Minecraft: Mounts of Mayhem update key features
The new game drop brings in some major changes and add-ons to the game, which will enhance the overall gameplay experience and bring in some fresh material for the players to experience. Here are the following major features that have been revealed so far and are coming to the game:1. Spear (melee weapon) It is a new close-range weapon that will be introduced in the Mounts of Mayhem update. The weapon is not throwable.
- Recipe: Two sticks + one ingot of either copper, iron, gold, diamond, or netherite.
- Using a higher-tier ingot (e.g., netherite) yields greater durability and damage.
2. Nautilus mob (aquatic mount)A new aquatic creature found in ocean biomes. It can be tamed using a specific food item (pufferfish). Once tamed and mounted, the Nautilus grants a “Breath of the Nautilus” effect, which will slow down the depletion of the player’s air while underwater.3. Nautilus armorIt is a new type of armor that can be crafted or found for the Nautilus mob. Enhances protection and perhaps other stats (like speed or durability) when used with the Nautilus.
- Types: Copper, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite tiers.
- Craftable: These armor pieces are found in chests rather than crafted via a regular recipe.
4. Zombie Nautilus It is the zombie of the Nautilus. When unmounted, it remains passive. But if a drowned zombie mounts it, the combined creature becomes hostile and will attack players. These new zombie creatures will add danger in the water, especially when players are at depth or in darker areas where we usually find drowned zombies.5. Zombie Horse Previously only summonable via game commands or spawn eggs, the zombie horse will now spawn naturally at night under certain new conditions. In addition, a zombie riding a spear may also be mounted on it, forming a more dangerous entity during nighttime.These were all the major add-ons that will be coming to Minecraft in Mounts of Mayhem game drop.
