Also new to Minecraft Vanilla in 2024 are Trial Chambers, procedurally generated underground structures to host players, and lighting blocks called Copper Bulbs. Additionally, Minecraft is adding a new enemy, Breeze, to the game.

“We are thrilled with our community's response to the new features announced in Minecraft Live. This update offers exciting adventures, combat challenges and customization. We think it will add something interesting to different playstyles! In the long term, we hope to continue developing update 1.21 together with our community, said game director Agnes Larsen.
