Minecraft Dungeons:Daily Trial

A Daily Trial is a daily challenge $$ that alters the game mechanics to create a new environment for heroes to overcome and obtain exclusive equipment. They consist of existing locations with a set of positive and negative modifiers. Daily trials rotate every day at midnight in local time.

An active internet connection and, for Nintendo Switch users, a connected Microsoft Account is required to fetch new trials every day upon logging into the game. Trials do not refresh until the game is reopened.

Accessible from the Mission Selection Map as green icons classified into I, II and III, two daily trials are available on the Mainland map per day and one per owned DLC on the Island Realms and Other Dimensions maps. Daily Trials can be played in both Online and Offline Games, alone or with friends. They randomly appear in all levels except for, , , , , and. Each hero can complete a Daily Trial once per day per difficulty (default, adventure, or apocalypse), regardless of threat level. Joining another hero that has not completed the trial or returning to camp before finishing the trial, allows that trial to be played again.

Daily Trials drop and reward upon completion weapons, armor, and artifacts of higher power levels ranges than what would be available in regular gameplay and are weighted to higher rarities. The "early" increase in power can ease the initial difficulty spike when transitioning between default, adventure, and apocalypse difficulties.

In "apocalypse plus" threat levels, trials can prove particularity difficult with certain modifier sets combined with the vast abundance of.

Seasonal trials can only appear in the mainland.
