Minecraft 1.21 Update: Tricky Trials

Release Date: June 13, 2024 at 6:26 PM Stockholm time (UTC 17:33)

New Mobs

• Breeze: A wind-centric hostile mob found in the new Trial Chambers. The Breeze can jump high and fire wind projectiles that cause knockback and interact with various blocks. They drop Wind Charges and Breeze Rods upon defeat.
• Bogged: A moss-covered variant of the Skeleton that shoots poisonous arrows. These mobs appear in Swamp and Mangrove biomes, as well as in Trial Chambers. They drop Arrows of Poison when killed.

Trial Chambers

These procedurally generated dungeons are a major feature of the update. Found underground, they are constructed from copper and tuff blocks and illuminated by new Copper Bulbs. The chambers are filled with puzzles, traps, and hostile mobs like the Breeze and Bogged. Players can face Trial Spawners, which spawn waves of enemies for exclusive rewards.

New Items and Blocks

• Crafter Block: A new redstone component that automates crafting, a significant addition for redstone engineers.
• Copper Bulbs: New light sources used in the Trial Chambers.
• Wolf Armor and Variants: New wolf types such as the Striped Wolf and Snowy Wolf, as well as armor for wolves that can be crafted using Armadillo Scutes. The armor protects wolves from damage and can be dyed different colors.

Other Features

• New Tuff Block Variants: Expanded building options with different tuff blocks.
• Combat Adventures: Enhanced combat mechanics and challenges within the Trial Chambers.
