"Minecraft cooks when it's about art and animation": Fans impressed with The Garden Awakens promotional artwork

Minecraft fans are having a great time with all the new updates coming to the game. First, there were the Tricky Trails, then the Bundles of Bravery, and now players have received the long-awaited Winter Drop. This update introduces the Pale Garden biome, the Creaking mob, the eye blossom flower, and the resin block.

However, with all the different exciting items coming to the game, it seems that many fans are impressed by the artwork made for the updates. A Minecraft player and Reddit user named u/YeMommyYo shared an image on the subreddit featuring the official promotional artwork for the recently released update “The Garden Awakens.”

The picture features the Creaking mob looking at the viewers with some eyeblossom flowers and Pale Oak trees. The art style in the image is quite different from the graphics seen in the game.

The caption of the post said that the promotional wallpaper for the latest update is cool. Reacting to this post, user u/UnOriginal04 commented:

Another user named u/SinisterPixel joked that it looks like the Creaking is about to drop a rap album. This is because of how the mob is looking at the viewers, a pose similar to the early 2000s rap album covers.

User u/Rhym asked whether there is a texture pack that mimics the visual style of these promotional artworks, as they enjoy the cell-shaded look.

User u/LadyAlleta pointed out that the new overworld biome is a forest, not a garden, and wished that it had been named more accurately. For those unaware, Mojang Studios has named the new biome “Pale Garden.”

Another user named u/SobiTheRobot replied to the commenter saying that the reason why Mojang Studios chose the name “garden” was to give the biome a more grand and eerie feel. They also noted that the name suggests the trees did not just grow there, but were deliberately placed. Additionally, it points out that a garden has a gardener as well.

In a sense, this new overworld biome is not a forest because it's not natural. Whatever is planted in the Pale Garden is not from the blocky world of Minecraft. The commenter replied that this theory makes sense and helps them to accept the name.

Great artwork for Minecraft updates

Mojang Studios has consistently set a high standard for visual storytelling in gaming with their artwork and promotional material for the updates. Everything has a very characteristic style with smooth texture, realistic lighting, and vibrant colors. Many texture and shader packs have tried to achieve this look.

Not just images, but when trailers for Minecraft updates drop, fans are delighted to look at how beautiful the animation style looks. This is one of the reasons why many players wanted the upcoming A Minecraft Movie to be a fully animated one rather than being live-action.
