These features seek to add new elements of adventure, making good use of unused enchants like bane of arthropods, and adding new features to make the game feel a little more enchanted. Potion brewing is essential, for the new venomous spider is a tough bug to swat, taking three hits with a netherite sword to defeat; one bite form the spider may be fatal. Be sure to stop by in the glimmering forest for an enchanting night and gorgeous sights, and don't forget to watch out for onyx geodes, because they only spawn in this biome.
