Minecraft 1.21: How to Get Breeze Rods

Minecraft's 1.21 update is set to introduce a variety of new content, including the Breeze mob and the valuable resource it drops: Breeze Rods. These items are used for crafting powerful projectiles, making them a sought-after resource for players looking to enhance their gameplay experience. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of obtaining Breeze Rods and explore the ways you can use them in Minecraft 1.21.

How to Obtain Breeze Rods

To get your hands on Breeze Rods, you'll need to defeat the Breeze mob. These new enemies can be found in the Trial Chambers, which are procedurally generated structures scattered throughout the Minecraft world. Each naturally generated Trial Spawner within these chambers will spawn two Breezes, one at a time, for players to battle.

When defeated, the Breeze mob will drop 1-2 Breeze Rods 100% of the time. However, if you have the Looting enchantment on your sword, the number of Breeze Rods dropped can increase:

• Looting I: 1-4 Breeze Rods
• Looting II: 1-6 Breeze Rods
• Looting III: 1-8 Breeze Rods

It's important to note that Breeze Rods will only drop if the kill counts as a player kill, meaning either the player or their tamed wolf must deal the final blow to the Breeze mob.

How to Use Breeze Rods in Minecraft?

Breeze Rods are a versatile resource that can be used in three crafting recipes:

1. Wind Charges: These projectiles can be shot at entities to deal damage and knock them back. Crafting Wind Charges requires one Breeze Rod.
2. Mace: The Mace is a powerful new melee weapon that deals damage proportional to the height from which you fall. The longer the fall, the stronger the Mace's attack. To craft a Mace, you'll need a Wind Charger (crafted with the help of Breeze Rods) and a Heavy Core.

Before venturing into a Trial Chamber to face the Breeze mob, it's crucial to gear up and prepare accordingly. Breeze Rods are an exciting addition to Minecraft 1.21, offering players the opportunity to craft powerful weapons and projectiles.
