Minecraft 1.21: How to get all new items

Minecraft 1.21, also known as the Tricky Trials update, is bringing plenty of new in-game items for players to collect, use, and craft. Each item has its applications and the new items in the 1.21 update can be found in various locations. While many are found via the new trial chamber structures, a few outliers can be found elsewhere and are also worth noting.

With Minecraft 1.21's June 13, 2024, release date quickly approaching, we look at the new items arriving in the update and how to get them. All of the items will be available in Creative Mode and via commands but can be traditionally found in Survival Mode in case players don't have access to Creative Mode or commands.

This article explains how to get all of Minecraft 1.21's new items.

Obtaining every new item in Minecraft 1.21 can be time-consuming due to their sheer numbers (some are only craftable while others are lootable), but players who know where to look should still find many. Below is a list of each new item in the Tricky Trials update and how they can be obtained, crafted, or looted:

Item	How to Obtain
Breeze Rods	Obtained by killing breeze mobs, which can be found naturally spawning in trial chambers.
Wind Charges	Crafted by placing breeze rods in a crafting grid like that found on a crafting table. They can also be looted from vaults, reward chests, and ominous vaults found in trial chambers.
Mace	Crafted by combining a breeze rod and a heavy core block found from unlocking ominous vaults.
Ominous Bottle	Obtained by looting vaults in trial chambers and also killing pillager raid captains outside of a village raid.

Note that these are the methods of acquisition based on Minecraft 1.21's pre-launch data, so Mojang Studios may tweak how some of these items are acquired after the Tricky Trials update is released. Some items may be easier to obtain and others more challenging, although the difference shouldn't be too drastic.

It should also be noted that many of the items in trial chambers, particularly those obtained from vaults and ominous vaults, aren't guaranteed drops. Since vaults can only be opened once per player, you may have to explore multiple trial chambers to find the items you're searching for. Or if you have a few friends on your world/server, you can always swap vault loot.

Whichever way, as long as you know where to get or find specific items in the Tricky Trials update, you should get whichever items you need. Moreover, some players are already coming up with ways to farm mobs like breezes inside trial chambers, providing renewable resources, such as breeze rods, wind charges, and other useful items.
