Minecraft Unveils Spear and Rideable Mounts in Holiday ‘Mounts of Mayhem’ Update

It marks the game's first craftable, tiered weapon with new mounted-combat mechanics.

Overview

  • Mojang set a Holiday 2025 launch window for Mounts of Mayhem without a specific release date.
  • The Spear features a jab and a speed-scaling charge attack, expanding combat options on foot and while riding.
  • Players can craft spears across material tiers including copper, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite, with reporting noting time-limited charges and heavier high-tier handling.
  • Zombie Horses will spawn in Survival in savannah and plains biomes with hostile zombie riders, and the mounts can be tamed after the rider is defeated but will burn in sunlight.
  • The Nautilus becomes a tameable underwater mount using a pufferfish and a saddle, halts air consumption while ridden, supports armor tiers, and has a zombified variant ridden by Drowned.
