The latest update for Minecraft, version 1.21.100, has been rolled out by Xbox Game Studios and Mojang Studios, bringing a host of new features and enhancements to players across various platforms, including the Nintendo Switch.

Minecraft update version 1.21.100 patch notes
Players can now explore experimental game drop features by enabling the Experimental Features toggle in their world settings. These features are still under development and may lead to unexpected outcomes, such as world crashes or compatibility issues with future updates.
One of the standout new features is the Copper Golem, a charming companion designed to assist players in organizing their bases. Summoned using copper and carved pumpkins, the Copper Golem has the ability to remove items from copper chests and sort them into designated chests around the player’s base.
- The Copper Golem drops between 1 and 3 Copper Ingots upon defeat.
- It assists in sorting items into chests, enhancing organization.
When it comes to item sorting, the Copper Golem exhibits impressive capabilities:
- If not holding an item, it seeks out nearby Copper Chests to pick up items.
- It can interact with any oxidized or waxed Copper Chest variant.
- It can carry a maximum of 16 items in a stack.
- When holding an item, it will search for nearby chests to place the item in.
- The Golem will visit up to 10 chests in sequence to complete its task.
- If no suitable chest is found, it will pause for 7 seconds before trying again.
- The search area extends horizontally for 32 blocks and vertically for 8 blocks.
In addition to the Copper Golem, players can now craft Copper Chests, a new block type that can be summoned with the help of a Copper Golem. These chests can oxidize over time or be preserved with wax, providing a stylish storage solution.
- Copper Chests come in waxed and oxidized variants.
- They can be crafted using a standard Chest and Copper Ingots.
The update also introduces a range of copper tools, weapons, and armor, bridging the gap between stone and iron. These new items, while not subject to oxidation, maintain the aesthetic appeal of copper.
- Copper tools and weapons can be crafted and repaired with copper ingots, offering durability comparable to stone but with improved performance.
- New tools include the Copper Axe, Copper Hoe, Copper Pickaxe, Copper Shovel, and Copper Sword.
Copper armor, while not as durable as iron, provides a stylish alternative with higher enchantability than diamond:
- Copper Helmet
- Copper Chestplate
- Copper Leggings
- Copper Boots
As players delve into the update, they will also notice various enhancements and bug fixes aimed at improving accessibility, gameplay, and overall performance. Notable changes include:
- Screen narrator enumeration added to UI buttons for new server creation.
- Adjusted tree generation in various biomes for a more natural appearance.
- Fixed numerous bugs related to character interactions and environmental elements.
With these updates, Minecraft continues to evolve, offering players new ways to engage with the game and enhancing their creative experiences. As always, Mojang remains committed to refining gameplay and addressing community feedback, ensuring that every update brings something valuable to the table.
