Minecraft Dungeons: 5 features worth knowing about in the Seasonal Adventures/Cloudy Climb update

5) New cosmetics are here

Thanks to the new rewards being added as rewards for Cloudy Climb in Minecraft Dungeons (both free and paid via the Adventure Pass), several new cosmetics are now available.

These include capes, pets, emotes, and even new flairs, which activate when the hero performs certain actions, such as being healed or leveling up. Players can earn many of these through the current Battle-Pass, like tiers of the Seasonal Adventure's new rewards system.

Minecraft Dungeons already had a large number of playable heroes on its roster, but Cloudy Climb's implementation has boosted that number even higher. A total of ten new heroes have been added for players, though three will have to be unlocked first via the new Adventure Pass.

When it comes to popular multiplayer games, Battle-Pass style unlocking is currently a pretty consistent feature. Whether gamers are enjoying Fortnite, Halo Infinite, or countless other titles, Battle Passes have taken the industry by storm.

It appears as though Minecraft Dungeons is following suit with the Adventure Pass. Sporting both free and premium tracks, players can complete challenges and unlock rewards, including the aforementioned cosmetics.

2) The Tower

The most prominent feature in this Minecraft Dungeons update is the new Tower structure. It can be accessed from a hero's camp and presents a new singleplayer game experience.

Over the course of 30 floors, players will control an avatar that begins with no gear and slowly acquires it, as it makes its way through the floors. The Tower is also tied to the Adventure Pass, meaning players will want to focus on it to receive maximum benefits. The Tower will also change the contents of its floors occasionally, ensuring some replayability and novelty to boot.

1) Cloudy Climb is the first of many

Since Cloudy Climb is only Season One of the new Seasonal Adventures, Minecraft Dungeons players should gear up and get ready for more Seasonal Adventures to come. Each will likely retain its own theme, much like Cloudy Climb has, and include more time-limited challenges and rewards that should keep heroes on their toes for the foreseeable future.
