What are Minecraft trial chambers? Over the past few years, Mojang has added more and more to our underground experience in Minecraft, with new, stunning cave systems added with the Caves and Cliffs update in 2021, and amethyst geodes and Ancient cities brought in to stumble across while exploring. There are of course Strongholds to look out for underground too, and all those valuable ores. But with the Minecraft 1.21 update, trial chambers add another massive and exciting structure to your next Minecraft adventure.

Announced during Minecraft Live 2023, the Minecraft 1.21 update adds new vanilla features, changing the way you craft with the automated Minecraft Crafter block and expanding on your underground exploration. Trial chambers are large, multi-level structures found underground that you can plunder alone or with friends to practice your combat skills and earn some valuable loot. They feature new decorative blocks sets, a new light block, and even a new mob: the Minecraft Breeze.
