Minecraft Dungeons:Clam Launcher

The Clam is an upcoming non-alive mob in Minecraft Dungeons that will be available with the release of the Hidden Depths DLC. It’s central role appears to be to bounce the player to high places that can’t be reached with a normal jump. The player walks on top of it, it shakes and then it’s mouth bursts open, flinging the player to a piece of land that is out of their reach. It has the same function as the Piston Launchpads seen in the Obsidian Pinnacle, ???, Overgrown Temple, Frosted Fjord, Lost Settlement and the Gale Sanctum.

Trivia

 * Clams are seen centrally near the end of the most recent video and are even named in the developer post with the video.
 * In the video, they are referred as Clam Launcher though it is unknown if that is their official name.
