Mounts of Mayhem challenges

Challenge 1: Spear Mayhem 

Defeat five mobs with a spear in Survival mode, Bedrock Edition.

Reward: Zombie Horse Cape – available both in Bedrock and Java!

The spear is the latest weapon to be added to the Minecraft arsenal. It can be wielded in both melee and mounted combat thanks to its jab and charge attacks. However, that’s easier said than done, so what better way to get familiar with its mechanics than through a challenge that rewards you with a fancy cape? Giddy-up!

Challenge 2: Spawn Mounts

The title says it all – you need to spawn zombie horses, and a bunch of them at that! 75 MILLION to be precise. Don’t worry: this challenge is a community effort, meaning that everyone can contribute to the goal. Wish I had known that before I spawned 75 million copper golems in my world… 

Reward: Zombie Horse Onesie – available both as a Character Creator item and Java skin! Will be awarded to everyone if the goals are met before the deadline, regardless of participation. 

How do you spawn a zombie horse? Easy! Just jump into Creative mode in Bedrock Edition, locate and pick up the zombie horse spawn egg  through the Creative inventory, then start spawning them to your heart’s content! 

The challenges will run from Friday Dec 12, 8:00 AM PT to Monday Dec 15, 10:00 AM PT, so start sharpening your aim and prepping your inventory with spawn eggs! We ride at dawn! 

*Participation in the challenges requires Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (sold separately). In-game Bedrock rewards require Bedrock Edition; in-game Java rewards require Java Edition. If the community meets the Spawn Mounts Challenge, all Bedrock players receive the Bedrock reward and Java players receive the Java reward. Delivery of rewards may take up to 30 days. Spear Mayhem Challenge requires individual player participation to earn the cape. 1 of each reward per person/account, available until December 14, 2027. Terms apply: https://aka.ms/zombie-horse-cape
