How to Claim the Parched Hoodie and Spear Emote: Minecraft Bedrock Twitch Rewards

The Mounts of Mayhem game drop is set to launch on December 9, 2025, bringing exciting new features like the spear weapon, netherite horse armor, nautilus mounts, and more to both Java and Bedrock Editions. To celebrate, Mojang is offering exclusive Twitch Drops for Bedrock Edition players: the Parched Hoodie (a desert-themed outerwear cosmetic) and the Spear Emote (an animated emote). These rewards are part of the "Winter Drops Fest 2025" campaign and can be earned from December 10, 2025, at 9:00 AM PST until December 31, 2025, at 11:00 PM PST.

The Parched Hoodie requires just 5 minutes of watch time on any qualifying Minecraft stream, making it one of the easiest drops ever. The Spear Emote requires purchasing one subscription (any paid tier; Prime subs excluded) to a qualifying streamer. Note: These rewards are Bedrock-exclusive cosmetics that appear in your Character Creator/Dressing Room for use across compatible worlds and realms.
