Minecraft’s highly anticipated Tricky Trials update arrives as version 1.21 on June 13, 2024.
Revealed on the Minecraft blog, Mojang confirmed all platforms, meaning PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch, mobile, and more, would receive the update simultaneously.
The update’s main addition is the mysterious, massive copper trial chambers which are full of “a slew of new challenges, mobs to do battle with, rewards to claim, and blocks to build with. “Players will find two new mobs, the Breeze and the Bogged alongside loot-filled vaults that can be unlocked with trial keys (and reward every player, not just the one who opens them).
