Minecraft Breeze

Minecraft breeze: trial chambers and breeze rods

The breeze is a hostile mob made of wind that only comes from certain trial spawners in trial chambers. Those spawners are surrounded by chiseled tuff, only generate in combat rooms, never in corridors, and there is at most one per room, usually in the center. On top of that, a breeze can only spawn where it has line of sight to its spawner.

It fights at range, firing wind charges at any target within 16 blocks, roughly one every second and a half. A direct hit hurts, but the wind burst itself only pushes, and the real danger is usually the fall. That wind also flips non-iron doors and trapdoors, presses buttons and levers and puts out candles, which matters a lot in chambers full of dispensers.

It moves by leaping: it squashes down like a spring and jumps up to 15 blocks across and 5 up, and it takes no fall damage. The most awkward part is that it deflects every projectile that hits it except wind charges, sending them back at the same speed. Arrows are useless against it, so you have to close in and fight in melee. Its own wind charges can also be knocked back by hitting them.

It is worth the trouble because it is the only source of breeze rods, used to craft wind charges and the mace. On death it gives 10 experience. It leaves trial spawner mobs such as zombies and skeletons alone, but it does go after iron golems.
