The latest Minecraft Snapshot 25W09A is here, and it brings a long-awaited feature to Java Edition—fallen trees! If you’ve played Bedrock Edition, you’re probably already familiar with this, but now Java players can enjoy it too.
Along with fallen logs, this snapshot also tweaks Firefly bushes, leaf litter blocks, and includes some technical improvements. Let’s break down everything new in Snapshot 25W09A!

Fallen Trees Now in Java Edition!
With this update, fallen trees now generate naturally in Java Edition, just like in Bedrock. These fallen logs can be found in four different wood types:
Birch (comes in short and long versions)
Oak
Jungle
Spruce
For extra detail, mushrooms and vines can naturally grow on them, making forests feel even more immersive!
Where Can You Find Fallen Trees?
To spot fallen trees, explore these biomes:
✔ Meadow
✔ Bamboo Jungle
✔ River
✔ Grove
✔ Flower Forest (but only Birch trees spawn here—no Oaks!)
Firefly Bush & Leaf Litter Tweaks
Firefly Bush Spawning Adjustments
Previously, Firefly bushes generated in Badlands biomes, but not anymore! Now, they’ll spawn more frequently in the banks of Mangrove Swamps, making them blend better with the game’s ecosystem.
Leaf Litter Improvements
- Leaf litter blocks can now be replaced with other blocks, making them easier to build around!
- Bug fixes for SNBT texts, improving how syntax functions in custom commands.
That’s everything new in Minecraft Snapshot 25W09A!
✔ Fallen trees arrive in Java Edition
✔ Firefly bushes spawn in better locations
✔ Leaf litter blocks are more flexible for building
