A shimmering key is an item added in 25w14craftmine in Java Edition.

Obtaining

Beating a special Mine will spawn a random shimmering key from the Mine Crafter block.

Alternatively, a player can obtain a specific Shimmering Key with /give <target> minecraft:shimmering_key[minecraft:instant_room={"structure": <structure>}], where <structure> is one of the structure presets created for this snapshot.

Usage

The shimmering key can be used on a Shimmering Door, which will open a menu. If given key is valid and there is space behind the door to spawn the room it is trying to create, it will then spawn a new room based on the key provided.

Structures

When a new shimmering key is spawned from the Mine Crafter block, it will come with one of these structure presets in its minecraft:instant_door component:

This happens if you use a key from the creative inventory or if there is no space to put the room

Trivia

• In the creative inventory, the Shimmering Key is in the Functional Blocks tab, despite being an item.
• Manually spawning a new Shimmering Key item with a valid minecraft:instant_room component will allow the player to create a new room from a Shimmering Door, as long as there's enough space to place the room. The room created is entirely dependent on the value of the component--without it, the key will not work.
• The Shimmering Key appears to be a retextured Ominous Trial Key, but with 1 head instead of 3, a healthy coat of blue, less "evil" looking, and enchanted.
