Trial Key
Trial Key is the mob drop from Trial Spawners, used to unlock Vaults and collect per-player loot in Trial Chambers.

Description
Trial Key is the primary currency of Trial Chambers — the underground structures introduced in Java 1.21. Each Trial Spawner that completes its wave of mobs has a chance to reward nearby players with a key. The chance per mob is moderate rather than guaranteed, so clearing a full chamber typically yields one to two keys per player depending on the room's size and mob count.
The key has a single purpose: inserting it into a Vault block. When a player interacts with a Vault while holding the key, the block opens and ejects a loot bundle directly at the player's feet. The event is irreversible and tied to the player's account — the key is consumed and the same Vault never awards the same player twice. Keys cannot be crafted and have no other use, so each one earned represents exactly one reward claim. Players seeking the Heavy Core for Mace crafting need enough keys to open multiple Vaults before locating the Ominous Vault that holds it.
