Summary
Mojang has finally revealed the official name forMinecraft’s Update 1.21: Tricky Trials. Slated to arrive in June 2024, Tricky Trials will be bringing a lot of new features toMinecraft, including a new weapon, trials, crafting objects, and more.
Players andmodders are loving the newestMinecraftupdate, Update 1.205, which only released a few days ago. Titled Armored Paws, that update introduced an armadillo critter, eight new wolf skin designs, and the ability to craft wolf armor from armadillo scutes. Still not one to rest on its laurels, Mojang is already plowing ahead with information on the next update.
The big name reveal for the next update came as part of an officialMinecraftMonthly video released on April 26, where it was unveiled by VanillaMinecraftgame director Agnes Larrson (at the video’s 5:13 mark), although host and Mojang chief content officer Vu Bui offered several comedic near-reveals leading up to the official announcement. According to Larrson, the “Trials” part of the name references the adventures that players will be experiencing through the different types of challenges coming to the game in June, such asMinecraft’s new Ominous Trials. Meanwhile, the “Tricky” portion of the name comes in two parts, addressing the challengingly fun aspects of the new game features and the new objects that will allow players to tinker around in different ways. “‘Tricky’ really feels like this quirkyMinecraftpersonality, and that is something we like a lot, of course,” she explained.
Everything Coming In Minecraft Tricks and Trials
While Mojang is typically no slouch when it comes to releasing new content, the Tricks and Trials update will bring a wide variety of new content tothe game.Minecraft’s Ominous Trialsare already available to try out in multiple ways (Bedrock Beta, Preview, and Java Snapshot) but will be making their way into the game officially with Tricks and Trials. These challenging fights occur in Trial Chambers and, although players will have to face some very tough mobs there, they will also be rewarded with potions for completing the trials.
Another highly anticipated feature is theoverpowered Mace weapon coming toMinecraft. TheMinecraftMonthly shared more information on this item as well, stating that its damage output will be proportional to the height from which players jump from onto enemies while wielding it. However, there is a catch, because if players miss their target while attacking, they will suffer the normal amount of damage that a fall from that height would usually dish out.
