Making the Tricky Trials Update 1000% Worse [1.21]

The new Minecraft update, Tricky Trials, is coming out with a bunch of new stuff. So I ruined it with a mod. To add to the confusion this mod is called Tricky Trails.

I’d love to see a trial ruins in the base game. These are kind of self explanatory, and they could probably have some kind of broken spawners that spawn random mobs that already usually spawn in trial chambers, there could also probably be a new boss here and some other fun features. Edit: it would be even cooler if you had to make “cores of ruin” or smth by combining a heavy core and 4 breeze charges to get 8 “cores of ruin”

since the potion is just a reskinned witch, you could instead change the bottle into an enemy that chases you and tries to jump at you. when it breaks it dies, and releases the potion effect inside it

[@PLAYER42_ready]

It’s always a great century when eight sided square uploads!

[@shamaunalfred1834]

True

[@MiningMiner27]

Make a light core that can emit light and can also make a light mace which also emits light, but also deals much less damage (like 10 hits for half a heart) and barely has any knockback. But you can hold down the mouse to make it swing faster and faster (it has a limit), and it isn't affected by the damage cooldown to make it a very fast attacking weapon which can drain your health bar in seconds! Too bad the durability will drain down as well.

Ok but making you drag it behind you is really cool visually, imagine it did that by using two breeze rods, and it had a slow swing speed, slowed your movement speed, and nerfed your jump height, but also had deceptive range and incredible power that also blew opponents back. Essentially make it a maul that you use like a Dark Souls boss of something.
