Minecraft 1.21.130.20 Beta

Minecraft 1.21.130.20 Beta — the developers have released a new test build for Android, adding lots of exciting content to the game. This update brings new sea mobs, unique weapons, and numerous technical improvements. Let’s break down what this beta includes.

Main additions

The headline of this beta is the introduction of entirely new mechanics. In the oceans, you can now encounter the Nautilus and its aggressive kin, the Zombie Nautilus. Both can be tamed and used as underwater mounts by equipping special armor. Riding applies a new effect, “Nautilus Breath,” which stops oxygen consumption underwater.

There are additions on land too: in plains and savannas, Zombie Horses now spawn alongside zombie riders. The player arsenal also expands with the Spear — a new weapon type featuring unique attack mechanics, including a powerful dash and an area strike.

Key features of the update

• Nautilus: A neutral sea mob found in all oceans. Tamed with a Pufferfish. With a saddle, it lets you ride underwater and attack with a dash. Takes suffocation damage on land.

• Zombie Nautilus: An aggressive counterpart that spawns near Drowned. Tamed like a regular Nautilus, but initially hostile if it has a rider.

• Nautilus Armor: Five protection tiers for your new mount, from copper to netherite. Fits both regular and zombie nautilus.

• Nautilus Breath: A useful effect that completely stops oxygen loss while riding the Nautilus underwater.

• Zombie Horse: A new horse type that spawns with a zombie rider. Tames like a normal horse but prefers red mushrooms. Cannot breed.

• Spear: A new weapon type available in 7 material variants. Its key feature is two attack modes. A short press triggers a low-damage Area Strike; a long press activates Dash, with damage scaling by speed, material, and charge stage. There’s even a special “Lunge” enchantment.

Version parity and bug fixes

The developers continue to align Bedrock and Java. This patch adjusts critical hit sounds to match Java Edition. It also fixes 21 bugs. Highlights include:

• Fixed an issue where swimming sounds played during underwater flight.
• ALT + F4 now closes the game properly instead of just pausing.
• Hoppers now have a cooldown when pushed by a piston to prevent item duping.
• Fixed mouse and keyboard input latency on PC.
• Camels can now dash while in water.

Beta 1.21.130.20 looks promising, adding depth to underwater exploration and new tactics for land combat. With its nuanced mechanics, the spear is sure to win fans.
