The Breeze is an agile and mischievous hostile mob introduced in Minecraft 1.21: The Tricky Trials Update. It is found in the Trial Chambers and brings a new dynamic to combat encounters by utilizing ranged wind-based attacks. The Breeze is capable of propelling itself with gusts of air, making it tricky to hit and allowing it to navigate tight combat spaces effectively.

Hostility Level
The Breeze is a hostile mob, attacking players and entities on sight within Trial Chambers.
Health Points
The Breeze has 15 health points (or 7.5 hearts). It is relatively fragile compared to some other Trial Chamber mobs but compensates for this with evasive movement and ranged attacks.
Where to Find Breeze
Breezes naturally spawn only in Trial Chambers, a new underground structure introduced in version 1.21. They often appear during trial encounters triggered by Trial Spawners.
Weapon
The Breeze uses Wind Charges as its weapon. These charges create bursts of wind that damage, knock back, and interact with the environment.
Attack Method
The Breeze attacks by launching Wind Charges at players. These charges:
-
Cause knockback
-
Deal damage on direct hit
-
Activate buttons, levers, and open doors
-
Can knock items off item frames and extinguish candles
Behavior
The Breeze is highly mobile and agile:
-
Uses wind to dash and evade attacks
-
Hovers slightly above the ground
-
Constantly moves around the player
-
Keeps distance to favor its ranged attack style
-
Can interact with certain blocks unintentionally via its Wind Charges
Drops
When defeated, the Breeze drops:
-
1 Breeze Rod (rare crafting ingredient)
-
Occasionally additional drops through player loot-enhancing effects (e.g., Looting enchantment)
Experience Points
Defeating a Breeze grants 10 experience points.
Special Skills
The Breeze has the following special skills:
-
Wind Dash: Quickly moves to different positions using bursts of wind
-
Wind Charge Interaction: Wind Charges can affect redstone components, open doors, and interact with many mechanical blocks
-
Knockback Resistance: Less prone to standard knockback, making melee engagement harder
Spawn Eggs
In creative mode, players can obtain a Breeze Spawn Egg via:
-
Java Edition: Creative inventory or
/give @p minecraft:breeze_spawn_egg -
Bedrock Edition (once supported): Creative inventory or
/givecommand
Things to do with the Breeze
-
Challenge and loot: Farm Breeze Rods for new recipes (future crafting potential)
-
Combat practice: Improve movement-based combat skills due to its evasive nature
-
Redstone fun: Use Wind Charges to trigger or disable redstone devices in creative contraptions

-
Summon Breeze:
/summon minecraft:breeze ~ ~ ~ -

Spawn Events for the Breeze
Breezes spawn through Trial Spawners inside Trial Chambers when players activate trials. They do not spawn naturally outside this structure in normal world generation.
Breeze Fun Facts
-
The Breeze was first teased during Minecraft Live 2023.
-
Wind Charges can interact with blocks in ways similar to player actions (button press, candle extinguish, etc.).
-
The Breeze has no melee attack — it relies entirely on ranged projectiles.
-
Its movement is coded to make it feel like it is riding bursts of air.
Advanced Tips for Farming
-
Use Ranged Weapons (Bow/Crossbow) to hit the Breeze — melee combat is difficult due to its dash ability.
-
Netherite Armor reduces Wind Charge knockback significantly.
-
Farm Breezes with Looting-enchanted weapons to maximize Breeze Rod drops.
-
Set up trap corridors in Trial Chambers to limit the Breeze’s movement range.
-
Utilize Shield to block Wind Charges effectively.
How the Breeze Interacts with Other Game Mechanics
-
Redstone: Wind Charges can activate or disable redstone components like buttons, levers, and doors — this makes them unpredictable in redstone-heavy environments.
-
Villagers: The Breeze ignores villagers; it does not target passive mobs.
-
Water: Wind Charges do not propagate underwater.
-
Other mobs: The Breeze does not affect most mobs except through indirect knockback when Wind Charges strike nearby surfaces.
