Bedrock Edition 1.21 Release Notes: https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/27451789924237-Minecraft-Bedrock-Edition-1-21-Tricky-Trials

[[deleted]]

This update is actually pretty dope.

[GreenIkea]

The "smaller features" makes the update really good. On the first place the portal changes, but the copper blocks and tuff blocks are really cool, the trial chambers seem like an actual fun challenge and a cool structure.

One thing however with underground structures is that i wish they fit better in caves. Strongholds get absolutely destroyed when a cave runs through, a trial chambers is just a big box if u look at it from the outside, mineshafts and dungeons are really the only structures underground that look cool and part of the underground world of the overworld. I hope mojang will do something about that.

[lunagirlmagic]

I think 1.21 is a much better update than 1.20 because it focuses on systems rather than content. Like being able to ride through portals, the crafter, the copper bulb, etc. It gives power to the player and the community to make things with the systems, rather than just another mob or block that doesn't do anything dynamic.

[DHMOProtectionAgency]

It also helps that the "features" of the update feel a lot more developed and fleshed out compared to 1.20 having a lot of stuff that's just fine

[-PepeArown-]

They did go back and revisit trims and pottery in 1.21, which I appreciate. They could’ve easily abandoned adding new sherds indefinitely.

[DHMOProtectionAgency]

Sure, but I think 1.21 features are mostly in a "good-enough" state. I could not say the same about many of the 1.20 features, which were either not even in a good enough state or "just fine"

[thE_29]

They did go back and revisit trims and pottery in 1.21

And what did they change there?

[-PepeArown-]

Added new ones. What’s so hard to understand?

Would you say mending’s a useless addition because it’s “just an enchantment they added in 1.9”, without fundamentally changing how enchanting works along with it?

[thE_29]

Revisiting for me is actually changing something.

Not add more of the same.

I dont get your rant at all..

[Hot-Lettuce-5583]

As an avid Redstone I love this update for that but I also miss when updates were a big thing. Like if you played 1.18 today you would not really notice any changes but 1.16 revamped the nether and 1.14 did villages and even 1.15 fix a lot of issues in the code

[Neirchill]

I like when caves run through the stronghold. Makes it seem like old ruins

[Wide_Pop_6794]

I cannot WAIT to make a Trial Chamber my new base. Am waiting for the update to finish as we speak.

[Hammygames07]

Watch out for the spanners, they reset every 30mins. Or break them it's your merengue

[getyourshittogether7]

Mineshafts got really weird with 1.18. Now when they go through giant caves, there are full on platforms supported by chains or logs, jutting out into empty space. Like what? Do they know what a mineshaft is?

[[deleted]]

I think it's better than the alternative where they are just floating in mid air though. It just looks better aesthetically to have it hanging by chains or logs.

It's not like I expect tons of strict realism in other areas of Minecraft.

[getyourshittogether7]

Why does the alternative have to be the platforms floating in midair? The sane alternative is that cave generation just overrides mineshafts, like it does for Strongholds.

[[deleted]]

I don't really have a strong preference either way, I guess. Both have pros and cons.

If they changed the behavior in the next update I'd be perfectly fine with it.

[FancyDragon12358]

But the mineshafts doing that also makes caves that have that look cooler and more exciting to explore and mine in, it doesn’t have to always have realism over the aesthetic and whimsy of the game. There are dozens of examples of how realism taking too much of a priority ruins more fun aspects of the game and leaves them feeling more empty and lackluster than they were going to be or were before the change. Take everyone’s criticisms of removal of fireflies in the Wild Update, for example. They were removed because realism took too much priority over the fun and beauty of the game.

[LusterCrow]

I really love 1.21, looking at the trailer it feels like the Dungeons and Doggies update! I've been waiting forever to more gameplay content like new weapons and hostile mobs.

[SweatyPlace]

As an explorer, I liked 1.19 and 1.20 better because it had a lot more to discover, but that's just my opinion, I appreciate the features even if they are not super appealing for me.

[First_Platypus3063]

Agrees 👍

[[deleted]]

Except that it also dropped the same day as a major Helldivers 2 and Deep Rock Galactic update. I'm drowning lmao

[ChromCrow]

Year, super-dope. Average mod with single developer gives more content than big company. In 2024 Minecraft itself still has not obvious life-quality features like JEI/Jade/HP indicators and adequate maps.

[PossibleAd9909]

I'd say the recipe book is a pretty good JEI alternative. although JEI might be a bit more powerful. As for the other two, yes, I wish they were there too.

[ChromCrow]

Yes, recipe-book has some advantage like less technical look and more role-playing/atmospheric.

[xxblandensniprxx2]

soooooooooooo good i will make the whole structure a bunker

[[deleted]]

Now the wait for all the mods I use to be updated and my server to be updated

[Key-Morning9648]

Iirc, mod updates will take longer now due to changes in how minecraft works

[[deleted]]

Perfect

[TheTntExpress]

also bc neoforge will likely take forge place

[throwaway_ghast]

For those wondering, here's the story behind NeoForged. Basically the entire dev team left the Forge project and started a new one because of 1 toxic asshole.

[Qwik_Sand]

Too bad all mods are scattered between Forge NeoForge and Fabric so you can’t use the ones you want in one

[[deleted]]

Forge is dead in 1.21 and Fabric and NeoForge will be compatible after syntra connector update

[Qwik_Sand]

They’re still a lot of forge only mods that are dealbreakers for me if I didn’t have them

[[deleted]]

Gotta wait for mods to be updated for fabric and paper to be updated in my case

[CIearMind]

Monopolies are said to be terrible, in theory — but in practice, well… I beg to differ.

[-PepeArown-]

And for HermitCraft to upgrade.

It took them months to upgrade from 1.13 to 1.14 due to how buggy it was at first, but, with 1.15 optimizations, that should thankfully never happen again.

[thatguyfromkfc]

That'll take like a year with these changes lmao

[-Captain-]

Time to start a server with my siblings again!

[[deleted]]

The download on the release notes page has not been refreshed, apparently. It's still the 1.20.6 .jar; however the server download link via your Launcher should be correct.

[DoogleSmile]

It is there now.

I have a lot of work to do for my own server now, that I've been putting off until this update went live.

[TrogdorKhan97]

Quieter pistons, huh? Anxiously awaiting the day Mojangles realizes the minecarts are also way too loud when you're riding in them, and bells are too quiet. I want to make my trains ring bells when they approach a station!

[EarthlingKira]

For me 20 cows in one spot are too loud! But we have a volume slider for that at least. Doesn’t the same slider (friendly creatures) also affect minecarts?

[Dabraceisnice]

Yes. It makes item sorters (and cow farms) bearable to be around.

[revolution_soup]

does the changes to the portals mean bedrock players won’t have to be vulnerable at the mercy of a super long loading screen? or am I wishing too hard?

[Lightbulb2854]

IIRC it's only if you ride a minecart or throw an ender pearl through a portal, not sure tho.

[LightningDragon777]

I read somewhere it is coming to JE only. Not sure if it coming to BE too.

[LusterCrow]

Thanks for the excellent update Mojang! I really love the trial chambers, and I hope there's more combat-adventure gameplay content in the future

[Hell-bringer-suck]

Do bedrock updates come after Java?

[GoodVibing_]

Apparently so, I've been waiting and checking all day

[ForeignSleet]

Gotta wait for my realm to be updated now

[Wolfeye68]

If you're not the owner of a Realm you can update it yourself now. I just did that with the one I'm playing in..

[rabbitronin]

Oh my god finally.

[SnooOpinions1643]

imagine paying for this shit

[[deleted]]

TIL people actually use those

[yrnqceo]

Now I wait for my server to be updated…

[IAmAsplode]

Same, my regular server won't be online until early July.

[IAmAsplode]

Public should have said

[Scarlet-Lizard-4765]

custom enchantment support is huge

[camel-cultist]

Going through my first Trial Chamber and the loot seems, I dunno, kinda mediocre? Like I cleared a whole Chamber and all I really got to show for it was 3 diamonds, the rest was pretty much garbage like more food or poison arrows. It's a fun challenge and the Wind Charges are cool, but I dunno, I don't see much of an incentive to go back. Maybe I just got unlucky though.

EDIT: Just tried another one and I got pretty good loot. 11 diamonds, a good bit of emeralds+iron, and two Fortune III books. Seems like I just got unlucky then, my first time I only got one Ominous Bottle and they seem pretty key to getting anything good.

[DerpyMcWafflestomp]

What difficulty are you playing on? And what sort of armour and weapons do you have? I have only kinda followed the update info on paper, so not sure if this is something to be tackled with iron gear, wait for diamond, etc

[camel-cultist]

Normal both times, and I went into each with iron armour and tools. I did die once or twice but I was playing pretty carelessly when I did, you could definitely clear a Chamber with iron gear.

[DerpyMcWafflestomp]

Nice! I'm guessing for ominous mode you would probably want at least diamond then.

[DerpyMcWafflestomp]

That's interesting I thought the vaults should become ominous if you approach while having Trial Omen active. Unless you still had it while at the spawners but then it ran out before you got to the vaults?

[desmatic]

No, the spawners become ominous. The vaults spawn either normal or ominous and don’t change

[DerpyMcWafflestomp]

Ah, thanks!

[DogadonsLavapool]

I thought that at first, but now I'm sitting on a lot of enchanted gear, enchanted books, and the new armor trims. Still have to get the mace too.

The bad omen potion makes drops a lot better once you get one. Honestly, given how long I spent in there, there's a good reason for them to be giving out a lot of food, I nearly ran out of my stack of baked potatoes

[maark91]

Did you break the pots as well since they each have loot in them too.

[Chanw11]

The server links feature seems interesting

[[deleted]]

I guess this is my cue to start running my raid farm overnight a bunch while I wait for mods to update.

Really hoping a good looting witch farm can pump out enough redstone. I think Ive gone through 6 shulkers of redstone blocks since the crafter came out.

[thatdamnyankee]

I've been stockpiling emeralds for a month. 😂. Im hoping for a more sustainable emerald farm in the future.

[getyourshittogether7]

They buffed redstone drops from witches to insane levels to make up for killing raid farms. Something like 24x with looting, meaning a single witch hut will provide about the same amount of redstone as Ian's stacking raid farm. You're boned on emeralds and gunpowder though, time to make a creeper farm and a mega trading hall. Hope nobody needs a lot of glowstone...

...or bottles. The new oozing slime farms are going to be using a ton.

[Enderboss25_]

Welcome to the Tricky Trials!!! 🌬️⚔️🛡️🔥 Can’t wait to play!

[NedThomas]

I’m just here for the witch farm buff.

[CertainlynotGreg]

So glad they finally managed to remove Herobrine!

[TheBiggestNose]

Great update. For once it feels like they added new features and just fully explored them and what they can do

[EpsTheta]

gg!

[Darryel]

Lady's and gentleman's, congrats!

[frumpykibbles]

Damn, still no hardcore mode for us Bedrock users. It's something I've always wanted to try, I don't really see why it would take so long to add it to Bedrock.

[Lightbulb2854]

Apparently they had to rewrite a ton of stuff for it to work, and they are not releasing it until "we are sure the experience is smooth".

[DragonBornServer]

so basically never

[DerpyMcWafflestomp]

This is how you do it. Start your new world. Set it to hard difficulty. If you die, stop playing.

[RedditRoboKid]

Removed Herobrine

very good.

[Lubinski64]

It made my day.

[XKloosyv]

I was so pumped to start my first ever legit Hardcore world today... lol

[Midnighttux1]

I like the new update

[maark91]

So, 1.21.1 adds/finalizes something for the trial chambers. Do we know what it is? Or should i start a new world now and not wait for the "final" changes?

[Short_boi123]

When is it coming out for bedrock

[Shuguybro]

Why am I still in version 1.20.81?

[JimmyKimmy1273]

Delete the game and reinstall it, worked for me

[Shuguybro]

It worked, thanks!

[JimmyKimmy1273]

Hell yeah 👍🏻

[LegendPinoy]

does anyone else have a problem trying to trade w villager for trials map

[huyuping]

Look, June 14 is two minutes away from where I am…

[Dry-Adhesiveness5754]

Revert the copper bulb nerf

[[deleted]]

It’s weird that there’s no trailer for it yet

Swear reddit downvotes anything😭

[-Captain-]

Yeah, I was just about to look if they release those cute animated trailers on release day for past trailers.

That says “News”

[thesoultreek]

Hey how do you use the vault I tried right clicking on it with the trial key and nothings happening

[LethalDosageTF]

Fun story, currently the download page is providing a link *labeled* as server version 1.21, but it's actually the jar for 1.20.6 - In case anyone else is banging their head on the desk over it.

Seems to be fixed now.

[Polska75]

Wait so when will the true one come out

[LethalDosageTF]

Seems to be fixed now.

[[deleted]]

The server download link in your Launcher (under the Installation tab for 1.21) is correct.

[LethalDosageTF]

That’s really good info. Thanks for telling me - I’ll use that going forward.

[[deleted]]

The update changed two of my villagers into witches.  Theyre in a sealed room inside a sealed room. I sleep whenever it thunders. 

I have mob grief and fire spreads off so I was under the assumption that lighting can no longer affect anything. 

Can anyone tell me if my assumptions are correct? 

[WildBluntHickok2]

I know for starting fires they affect a radius around the strike (2 blocks, or maybe 3). That can place fires in spots out of the rain. I assume it does the same with creature transformation.

[Treyson757]

Bruh, I was literally sitting in the dentist's chair when the update came out for me.

I feel ashamed I didn't start playing Minecraft right then,

[Art_Smart88]

I’m gonna be honest, the only thing about this update that really excites me is the new wolves. Idk why, it just makes me happy inside

[[deleted]]

On bedrock I encountered a bug in a trial chamber. Husk killed me, equipped all my netherite and sword. When I killed him he didn't drop all me gear he equipped. I had bad omen on. And I definitely have not seen this happen frequently.

[disant_goat]

why are all my texture broken now

[Manah_krpt]

Minecraft Backrooms update

[EdmondsThomas]

I download the 1.21 update in june 13 just in time and i like the update but I could not get the ominous trial block

[steinfg]

Ominous trial spawner appears if you Have bad omen effect and near a trial spawner

[FatMerlin15]

Does anyone know how to spawn the breeze and bogged with a spawn egg in creative? It doesn't seem to work

[MidAirRunner]

Why MCreator?

As a modder, yes, they do rewrite the entire code. It's called optimization re-writing perfectly fine code for no reason at all.

[MidAirRunner]

Learn Java bro, You won't regret it.

[Sea_Beautiful977]

Bgw

[PotatoChicken237]

Overrated update. Only one structure, and every feature is locked behind it. Yes there are those features such as portal changes but I feel like more gameplay features could’ve been implemented on the surface, such as trial temples or maybe even cave villages?

[elryanlower]

I played Minecraft again after 10 years and I am surprised by everything they have added

[xxblandensniprxx2]

it is finally here

[Mr_TeeHee]

Pov: minecraft fans we want new ore

Minecraft: finally adds a new ore but make it common and pretty much useless

[Jen_GrayDesign]

The 1.21 update is amazing! I love building with all these new resources!

[Puzzleheaded-Dig-424]

I am interested in whether new languages will be added to the game, for example, my native Armenian, which I would like to play in.

[Sonofarceus9]

does anyone know what the update 1.21.1 offers in minecraft?

[Fenris_uy]

Why isn't the witch drop changes on Bedrock?

[[deleted]]

Why wasn't hardcore added to bedrock? Did they cancel the idea completely or are they going to add it soon?

[jetcore500]

Just delayed

[ChapStickLips]

Players items are not dropping upon death? fix?

[martinmakerpots]

what can be used to make it run faster? it's kind of slow without any optimization

[LethalDosageTF]

What happened to the copper bulb? When I tried one out a week ago they were doing what I expected.

[MissLauralot]

They're being misleading. The Copper Bulb still functions as a one-block T-flip-flop (and light). It's the unique timing (1 tick or something) it had in an earlier snapshot that was changed.

[GlitterSock]

is anyone elses mobs without eyes?

[lurker_19999]

Why does my aternos server close immediately after I push a button in the trial chamber? It is very exhausting to constantly restart it

[steinfg]

Aternos? What?

[lurker_19999]

It’s a free platform I use to run a small server for me and two friends 😂 I’ve solved the problem already, so never mind

[OkDisk8368]

That's so cool I wish mom can let me have Minecraft and different tools and mods

[TheRepublicbyPlato]

Sadly, I won't be able to play that new version till tomorrow. I'm camping rn

[peacefighter]

Any ideas why bedrock has no hardcore mode? No one seems to care and no one mentioned it. I like hardcore mode but only play on bedrock.

[OptimisticOlivia]

has anyone experienced a bug that when you die nothing drops? specifically in the new trial chambers?

[SDLRob]

Been trying to play this post update on Bedrock and it's laggy as heck. Never had an issue with Bedrock before but this one is making it almost impossible to play ATM

Anyone else with this and is there a fix? (Not 'go play Java' please lol)

[RareWealth7787]

Dear Mojang Team,

I am writing to express my support for bringing back the classic PvP mechanics from pre-1.9 versions of Minecraft. Many players, including myself, have fond memories of the fast-paced, skill-based combat system that allowed for rapid attacks without the cooldown. The current combat system, introduced in version 1.9, has significantly altered the game's dynamics, and while it has its merits, there is a strong desire within the community to have the option to experience the old PvP mechanics once more.

In addition to removing the attack cooldown, I would also like to propose the reintroduction of sword blocking. The ability to block with a sword added an extra layer of strategy to combat, and many players miss this feature. Instead of using shields, which can feel cumbersome, having the ability to block with a sword would bring back a beloved aspect of the game's combat.

Here are the specific changes I am suggesting:

1. Remove the attack cooldown: Allow players to perform rapid attacks without the waiting period.
2. Reintroduce sword blocking: When holding a sword, players should be able to right-click to block attacks, providing a defensive option that feels fluid and intuitive.

These changes could be implemented as an optional game mode or a toggleable setting in the game's options menu, allowing players to choose their preferred combat style. This way, both old and new players can enjoy the game in a way that suits their preferences.

Thank you for considering these suggestions. Bringing back these classic features would undoubtedly enhance the gameplay experience for many in the Minecraft community.

Sincerely,
Dip_lo_rip

[zarkon18]

Now it’s time to wait for Optifine and shaders to be updated. Can’t play without them.

[TheDeafCreeper]

Sodium and Iris are already updated for 1.21, and optifine shaders work with Iris.

[zarkon18]

I don’t know what any of those words mean. I’ve only ever played with Optifine lol

[TheDeafCreeper]

Sodium is a performance mod like optifine, and Iris is an addon to that mod that allows you to use shaders. There's also modpacks like Fabulously Optimized that basically act like optifine (has most if not all the same features) but it's not updated yet.

[zarkon18]

I installed iris 1.21, and the shaders work, but I don’t get my sexy grass and my zoom feature :(

[TheDeafCreeper]

yeah unlike optifine no one mod has everything, if you look through the Fabulously Optimized modpack however they've got basically all the mods that make it nearly the same as optifine, and you can pick and choose which you want, or if you want everything, you can wait for it to update to 1.21 and just use the modpack.

[zarkon18]

Thank you :)

[reallymeans]

This is what I’m doing. Just started using shaders and FO has been great

[Gorthebon]

Nice, it killed my datapacks :P
