Mounts of Mayhem is here

Face mounted challenges and rise as a champion!

Goat horns have been sounding all over the Overworld today – because the Mounts of Mayhem drop releases TODAY, bringing a new weapon to wield, mounts to tame, foes to face, and strategies to master. You’ll find new challenges awaiting you beneath scorching desert suns, deep in the ocean’s depths, and hiding in the shadows. Will you falter, or arise as champion? (Minecraft.net)

Face new foes

Mounted combat is everywhere in this new update! Explore the deserts to come face to face with the unnerving camel husk, which spawns in with not one, but two hostile foes! Camel husks are ridden by both spear-wielding husks and the parched, a desert skeleton that likes to pepper players with volleys of arrows! Ouch! (Minecraft.net)

Dive into the ocean depths to battle a familiar foe with a new and faster strategy. Drowned love to ride into battle atop the zombie nautilus, a mount you can tame for yourself (if you succeed in knocking off its hostile rider first!) (Minecraft.net)

After all that, you might be relieved when night finally falls so you can trot back to your base… or will you? Once darkness descends across the Overworld, zombie horsemen emerge from plains and savannahs, and they’ll ride towards you equipped with spears! (Minecraft.net)

What sort of champion will you be?

Ride to victory atop your favorite horse – which you can now protect with the strongest armor in the game, Netherite horse armor! Or use the velocity-scaling damage of the spear to rain down triumph from the skies with a trusty set of elytra. (Minecraft.net)

For those looking underwater for new challenges – tame yourself one of the new underwater mounts! Nautiluses and zombie nautiluses both grant players a speed boost when ridden underwater, but that’s not all! The Breath of the Nautilus effect will also stop your air bubbles decreasing while you’re riding them, so you can stay submerged for longer! (Minecraft.net)

I also hear there’s a rare variant of the zombie nautilus hiding in warmer waters, for champions who like a hide-and-seek challenge… (Minecraft.net)
