Overview

The short answer: to get Wind Charge you get it as a drop from Breeze mobs in Trial Chambers, in Trial Chambers (deep underground). Depth matters here — the relevant Y-level range is Y -40 to -20. Finding Wind Charge is rated hard (4/5): expect a real expedition: the right dimension, structure, or mob has to line up first.

Where to Find Wind Charge
Wind Charge is associated with Trial Chambers (deep underground). Vertically it is tied to the Y -40 to -20 range, which is the band you want to be mining or exploring in rather than wandering at random depths. The relevant structure, a Trial Chamber, generates deep underground in the Overworld and is built from copper, tuff, and exposed blocks of these materials — a useful visual cue while caving. The Breeze is a hostile mob that spawns from Trial Spawners in Trial Chambers. Trial Chambers generate deep underground with copper and tuff construction. In total, Wind Charge can reach your inventory through collecting it as a mob drop and looting it from generated structure chests, so you can pick whichever path your current world makes easiest.

Best Way to Get Wind Charge
The most reliable way to get Wind Charge is to craft it at a Crafting Table from Breeze Rod, which yields 4 per craft, because crafting is repeatable and does not depend on luck. Before you can craft it, gather the ingredients: Breeze Rod (kill a Breeze in a Trial Chamber). Wind Charges can be thrown to create a wind burst that knocks back entities and activates redstone components. Can be used for advanced parkour: throw at the ground beneath you to launch upward. Since this comes from a mob, the Looting enchantment on your sword raises the drop rate, and building or finding a dedicated spawn area turns a one-off kill into a renewable farm. It stacks to 64, so a single mining or crafting session can comfortably bank a chest's worth for later projects. Worth noting on the version side: Added in 1.21 (Tricky Trials Update).
