Minecraft's Tricky Trials Might Say a Lot About the Next Update

As a longtime Minecraft fan, I’m thrilled to see the latest addition of Tricky Trials in our beloved game with the 1.21 update. However, I can’t help but notice that this update seems smaller than some of its predecessors, such as the Village & Pillage and Nether Updates, which brought significant changes to biomes, mobs, and blocks.

With the long-awaited arrival of the Tricky Trials feature in Minecraft as part of the 1.21 update, players are now speculating about potential developments in the upcoming 1.22 update based on this new content and its precedents set by past updates. As Minecraft’s updates have consistently introduced larger and more daring enhancements to the game over the years, it comes as no surprise that the community is eagerly anticipating what Mojang has planned next. By examining the recent additions in Tricky Trials and considering the trends established by previous updates, we might be able to make an informed prediction about Minecraft’s 1.22 release.

As Minecraft marked its tenth anniversary since its initial launch, it received several updates that considerably expanded the game by introducing or revamping various biomes, mobs, and blocks. Notable examples are the Village & Pillage (1.13) and Nether Update (1.15). Fans speculate that this pattern of small-scale Minecraft updates precedes larger, more comprehensive overhauls. In celebration of Minecraft’s fifteenth anniversary in 2024, Mojang plans to surpass the recent Tricky Trials update with its next major 1.22 release.

Minecraft’s Tricky Trials Seems Smaller Than Previous Updates

In the latest version 1.21 of Minecraft called Tricky Trials, Mojang has introduced new mobs, items, and features. However, most of these additions have primarily served the update’s central Trial Chamber structure. This update stands out comparatively smaller than previous ones due to a stronger emphasis on multiplayer combat with new weapons, potions, and enchantments, as well as cosmetic enhancements through materials like copper and tuff. For instance, unlike the Nether Update which brought four new biomes, Netherite equipment surpassing diamond, various mobs, structures, and blocks, Tricky Trials has only introduced one structure, two mobs, and failed to utilize Minecraft’s potential for creating gear out of the newly added copper.

Minecraft’s Tricky Trials Could Be Setting Up the 1.22 Update

To make Tricky Trials debut during 2024 an impressive milestone for Minecraft’s fifteenth anniversary, the extent of the 1.21 update appears insufficient. This is particularly noteworthy given recent updates like 1.18’s Caves & Cliffs Part 2, which revolutionized world generation, and 1.19’s The Wild, which introduced the formidable Warden mob. Tricky Trials may serve as an introduction to the upcoming update, much like how Minecraft’s 1.18 expansion of cave depths heightened the threat of the Deep Dark sculk-infested biome and the Warden in 1.19. Consequently, the new content added to Minecraft’s 1.21 version could be a precursor for the 1.22 update.

Tricky Trials’ Focus on Player Co-Op, Combat, and Trials Could Point to Minecraft’s Next Update

As a devoted Minecraft fan, I’ve noticed that Mojang typically releases at least one significant update per year, depending on the size of the upcoming changes. Based on this pattern, we might have to wait until 2025 for the next major Minecraft update, version 1.22. However, it’s important to remember that exceptions do occur – like the two Cave & Cliffs updates in 2019. So, there’s a possibility that Mojang will maintain the excitement with Minecraft’s Tricky Trials and deliver its 1.22 update sooner rather than later. With the new mechanics of Tricky Trials now under our belts, the upcoming update could further develop these aspects and introduce even more engaging features for players to explore.

  • Biome-specific Trial Chambers, such as in the Deep Dark or the Nether.
  • New special weapons like the Mace as rewards from Vaults.
  • Player-versus-player options for certain Trial Chambers.
  • New hostile mobs to add even more combat variety in Trial Chambers.

In their latest update, Tricky Trials added content that can be enjoyed even by solo players. However, Mojang emphasized during the announcements prior to the release that the new Trial Chamber structures were intended for a more engaging multiplayer experience. This update appears to be the most overt in urging multiplayer action within Minecraft. It’s possible that Tricky Trials’ emphasis on combat and cooperative play has served as a precursor to an even bigger update, where Minecraft may further emphasize multiplayer interactions. However, since combat isn’t a core aspect of the game, Minecraft’s upcoming update could instead concentrate on traditional elements and player cooperation while reducing the focus on Tricky Trials’ multiplayer combat.
