Here is a guide to understanding everything that there is to know about the Trial Chamber and all the new inclusions in Minecraft.
The Minecraft Trial Chambers is one of the recently added modes, inaugurated during the Minecraft 1.21 update. Holding up as one of the most exciting updates among the recent releases, let us take a look at all there is to know about the mode and have you prepared for the trial.
What Exactly Is the Trial Chamber in Minecraft?
The Trial Chambers is a category of a dungeon in the game, located underground. This trial provides you with various challenges based on combat. This proves to be more beneficial to engage in during the later phases of your survival mode. During the challenge, you get the chance to farm a lot of valuable loot by interacting with the fun and repeatable challenges and fighting mobs.
Just like any of the underground biomes, exploration is key to locating this dungeon. Typically lying at a T-axis between -20 and -40, scanning through caves is the best choice at hand. The easier way of finding the dungeon would be by obtaining the Trial Explorer Map. This can be attained from a Cartographer villager. Do ensure that the cartographer is at least journeyman level three or higher. You may also have to keep at least a dozen emeralds or a compass handy to commence the trade.
What You Can Expect From the Trial Chamber?
There are also a lot of loot chests that you can discover and empty. These, however, are spread out across the chambers and are heavily guarded by mobs. It is worth fighting for, as you can expect a plethora of rewards, including enchanted weapons and armors, potions, emeralds, and even diamonds.
Be mindful when exploring the dungeon, for the chamber is filled with traps and terrors. These traps could get triggered by either mob attacks or even by accidental movements. These include pressure plates with arrow dispensers, tripwire-based traps, and even Redstone puzzles. Not only do you need to be ready for combat, but you also need to be aware of your surroundings.
Trial Chambers prove to be a challenge for seasoned veterans as well. There is a different type of mob spawner inside the chamber called the Trial Spawner. These don’t just release mobs randomly but calculate the intensity based on the number of players in the area. So, if your plan was to go in huge numbers and conquer it, think again. The more players, the more the mobs spawn. Unlike the normal spawners, there is a time-out to this spawner, which activates once you defeat a group of mobs. During this time, loot such as emeralds, enchanted gear, and trial keys pop out.
What Are Trial Keys in Trial Chambers?
Trial keys are an important loot that you can use to unlock vaults. The vaults are a type of box in the trial chamber that contains rare goodies. The more attractive the reward, the more challenging it is to obtain. The chances of getting the key are about 50% from the trial spawner. Once you obtain the key, locate the vault and unlock it to get the generous items the vault coughs up. A vault, when used once, can not be used again by the same player.
While the trial keys can be sourced from trial spawners, the entrance room, decorated pots, and chests, the other key, which is the ominous key, can only be found in the trial spawner, with only a 30% possibility of being dropped.
Newly Introduced Mobs, Weapons, and Blocks in the Trial Challenge
The Mace: This is one of the newly introduced weapons found inside the chamber vaults. The likelihood of its spawning inside the vault chamber is as low as 2.225%. You can, however, craft the mace by first spawning and later defeating the Breeze mob.
The Breeze: The Breeze is a hostile mob that is tasked with guarding the Trial Chambers. Its primary attack features the use of wind energy to knock players back. It also activates redstone traps in the near vicinity. However, if you manage to beat the Breeze, it will drop Breeze rods, which you can collect and later use to craft Wind Charges, which are a type of throwable item.
What Is the Ominous Event?
The ominous event occurs in the trial chambers, essentially churning up the difficulty of the game. It is indicated by the term ‘Bad Omen’ in your crafting menu. More enemy mobs spawn, making surviving even tougher. But with great risks come great rewards.
To trigger the ominous event, you will first need to leave the cave and visit the nearest pillager outpost. Once you reach there, kill the Pillager with the banner. As soon as you do that, head back to the Trial Challenge, and you will notice the Bad Omen effect. The trial spawners will now convert into ominous spawners. These spawners function in the same manner. The only difference is the increased probability of spawning mobs with armor.
