Download Minecraft Bedrock 1.21

Download Minecraft 1.21 for Android - a large-scale update announced during the annual Minecraft Live 2023 event. Experts from Mojang promise a lot of innovations - for example, a redesigned combat system and new mobs, special biomes with tests and armor, as well as recipes and mechanisms that respond to effect of red dust.

What's new in Minecraft 1.21?

The listed content, as suggested by the developers, will appear in early to mid-2024 and will continue the ideas of previous thematic updates, such as Trails & Tales or Caves & Cliffs.

New biome. Test Chamber

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

There are still few details about the biome, but the developers did share a few facts:

■     It is almost impossible to get out of the room before completing the test (in the form of a battle or in a task format);

■     The structure is randomly generated during world creation;

■     The chamber is filled with blocks of Tufa and Copper and due to dynamic lighting and RTX technology, it looks impressive even on mobile platforms;

■     There are plenty of rewards in the biome and they are all packaged in chests;

■     The main defender of such an unusual place is Breeze, a new mob that relies on several natural elements at once in battle.

Mobs

The Mob Vote, which has already become traditional during Minecraft Live, ended in victory for the Armadillo in 2023 . At the same time, the developers introduced a new enemy - Breeze.

Armadillo

The new mob lives in Savannah and has a neutral character, which is why it does not show any aggression and curls up into a ball for its own protection.

From the unusual:

■     After death (after some time) it turns into Shields, from which Wolf Armor is assembled on the Workbench;

■     The armadillo is found in warm biomes and rarely ventures outside its usual habitats.

Breeze

A hostile mob protects treasures in the Chambers of Trials and is often found in quest rooms:

■     The breeze gains altitude with lightning speed and easily takes unexpected strategic positions;

■     In battle, the unusual enemy relies on projectiles that have absorbed the power of the Wind;

■     Fired projectiles do not always cause damage - only with an accurate and direct hit;

■     Sometimes “Wind” activates levers, pressure plates and buttons sticking out of the wall, and at the same time blows up some structures.

Blocks

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

Test generator

A new block appears in the rooms of the Chamber of Trials and automatically places aggressive mobs nearby (the number and type of enemies depends on many factors, including the date of creation of the world and the equipment used by adventurers).

The Generator has several unusual features:

■     Recharges after several starts;

■     A destroyed block guarantees the drop of rare items;

■     Makes unusual sounds and emits smoke particles (thereby helping to navigate in space).

Crafts

An automated version of the classic Workbench. Main:

■     Activated with Red Dust and immediately goes to work;

■     The crafter does not require manual filling with materials - no one bothers to use the same Funnel;

■     The template for automatic crafting of tools and things is set before starting work by allocating special slots and cells;

■     The result of the actions taken is added to the “Inventory”.
