The update will be adding some new mobs, a new weapon, and a few other items. The star of the game drop is the nautilus mob as it will be the first underwater mob that you can mount to explore the oceans.There will also be a zombie version of this mob that will be mounted by the drowned. You will have to fight it and get it off to make the zombie nautilus passive.After that, you can mount the mob as well. Something worth wondering is whether the developers would add more ocean features and mobs in the future to make exploration more fun.If you are wondering, once you mount the nautilus mob, you automatically get the Breath of the Nautilus status effect allowing you to breathe underwater. So you don’t have to worry about getting underwater breathing potions.Apart from the nautilus, the game is getting the camel husk mob and the parched, the desert variant of the skeleton mob. The developers have added the zombie horse to Minecraft Survival mode as well.The combat of Minecraft is about to change with the addition of the spear weapon. You can make it just like any other weapon such as a sword or axe. What makes it different is that you can do two attacks; a normal jab and a charged attack. Spears made of different materials also have different properties, including some advantages and disadvantages as well.The spear can also be used while you are on a horse or the nautilus. By increasing your speed, you can deal more damage to the enemy. This will not only make combat more fun, but also change the player vs player experience. The Mounts of Mayhem update will release on December 9.
