Additions

Mobs

Minecraft:Breeze

• The Breeze is a cunning, hostile mob that can spawn via Trial Spawner in some rooms within the Trial Chambers
• The Breeze moves primarily by leaping around the target, sometimes jumping quite long distances
• An aggressive adversary, the Breeze shoots volatile wind energy in the form of wind charge projectiles at its target
• Wind charges deal a small amount of damage when colliding directly with an entity
• After colliding with an entity or a block, wind charge projectiles produce a wind burst, which knocks back entities in the area by several blocks
• Wind bursts also have the effect of 'activating' certain blocks:
  • Non-Iron Minecraft:Doors and Minecraft:Trapdoors are flipped
  • Minecraft:Fence Gates are flipped
  • Minecraft:Buttons are pressed
  • Minecraft:Levers are flipped
  • Minecraft:Bells are rung and swung
  • Lit Minecraft:Candles (both standalone and on cake) are extinguished
• Wind bursts do not have any effect on Iron Doors, Iron Trapdoors, or any block being held in its position by a Redstone signal

Blocks

Minecraft:Trial Spawner

• Trial Spawner is a new variant of Minecraft:Monster Spawners that ejects rewards upon completion and can have variable levels of challenge in multiplayer
• The challenge level will increase for each new player a Trial Spawner notices nearby
  • Challenge level will not decrease until it is reset during a Trial Spawner's cooldown
• Unlike normal spawners, a Trial Spawner will spawn a limited number of mobs proportional to its current challenge level
  • It can only spawn a mob at positions that are within line of sight
  • It can spawn a mob regardless of any light level requirement the mob has
  • Spawned Minecraft:mobs are persistent
• Once all mobs are defeated, the Trial Spawner will eject a set of rewards proportional to the current challenge level
  • After the rewards have been ejected, the Trial Spawner goes into cooldown for 30 minutes during which it will no longer spawn mobs
• Trial Spawners cannot be crafted nor obtained by players in Minecraft:Survival - instead, they can be found naturally placed throughout Trial Chambers
• Trial Spawners are extremely slow to mine and resistant to explosions, and will not drop even with Minecraft:Silk Touch
• When placed in Creative, Trial Spawners have no mob type set by default
• The mob type can be set by interacting with it while holding a Spawn Egg
• Creative and Spectator players cannot be detected or noticed by Trial Spawners

Structures

Minecraft:Trial Chambers

• Trial Chambers are a new structure in the Minecraft:Overworld where players can explore and take on combat challenges during the mid-game
  • Trial Chambers are made out of a variety of Copper and Tuff blocks and can be found in different sizes from large to small
  • Trial Chambers are a relatively common find throughout the Deepslate layer of the underground
• The layout of each Trial Chamber is procedurally generated, and can include traps, reward chests and a variety of combat spaces
  • Supply chests can be found between the different rooms, and give the player blocks and items which help them navigate their trials
  • Reward Minecraft:chests are guarded by challenges in each room, and can be a source of enchanted books and equipment
• Each Trial Chamber will include Trial Spawners with a melee, small melee, or ranged category:
  • Melee
    • Minecraft:Zombie
    • Minecraft:Husk
    • Minecraft:Slime
  • Small Melee
    • Minecraft:Spider
    • Minecraft:Cave Spider
    • Minecraft:Baby Zombie
    • Minecraft:Silverfish
  • Ranged
    • Minecraft:Skeleton
    • Minecraft:Stray
• Each Trial Spawner category will only use one mob for the entire structure when generated, and these mobs are randomized for each Trial Chamber
  • For example, one Trial Chamber might only spawn Zombies, Cave Spiders and Strays, while another might only spawn Slimes, Silverfish and Skeletons
  • The exceptions to this are some Trial Spawners in unique rooms which always spawn Breezes

Items

Minecraft:Trial Key

• An item that can only be obtained from Trial Spawners
• Trial Keys do not currently have any functionality
