Minecraft leak hints at first 2025 update releasing in spring

According to the data mined by @SmokeyStack_ from the files in the latest Minecraft 1.21.60.25 preview, the next major update for 2025 is set to arrive in spring. The OP, who is a Minecraft add-on creator and partner, found a string of text in the files which stated the following:

"Experimental behavior pack for Spring Drop 2025 content" "

Apart from this, the data also hinted at the name of the upcoming update:

"name": Spring Drop 2025

These mined text strings could suggest that players can expect a Spring Drop as the next major update in the game. This aligns with Mojang's new policy to replace annual updates with game drops, allowing them to push out new content with speed and consistency. The Minecraft leak could also hint at additional features and items that could be added as part of the drop.

The latest Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.60.25 beta and preview introduced a host of major features such as falling leaves, pig variants, and changes to the lodestone recipe, among other major balancing and updates to existing gameplay mechanics. If this Minecraft leak is anything to go by, players might have to wait till spring this year to officially experience these things in-game.

Mojang has made no official announcement regarding the release date for the upcoming game drop. Hence, players will have to wait for a teaser or hint, as the developers are known to tease major updates and features through cryptic posts and related images.
