A breeze is a hostile mob spawned by certain trial spawners found in trial chambers. It moves via jumping large distances when attacking, attacks by firing wind charges, and deflects all projectiles that hit it except wind charges. Breezes are the only source of breeze rods, which are dropped upon death.

Spawning

Breezes spawn from trial spawners that generate surrounded by chiseled tuff in trial chambers. These trial spawners only generate in combat chambers, and never in the corridors. Only one breeze spawner can generate in each combat chamber.

Breezes can spawn only in places with line of sight to the trial spawner that spawns them.

Behavior

A breeze leaps around between firing wind charges at its target. Before jumping, it compresses itself like a spring and can jump up to 15 blocks horizontally and 5 blocks vertically. If the breeze is in lava, it can jump only one block into the air. Breezes are immune to all fall damage.

Breezes automatically deflect all projectiles that hit them except wind charges. Unlike shields, deflected projectiles maintain the same velocity, and can potentially harm the attacker or other entities. Breezes are unable to deflect the blast radius of splash potions or firework rockets, which affect them like any other mob if they are in range of the blast.

Breezes are partially unaffected by the Invisibility effect. The eyebrows and surrounding wind remain visible.‌

Breezes do not retaliate if attacked by mobs that can spawn from trial spawners (zombies, husks, skeletons, bogged, strays, spiders, cave spiders, and slimes). These mobs also do not retaliate if hit by a breeze's wind charge.

Breezes actively pursue and attack iron golems.

Breezes can rotate themselves while in a boat. They are the only mobs that can do this.

Wind charge

Breezes shoot a wind charge at a player or enemy within a distance of 16 blocks. When a breeze's wind charge attack directly hits an entity, the entity takes damage, and a burst of wind appears. If a wind charge hits a block, only a burst of wind appears. This wind burst deals knockback but does not deal any damage by itself; instead, it often deals damage by making the entity fall a high distance. The wind burst can also interact with blocks, toggling block states of non-iron doors and trapdoors, buttons, levers, and fence gates, as well as extinguishing lit candles. Such block interactions are potential threats in trial chambers, but can be controlled by the mobGriefing game rule. Bells can also be rung if hit by the wind burst, which is not affected by the mobGriefing game rule.

Wind charges can be deflected if hit with another projectile or a melee attack, similar to ghast fireballs.

Sounds

Java Edition:
Breezes use the Hostile Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

Trivia

• Regarding a change made to prevent breezes from drowning while swimming, a changelog for a Bedrock Edition Preview said that breezes breathe through their eyes rather than their "feet".^[7] This is referring to how eye height defines drowning height for most mobs.
• During the design process to determine how the breeze would look, the developers reportedly sat in a room for half a day sketching and throwing out designs.^[8] One of the designs they came up with was a "strider with really long legs wearing cowboy pants".^[9]
• While Tom Olovsson was designing the breeze's sounds he tried using granular synthesis to create the whoosh sounds, but mis-clicked while trying to load in a specific file and loaded in a bunch of different "whoosh" sounds instead, and he felt this was actually the right sound for the breeze.^[10]
• The breeze's behavior appears to be reminiscent of that of real-life octopi especial since both use some form of jet proportion.

Issues

Issues relating to "Breeze" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.
