Minecraft's Mounts Of Mayhem Update Will Mix Up Combat

"Sometimes nights in Minecraft are overwhelming, feeling like you're battling an unstoppable army of hostile mobs. Minecraft's next update, which drops in Holiday 2025, will offer up a new weapon, new mount, and new enemy configurations to mix up your battles. The new weapon is the spear. Mojang says that this item is suited for both hand-to-hand and mounted combat, and that the damage scales with your speed, giving you all the excuse you need to charge into battle."

"The new underwater mount, the nautilus. That will pair great with the new underwater mount, the nautilus, which you can tame using pufferfish. In addition to making travel faster, this mount will preserve your existing air supply, making those enchanted helmets a little bit less necessary. You'll also be able to find nautilus armor in chests, with copper, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite variants."

"A spear-wielding zombie atop a zombie horse. With your new weapon and mount, you'll be fighting some new mobs. The zombie nautilus is a neutral mob, but the drowned mobs that ride them will be carrying tridents and a grudge against you. On land, meanwhile, you'll be able to find zombie horses. Like the zombie nautilus, these horses won't attack you on their own, but they'll be ridden by spear-wielding zombies."

Mounts of Mayhem arriving Holiday 2025 adds a spear weapon, a tamable nautilus mount, and new mounted enemy configurations. The spear is effective in both hand-to-hand and mounted combat, with damage that scales based on player speed to reward charges. The nautilus is an underwater mount tamed using pufferfish; it increases travel speed and preserves the rider's air supply. Nautilus armor can be found in chests in copper, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite variants. New enemies include neutral zombie nautiluses ridden by drowned with tridents and zombie horses ridden by spear-wielding zombies. Additional announcements include the Copper Age update next week, an educational Friendly Fishing add-on, and a Dragon Ball Z collaboration.
