Minecraft 2024 Updates

1. Wolves with Enhanced Health

• Wolves have undergone a transformation! They now boast double the health they used to.
• Previously, tamed Wolves had a maximum health of 20, but now it’s been cranked up to 40.
• To reach this new maximum health, pre-existing tamed Wolves need some nourishment.
• The healing rate remains consistent, as the health restored by feeding Wolves has been doubled¹.

2. Experimental Features

a. Wind Charge

• Fancy becoming the breeze? Using a Wind Charge will fire off a projectile akin to the Breeze’s.
• Wind Charges fired by players grant 10% more knockback than those from the Breeze.
• These projectiles also deal damage if they hit an entity directly.
• Wind Charges can even be fired from dispensers.
• Players launching themselves with a Wind Charge only accumulate fall damage below a certain y-level.
• The Breeze drops between 4-6 Wind Charges when defeated¹.

b. Bogged Skeletons

• Meet the new variant of Skeletons—they shoot poisonous arrows.
• With 16 health (instead of the usual 20), they’re faster to take down.
• Their attack interval is slower (3.5 seconds instead of 2 seconds).
• When players defeat them, there’s a chance they’ll drop Arrows of Poison.
• These mossy and mushroom-covered Skeletons spawn naturally in Swamps and Mangrove Swamps.
• Keep an eye out for them—they might also appear from Trial Spawners in certain Trial Chambers¹.

c. Vaults

• Vaults are blocks that hold locked treasure and loot.
• You’ll find them scattered throughout Trial Chambers, containing the structures’ most valuable rewards.
• To unlock a Vault, you’ll need a Trial Key.
• Vaults can be unlocked by an unlimited number of players, but once unlocked, they can’t be opened again by the same player.
• If you haven’t unlocked a Vault before, an orange stream of particles flows from you to the Vault when you’re nearby.
• The keyhole on the Vault will be open or closed based on nearby players’ unlocking status:
  • If any nearby player hasn’t unlocked the Vault, the keyhole remains open.
  • If all nearby players have unlocked the Vault, the keyhole is closed¹.
