Structures
Trading Post
Trading posts are wooden towers which are found in plains and other similar biomes. They have villagers living in them and have 2 chests in the top, containing mostly emeralds and enchanted leather armor.
Captured Trading Post
Captured trading posts are trading posts which have been captured by illagers. They are very dangerous, but have better loot than normal trading posts.
Ruins
Ruins are the remains of ancient structures. They are rare and are found in most biomes. They have 2 chests with low-quality loot.

Desert Dungeon
Desert dungeons are massive structures which spawn deep under desert biomes. They have a huge amount of loot, but they have many monster spawners and a new kind of skeleton.

Evoker Tower
Evoker towers are stone towers which appear in plains and other similar biomes. They have high-quality enchanted loot and a new boss, the Archevoker, spawns in the top of the tower.
Weapons

Daggers
Daggers are very cheap to craft. They deal low damage but have a very fast attack speed. They also have a new enchantment, Bloodthirsting, which gives them a lifesteal ability.
Greataxes
Greataxes are expensive to craft, have extremely high damage, and a slow attack speed.
Warhammers
Warhammers are the most expensive weapon type to craft. They have a slow attack speed and lower damage than greataxes, but they can hit multiple mobs with a critical strike.
They have a special enchantment called Bludgeoning which boosts the damage of the critical strike attack.
