Mojang Studios has something exciting in store for Minecraft players. After the recent release of The Copper Age, they’re gearing up for the next update called “Mounts of Mayhem.” This new addition takes players into the depths of the ocean with fresh gameplay features.
What’s New in Mounts of Mayhem?
One of the most interesting changes is the introduction of a new creature: the Nautilus. This intriguing sea creature can be tamed with Pufferfish, making it perfect for exploring dark ocean depths. What’s particularly useful is that riding the Nautilus pauses your oxygen bar. This means you won’t need to worry about surfacing for air while you explore underwater.
Moreover, players can craft Nautilus Armor using resources like iron, gold, and even Netherite. This adds a layer of protection while navigating those treacherous waters. Plus, if you manage to tame both a male and female Nautilus, you can breed adorable baby Nautiluses!
However, it’s not all smooth sailing. Players will need to be cautious, as water zombies can ride on Zombie Nautiluses and attack with tridents, creating new challenges in the underwater world.
Another exciting feature includes a new weapon — the spear. This weapon makes it easier to strike from a distance and can even be used for jousting while on horseback. However, players must be wary of zombies also riding horses under the cover of night.
Looking Ahead
While Mounts of Mayhem currently lacks a specific release date, it’s expected to debut during the Holiday season in 2025. Players won’t need to wait long after The Copper Age update goes live on September 30.
Minecraft’s Recent Success
Minecraft has enjoyed an incredible year, highlighted by the success of “A Minecraft Movie.” It garnered notable box office numbers, nearly hitting a billion dollars worldwide, making it the second-highest-grossing video game adaptation ever, just behind “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.” A sequel is in the works, though details remain sparse.
As for the game itself, Minecraft continues to thrive with a staggering 350 million copies sold globally. It’s available on multiple platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, ensuring accessibility for gamers everywhere.
In conclusion, with new updates like Mounts of Mayhem and the ongoing excitement around Minecraft, it’s clear that players have plenty to look forward to in the coming years. For more details, you can check out Minecraft News for the latest updates directly from the source.
