description: First we mine, then we craft.
encoded: Perhaps the biggest gaming franchise of all time is set to break into the real world, as a Minecraft theme park has been announced by developer Mojang Studios. First released back in 2011, the sandbox game has gone on to sell hundreds of millions of copies worldwide and maintains an iron grip on the attention of the world's children. Now, following on from the blockbuster success of last year's A Minecraft Movie, Minecraft developer Mojang has confirmed that players will soon be able to experience the game in the real world. As part of the recent Minecraft Live event, Mojang and UK-based Merlin Entertainments revealed Minecraft World, the world's first Minecraft theme park. Under development at London's Chessington World of Adventures, Minecraft World is set to feature a variety of experiences inspired by the game including a Minecraft coaster, biomes, mobs and items from the game, interactive moments and more. On the project, Minecraft senior creative director of entertainment Torfi Frans Ólafsson said: "Minecraft World represents a meaningful milestone in our ongoing journey to expand the Minecraft universe," adding that it will be "a place where you can literally be in the Minecraft Overworld and have an adventure of your own with your family and friends". Merlin Entertainments SVP of global brand Angela Jobson echoed these sentiments, stating that "Minecraft World will allow friends and families to play, explore and craft together on a truly epic scale. "Working closely with Mojang Studios we are meticulously creating an authentic world that the global community of Minecraft fans will want to immerse themselves in and experience the game in a whole new way." Minecraft World is scheduled to open at Chessington World of Adventures in 2027.

description: When will Hytale come out?
encoded: Following years of ups and downs, Hytale has gone from a Minecraft server to a fully-fledged game, and it's about to release into early access. After being cancelled by Riot Games last year, it looked like curtains for the project, but it's been resurrected, and its dedicated fans will finally be able to try it out for themselves. But when will Hytale come out? Here's what you need to know about the Hytale release date, UK launch time, how to download it and more. Hytale early access release date and UK release time Hytale comes out in early access on 13th January 2026, on PC, at 3pm GMT here in the UK. For any non-UK readers, here's what time the game comes out in your time zone: US West Coast (PST) – 7am US Mountain (MST) – 8am US Central (CST) – 9am US East Coast (EST) – 10am Central Europe (CET) – 4pm Singapore (SGT) – 11pm Japan (JST) – 12am, 14th January Australia East Coast (AEDT) – 2am, 14th January New Zealand (NZDT) – 4am, 14th January The game was officially cancelled in June 2025, with publisher Riot Games closing developer Hypixel Studios. In November 2025, however, Hypixel founder Simon Collins-Laflamme confirmed that he had re-acquired the rights to Hytale, and that a number of developers had been re-hired with the intent of continuing development. How to get Hytale early access explained Unlike many early access PC titles, Hytale will not be released on Steam during early access. Instead, players can pre-purchase the game via the official Hytale website, with three different editions available, each with their own perks. Alongside early access, the Standard Edition includes a username reservation, as well as several armour sets, and costs $23.99 – there is no regional pricing, so you'll have to pay whatever the conversion is into your currency. The Supporter Edition ($41.99) and Cursebreaker Edition ($83.99) both include everything available in the lower tiers, as well as extra armour sets, and exclusive Supporter and Cursebreaker Capes to flaunt you…

description: Who let the dogs out?
encoded: For the longest time, Minecraft only played host to one type of wolf (or dog, if you prefer), but with a 2024 update, that all changed! There are now a whopping nine different wolf types you can collect, each of which is found in a different biome. You can check out the video above for a look at all nine Minecraft wolves and where to find them, or simply read on for the full list! New Minecraft wolves and dog variants explained Eight new wolf variants are now available in Minecraft, as promised on the game’s official website. Add those eight to the original one, and you now have a total of nine dogs/wolves to collect in Minecraft! If you haven't already watched the video atop this page, you can look at them all in the handy little gallery below. View Gallery on the source website Going forward, the game’s original wolf will be classified as the Pale Wolf. The complete list of Minecraft wolves/dogs is as follows: The Pale Wolf The Rusty Wolf The Spotted Wolf The Black Wolf The Striped Wolf The Snowy Wolf The Ashen Wolf The Woods Wolf The Chestnut Wolf Adding to that news, the post stated that wolf armour will also be introduced. This customisable feature will absorb all enemy damage before breaking, which will be handy in a scrape. The creatures are also set to have 40 hearts of health, instead of 20, when fully grown. Where can I find the new wolf variants in Minecraft? Locations explained Now that they have been unleashed into the block-laden wilds of Minecraft, you are probably going to want to track them down, aren’t you? Well, read on to find out where each one can be found. The Pale Wolf can be found in the taiga biome. The Rusty Wolf can be found in the jungle vines. The Spotted Wolf can be found in the savanna plateau. The Black Wolf can be found in the old growth pine taiga. The Striped Wolf can be found in the woodland badlands. The Snowy Wolf can be found, surprisingly, in the snowy groves. The Ashen Wolf can be found in the snowy taiga. The Woods Wolf can…

Included is a huge improvement to horses that players have been begging Mojang to include since they were added to the game way back in 2013. But players won’t be the only ones to benefit from riding horseback (or other creatures-back, as we’ll get into), as certain mobs can get on the saddle to wreak high-speed carnage like never before, with a new weapon to boot. Will it result in something as iconic as the immortal and timeless Chicken Jockey? We’ll see, but we won’t know until the Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem update, and on that note, read on! When is the Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem release date? The Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem release date is Tuesday 9th December. With the holiday season upon us, we’ll hopefully have plenty of time to dive deep into the update. Perhaps an epic quest across the Overworld on our newly upgraded horses? More on that below! When is the Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem launch time? Minecraft updates typically launch around 4pm GMT, but this has varied in recent times. With this in mind, we would recommend a couple hours' window before and after this time to err on the side of caution. Hopefully, it should be out in time for you coming home from work or school! For other time zones, you might expect to see the Mounts of Mayhem update go live at the following times, give or take a few hours US West Coast (PST) – 8am US Mountain (MST) – 9am US Central (CST) – 10am US East Coast (EST) – 11am Brazil (BRT) – 1pm Central Europe (CET) – 5pm South Africa (SAST) – 6pm UAE (GST) – 8pm Singapore (SGT) – 12am 10th December Japan (JST) – 1am 10th December Australia East Coast (AEDT) – 3am 10th December New Zealand (NZDT) – 5am View Riddle on the source website What to expect from Minecraft’s Mounts of Mayhem update 1.21.11 As you would expect from its name, the …

description: No prizes for guessing who.
encoded: To nobody's surprise, the Minecraft Movie has turned out to be one of the biggest cinema events of the year. Since premiering a couple of months ago, the film based on the hit video game has raked in nearly $1 billion at the box office, marking the latest in a slew of big screen gaming adaptations. And one of its leading stars appears to be staying on the gaming train, with them reportedly being earmarked to star in a new Street Fighter adaptation. Now, if you had to pick one of the stars of the Minecraft Movie to join the cast of a Street Fighter film, there's only one name you're going to choose, and you would be right – it's Jason Momoa. According to Deadline, the Game of Thrones actor is reportedly set to join the project alongside wrestler and actor Roman Reigns, as well as Andrew Koji (Bullet Train) and Noah Centineo (Warfare), with all of the actors currently in talks. Allegedly a co-production between Street Fighter developer Capcom and Legendary Pictures, it will mark the latest in a series of adaptations of the iconic fighting game series. The most notable of these is undoubtedly 1994's Street Fighter, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Kylie Minogue and Raúl Juliá, which earned a respectable $100 million at the box office despite being almost universally panned by critics. Since the start of the year, multiple big screen adaptations of video games have been confirmed, including Split Fiction, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and even an adaptation of Sega arcade game OutRun starring Sydney Sweeney. View Green Video on the source website Undoubtedly, the biggest adaptation currently in the works is The Legend of Zelda movie that is set for a 2027 release, while on the small screen, fans are already clamouring for news on The Last of Us season 3. Despite a history of poor video game adaptations, recent adaptations appear to be righting those wrongs. Does that mean this Street Fighter film will be any good? Maybe not, but in the context of previous Street Fighter a…

encoded: Minecraft is at its best when you can get to building and exploring, but you can't do that all the time - at least not without the help of villagers. Your Minecraft villagers allow you to purchase all sorts of things from high-end gear to food and and maps, letting you focus on the exploring your Minecraft seed in peace. We've got a quick overview of all the available Minecraft villager jobs in the video above, but for a more details look at each one and how to get them for your world, read on! How many villager jobs are there in Minecraft? There are currently 15 villager jobs for Minecraft characters. Well, sort of. There are many villagers with jobs, but one of the jobs listed is 'Unemployed' and the other is 'Nitwit'. Unemployed means they can be hired for a job, whereas Nitwits can't do anything and are essentially pointless, bless 'em. The other 13 are Armorer, Butcher, Cartographer, Cleric, Farmer, Fisherman, Fletcher, Leatherworker, Librarian, Mason, Shepherd, Toolsmith and Weaponsmith. Minecraft villager jobs and professions Now, let's take a closer look at all those jobs the Minecraft characters do and what they can help you out with. The job blocks have their own section a little further down the page. Armourer Visit an Armourer to buy chainmail or, perhaps unsurprisingly, armour. The clue is in the name with a lot of these. Even better, an expert-level Armorer will let you obtain enchanted Diamond Armor piece - not bad, eh? Butcher Would you be surprised to learn you can buy meat from the Butcher? Well, you can but that's not all as they will also be able to trade emeralds with you – a fancy Butcher then! This is the perfect place to get heaps of food quickly, and for a pretty good price as well. If you're planning on heading out exploring, it's worth coming here first to stock up. Cartographer Want to get your hand on a map or two? Head on down to the Cartographer who will sort you out. You can also get banner patterns here. More than just a way of findi…

Recent updates like Pale Garden have added all sorts of new content to the game, with more wolf variations and even armadillos joining the fun.

Archipelago Seed: 124014738 One of the simpler ones is this, and a good place to start.

The upgrade, titled Vibrant Visuals, will be the first step in overhauling the game's graphics, something fans have been asking about for years. Vibrant Visuals will first arrive in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition in the coming months on "compatible devices" and, while it'll have no impact on actual gameplay, it'll certainly change the experience of the game as a whole. Also announced was the new Drop, which is coming on 25th March. The Spring to Life Drop will include new variants of older mobs, and will add various new sounds to blocks, including sounds for wind and scattering sand. View oEmbed on the source website Other announcements included The Ghastling, which introduces a new way for mobs to behave in the game, the Happy Ghast, the newest mount coming to the game, and a demonstration of the Locator Bar, which will help to locate other players.

encoded: The long-delayed Minecraft movie, officially titled A Minecraft Movie, is finally coming this year, with Jack Black, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks and Jennifer Coolidge set to bring the pixelated world to life on the big screen. An adaption of the popular video game of the same name – which became the best-selling game in the world back in 2023 after hitting 300m sales – the film revolves around Momoa's character Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison and his three other misfit mates as they get "suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination", according to the official synopsis. The first trailer for the live-action movie was released back in September, giving fans a first look at the cast in action, but it’s fair to say it didn’t quite get the reaction the creative team were hoping for, with fans taking aim at the film’s visual style and tone. Responding to the backlash, director Jared Hess told IGN later in 2024: "I mean, look, we knew this game represents so many different things to so many different people." He continued: "We knew that whatever we led out with, there was going to be strong opinions across the spectrum of what people were expecting, what they wanted it to be. Everybody brings their own special personal connection to the game. So we were ready for everything.” Wondering when the movie is expected to land and what else it's set to entail? Read on for everything you need to know. A Minecraft Movie release date A Minecraft Movie is set to be released in cinemas on Friday 4th April 2025. It was previously scheduled to be released on 4th March 2022, but the date was pushed back as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The film was then hit by further delays in 2023 due to the SAG-AFTRA strike but, with production having wrapped in April 2024, the movie looks all set to stay on track for its April 2025 release date.

description: Kicking gaming polls up a notch.
encoded: With the Minecraft movie coming out in April 2025, the sandbox game has been on the minds of players even more than usual, but the new poll taken by Notch, its creator, essentially announcing Minecraft 2 is still a huge surprise. While creating the best-selling video game of all time, Markus Alexej Persson (aka Notch), founder of Minecraft developer Mojang Studios, has been more under the radar by comparison over the last decade. After becoming exhausted by the attention and pressure of heading both Mojang and Minecraft, selling his 71 per cent stake to Microsoft for $2.5 billion in late 2014, the Swedish video game programmer has only since worked on small projects with mixed success. Right at the start of 2025, however, Notch has brought himself back to the forefront of the community by gauging interest in a "spiritual successor thing to Minecraft" on the below X (formerly Twitter) post. While working on his next game, Perrson's first post goes into his thinking that he wants to do some "market research", asking via a poll what would make players happier: a new yet traditional roguelike game or a Minecraft 2. View oEmbed on the source website Five days later, at the time of writing, the poll has so far earned almost 287,000 votes, with 81.5 per cent in favour of the "make Minecraft 2 boomer" option. Although, it was his response to a user's question in a following post thread on 3rd January in which Notch fully clarified his intentions. "I basically announced Minecraft 2," says Notch. "My intentions are to be clear and honest about it, saying that spiritual successors are usually kind of... you know... washed up. Tragic. "The things I'm fearing my next game is going to be anyway and try to push myself to avoid. So why not do the thing that people DO want and are willing to give me, somehow, even MORE cash for." Notch doesn't appear to be a fan of the direction Microsoft's taken the franchise over the years, judging from his unique phrasing towards the end of the s…

If you've just woken up from a deep slumber under a large rock, allow us to explain that Minecraft is a sandbox-style game that blends building and survival to addictive effect. It's been gathering admirers in droves since its initial launch in 2011. If you're already a Minecraft fan, we're not gonna miss the opportunity to tell you that we've covered the game quite a lot here at RadioTimes.com. We've got guides to the best Minecraft seeds, all the Minecraft villager jobs, and a whole lot more for you to read. So, are your eyes ready to witness one of the mostly brightly-coloured and barmy trailers that you're likely to see this year? Alrighty then. Check out the Minecraft movie trailer below! View oEmbed on the source website How about that introduction for Jack Black's Steve, am I right? Joining him and Momoa in the cast are Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen and Jennifer Coolidge (the latter of which is a particularly brilliant shout from the casting directors). The official press release confirms that the Minecraft movie's story will see "four misfits" being "suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination". "To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve. "Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative… the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world." Whether you're a Jack Black fan or not, it's hard to deny that the trailer does capture the Minecraft vibe pretty well. From the blocky-headed creatures, to…

encoded: What is it with games and campfires? They always seem so important. The Minecraft campfire is no different. Crafting a campfire in Minecraft will help you to survive in a number of ways. You can cook food at a campfire, they produce light (perfect in a cave!), can melt snow, and can act as a guide to show you how to get back somewhere. You can even place a campfire under a beehive or bee nest to harvest honey without getting stung. Talk about useful. Fortunately, making a campfire is a fairly simple process, if you know what to do and which materials you need. Keep reading to find out how to craft a campfire in Minecraft and how to put out a campfire – you may need to extinguish one, who are we to judge? View Green Video on the source website How to craft a campfire in Minecraft Here are the materials that you will need to gather which will then need to be placed onto your crafting table. Three wooden sticks One coal or one charcoal Three wooden blocks or logs As for how you will need to set them out in the crafting table, here's the order to add them. Open up the grafting grid set to 3x3 Add one stick in the top middle square, one in the middle left, and the other middle right. Add the coal right in the centre Now the three logs fill up the bottom row. Once the campfire is crafted, move it into your inventory section and that's it, all done! With regards to what you can do with a campfire, obviously, they produce light in an area which is their primary use but that's not their only reason for being. They can be used to melt snow, they can be a guide to show you how to get back somewhere, and you can even cook food on them. How to put out a campfire in Minecraft You can put out a campfire in Minecraft by throwing water onto it or by hitting it with a shovel. Using a shovel is probably the best way to extinguish a campfire, as you won't flood the surrounding area with water. Over on the official Minecraft website, the development team tells us that you can "place a t…

It was initially shown off to the world back in October 2023, and after a period of testing, it is set to be released. New weapons, fresh challenges, fearsome monsters and a whole load of new ways to decorate your armour and base are set to drop in the 1.21 update, but how long do we need to wait to get going in the blocky world? Read on for the full breakdown of when Minecraft’s 1.12 update is going to be released, plus a heap of information on what has been confirmed to be in it. When is the Minecraft 1.21 release date? The Minecraft 1.21 update, officially named Tricky Trials, is going to be available from 13th June 2024. A post on Minecraft’s official blog page confirmed this at the end of May after a period of speculation, and so fans have had a couple of weeks to prepare for the wave of new additions to the game. Although this was confirmed only recently, many of us predicted that the update would come in June, as the last two updates - The Wild and Trails and Tales - were both previously launched in June. What is the UK launch time for the new Minecraft update? No official release time has been confirmed by the game’s developer, Mojang. However, website Beebom has speculated that it will launch somewhere between 3pm and 6pm in the UK. If a time is confirmed, we will update this page accordingly.

description: Get your hands on the blocky world for free by following this handy Minecraft guide
encoded: If you're yet to try Minecraft out (have you been living under a blocky rock for the last 15 years?) you're in luck – you can try the game out for free! Available on a limited number of platforms, a free trial/demo version of the game can be enjoyed so you can happily try before you buy. There are many different versions of Minecraft: some paid, some that don't cost a penny. Any confusion is easily forgivable. Since the developer behind the worldwide phenomenon, Mojang Studios, is now owned by Microsoft, there are a lot of incentives to play on Xbox consoles, too. Then you have Xbox Game Pass to take into account that in a way, makes Minecraft free. So when people ask if Minecraft is free, it's hard to give a straightforward answer. Keep reading to find out how to play Minecraft for free and to see what platforms offer a free trial/demo version of the game. How to play Minecraft for free Minecraft can be played for free via your web browser by heading to classic.minecraft.net, with no need to download or install anything. This free version is the original Minecraft creative mode from all the way back in 2009 was made available as part of the 10th-anniversary celebrations but is still fully playable. Once a level has automatically been generated, you'll be given a shareable link allowing you to play with up to nine friends. From there, you simply create a username and press start to get going. It's easy to pick up too with the left-click on the mouse letting you place or mine blocks (right-click to toggle between the two) and move using WASD. As this is the original 2009 creative mode, it comes with all the game's limitations from the time. So don't expect any of the latest updates. There are no mobs present at all, there are only 32 blocks to build with, and all the original bugs are still present. There's also seemingly no way to save your game, so if you close the tab you'll lose all your retro recreations. It's obviously worth noting that this is a completely fre…

We’ll also take a look at what else is new in the patch notes, as there are quite a lot of changes made to the game. Be sure to check out the new wolf variants in detail, as you can find out where to find them if you want a veritable dog pack in your base. You won’t need to worry about leaving home if you’ve divided out the villager jobs to keep things ticking over until you get back. As armadillos are found in certain biomes, some Minecraft seeds may be better suited than others as they may provide more opportunities for finding your new scaly pals. There’s plenty to sink our teeth into so we’ll dilly-dally no more! Minecraft update today: What's changed in Bedrock?

Minecraft players have had plentiful new content to enjoy recently, with the addition of new wolves and dogs being fresh in the memory as well. So, when can you start using this Minecraft weapon? And is it any good? Keep on reading for all the key details on the Minecraft Mace. (Not to be confused with Mace Windu, who you'll find in the newly released Star Wars Battlefront: Classic Collection.) When is the Mace coming to Minecraft? The Mace is available right now for PC and console players of Minecraft. For Java players on PC, it's available in the latest Snapshot. And for Bedrock players on console, it's available via Minecraft Preview. Players using any of the other editions of Minecraft — or players that don't want to faff around with Snapshots or Previews — will have to wait until the big Minecraft 1.21 update launches across the board. The Minecraft 1.21 release date isn't confirmed yet, but June 2024 seems to be a common guess among fans online. Hopefully, you shouldn't have to wait too long for the Mace then! How to get the Mace in Minecraft To get the Mace in Minecraft, players first need to have the right version of the game installed. On the Java version for PC, players need to install Minecraft Snapshot 24W11A. The official Minecraft blog says, "To install the Snapshot, open up the Minecraft Launcher and enable Snapshots in the 'Installations' tab." Bedrock players on consoles need to have Minecraft Preview 1.20.80.22 installed before they can get the Mace. Note that Minecraft Preview is actually a different app, and there's a big FAQ page about setting it up if you haven't already. View Green Video on the source website Once you're sure that you're playing the right version of Minecraft, getting the Mace is actually quite simple!

encoded: The BBC is once again collaborating with Mojang's blocky craft-a-thon Minecraft, bringing an awesome educational experience to gamers. This time, the collaboration celebrates Planet Earth III, the latest season from the awe-inspiring Sir David Attenborough nature documentary series. BBC and Minecraft have joined forces in the past regarding a similar show, Frozen Planet II, which was massively successful - with millions of players over 116 countries. Love gaming? Listen to our podcast, One More Life! It's a collaboration that makes sense, with Minecraft being immensely popular with younger players. The version of the game used as a teaching aid in schools, called Minecraft Education, is a popular tool for learning through gameplay. It's been available since 2016, and it's used in classrooms across the globe. Planet Earth III Minecraft World, which launched on 16th January 2024, allows young gamers to interact with many of the subjects explored in the documentary. In creating a virtual world inspired by reality, this version of Minecraft teaches players about animals such as the great white shark, the Arctic wolf and leopards. Spawning in BBC Planet Earth III Field Station, players choose which world they want to explore, before taking control of its various animals. By actually playing as a certain creature, players learn first-hand what surviving in the wild is like for it. And by taking control of other animals, playing as both predator and prey, the whole ecosystem will become clear. "We are delighted to partner with Minecraft Education, and that children globally will have the opportunity to interact with stories inspired by the Planet Earth III series through immersive gameplay while learning more about our fragile natural world and the creatures we share this planet with," said Planet Earth III series producer Matt Brandon.

If you’ve never played the blocky game before and are looking to know where to start, you’re in the right place. Here’s how to play Minecraft. From the outside, Minecraft is a tricky game to know where to start. Knowing which console to play it on is a difficult enough choice given it’s now available on just about everything new and old – play on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One/Series X/S, PS4/PS5 or on PC/Mac for the full and most up-to-date experience. Love gaming? Listen to our podcast One More Life! Once you get into the game, you’ll need to know what mode to play, the best strategies to survive and more. It’s all a little overwhelming. Fortunately, we’re here to help you learn how to play Minecraft. Read on for our expert advice on the best tips for beginners of all ages and skill levels to get started in the game everyone’s still talking about. How to get Minecraft Before you can get around to playing Minecraft, you need to buy it and install it. As the game is available on many different platforms and appears in three different versions - Java, Bedrock, and Classic - you'll need to know what the differences are. Minecraft: Java Edition is available on PC only (Windows, macOS, and Linux). Bedrock Edition is the console version. If your friend plays on PC, you will want the PC version to play with them and if they play on a console, you will need the Bedrock Edition to play online with them. Classic is available to play for free and is a great place to start. It’s just the creative mode and is a web-browser version of the original release. There are no mobs to attack you or survival to worry about and just 32 blocks to use and craft. We recommend playing this free version at first for a taster session on the basics of the game’s movement and building. To make things more complicated still is the availability of Minecraft: Pocket Edition on smart device…

encoded: Minecraft is one of those games that is destined to live on until the end of time. It can be quite complicated for anyone jumping in, so that's where Minecraft console commands and cheats come into play. Ranging from simple options, like spawning items, to things you didn't even think were possible, such as changing the weather, cloning blocks, freezing time or even teleportation, it's a great way to experiment in the Overworld and let loose without the fear of causing major destruction - since these abilities are limited to specific places. What's worth knowing ahead of time is that Console Commands are essentially the cheat codes for Minecraft. They're super handy and worth knowing – likewise, these guides on how to tame a fox in Minecraft and how to enable ray-tracing in the block-builder. Anyway, sit back, relax and take the hard work out of crafting with these handy Minecraft commands and cheats. Head below for all the details. How to use Minecraft commands Firstly, as with most mods, these cheats are only available on PC, so console players will have to grind the old-fashioned way. Secondly, these can only be used on worlds where cheats are enabled - you'll be asked this when you create a world, or open a single-player game to LAN and select 'Allow Cheats'. With your cheat-enabled world ready and loaded, all you need to do is enter some commands now - with the first step to press the 'C' key to bring up the command bar. The command bar is where you'll enter the commands, and each one must be prefixed by a forward slash (/). You'll also have to choose targets to be the recipients of your cheats - but rather than type out full names, you can use this shorthand target selector shortcut: @p = nearest player @r = random player @a = all players @e = all entities @s = the entity executing the command That's the basics - now you just need to enter your desired cheat with the following console commands.

encoded: If you’re after a mighty steed to roam the blocky expanse with, you’ll be wanting to learn how to breed horses in Minecraft. It isn’t made entirely obvious how you can breed horses in the game but, fortunately for you, we just happen to be experts in the subject. Depending on what kinds of horses you breed in 2009 release, you will receive a different kind of foal. Once you know what to do, you can bring the horse of your dreams into the blocky world. There are benefits to stats and colour when breeding horses in Minecraft. Even if it were just to see the cute spindly foal roaming around your homestead, though, it's a task worth completing. If you're interested in how to breed horses in Minecraft, read on below to find out exactly that. How to breed horses in Minecraft explained To breed horses in Minecraft, you need to feed two tamed horses either golden apples or golden carrots. Feeding two tamed horses that are near each other golden carrots or golden apples will activate love mode. This leads to mating, which leads to a foal (baby horse) being born. No. We're not going into the Minecraft horse birds and bees. Ask your parents. You can breed a horse and a donkey together, too, to create mules. Mules cannot breed, though, so don’t even try it. After breeding two horses or a donkey and a horse, the foal they birth has its stats and colourings based on its parents. A bred foal’s stats, for instance, are taken as an average of those of its parents plus a random variation. The colour of your baby horse, donkey or mule, meanwhile, has an 11 per cent chance of a random base colour, plus a 20 per cent chance for random markings. If neither of those low percentage options are met, the colour of your foal will be based on the colour of one of its parents. Now, get out there and create the best Minecraft horse, donkey or mule you can.

description: Saddle up for this Minecraft guide on the elusive uncraftable saddle.
encoded: Minecraft is a world all about mining materials and crafting the weird, the wonderful and pretty much anything else your imagination can think of. How about a saddle? Mojang rolled out saddles way back in June 2010, still remaining one of the major components that players seek out. Considered mysterious relics, no crafting recipe is available, and there are also only a finite number of saddles found in the world - so make them count. Since no crafting is involved when it comes to acquiring a saddle, you must venture out into the overworld and find one. For doing so, the ability to saddle mobs will become instantly available. That means you can hop on everything from pigs and camels to donkeys and striders. And who doesn't want to do that? Once you have a saddle, simply hold it in your hand, right-click (or the equivalent) the animal and hey presto - it's attached. It's easy to take off, too, unless it's a pig. If it's a pig, there's no getting that back - unless it faces an untimely demise. Finding a saddle depends on which mode you're playing - we've broken down the various ways below. Where to find a saddle in Minecraft Creative Mode Creative mode provides unlimited resources, meaning saddles can be found by simply browsing the Creative Inventory Menu. The menus vary slightly depending on which platform you're using - but the saddle can be found under the following headers: Java: Under Transportation Pocket Edition: Tools/Equipment Console/Win10/Edu: Equipment How to find a saddle in Minecraft Survival Mode In survival mode it's not quite as easy with players having to go exploring the Overworld - though there are multiple locations that offer the opportunity to acquire a saddle: Dungeon Chests The easiest way to obtain a saddle is by looting chests while exploring dungeons. Dungeons are structures that generate naturally in the Overworld and often contain a mob spawner and up to two chests. Be careful though, as the mobs spawned will be hostile - you have a 50 pe…

While many of the gameplay loops in Minecraft are quite tricky, crafting a composter and using one is very easy, and can be done in a jiffy. A composter takes plant and food material and turns it into bone meal, which you can take into your inventory and use as fertiliser for most types of plants and as an ingredient for dyes. You could, of course, palm this off as a job for your villagers, but it's nice to be in touch with digital nature and know exactly where your digital food is coming from. And though composting in nature can take time, we won't - so read on and all shall be revealed! How to make a composter in Minecraft To make a composter, you will need to place seven wooden slabs of any type in a U shape on a Crafting table.

encoded: Figuring out where the best Minecraft diamond level is since the introduction of the 1.20 update has been baffling many players. Where do you need to look to mine diamonds in Minecraft? Diamonds are about as rare as a material can be in the blocky crafting and survival game, and are needed to create some of the best weapons and armour. Once you have your diamond armour and tools, you can upgrade them to Netherite - the rarest material in the game. You may also need diamonds for trading or to use as currency in one of the game’s many different servers. The trouble is, where you can find diamond ore and deepslate diamond ore has been changed since the 1.20 update. Luckily, we’re here to let you know how to find them. Whatever you need them for, here is the best level to mine diamonds in Minecraft. Minecraft diamond level: Best level to mine diamonds While you’ll find diamond ore anywhere from Y-level -16 and below, the best Y level to mine diamonds is anywhere between Y-level -53 to Y-level -61. In terms of the optimum layer level? You’re best off heading down to Y-level -53 to find the most diamonds in Minecraft. Expect to find plenty of diamond ore and deepslate diamond ore in these lower levels - more than you will find above. Given the massive amounts of lava on layer -54, Y-level -53 is the best level to mine diamonds in Minecraft as you are above the main source of lava in your Minecraft world. Dropping down to -54 and below maximises your chance of death by lava, with not an abundance of diamond ore. How to mine diamonds in Minecraft To mine Minecraft diamond ore, you will need an iron pickaxe or above - diamond and netherite work, too. If you use a pickaxe that is below iron in strength, mining the diamond ore will make it drop nothing. As always, it’s worth enchanting your tools to make them better. It’s worth mentioning that deepslate diamond ore is harder and will take longer to mine, so adding an enchantment that increases mining speed will prove a smart m…

After what felt like forever, the Trails & Tales update is finally here and it has certainly brought the blocky goods thanks to an exhaustive list of patch notes.
