Minecraft gets one of the wildest updates in a long time with Mounts of Mayhem. New mounts, fresh combat mechanics and exciting encounters ensure that you can experience the world in a whole new way.

New mounts: More mobility - but also more danger

The update introduces several new mounts that not only look good, but also noticeably change the gameplay:

Nautilus - your underwater mount

For the first time, you can not only swim, but actually ride through the oceans. The Nautilus is fast, agile and ideal for longer underwater exploration tours.

Inanimate opponents

Whether on land or under the surface, some mounts now appear in dark, lifeless versions. These creatures add an extra challenge to the game, especially at night or in deep waters.

Desert Rider

A new, tall mount with a characteristic, drought-plagued look awaits you in the sand. Perfect if you travel a lot in warm biomes - but watch out, some variants are hostile.

New weapon: The spear

The update introduces a new all-round weapon in the form of the spear. You can use it to:

  • perform quick thrusts

  • prepare powerful charge attacks

  • fight particularly effectively on the move

  • Combine attacks from the mount

This gives you a tool that will be exciting for both PvP and more difficult survival situations.

New combat mechanics

One of the most exciting changes: You can now knock opponents off balance more easily or even knock them off their mounts. This provides significantly more dynamics - especially in chaotic battles.

New enchantments support these mechanics and make riding battles a real feature.

More exploration - above and below water

  • The new mounts make exploration easier, faster and more varied:

  • On the Nautilus, you can comfortably search coral reefs or ruins.

  • On land, you can reach mountains, deserts and forests faster than before.

The world feels bigger overall because you're no longer just exploring it on foot.

For whom is the update worthwhile?

Mounts of Mayhem is perfect for you if you:

  • like to try out new mechanics

  • want more action in combat

  • want to travel through the world faster and more stylishly

  • want to take on new roles in multiplayer (e.g. scout, hunter, support)

The update brings a breath of fresh air, especially for server groups - your riding troop is guaranteed to become a chaos factor.

Conclusion

The Mounts of Mayhem update is a mixture of action, exploration and fresh ideas. The new mounts change the way you move through the world and the new weapons make even old enemies exciting again. Whether you're playing alone or with friends, you'll have noticeably more options.
