Summary
Minecraftwill receive the Tricky Trials update on June 13, Mojang has announced. The upcoming release is set to expandMinecraftwith the addition of new enemies, equipment, decorations, and challenges, among other novelties.
Mojang treated the nextMinecraftupdate to a name revealin late April 2024. That occasion also saw the developer tease some of the content set to debut as part of the patch, including the new Mace weapon. Players will be able to craft the Mace using a heavy core and breeze rod. The former will be found in a new type of location called the Vault, while the latter will be dropped by Breezes, floating hostile mobs that will spawn in Trial Chambers, another novelty introduced in Tricky Trials.
The developer has now attached an official release date to Tricky Trials, revealing that the patch will debut on Thursday, June 13, some six weeks afterMinecraftupdate 1.20.5 rolled out. While Mojang occasionally puts out updates that target a specific version of the game, that’s not the case with this upcoming release, which will simultaneously reach both the Java and Bedrock Editions ofMinecraft.
What’s New in Minecraft Tricky Trials Update
Since Mojang has already released thepatch notes forMinecraft’s Tricky Trials update, there are no real mysteries about what fans can expect from the new build. It has hence been confirmed that the patch will primarily cater to adventurers, not least because it will introduce the aforementioned Trial Chambers, a novel structure type filled with treasures, secrets, and challenges in the form of traps and enemies. The latter group will include two new types of mobs, the Breeze and Bogged. Breezes are purple flying mobs that can attack at range and send the player flying, hence the name. Since they move quickly, attacking them with a ranged weapon may be preferable to trying to rush them.
Meanwhile, the Bogged is a new type of skeleton that won’t be limited to just Trial Chambers but will also sometimes spawn in Overworld swamps. Since its main gimmick is the ability to inflict the poison status effect, players are advised to stock up on milk, honey, or both prior to exploring any locations where the Bogged may appear.
Minecraft’s Tricky Trials update will also introduce new decoration options, including a bunch of new decorative blocks. No fewer than 20 eye-catching paintings are also part of the upcoming package, together with some new banners and armor trims, the latter of which can be looted from Vaults. The Mace weapon that’s part of the upcoming update is touted as being particularly useful for braving Tricky Trials challenges, not least because of its unique enchantments that increase its jump attack damage based on the height of the player’s fall and can even send enemies flying in a Breeze-like fashion.
