Minecraft Snapshot 25W45A has arrived with a bunch of surprises. While the horse has got a protection upgrade, the brand new mob of the Mounts of Mayhem update, Nautilus, has received a new variant.

New Horse Armor and Zombie Nautilus Variant Arrive in Minecraft Snapshot 25W45A
The community has been hoping for a stronger horse armor for years, and it’s finally here with the latest Minecraft Snapshot 25W45A. You can now equip your horse with the classy dark netherite armor.
To craft it, all you need is a smithing table, a diamond horse armor, a smithing upgrade template, and a netherite ingot. Open the smithing table UI, place the smithing upgrade template in the first cell, the diamond horse armor in the middle, and the netherite ingot in the third cell to get your upgraded netherite horse armor.

With the latest Minecraft snapshot, a rare variant of the Nautiluses is going to roam around the warm ocean biomes in the game. These are the coral variants of the Zombie Nautilus, so naturally, players should be on the lookout for these creatures. They will never spawn alone; instead, a Drowned will always be riding atop them, and sometimes they might even hold a trident. So, yeah, with a hostile mob on top, the coral Zombie Nautilus is also hostile towards the player.
Apart from these two cool features, the Minecraft Snapshot 25W45A makes defeating Camel Husks a bit more rewarding. Slaining these creatures will drop 2-3 rotten flesh and an additional 0-1 per Looting level of your weapon. The new weapon, Spear, is now adjusted to be less forgiving when you miss a charged attack. So, precision has become an important skill while using this weapon.
Lastly, the panorama at the Menu screen of Minecraft has been changed for the Mounts of Mayhem update. And, a new ‘Mob Kabob‘ advancement has been added for skewering enemies with the spear. And that’s all about the features in the Minecraft Snapshot 25W45A. So, what are your thoughts on these changes? Have you played them by downloading the latest snapshot in Minecraft Launcher yet?
