Summary
MinecraftJava Edition has added the Wind Charge item in its newest snapshot. Mojang supportsMinecraftwith frequent updates and snapshots that everybody can play. These snapshots add features in advance for players to test and give feedback to the developers before they make their way into the game.
Last year,Minecraftintroduced several features through snapshots, like the Trial Chamber, a new procedurally generated dungeon filled with traps, mobs, and resources. Another update released in 2023 added Armadillo scutes and wolf armor, the crafter, and anew command that makesMinecraftmobs scary. This year,Minecrafthas already released several snapshots, including the one that officially introduced the Vault, a block that holds treasure and loot, but can only be opened with the key found in the Trial Chamber. Now, a newMinecraftsnapshot is available, and it comes with an exciting item for players to try out in their adventures.
MinecraftJava Edition snapshot 24w06a is available and has added a new item called Wind Charge. With this item, players can launch a powerful projectile or air to damage enemies and send nearby mobs flying. But this isn’t the only use for the wind charge, which can be used as a form of locomotion, as it charges players' jumps, making parkour maneuvers inMinecraftextra fun. It’s important to note that the Wind Charge can’t be crafted, and the only way to get it is by defeating the Breeze,Minecraft’s upcoming hostile mob, which drops four to six wind charges when defeated. To show the potential of thenew item added by Mojang, Reddit user Nature17-NatureVerse posted a video using the Wind Charge.
Minecraft’s Wind Charge Has Parkour Potential
As well as introducing the wind charge, snapshot 24w06a has adjustedMinecraft’s tamed wolves, which now have more health and recover twice as many hearts when fed by players. Mojang has also reduced the damage suffered by tamed wolves, which can withstand more attacks from arrows and other players. The armadillo has been tweaked and hides its head and feet when it takes damage. The mob got a new “coast is clear” animation before unrolling.
Snapshot 24w06a includes gameplay features that will be officially released inMinecraftupdate 1.2.1. The next major update after Trails and Tales doesn’t have a name yet, although players expect it to drop mid-year. WhileMinecraftJava Edition players can already test the new wave of content, Mojang promises to bring the content toMinecraftBedrock Edition owners soon.
