For more daring Minecraft enthusiasts, the Tricky Trials update introduced two new hostile mobs, Bogged and Breeze. The Minecraft community eagerly awaited the Tricky Trials update, and one player has already found a clever way to make use of its new features.

Cleinden, a Reddit user used resources from the latest Minecraft update to launch themselves into space with a basic setup. In a video shared online, they demonstrated their experiment: packing numerous chickens into a small area. They then employed a Splash Potion of Wind Charge, a craftable potion in Minecraft, and connected a piston to a straightforward redstone circuit beneath the chickens. When activated, the piston propelled the player so high that they reached space.

In the Minecraft 1.21 update, there's a new item called the Splash Potion of Wind Charge. When players use this potion, it gives mobs the Wind Charged effect. This effect makes a mob release a burst of wind when it dies.

To experiment, players activated a piston and confined many chickens with the Wind Charged effect in a small area. When these chickens were killed, the resulting explosion was so powerful that, according to the player, it launched them up to a height of 10,000 blocks.

Although the player conducted the test in Creative mode, another Reddit user commented that they tried the same experiment in Survival mode and got similar results.

In addition, Mojang has added more ways for players to experiment with knockback effects beyond just the Splash Potion of Wind Charge. They've introduced the Wind Charge, a new projectile crafted using the Breeze Rod, an item dropped by Breezes. When thrown, the Wind Charge applies a knockback effect to any mob it hits. Players can creatively incorporate the Wind Charge into parkour challenges, and when paired with the new Mace weapon, they can defeat formidable mobs with a single strike.
