1. Major Ocean Updates: The Nautilus Revolution
With the new Minecraft Mounts Of Mayhem features, oceans get their first real overhaul since the Aquatic Update (over 7 years ago).
- Nautilus:
- Highly diverse, including baby nautiluses
- Tameable with puffer fish
- Riding a nautilus keeps your air intact underwater, preventing drowning
- Significant underwater speed boost
- New armor options: copper, gold, diamond, and netherite (before netherite horse armor!)
- Simple controls similar to happy ghast
- Dash ability for rapid underwater travel and jumping out of water
- Drowned mobs can ride zombie nautilus, often equipped with a trident for an extra challenge
- Zombie nautiluses are passive; currently unclear whether you can ride them
- Nautilus can attack players, as teased by official Minecraft promos
- Likely found in coral and warm ocean biomes, with some sightings in iceberg biomes
- Underwater structures shown in trailers are player-built, not official features
2. The Return of Zombie Horse
- Zombie Horse:
- After 12 years, finally added to Survival mode
- Spawns at night
- Zombie mobs can spawn riding a zombie horse, brandishing a spear
- Currently, saddle support is not available
- Includes cute baby zombie horses
- Updated texture with an “X” on the chest, unlike previous Bedrock versions
- Mojang continues the trend of reviving forgotten mobs (like copper golem)
- May hint at future returns of mobs like giants or illusioners
3. Minecraft’s Latest Weapon: The Spear
Follow us on social media and stay one step ahead of the game! 🚀
- Spear:
- Multi-use weapon with a charge attack: the faster you move, the more damage you deal (similar to the mace, but more accessible)
- Multiple types: stone, copper, iron, gold, diamond, netherite
- Usable while mounted (great for jousting)
- Two attack styles: jab (normal) and charge
- Knockback and dismount ability, can unmount other mobs or players
- Heavyweight effect: after a while, spear does damage without knockback or dismount until reset
- Higher-tier spears become unstable faster
- Cooldown mechanic to manage successive attacks
- Usable on foot, running, flying, or riding any mount
4. Official Release Schedule
- Copper Age Update: Releases September 30

5. Extra Details & Teasers
- Nautilus spawns primarily in coral and warm oceans, possibly iceberg biomes
- Underwater structures seen in promotional footage are not part of the update—they are player-built
- Zombie horse gets a texture update and baby variants, but still no saddle support
- Spear comes with knockback/dismount capabilities and reload/cooldown mechanics
- Mojang often surprises with late additions (mobs, blocks, features); more could be added before release
- Wishes for skeleton horse trap overhaul, four horsemen of apocalypse buffs, happy ghast speed boost, and improvements to other rideable mobs (pig, strider, camel, llama, donkey, cat)
6. Texture Bug: The “Purple Flower” Cat
In spear promo images, what looked like a new purple flower was actually a cat with broken textures. Minecraft still doesn’t have a flower yielding purple dye!
Conclusion
