Minecraft Snapshot 25W45A Brings New Netherite Horse Armor
Minecraft Snapshot 25W45A adds netherite horse armor, coral Nautilus, and spear tweaks to Java Edition.
Minecraft Snapshot 25W45A introduces significant updates, including netherite horse armor and changes to entities like the coral Nautilus and Camel Husks. This snapshot is now available for the Java Edition.
New Features
The major highlight of this update is the addition of netherite horse armor, advancing diamond horse armor to an endgame level of protection. Players can craft this armor using a smithing table with a smithing upgrade template, a netherite ingot, and diamond horse armor, enabling advanced player mounts.
A new coral variant of the Nautilus appears in warm ocean biomes. These coral Nautiluses are ridden by Drowned mobs, sometimes armed with a trident, adding a challenging element to ocean exploration.
Spear and Camel Husks Adjustments
The spear weapon has undergone a tweak, making precision crucial by reducing leniency on missed charged attacks. Additionally, Camel Husks now drop 2–3 rotten flesh and up to 1 extra per Looting level, impacting loot strategies.
The menu panorama reflects the new Mounts of Mayhem update, adding visual freshness to the game interface. A new advancement, "Mob Kabob," rewards players skilful enough to skewer multiple enemies with the spear.
