The update is finally out, and there are so many things that you can try, with a lot of focus on exploration and combat.

Coming to the new content, the Breeze and the mace are some of the fan-favorite features. The Breeze is a new hostile mob that can be found in the trial chambers. You will have to fight this mob and it could be challenging as it can move very fast and deflect all projectile attacks.

The mace is the most powerful weapon in the game and you can increase its attack power by using it from a height. Time the attack properly by jumping from a height; you will also cancel the fall damage and deliver a powerful blow.

The update also brings 20 new paintings to the game and improves the Nether portal. The Nether portal will allow minecarts to travel seamlessly, making Nether transport much better.
