What to expect from Minecraft’s Mounts of Mayhem update 1.21.11
The Mounts of Mayhem update is centered around the theme of mounts, but it also introduces a variety of exciting new features. Here’s a glimpse of what players can anticipate:
Camel husks
Desert husks have received a mobility upgrade with the introduction of camel husks. These formidable foes, immune to the sun’s rays, can now wield spears and accommodate one or two riders.
Parched
Players will encounter skeletons riding camels, adding a new layer of challenge to the desert landscape. These skeletons are also shielded from the sun, making nighttime and daytime equally perilous.
Spear
The spear emerges as a new weapon, featuring two distinct attacks: jabbing and charging. The charging attack inflicts damage based on the player’s movement speed, paving the way for thrilling jousting tournaments within the game.
Spear Lunge enchantment
This enchantment adds a burst of speed to the jabbing attack, allowing players to deal significant damage without needing to be mounted.
Nautilus
The Nautilus, a new neutral mob, can be ridden underwater without the risk of losing air. Players can tame these creatures using pufferfish.
Zombie nautilus
Similar to camel husks, the zombie nautilus can be found with drowned enemies riding them, equipped with deadly tridents. Players must defeat the rider to tame this aquatic companion.
Zombie horse
These undead horses, ridden by zombies and armed with spears, present a formidable threat at night. However, they can be easily tamed once the zombies are dispatched.
Mount improvements
Horses have received significant enhancements, including the ability to swim in bodies of water, making them a more versatile mode of transportation. Players will no longer need to navigate around water or switch to boats.
Netherite horse armour
In a significant upgrade, players can now craft Netherite horse armor using a smithing template and Netherite ingots, providing a stylish and formidable defense for their steeds.
