EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES
BREEZE
TRIAL SPAWNER
- Trial Spawner is a new variant of 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 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 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 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
TRIAL CHAMBERS
- Trial Chambers are a new structure in the 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 different rooms, and give you blocks and items which help you navigate your trials
- Reward chests are guarded by challenges in each room, and can be a source of enchanted books and equipment
- The loot found in reward chests are still being iterated, and are absolutely not final
- Each Trial Chamber will include Trial Spawners with a melee, small melee, or ranged category:
- Melee
- Small Melee
- Spider
- Cave Spider
- Baby Zombie
- Silverfish
- Ranged
- 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
TRIAL KEY
- An item that can only be obtained from Trial Spawners
- Trial Keys do not currently have any functionality
ARMADILLO
- Added the Armadillo
- The Armadillo is a neutral mob
- Drops Armadillo Scutes periodically
- Drops Armadillo Scutes when brushed
- Spawns in Savannas
- Favorite food is Spider Eyes
- When an Armadillo detects a threat, it rolls up
ARMADILLO SCUTES
- Can be used to craft Wolf Armor
- Dropped by Armadillos
- Dispensers can be used to brush Armadillo Scutes off Armadillos
WOLF ARMOR
- Using Wolf Armor on an adult tamed Wolf will equip the armor on the Wolf
- Only a Wolf's owner can put Wolf Armor on their tamed Wolf, and with this in mind, Dispensers cannot put Wolf Armor on Wolves
- Using Shears on a Wolf that is wearing armor will make it drop the armor
- Only a Wolf's owner can shear a Wolf Armor from it, and with this in mind, Dispensers cannot remove Wolf Armor from Wolves
- Wolf Armor gives the same protection as Diamond Horse Armor
- If a Wolf dies while wearing armor, it will drop the armor
