Today we're not talking about a new Java snapshot or a new bedrock preview because we already got one earlier this week. Instead, we're taking a look at the new Minecraft Monthly video that has revealed some important Minecraft 1.21 information. In today's episode, Mojang finally revealed the functionality of the test key item we've known about for a while, and it's different than most people speculated. So with that, let's check out what the test key unlocks in Minecraft 1.21.
Minecraft 1.21 | Test key usage, the test vault block
The Trial Key is an item that you can obtain by completing audition challenges or destroying decorated pots. Its use was not initially announced and many believed that the key opened some kind of door. But it has now been confirmed that what the test key opens is a new block. Yes, that's right, sample keys open the vault block in Minecraft 1.21.
Vault is a block with a texture similar to the sample spawner due to the colors and flame particles inside. It has a face-like feature on the front, which opens the "mouth" when unlocked. How do you unlock it? Well, with the test key of course, probably by right clicking.
When you right-click on the vault, the block will shoot out rewards, such as armor, tools, and horse armor.
