How to get Heavy Cores in Minecraft and how to use them

Heavy Cores are a brand new addition to the Minecraft 1.21 update Here’s everything we know about the block and its various uses in the game.

Heavy Core is a Special Block added in the Tricky Trials update that lets you craft the Mace which is a brand-new tool similar to shovels or pickaxes added for the first time since the game’s inception.

While the primary use of the Heavy Core is to craft the Mace, it might be quite hard to come by as it’s only found in certain locations but we’ve got you covered with exactly where to find them.

How to find Heavy Cores in Minecraft?

Heavy Cores are extremely hard to come by so here’s a step-by-step guide on how to find them:

• Heavy Cores can be found in Minecraft by opening Vaults using Trial Keys.
• Vaults are special blocks that resemble spawners and are only found within Trial Chambers.
• The first step in finding a Heavy Core is to locate a trial chamber. These chambers generate between layers -20 and -40 in the Overworld.
• Since they do not have any surface indicators, you can go to a cartographer village and buy a trial explorer map that marks the location of nearby trial chambers.
• Once you have found a trial chamber, the next objective is to find a Trial Key. You can do this by taking out Trial Spawners who have a 50% chance of dropping the key.
• Once you get the Trial Key, you can proceed to open the vault.
• However, this is where the hard part comes in as locating a vault doesn’t guarantee a Heavy Core since it only has a 2.2% drop rate.
• That being said, once a vault has been opened, you will have to find another one if you don’t end up finding a Heavy Core in there.

How to use a Heavy Core in Minecraft?

The primary use of Heavy Cores is to craft a Mace. All you need to do for this is to use the Heavy Block with the Breeze Rod. It is important to note that Breeze rods are items exclusively dropped by the Breeze mob found in the Trial Chambers.
