Tricky Trials [ 1] is a major update released on June 13, 2024,[ 2] as Java Edition 1.21 and Bedrock Edition 1.21.0 . The update focuses on the trial chambers , which serves as a place for "combat adventures", and miscellaneous features related to "tinkering".[ 3] The update adds new copper and tuff blocks, the crafter , bogged , and 20 paintings , among many other features. In the trial chambers, trial spawners spawn hostile mobs as a challenge, including breezes that jump in the air and shoot wind charges at players. Vaults reward players for completing trials. Ominous bottles can be used to trigger ominous trials for even bigger rewards. Maces are new melee weapons that can each be crafted by combining a heavy core and a breeze rod . The name of the update was revealed in Minecraft Monthly on April 26, 2024.

Mace
A new melee weapon that can be crafted using a heavy core and a breeze rod .

Has an attack speed of 0.6, 40% slower than that of a golden, diamond, or netherite axe .
Attacking after having fallen at least 1.5 blocks performs a smash attack. The more blocks a player has fallen, the greater the damage of the smash attack.
Successfully striking a target with a smash attack negates any damage accumulated from the fall, similar to how a wind charge works, as well as resetting all vertical momentum.
Maces have a unique explosive particle effect when executing a smash attack.
In addition to the normal unique smash attack sound, a different unique sound is played performing a smash attack from a fall of more than 5 blocks.
Other entities near a smash-attacked target receive knockback, with a stronger effect when having fallen more than 5 blocks before attacking.
Smash attacks activates the Wind Burst enchantment.
Can be repaired with breeze rods using an anvil .
Has three exclusive enchantments:
Density : Increases the damage of the smash attack per block fallen before the smash attack is performed.
Breach : Reduces the effectiveness of armor protecting from damage dealt by the mace.
Wind Burst : Creates a small wind burst when the smash attack is performed, similar to the one generated by a wind charge .
