Season 1: Cloudy Climb - 1.12.0.0 Patch Notes
Seasonal Adventures have come to Minecraft Dungeons, with Season 1: Cloudy Climb! This release brings new features like the Tower and an all-new reward progression system. Join weekly challenges to earn Adventure Points and work towards unlocking exclusive rewards, with each new season bringing new rewards, from precious pets and fashionable flairs to emphatic emotes and captivating cosmetics.
The Tower is a new gameplay area, available for all players as part of the free Cloudy Climb update.
In the Tower, the player controls an avatar: a character that initially has no gear, but slowly collects it through a selection of rewards you earn as you progress. The Tower itself has 30 different floors, with each one harder than the previous one, and the goal is to make it as high up as you possibly can for the best rewards!
The Tower is home to both familiar mobs and bosses from Minecraft Dungeons - but also a few new foes as well. Not all Tower inhabitants are hostile and some of them will help you along your way up by modifying the gear that you collect. They can increase the power of it, upgrade it to a unique variant, or gild it.
The Tower's floors will change every few weeks, which gives you a limited window to master its current layout.
Seasonal Adventure Rewards and Progression:
A new progression system has been added to Minecraft Dungeons, allowing new cosmetic rewards to be unlocked, including capes, emotes, pets, flairs, and skins.
Adventure Points are gained through regular gameplay or by completing weekly challenges in the game. The more points you earn, the higher your Adventure Rank becomes, unlocking even greater rewards.
Accessing the Adventure Hub from The Camp allows you to see your current progress towards rewards and challenges. There is a free track of rewards that is available to all players, as well as a premium track that is available to those who purchase the Season 1 Adventure Pass.
New Achievements:
With this release, you'll discover and unlock 10 new achievements during your adventures!

Cloudy Climb launching Dec 14
Toot the hype horns! Play a tune on the anticipation accordion! Collect yourself and read every word in this article! There’s a windy announcement to be shared, and it’s all about Cloudy Climb.
Not the type of cloudy climb that is my getting-out-of-bed-half-asleep-every-morning challenge, but Minecraft Dungeons’ first Seasonal Adventure. At Minecraft Live, we shared some information about what is to come, and today, we’re excited to announce that this free update will launch on December 14. Yay!
[previewyoutube="gJIpF7PAjaE;full"]
There’s plenty of reason to be excited! Cloudy Climb will introduce new, free content that includes an all-new progression system, weekly challenges, and a looming tower that–whether you like it or not –loves to rearrange itself whenever it gets an opportunity. Typical procedurally generated tower behavior, but also the perfect place to test your skills and to acquire Adventure Points!
Adventure Points allow you unlock seasonal rewards such as adorable pets, dazzling capes, colorful flairs, and entertaining emotes that offer new ways of communicating with your fellow players. I for one plan to be the cringiest member of my party and dab emote to my heart’s content. If it’s there, why not use it?
And for those of you who simply can’t get enough of these rewards, there’s a second, premium reward track with additional goodies, which can be unlocked by purchasing the Adventure Pass. These rewards have no impact on gameplay, but boy do they look shiny! Er, well, unless you plan on using the Ender skin.
For more juicy information, sneak peaks, and fancy photos of our upcoming content, head over to the Minecraft Dungeons website. See you in December when the adventure continues!
