Minecraft - 1.21 Update

Minecraft keeps getting bigger

Mojang has released a new Minecraft preview of its upcoming 1.21 update, allowing players to try out the new creature called Breeze and the Trial Spawner. Over time, Minecraft keeps getting bigger and better, with frequent updates and new content from Mojang. One of the most exciting patches is on the horizon, the 1.21 update, which adds a variety of content from new creatures to blocks.

New features at a glance

One of the cutest additions, a stormy hostile creature called Breeze, is now available in the latest playable Minecraft preview, version 1.20.60.20, along with the new Trial Chambers and Trial Spawner.

Breeze, Trial Chambers, and Trial Spawner

The latest preview allows us to battle against the sweet but hostile creature Breeze. This swirling guy has the power of a mighty tornado. However, Breeze is not the only addition in the latest preview and snapshot; we can also test the game's Trial Chambers and the new Trial Spawner.

New Challenges

The Trial Chambers expand the underground experience of Minecraft, functioning as structures filled with traps, Trial Spawners, mobs, and treasures. The Trial Spawners are variants of mob spawners that can only be found in the new Trial Chambers. They drop weighted rewards and spawn mobs in waves, which vary in size depending on the number of players present. With these three new features, we can tackle fresh challenges in Minecraft.

Experimental Features in Detail

For a complete overview of all the changes in the new preview and snapshot, refer to the official website. There, you will find information about Breeze, Trial Chambers, and the Trial Spawner. Mojang emphasizes that this version is a work-in-progress and may be unstable. It is a test version and is "not representative of the quality of the final version".
