In the latest Minecraft Monthly video, the Mojang team has officially revealed that the upcoming Minecraft 1.21 update will officially be called Minecraft Tricky Trials. Find the explanation for why it's named Tricky Trials here.
You can get armadillo scutes in two simple ways in Minecraft. You can wait near an adult armadillo and it will eventually drop a scute. This can take 5-10 minutes, similarly to the time needed for chickens to lay eggs. The faster method of collecting scutes is by using a brush on the armadillo. This will yield one scute, and you can do it over and over again. However, you can only get 4-5 armadillo scutes with an unenchanted brush. Armadillo scutes are used in the crafting recipe for wolf armor and also for repairing damaged wolf armor.
Armadillos are neutral mobs that spawn in the savanna and badlands biome. Their favorite food is spider eyes, which you can use to breed them. You can get spider eyes by killing spiders, witches, and looting desert pyramid chests. Once you have armadillos and two spider eyes, right-click the mobs with the poisonous food item to breed them in Minecraft. They will enter love mode and soon a baby armadillo will spawn.
Polar bears are neutral mobs that spawn in icy Minecraft biomes, like snowy plains, ice spikes, frozen ocean, deep frozen ocean, as well as several more in Bedrock edition only. The lone adult polar bears and cubs are passive, but adults with cubs nearby are hostile. This mob also attacks if you attack it first. Furthermore, it is not possible to feed polar bears. Therefore, they cannot be tamed nor bred and cub's growth cannot be accelerated. Unfortunately, polar bears are pretty useless, as they only drop fish and XP.
Cows are one of the most useful Minecraft mobs. They drop leather, XP and meat, which are all important in the early game. Cows in Minecraft will breed when they eat their favorite food which is wheat. You may grow wheat from wheat seeds you get by punching grass or find it in village farms. Wheat is also used to lure cows and speed up the growth of baby cows. Hold the wheat in your main hand and use it on a cow to feed it.
Minecraft 1.20.5 is not the same as 1.21. It is a minor update that introduces several brand new features to Minecraft. Those include the armadillo, armadillo scutes, wolf armor, new wolf variants, new advancements, new commands, bug fixes and other minor changes. This update is now live and also brings changes to the Minecraft Launcher.
Llamas are interesting neutral mobs you may find in some uncommon Minecraft biomes, such as windswept hills, windswept forest and savanna plateau. Trader llamas spawn with the wandering trader. Llama eats wheat and hay bales. You may lure and breed llamas using hay bales. Tame a llama by repetitively riding it until you see heart particles. Once tamed, you can equip the llama with a carpet and its appearance will change. Also, you can place the chest on it to allow it to carry items.
Llamas are utility mobs that can be used to transport items. The food llamas love to eat in Minecraft are Wheat and Hay Bales. Wheat is a crop you can grow from wheat seeds, which you get by punching grass. Hay bales are crafted from 9 wheat and also generate in villages. Both of them heal llamas, speed up the growth of baby llamas and increase the llama's temper. Hay bales are more expensive and therefore provide higher values. Also, they are necessary for luring and breeding llamas.
Crawling in Minecraft is one of the most essential abilities you have. It allows you to switch your hitbox from vertical to horizontal, so you can easily access one-block-tall spaces. You can crawl in several different ways. One of them is by using a trapdoor. Place it in the height of the head, get close to it and open it. Moreover, while in water, you can trigger the diving animation and easily crawl in tiny spaces. Finally, while elytra is equipped, you may activate it by double-pressing the jump button, which will allow you to crawl.
Minecraft Standard vs Ominous Trial Spawner: What’s the Difference?
Radojka Travar
View quick summary
Regular trial spawner generates naturally in trial chambers in Minecraft 1.21. It can spawn melee, small melee, and ranged mobs, as well as the Breeze. The number of mobs will depend upon the number of players nearby. Once you kill all mobs, the trial spawner will eject some rewards for you and go in cooldown state for 30 minutes. The ominous trial spawner generates only when you approach a regular version with Bad Omen or Trial Omen. It often spawns mobs with enchanted gear, as well as potions and projectiles above you and the mobs.
My goal is to learn more about Minecraft speedrunning and it's mostly because I got inspired by some amazing speedrunners. They are just so impressive with their excellent knowledge and insane skills. The competitive aspect is also very motivating, even though I'm just a beginner. Every little improvement I make is very rewarding and makes me want to be better. I love learning about and trying speedrunning techniques and strats, as they're so fun and exciting. If you feel the same, you can learn how to speedrun by watching useful videos.
Minecraft speedrunning is very popular and today we'll be covering the Java and Bedrock world records in 2024. On Java, player drip120 has beaten Minecraft in 7 minutes and 1 second. He was very fast, lucky and used common strategies amazingly. On Bedrock, lol869 has beaten the game in 6 minutes and 46 seconds. He was also very lucky and perfectly mastered the common techniques. His run was initially rejected, but then got verified a year later. Lol869 is the fastest player to ever beat Minecraft.

Banner patterns are items you can use to apply a complete and unique design to a banner inside a loom in Minecraft. Some banner patterns are rarer than others and they all have different requirements for you to obtain them. Some are crafted by combining a block or an item with a piece of paper. Others are found in the world inside loot blocks and you can even buy one from a villager. To apply banner patterns, add a banner, color dye and a banner pattern in the loom and click on the banner on the right.
The news we've been waiting for a decade is finally here as the Minecraft Movie is done filming. The announcement has been made by Jason Momoa on Instagram, one of the main actors working on the movie. He posted an image of several cast and crew members including himself and Jack Black. The movie was first announced in 2014 in the Notch's tweet and its official release date is on April 4, 2025, 11 years later.
Both Minecraft modes are good in their own way, but there are some reasons that make multiplayer generally better than single player. First, it instantly makes the game progression easier. Furthermore, some in-game items and blocks have a proper use in multiplayer, like a trapped chest. Other players will constantly keep you motivated to finish your projects and you can create a world and a whole community together. Finally, thanks to lots of active available servers out there, you will always have some new things to try with your friends.

Wind burst enchantment is no longer that OP and satisfying as before. In Minecraft 1.20.5 Pre-Release 1, it has been nerfed so you can activate it only by landing on the target from above. The trial chambers have received numerous changes and the ominous trial spawners regularly spawn mobs with enchanted gear and the special potion effects. This pre-release also introduces new advancements to help guide you through the Minecraft 1.21 update.
Minecraft Is Hard to Beat Without Guides, but Do You Really Need To?

Minecraft is a sandbox game, with an official ending that occurs when the player kills the Ender Dragon. However, there are no in-game quests that lead you to this conclusion. Moreover, while the in-game advancements are very helpful, they still lack important details that new players need to beat the game. The lore elements are not obviously connected either. Despite these elements, beating Minecraft without research or guides is possible. However, depending on how motivated you are, it might take a little or a long time. But, beating the game is nowhere near important as just enjoying the experience.
Best mace enchantments in Minecraft 1.21 are mending, unbreaking, wind burst, density and breach. Mending allows you to repair the mace with XP. Unbreaking reduces the chance of the mace losing durability. Wind burst launches you in the air upon hitting an entity. Density increases the damage mace gets by falling. Finally, breach allows the mace to ignore a certain armor value percentage of the attacked mob or player.
Ominous bottle is an item you can get in three ways in Minecraft 1.21. First, it's a drop from pillager raid captains who spawn in a pillager patrol or around the pillager outpost. Moreover, you can open the vault using the trial key and there is an 18.6% chance you'll get an ominous bottle. You can also open an ominous vault, which has a 13.4% chance of ejecting the ominous bottle. These items apply the Bad Omen effect which can trigger raids and ominous trials.

Hardcore mode has finally made it into the Minecraft Bedrock edition with the latest 1.21.0.20 Preview. You can test it out by clicking on the Play Preview button. Then, navigate to the Create New World section where you can see the hardcore toggle in the general settings right below the difficulty options. Enable it and create new world. Your hearts will look a little different and you won't be able to turn off the hardcore mode anymore. If you eventually die, you'll respawn in the spectator mode, so you cannot change your world anymore.
Ominous trial key is an item used to open an ominous vault, which yields far more valuable loot than the regular vault. To get this key, you need to get the ominous bottle by killing a pillager captain or from opening a standard vault. Then, drink it to get the Bad Omen effect. Now, get close to a trial spawner and it will turn into an ominous trial spawner. Defeat all the mobs and there is a 30% chance you'll get the ominous trial key in Minecraft 1.21.
Ominous vault is similar to a standard vault, as it is a loot block you have to unlock in Minecraft 1.21. To do so, you'll need an ominous trial key. So, you'll first have to get an ominous bottle, drink it and get close to a trial spawner. It will turn into an ominous trial spawner that will be more challenging. When you defeat all of its mobs, it may yield an ominous trial key. Use this key on an ominous vault to open it. Some of its loot include heavy core, enchanted golden apple, flow armor trim and more.
Minecraft has been around for a long time and it's still going strong. The main reason I believe why Minecraft is still so popular in 2024 is because it receives consistent updates that improve it. Furthermore, there is a little bit of everything for everyone. Thanks to the world seeds, Minecraft is infinitely replayable. Building greatly encourages creativity and children can learn a lot from playing Minecraft. The community-made resources have also shaped Minecraft into what it is today and the competitiveness is what keeps many players interested in playing.
Poisonous potato is pretty useless in Minecraft, so this April Fools 2024 Minecraft update wants to change that. It adds a whole new poisonous potato dimension that is mostly made up of various potato-related blocks. You can access it through the potato portal and there you'll find mobs that all look like poisonous potatoes. In one of the potato biomes you may even come across a poisonous potato slime boss and fight it with a poisonous potato hammer. There are even potato armor, elytra, utility blocks, grappling gun and so many more potato items.
The rarest mobs in Minecraft include special mob variants you can get usually by pure chance or by spending a lot of time trying to produce them by breeding. The rarest mobs on our list are pink sheep, brown mooshroom, skeleton horse, brown panda, blue axolotl, mobs wearing carved pumpkins or jack o'lanterns who spawn on October 31 only and the rarest mob of them all which is a baby zombie chicken jockey with full diamond armor.
In the early game, you're much more likely to mine for iron than to make an iron farm. Iron ores are pretty common in Minecraft, but the best levels to find them are Y levels = 16 and 232. If you're going for the Y level = 16, you can either explore caves or branch mine in Minecraft. Caving is faster but dangerous. Whereas branch mining is safe, but it might take some time before finding iron. If you're lucky, you may find huge iron veins. They generate in the deepslate layers and consist of lots of tuff blocks and deepslate iron ores.
If you think trial chambers are easy, you should try the ominous trials in Minecraft 1.21. They provide harder combat battles. If you get close to a trial spawner with the Bad Omen effect, the spawner will turn blue and will become an ominous trial spawner. The mobs it spawns will often have equipment and it can even summon projectiles and potion clouds above the player. Once you complete the ominous trial spawner's challenge, you may get an ominous trial key. It can open an ominous vault that yields rare loot.

Minecraft snapshot 24w13a changes how Bad Omen works. You can now only get it by drinking ominous bottles, which are dropped by raid captains. You may then start a raid or get close to a trial spawner, which will turn into an ominous trial spawner. It will spawn mobs with gear and projectiles and potions. Defeating this spawner may yield ominous trial key, which can open an ominous vault. It gives you rarer and better rewards. The mace has three new enchantments: density, breach and wind burst.
Have you ever seen fireworks display in Minecraft that doesn't even use firework rockets? Well, the design made by a Reddit user towsti functions without fireworks. Instead, it uses beacon beams and different colored stained glass to create the magical colors and a cute animation. Not only that, but there are many more smart redstone systems that make up this machine, like 0-tick delays, usage of copper bulbs, leaves changing state and more.
Heavy core is an item you can obtain only in the new trial chambers in Minecraft 1.21. For that, you first need to get the ominous trial key by completing ominous trial spawners' challenges. You should then find the ominous vault block and use the key on it. Heavy core is one of the possible rewards from the ominous vault and there is a 7.5% chance of it being ejected. Once you get it, combine it with the breeze rod in the crafting grid to make a mace.
There is a lot of examples of crazy terrain and structure generation in Minecraft, but this weird village might just be one of the funniest. Normally, villages consist of various features like houses, villagers, iron golem, paths, farms, animal pens and more. Though this seed has only a small road that leads nowhere. There are no houses nor villagers in the vicinity. The world seed is 14880744008722756659 and you can only find it on the Minecraft Xbox 360 edition. The discovery was made by a Redditor named RaspyAtol20734.
Breeze rods are brand-new Minecraft 1.21 items that can only be obtained when killing Breeze mobs inside trial chambers. It drops 1-2 breeze rods by default, but the looting enchantment only increases this number. This item is used in several different crafting recipes. Those include the flow armor trim, wind charges and the mace weapon.
Gold ores generate from Y level -64 to 32 in most Minecraft biomes. The Y level you'll find most gold ores in Minecraft is -16. These ores will mostly generate completely surrounded by solid blocks. You should bring armor, weapon, shield, food, torches, water bucket, bed, perhaps even a crafting table and a chest when looking for the gold. It's better to go branch mining at Y level -16 outside of badlands biomes. But in the badlands biome, you should explore caves, as gold ores generate regardless of air exposure.
Minecraft snapshot 24w11a introduces a mace, new melee weapon that deals damage equal to a diamond sword. But, it's also affected by the height you fell from, so the longer you fall the stronger the mace is. It creates an AOE and negates all fall damage if you hit the target. You can craft it with the Breeze rod and a heavy core. New armor trims, pottery sherds and banner patterns were also added and they are related to the Breeze, chiseled tuff textures, trial chambers and the mace.
Striders spawn in every Nether biome usually on top of large lava seas. To ride a strider in Minecraft, you'll need a saddle and a warped fungus on a stick. Get close to a strider, use a saddle on it to equip it, interact with it to get on top and select the warped fungus on a stick. The strider will move in the direction you're pointing the stick at. To make it move faster use right-click. This is quite a fast method of transport in the Nether and with fire resistance potions also pretty safe.
Building is a big part of Minecraft and the surrounding terrain actually affects which direction you'll take when making building decisions. That's why in this Minecraft guide, we bring you some of the best seeds for building houses and cities. They include different biomes, flat and mountainous terrain, large landmasses, islands, warm and cold climates and more. So, if you're looking for a new amazing seed for your build, you'll definitely find the one you love here.
This Minecraft Player Beat the Warden with No Armor, Weapons, or Totems in Hardcore Mode

Minecraft player TacticalSlyme has recently posted a video of them killing the Warden in the hardcore mode. How is this possible? Well, they had speed and strength buffs applied, as well as resistance and absorption. They also applied slowness and weakness debuffs to the Warden and constantly replenished health with healing potions. After about a minute of dealing critical damage to the Warden, it is finally defeated.
You can craft a lodestone with one netherite ingot, 8 chiseled stone bricks and a crafting table. Place the netherite ingot in the central slot of the grid and surround it with chiseled stone bricks. It's also possible to find it inside the bridge bastion chests in the Nether dimension. By using a compass on a lodestone, the lodestone's location will be assigned to a compass, so it'll always point towards it. This is very useful in case you settled far away from spawn, but is it really worth one netherite ingot? It's up to you to decide.
Minecraft Armored Paws update added 8 new wolf variants, which include the pale, woods, ashen, black, chestnut, rusty, spotted, striped and snowy wolves. They spawn in different biomes and in different pack sizes. You can tame a wolf by using bones. To breed two dogs, you can use any type of meat on them and the baby will look like one of the parents if they are of different variants. You may equip wolf armor by using it on a tamed wolf.
