Podgląd klienta Snapshot dla nadchodzących funkcji Minecraft i dynamika Vaultów

The highly anticipated new update for Minecraft has not yet been released, but players can already start exploring the Test Chambers in the client snapshot, which Mojang uses to showcase upcoming features and content. One of the exciting additions is the introduction of the Breeze creature, which will debut in the upcoming update. The release date for the 1.21 update is expected later this year, but Mojang is actively introducing new features to the snapshot version for testing and improvement before the official release.

The recently showcased Vault block in the latest video is an innovative combination of the Chest and Spawner features. These Vault blocks, available in the beta version of Minecraft and the snapshot, can be unlocked using Test Keys, which players can acquire in the Test Chambers. A significant feature of these Vaults, distinguishing them from conventional Chests, is the ability for multiple players to loot them, with each player receiving different items. These items, assigned to a specific player’s loot pack, are generated similar to the spawning of hostile creatures in Minecraft. The Vault releases items individually, as demonstrated in the Mojang video, where up to four items could be observed coming out of the Vault blocks.
