The Minecraft 1.21 update, known as the “Tricky Trials” update, introduces a host of new features, mobs, and gameplay mechanics:
Trial Chambers: These are new underground, procedurally generated structures that offer a mix of exploration and combat challenges. They feature Trial Spawners that spawn waves of mobs and drop loot once the challenge is completed. Ominous variants of these spawners can summon even tougher enemies and provide better rewards, like unique armor trims and the heavy core item.
New Mobs: Two notable hostile mobs have been added:
- Breeze: A wind-themed enemy that attacks with wind projectiles, knocking players back.
- Bogged: A skeleton variant found in swamps and Trial Chambers, which shoots poison-tipped arrows.
New Items and Blocks:
- The Mace: A powerful new weapon that deals extra damage based on how far you fall before striking an enemy.
- Crafter Block: This block allows for automatic crafting, a highly requested feature.
- Copper Bulbs: A new customizable light source that oxidizes over time, similar to copper blocks.
- Wind Charges: Dropped by Breezes, these consumables allow players to perform powerful wind-based attacks or enhance their mobility.
Decorative and Utility Additions:
- Tuff Block Set: Tuff blocks now have a complete decorative set, adding new building options.
- New Music and Art: The update includes new music tracks and paintings to further enrich the game’s atmosphere.
These additions bring a mix of new combat challenges, automation possibilities, and aesthetic options, making the 1.21 update one of the more significant ones in recent memory (Beebom) (pcgamer) (Windows Central).
