Internally, Mojang refers to it as the \u2018Holiday Drop 2025\u2019 and it is the fourth of four drops released in 2025, following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/en\/news\/minecraft-content-drop-the-copper-age-en\">\u2018Copper Age\u2019<\/a> drop earlier that year.

On a managed GPORTAL server, the server-side version update is easily handled through the web interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New &#8216;Mounts of Mayhem&#8217; Mobs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Minecraft &#8216;Mounts of Mayhem&#8217; adds five new mob types and changes the spawning behavior of the zombie horse. The short summary: every new mob is either a mount, a rider, or a pairing of both. The following subsections cover each one briefly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minecraft Nautilus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Meet the nautilus: the first tameable underwater mount in vanilla Minecraft. It is a passive mob that spawns in cold and deep ocean <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-biomes\/\">biomes<\/a>, can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-animal-taming\/\">tamed<\/a> by feeding it pufferfish, and ridden with a saddle. While riding a tamed nautilus, the player gains the <em>breath of the nautilus<\/em> effect, which pauses oxygen depletion (but does not refill the air bubbles). Two tamed, healed nautiluses can also be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-breeding\/\">bred<\/a> using any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-fish\/\">fish<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minecraft Zombie Nautilus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The zombie nautilus is the hostile counterpart found in oceans, usually ridden by a drowned wielding a trident. Unseating the rider and feeding the mob <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-pufferfish\/\">pufferfish<\/a> lets the player tame and ride it. Unlike the nautilus, the zombie nautilus can leave the water briefly and nautilus <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-armor\/\">armor<\/a> prevents it from burning in sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minecraft Zombie Horse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Minecraft, light and shadow often share the same pasture and with \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019, that is finally true for horses too. The zombie horse previously only existed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-creative-mode\/\"><em>creative<\/em><\/a> mode. It now spawns naturally at night in plains and savanna biomes, always paired with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-zombie\/\">zombie<\/a> rider holding an iron spear. This pair is called a zombie horseman. Zombie horses burn in direct sunlight like other undead mobs, so keep them in shade, tunnels, or under a roof once tamed. The mount itself is passive and can be tamed and saddled like a regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-horses\/\">horse<\/a> after dismounting the rider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minecraft Camel Husk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The camel husk is a new desert mount that spawns with two hostile riders: a husk wielding a spear and a parched. It does not burn in sunlight and can be ridden once both riders are dealt with, but it can\u2019t be tamed or bred through normal means. It can, however, be healed with rabbit feet, its preferred food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minecraft Parched<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The parched is a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-skeletons\/\">skeleton<\/a> variant that spawns in desert biomes at night. It does not burn in sunlight (but does not spawn in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-caves\/\">caves<\/a>), and it fires<em> arrows of weakness<\/em>. The parched also appears as the second rider on a camel husk, making desert nights significantly more dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Items &amp; Gear in \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the item side, &#8216;Mounts of Mayhem&#8217; adds a new tiered weapon, two new armor types, and cosmetic saddle additions.

The spear also comes with a unique enchantment called <em>lunge<\/em>, which grants a short burst of speed on the jab. Certain hostile mobs (including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-zombie\/\">zombies<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-piglin\/\">piglins<\/a>, husks and zombie horsemen) can spawn holding spears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Nautilus Armor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nautilus armor is a new gear type that can only be equipped on a tamed nautilus or zombie nautilus. It can\u2019t be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-crafting\/\">crafted<\/a> directly: the copper, iron, gold, and diamond variants are found in naturally generated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-chest\/\">chests<\/a> inside buried treasure, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-building\/\">ocean ruins<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/en\/blog\/boats-in-minecraft\">shipwrecks<\/a>. The netherite variant is obtained by upgrading the diamond variant on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-smithing-table\/\">smithing table<\/a> with a netherite upgrade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-smithing-template\/\">template<\/a> and 1x netherite ingot. Nautilus armor also prevents a zombie nautilus from burning when exposed to sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Netherite Horse Armor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Netherite horse armor is the final tier of horse <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-armor\/\">armor<\/a>. It is obtained by upgrading diamond horse armor at a smithing table with a netherite upgrade template and 1x netherite ingot. It provides 19 armor points, 3 armor <em>toughness<\/em>, and 1 <em>knockback<\/em> <em>resistance<\/em>, and it is currently the strongest protection available for a tamed horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Mechanics &amp; Structures in \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond items and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-mobs\/\">mobs<\/a>, &#8216;Mounts of Mayhem&#8217; introduces several mechanical changes that affect how players interact with mounts in general. Before listing each one individually, the key areas to note are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>mount-based combat scaling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>mounts that can swim<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the spear trials structure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mounted Combat With the Spear<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The spear&#8217;s charge attack is the first melee mechanic that directly rewards the rider&#8217;s momentum: the faster a mount is moving when the charge lands, the more damage it deals. This works for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-horses\/\">horses<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-camel\/\">camels<\/a>, and even an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/en\/blog\/minecraft-legendary-elytra\">Elytra<\/a> dive or a speeding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecart-minecraft\/\">minecart<\/a>. A charged spear hit can also knock riders off their own mounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Swimming Mounts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most mounts in \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019 no longer sink when a player is riding them through water. Riders are still dismounted when their own head goes fully underwater, but the mount itself now stays afloat. This change applies to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>horses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>donkeys<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>mules<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>most other rideable mobs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It does, however, <strong>not<\/strong> apply to saddled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g-portal.com\/wiki\/en\/minecraft-pigs\/\">pigs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spear Trials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spear trials is a new structure added by the \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019 update. It follows the trial-style format used by earlier drops (similar to trial chambers) and focuses on mounted spear combat scenarios. Loot includes spear-related items and saddle charms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1777032150788\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>What is the \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019 update?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">\u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019 is a Minecraft game drop released on December 9, 2025 as Java Edition 1.21.11 and Bedrock Edition 1.21.130.

Zombie horses finally spawn naturally, desert zones get the camel husk and the parched, and most existing mounts can now swim. This overview covers what is in the &#8216;Mounts of Mayhem&#8217; update and what that means for your server. Holiday Drop: The &#8216;Mounts of Mayhem&#8217; Update \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019 is a Minecraft game drop themed around mounted combat and travel, both on land and underwater. Internally, Mojang refers to it as the \u2018Holiday Drop 2025\u2019 and it is the fourth of four drops released in 2025, following the \u2018Copper Age\u2019 drop earlier that year. The update was first revealed at Minecraft Live in September 2025. The &#8216;Mounts of Mayhem&#8217; update adds new mobs that either act as mounts, ride mounts, or both, including: It also introduces: Most existing mounts can now swim while being ridden, which opens up a lot of new travel routes. Minecraft &#8216;Mounts of Mayhem&#8217; \u2013 Release Date &amp; Version The Minecraft &#8216;Mounts of Mayhem&#8217; release date was December 9, 2025. The drop is available on both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, with matching content across platforms. This is an overview of the stats: To play the drop, simply update your Minecraft client and, on Java servers, update the server .jar to 1.21.11. On a managed GPORTAL server, the server-side version update is easily handled through the web interface. New &#8216;Mounts of Mayhem&#8217; Mobs Minecraft &#8216;Mounts of Mayhem&#8217; adds five new mob types and changes the spawning behavior of the zombie horse. The short summary: every new mob is either a mount, a rider, or a pairing of both. The following subsections cover each one briefly. Minecraft Nautilus Meet the nautilus: the first tameable underwater mount in vanilla Minecraft. It is a passive mob that spawns in cold and deep ocean biomes, can be tamed by feeding it pufferfish, and ridden with a saddle. While riding a tamed nautilus, the player gains the breath of the nautilus effect, which pauses oxygen depletion (but does not refill the air bubbles). Two tamed, healed nautiluses can also be bred using any fish. Minecraft Zombie Nautilus The zombie nautilus is the hostile counterpart found in oceans, usually ridden by a drowned wielding a trident. Unseating the rider and feeding the mob pufferfish lets the player tame and ride it. Unlike the nautilus, the zombie nautilus can leave the water briefly and nautilus armor prevents it from burning in sunlight. Minecraft Zombie Horse In Minecraft, light and shadow often share the same pasture and with \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019, that is finally true for horses too. The zombie horse previously only existed in creative mode. It now spawns naturally at night in plains and savanna biomes, always paired with a zombie rider holding an iron spear. This pair is called a zombie horseman. Zombie horses burn in direct sunlight like other undead mobs, so keep them in shade, tunnels, or under a roof once tamed. The mount itself is passive and can be tamed and saddled like a regular horse after dismounting the rider. Minecraft Camel Husk The camel husk is a new desert mount that spawns with two hostile riders: a husk wielding a spear and a parched. It does not burn in sunlight and can be ridden once both riders are dealt with, but it can\u2019t be tamed or bred through normal means. It can, however, be healed with rabbit feet, its preferred food. Minecraft Parched The parched is a new skeleton variant that spawns in desert biomes at night. It does not burn in sunlight (but does not spawn in caves), and it fires arrows of weakness. The parched also appears as the second rider on a camel husk, making desert nights significantly more dangerous. Items &amp; Gear in \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019 On the item side, &#8216;Mounts of Mayhem&#8217; adds a new tiered weapon, two new armor types, and cosmetic saddle additions. The short version: The Spear The spear is a tiered weapon with 7 variants: It has two attack modes: a jab (a fast thrust with slight knockback) and a charge attack, whose damage scales with the player&#8217;s movement speed. The spear also comes with a unique enchantment called lunge, which grants a short burst of speed on the jab. Certain hostile mobs (including zombies, piglins, husks and zombie horsemen) can spawn holding spears. The Nautilus Armor Nautilus armor is a new gear type that can only be equipped on a tamed nautilus or zombie nautilus. It can\u2019t be crafted directly: the copper, iron, gold, and diamond variants are found in naturally generated chests inside buried treasure, ocean ruins, and shipwrecks. The netherite variant is obtained by upgrading the diamond variant on a smithing table with a netherite upgrade template and 1x netherite ingot. Nautilus armor also prevents a zombie nautilus from burning when exposed to sunlight. The Netherite Horse Armor Netherite horse armor is the final tier of horse armor. It is obtained by upgrading diamond horse armor at a smithing table with a netherite upgrade template and 1x netherite ingot. It provides 19 armor points, 3 armor toughness, and 1 knockback resistance, and it is currently the strongest protection available for a tamed horse. New Mechanics &amp; Structures in \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019 Beyond items and mobs, &#8216;Mounts of Mayhem&#8217; introduces several mechanical changes that affect how players interact with mounts in general. Before listing each one individually, the key areas to note are: Mounted Combat With the Spear The spear&#8217;s charge attack is the first melee mechanic that directly rewards the rider&#8217;s momentum: the faster a mount is moving when the charge lands, the more damage it deals. This works for horses, camels, and even an Elytra dive or a speeding minecart. A charged spear hit can also knock riders off their own mounts. Swimming Mounts Most mounts in \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019 no longer sink when a player is riding them through water. Riders are still dismounted when their own head goes fully underwater, but the mount itself now stays afloat. This change applies to: It does, however, not apply to saddled pigs. Spear Trials Spear trials is a new structure added by the \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019 update. It follows the trial-style format used by earlier drops (similar to trial chambers) and focuses on mounted spear combat scenarios. Loot includes spear-related items and saddle charms. FAQ Saddle Up for \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019 on Your GPORTAL Server \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019 is one of the biggest shifts to Minecraft&#8217;s combat and traversal systems in years. Mobility itself becomes part of the power curve. On land, the spear turns raw speed into damage, while zombie horsemen and camel husks raise the stakes of every ride across plains, savanna and desert. At sea, the nautilus opens up sustained ocean exploration for the first time. Because mounts now sit at the center of both combat and travel, the update rewards groups who coordinate \u2013 which is where a private server comes in. Running the latest version on a stable, managed server means no waiting for a friend&#8217;s world to come online, no lost nautilus progress, and no arguments over whose PC hosts tonight&#8217;s session. Set up your own Minecraft server from GPORTAL, update to 1.21.11, and charge into \u2018Mounts of Mayhem\u2019 with your friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":28734,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"post-blog-template.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,22],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
