The PvP community is a heck of a thing when it comes to Minecraft. Ever since the extremely divisive 1.8 Combat update, the combat in Minecraft has been a touchy subject. This is quite interesting, considering the PvP community is supposedly one of the pillars of the Minecraft community. So why has Mojang continued to neglect this core aspect of Minecraft’s gameplay? Well, supposedly, the developers have heard us, and they’ve added a new feature in the latest update to appease us. Today, we’ll be going over the Trial Chambers.
Trial Chambers
Trial Chambers are structures that generate underground in the overworld. They are procedurally generated structures made mostly of new tuff and copper blocks, with the starting piece generating at around height levels -40 and 20. The chambers consist of a number of different rooms, some of which contain trial spawners. These structures have quite an interesting design and lore to them with the Mojang team having designed them to each feel unique, that way those who love combat can tackle these consistently and never feel bored!
The trial chamber entrance includes a main room with a tree, leading to a trap-filled corridor. At the corridor’s end, an intersection can be found leading to a second corridor on one side and a chamber on the other. The second corridor ends in another chamber. Both corridors may have side hallways, each connecting to an additional chamber. There are various chamber rooms, each containing multiple trial spawners. Chambers that spawn ranged mobs or breezes and have several dispensers along the walls powered by oak buttons. Overall, this place is made to be intimidating, and should only be entered by those who are well-prepared for the challenge.
I am particularly fond of the industrial vibe that these structures give off with how they use the copper grates, tuff blocks, and more. Blocks on the floor near a trial spawner indicate which type of mob is summoned when the spawner is activated. But what exactly is a “trial spawner”? Well, the trial spawner is a new, special type of spawner that can only be found within the trial chambers. Unlike your average spawner, this spawner spawns mobs in waves, the size of which depends on how many players approach it, offering a dynamic challenge. When all the mobs are defeated, it ejects rewards similarly weighted to the challenge and then goes inactive for an extended period of time.
Conclusion
That’s all! The Trial Chambers are quite interesting, and I believe they’re going to be the most interesting aspect of the next major Minecraft update. I’m particularly fond of the trial spawners, as I believe they will offer massive value to adventure map creators. I can only imagine the cool and interesting challenges that are made by the creative Minecraft community, and I’m sure they’ll make them fit the aesthetic of the new chambers. I hope this update comes sooner than later, and with that being said, have a great day!
