add as a rarer variant of cherry blossom trees.
    • It would be cool if pink sheep had a slightly higher chance of spawning in this biome
    • I like the door texture, but I think it's a missed opportunity to not make the doors resemble traditional Japanese doors, called Shōji, in both form and function.
    • I think the biome should generate at both high and lower altitudes, not just higher ones. Or at the very least I think the biome should be a little "flatter" even if it is higher.
    • Moolips(the pink mooblooms from Minecraft Earth) would compliment the biome well

    What if the Cherry Blossom Trees doesn't drop apples but drops Cherries? Thoughts?

    Koi fish could spawn in the cherry blossom biome! They would function like any other fish as far as eating/feeding cats/etc goes, and would come in a couple different color variants (not nearly as many as tropical fish, but maybe a few main morphs--orange and white, black and white, gold and white, tricolor, etc.) Bonus points if they had whiskers (barbels). They could also potentially spawn in lush caves, but I think it'd be cooler if the cherry blossom biome got a unique mob.

    Yes! The cherry blossom is a great addition to minecraft! It is totally different and adds a new side to the game, there's so much dark stuff to the game that we need something bright, cute, etc. Maybe adding new mob for that specific biome!

    I love cherry groves. My only suggestions are to let some kind of tall flower generate in them and give pink sheep a higher chance of spawning there.

    The biome should be bigger in size, as of now they are too small.

    Regarding the ground in the cherry biome, cherry trees secrete a substance that inhibits the growth of other plants. This makes it difficult for plants to grow around cherry trees. So why not replicate that by making it harder for grass, especially tall grass, to grow in the cherry biome?

    Hello Mojang! I want to say that i love cherry blossom biome so much! It has beautiful trees and vibe! I would like to give some ideas to make this handsome biome better. First of all i would like to ask to make white variant of cherry tree with white leaves! 2nd i would really love to see cherries falling from leaves like apples do from oaks! Maybe new food like cherry pie? Or cherry Juice? 💗 3rd. I would love to see new mob on this biome like maybe butterflies? O deer maybe? Hope you'll like my ideas and make something like this in future snapshot! Have a great day.

    I feel like it missing the Unique mob. 

    And it think that it needs a new structure that would be a small river 

    1 block Depp and up to 2 blocks wide could go through the middle of the biome.

    Cherry Grove should be bigger in size
