With Minecraft snapshot 25w05a, Mojang released two new cow variants: warm and cold. As the terms suggest, these two variants will be spawning in warm and cold biomes.

The warm cow variant has a rust-like color on most of its skin and has much larger horns than the regular cow. Its horns come out of its head from the sides and then point upwards. Here is a list of biomes in which warm cows will spawn in Minecraft:

• Savanna
• Savanna Plateau
• Windswept Savanna
• Jungle
• Sparse Jungle
• Bamboo Jungle
• Eroded Badlands
• Wooded Badlands
• Badlands

The cold cow has different shades of orange on its skin to mimic a furry texture. Its horns come out of the sides as well, but they point forward. This is a major visual difference between warm and cold cow variants. Here is a list of all the biomes in which cold cows will spawn:

• Old Growth Pine Taiga
• Old Growth Spruce Taiga
• Taiga
• Snowy Taiga
• Windswept Hills
• Windswept Gravelly Hills
• Windswept Forest

Temperate or regular cows received a slight texture and model change

Apart from brand new cow variants with completely new textures and models, the original cows have also received some minor visual updates in Minecraft snapshot 25w05a.

Previously, their snout did not protrude out in their 3D model and was flush with their eyes and face. Now, Mojang has made the snout a lot more prominent by making it more protruding.

Another visual change was in the cows' texture change. Though these regular cows will look the same from a distance, the developer has made small changes to their textures. These are most apparent from the back. In older textures, the gradual shift from white to brown was not too apparent, but now it is.

These are the major changes to the regular cows that will spawn in biomes where warm and cold cows are absent.
