Download Minecraft Bedrock / PE 1.21

Download Minecraft 1.21 for Android - a large-scale update announced at the annual Minecraft Live 2023 event. The experts at Mojang promise many innovations - for example, a redesigned combat system and new mobs, special biomes with tests and armor, as well as recipes and mechanics that react to the red dust effect.

What's new in Minecraft 1.21?

The content listed, as suggested by the developers, will appear between early and mid-2024 and will pick up ideas from previous thematic updates, such as Trails & Tales or Caves & Cliffs.

New biome. Test chamber

A key element of the announcement is a new structure that resembles an endless corridor with various passages and locked rooms that hide enemies or simple puzzles inside.

There are still few details about the biome, but the developers have shared a few tidbits:

• ■ It's virtually impossible to leave the room before completing the test (in the form of combat or a task);
• ■ The structure is randomly generated when the world is created;
• ■ The chamber is filled with tuff and copper blocks and, thanks to dynamic lighting and RTX technology, it looks stunning, even on mobile platforms;
• ■ Rewards abound in the biome, and they're all grouped together in chests ;
• ■ The main defender of such an unusual place is Brisa, a new mob that relies on several natural elements at once when fighting.

Mobs

The Mobs vote, which has become a tradition at Minecraft Live, ended with Armadillo's victory in 2023. At the same time, the developers introduced a new enemy: Breeze.

Armadillo

The new armadillo lives in Savannah and has a neutral character, showing no aggression and curling up into a ball for protection.

Unusual:

• ■ After death (after a while), it transforms into Shields, from which Wolf Armor is assembled at the Workbench ;
• ■ The armadillo is found in warm biomes and rarely ventures outside its usual habitats.

Breeze

A hostile mob protects the treasures in test chambers and is often found in mission rooms:

• ■ Breezes gain altitude at lightning speed and easily occupy unexpected strategic positions;
• ■ In battle, the unlikely enemy relies on projectiles that have absorbed the power of the Wind;
• ■ The projectiles fired don't always cause damage: only on a direct, precise hit ;
• ■ Sometimes, "Wind" activates levers, pressure plates and buttons protruding from the wall, blowing certain structures into the air at the same time.

Blocks

As in previous thematic updates, the developers have transferred fully functional decorative and interior elements to the sandbox.

Test generator

A new block appears in the rooms of the Test Chamber, automatically placing aggressive monsters nearby (the number and type of enemies depend on many factors, such as the world's creation date and the equipment used by adventurers).

The Generator has several unusual features:

• ■ It recharges after several starts;
• ■ A destroyed block ensures the fall of rare objects;
• ■ Produces unusual sounds and emits smoke particles (helping to navigate in space).

Craft

An automated version of the classic workbench. Main :

• ■ Activates with red powder and immediately gets to work;
• ■ The craftsman doesn't need to manually fill the materials - no one has to worry about using the funnel themselves;
• ■ The automatic tool and object manufacturing model is defined before work starts, by assigning special slots and cells;
• ■ The results of actions performed are added to the "Inventory".
