澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Minecraft's latest addition is blowing players away, and I mean that literally🐭 as well as figuratively. 

The blocky builder's 1.21 update is expected to arrive midway through 2024, and to make sure everything's ship༺shape in time for its release, players can now test some of the new features and items set to be added, including Wind Charges.

Wind Charges are dropped by Breezes - a brand-new hostile mob - and as players have been discovering over on Twitter, these are not only an extremely helpful tool but are also a lot of fun to use. You could say they bring a breath of fresh air to the sandbox game (sorry not sorry).

Minecraft fan @DRAXOMOSPHERE shared a series of videos showing just what these babies can do. The first, which you can check out below, demonstrates just how fast and effortless it is to scale tall structures. shows the playe🐭r launching themselves from an even higher structure and using the device to reach the ground unscathed. "You don't even take fall damage while using this thing," they exclaim. "This is amazing✨."

It turns out ledges aren't even necessary, as you can use the wind machines to fly stra🍌ight up in the air, as demonstrated by Twitter user @CagilMartin with a clip that shows them ascending a smooth stru⭕cture 30 blocks high. 

Then there's @Cra🌺ftyMasterman, who seemingly tried to launch themselves into outer spaꦅce by stacking a bunch of Wind Charges beneath them.

As Mojang explains in a , Wind Charges can also be used to launch projectiles at your enemies, which, as well as dealing damage, also sends them fl🃏ying. Crucially, though, the developer points out that the device "doesn't give you a set of very majestic eyebrows."
