Breeze mob in Minecraft

The Breeze is the jumping wind spirit of Trial Chambers. It hops around the room and fires wind charges that throw you back, and arrows simply bounce off it. Fight it up close, and kill it yourself: it is the only source of breeze rods, which you need for the mace.

Where to find Breeze

Doesn’t spawn naturally in a biome: it comes from a structure, a spawner, a block or an event.

Where you meet a Breeze

A Breeze never spawns in the open world. It only comes out of Trial Spawners in Trial Chambers, usually in a large room where it has space to jump around. Clearing the spawner's wave, Breezes included, is what earns you its reward.

How a Breeze fights

A Breeze does not walk: it leaps from spot to spot to keep its distance, then fires a wind charge. The burst hurts a little, but its real danger is the knockback. It can throw you off a ledge, into a pit or back towards another mob, and it can launch you upwards for a hard landing. The Breeze itself never takes fall damage, so it does not mind heights.

Why arrows do not work

Arrows and other projectiles bounce off a Breeze. Leave the bow and the crossbow for the other mobs of the chamber and bring a melee weapon.

Stay close. Each time it jumps away, close the gap again. Up close, it cannot use its range.
Hit its wind charges back. A wind charge can be deflected with a well-timed hit, like a Ghast fireball, and sent back at the Breeze.
Keep your back to a wall, not to a drop, so the knockback has nowhere to send you.

Breeze rods: why you want them

A Breeze killed by a player drops one or more Breeze Rods. They have three uses:

One rod crafts four wind charges, which you can throw to launch yourself or push mobs.
A rod under a Heavy Core makes the mace, the weapon whose damage grows with your fall. The Heavy Core is a rare reward from the vaults opened with an Ominous Trial Key.
In an awkward potion, a rod brews the Potion of Wind Charging: a mob under its effect releases a wind burst when it dies.

The mace pairs well with the Wind Burst enchantment, which launches you up again after a hit.
