Minecraft Needs Redstone Escape Rooms to Bring Us a Cool New Challenge

View quick summary
Minecraft structures mostly focus on mobs, but I think there should be more structures that include block-based challenges like desert temples. That's why I believe a redstone escape room structure would be a perfect addition to Minecraft. It may include various unique rooms, where some can teach you about redstone components and make you solve riddles quickly, while others utilize mob path-finding and specific in-game utility blocks. The loot may vary, but you can also find some really cool items there, like a unique armor trim.

One of the most unique tool enchantments in Minecraft is silk touch. It allows you to break and obtain blocks in item form that are otherwise not obtainable. The examples are grass blocks, stone blocks, glass blocks and others. You may get this enchantment through the enchanting table. Place the tool and lapis inside and view your offers. Moreover, you can get a silk touch enchanted book and apply it to a tool in an anvil. Finally, you may also find a tool already enchanted with silk touch in structure chests.
Creaking heart is a unique block that controls the Creaking Minecraft mob and is its greatest weakness. The only way to kill this mob is by breaking the creaking heart connected to it. This block naturally spawns only inside the Pale Garden biome, specifically inside pale oak trees. You may use this block to summon the Creaking mob wherever you want by placing it in between and aligned with two pale oak logs. Also, both of its stages look great, so the creaking heart can also be used in building and decoration.
Minecraft pale oak wood set is white and therefore it goes well in most block color combination. You can get this wood type inside the Pale Garden biome that is filled with pale oak trees. They generate like dark oak trees and are fairly easy to take down. You may use the pale oak logs and planks to make wooden blocks like slabs, stairs, signs, doors, trapdoors, buttons and even boats. Though beside those, you can also make generic wooden blocks like crafting table, chest and others.
The Pale Garden is a very unique and eerie forest Minecraft biome in the Overworld that includes pale oak trees, pale moss blocks and carpet, pale hanging moss and the Creaking Heart blocks. You can find it most easily by exploring your world. Try sticking to the higher terrain, so you can spot the pale oak trees. Furthermore, you can enable the cheats in your world and use the locate command to find the closest Pale Garden. Finally, you may use the seed finder tool Chunk Base and highlight the Pale Garden biome.
The Creaking is a unique hostile mob that moves and attacks only when the player is not looking at it. This mob spawns in the Pale Garden biome at night. You may defeat the Creaking in quite an easy way using an axe in Minecraft. Mainly, the Creaking is controlled by the creaking heart block that spawns inside some pale oak trees. You can punch the Creaking, but it won't take damage. Instead, it'll emit particles leading to the specific creaking heart block. You should find this block and break it with an axe to defeat the Creaking.
The strength potion in Minecraft is fairly useful and you may make it by placing awkward potions in the brewing stand and adding blaze powder to the ingredient cell in the middle. If you wish to extend this potion, you can add redstone dust in the same cell. However, with glowstone dust you'll be able to enhance the regular strength potion, but it will last for 1,5 minutes. With gunpowder you can turn the regular strength potion into a splash potion and using dragon's breath, you can turn it into a lingering potion.
Creaking is a unique hostile Minecraft mob whose appearance resembles a tree bark. It spawns during the night only inside the Pale Garden biome. This is due to the presence of the Creaking Heart block, unique block that spawns inside the pale trees. The Creaking has no health and deals decent damage. The only way to kill the Creaking is to find the Creaking Heart block associated with the mob and break it. You may collect this block using silk touch and place it between pale wood blocks to summon the Creaking at any location at night.

Mojang has accidentally leaked the new features that will be announced at Minecraft Live 2024, including the new Pale Garden biome, the Creaking mob, Hardcore mode, and more.
You can use bundles to organize your items and by dying them different colors, they will be even easier to keep track of. To dye bundles in Minecraft, you'll need one bundle and one dye of your choice. Place the bundle in the crafting grid and add a dye in any empty cell of the grid. Colored bundle will appear in the result cell on the right. You can re-dye the colored bundle if you don't like the color. Also, bundles exist in default 16 colors only and you cannot dye them like wolf and leather armor.

Milk is very useful in Minecraft and in order to obtain it, you'll need to make a bucket and find a cow, mooshroom or a goat. Select the bucket on your hot bar and get close to the mob. Right-click the mob or use a bucket on it and the bucket will get filled with milk. You cannot pour milk, but you can drink it. This will remove all positive and negative status effects. Also, you can use three milk buckets to make a cake inside the crafting table.
There are many rejected Mob Vote mobs in Minecraft and in this guide I'll be listing five of my favorites. Those are Copper Golem, oxidizing and button-pressing statue mob, Moobloom, aesthetic cow variant, Iceologer, cool ice-controlling illager, Tuff Golem, item-holding statue mob and Crab, large clawed animal mob. In addition, I'm sharing what they were intended to do and how they would've affected Minecraft gameplay if they were introduced.
Minecraft has a lot of biomes and there are some I feel need changing in the 1.22 update. The first Minecraft biome I think needs to be changed is the forest biome. It is very bland and some fallen trees and stumps will help greatly. Desert is intentionally barren, but it should be also more interesting with new cactus flower textures, palm trees and meerkats. Many ocean biomes are dull and should get more colorful plants and mobs. Keep reading to know them all and my suggestions here.
I would really love Minecraft 1.22 to be the End update and in this article I'll be sharing five features I'd love to see in it. For starters, the End biomes should be improved drastically and enhanced with new blocks, mobs and vibes. The building and decorative blocks should represent the alien world and be filled with colors and patterns. There should be new mobs that have unique characteristics and can teleport. Imagine a new structure over the void with the new mace variant, armored wings, smithing template or an epic music disc inside.
Mojang recently introduced amazing changes to minecarts in Minecraft and the community has already started making epic builds utilizing them.

Minecraft Retires Mob Vote Forever, Promises New Updates More Frequently

View quick summary
Mojang has posted an article explaining new and exciting changes coming to Minecraft updates and events. First, possibly due to the backlash Mojang has received about the Mob Vote, they decided to retire it and bring something new. Furthermore, there will be smaller, but more frequent updates in the future similar to the Armored Paws drop, instead of one major update in summer. Finally, Minecraft Live event will take place twice per year and it will bring all the news related to the new features and announcements.
There are currently eight confirmed cast members that are part of the Minecraft Movie, Jack Black as Steve, Jason Momoa as Garrett Garrison, Emma Myers as Natalie, Sebastian Eugene Hansen as Henry and Danielle Brooks as Dawn. There are also Jennifer Coolidge, Jemaine Clement and Kate McKinno who play unannounced characters. The four main characters end up in the Overworld and their goal is to go back home. In this blocky world they meet Steve who will help them master this world and together they will protect it from evil piglins and zombies.
You can make a kelp farm in Minecraft with some redstone components, building blocks and kelp. You should make a mirrored wall of pistons and observers that have kelp growing in front of them. When the kelp grows enough, it'll trigger an observer that will activate pistons that break kelp. With some water streams at the top, you can funnel kelp items into another water stream where the items will be collected. You can also stack this kelp farm module upwards to produce more kelp. Kelp can be smelted into dried kelp, which can be crafted into dried kelp blocks.
Minecraft Movie finally dropped its first trailer recently and it's a complete fail, as it got 1 million dislikes on YouTube. This may not surprise you at all, since the mobs, especially pink sheep, are ugly and way too realistic. But the main problem is the real life people who don't fit in with the blocky world and are very obviously green screened in. Mojang and Warner Bros. should listen to the community, delay the movie release and make it completely animated. This would fix the biggest problem and prove to be a lot better-looking in the end.
One of the best Minecraft enchantments is looting. It is applicable only to swords and it increases the drop amount and chance of items after you use the looting sword to kill a mob. You can also shoot a projectile and switch to a looting sword and this enchantment will trigger. You can get looting through the enchanting table. Place the sword and lapis in the table's UI and see if looting appears. You may also apply a looting enchanted book to the sword, which you get from librarians, fishing or when exploring in-game structures.
Leather armor is highly customizable, because you can dye it in many different color in Minecraft. On Java you'll need leather armor, dyes and a crafting table. On Bedrock, you'll need leather armor, dyes, cauldron and water buckets. On Java, you can place the leather armor and the dyes in the crafting grid to change the leather color. On Bedrock, you should use dyes on the filled cauldron to change the water color. Keep reading to learn how to remove color from leather armor here.
Minecraft map seeds allow you to generate the same world as many times as you want. To find the seed code of your Minecraft world map, you can access the chat and then type the /seed command on Java edition. Moreover, you can re-create the world and when you view the World options, the seed code will be displayed there. On Bedrock, you can pause the game, go to Settings and view the Game tab, where the seed code will be visible.
To use Chunk Base, you first need to find the seed code of your Minecraft world. Then, visit Chunk Base's Seed Map app, insert the seed code and choose the Minecraft version and below you can enable and disable different icons that represent unique structures or terrain features. Under that section is a map window, which shows the coordinates of biomes and structures in all three dimensions. You can insert a custom location coordinates, enable terrain and highlight biomes to see which one is the closest. This is a very useful tool that you should explore further.
The first teaser for the Minecraft movie has been released, giving fans a close look at the Overworld, Jack Black as Steve, Momoa, and others. The Minecraft movie will release in theaters on April 4, 2025.
The default minecart speed in Minecraft is 8 blocks per second, but you can modify that value using the minecartMaxSpeed gamerule command. If you want to decrease the minecart speed, then you should open the chat with the T key and type in the command in our piece. The value in this case should be less than 8, but greater than 0. To make the minecart move faster, then insert the same command and the value you choose should be 9-1000. Press Enter when you're done to apply the command.
When you're creating a new Minecraft world, you can enable cheats by making a creative mode world. On Bedrock, you can enable the "Cheats" toggle, while on Java you can enable Allow Commands. After you've made a world, you can access the settings and turn on the Activate Cheats option on Bedrock. On Java, you can start a LAN world. To disable cheats, access the same setting on Bedrock and turn it off. On Java, you can restart the world if it was in survival mode. If it was creative mode world, you cannot disable cheats in it.
Bundles' main advantage is that they can hold up to 64 unique items, but only in stack size of one. Moreover, they are easily crafted and because of this, bundles are changing how Minecraft inventory works both in the early and late game. They also compliment shulker box mechanics very well. The downside is that controls are a bit confusing and currently they can show 12 items only. I think this isn't enough and this number should be increased. There could also be different tabs of the submenu to show all items, but that might be too unrealistic.
Leather is a very important resource and thankfully you can craft it in Minecraft. For its recipe, you'll need four rabbit hide. Open your inventory, place one rabbit hide in every cell of the 2x2 crafting grid on the right and you can craft leather by clicking on it and placing it in your inventory. This item is used in crafting a book, item frame, bundle, leather armor and leather horse armor. You can trade six leather to a leatherworker villager and also repair leather armor in an anvil using leather items.
Minecraft is one of the world's most popular and successful games of all times. The number of active players depends on the month and season. The highest average number of players was recorded in January (182,608,068) and the lowest so far is during May (162,290,196). The average number of players during last 30 days is about 182,097,364. The peak of active players in a single day during the last 30 days is 49,166,288. Finally, the number of players playing Minecraft right now is about 1,127,132.
Leather is very useful in Minecraft and you can get it in multiple ways. The best one includes that you kill cows, horses, donkeys, llamas, mules, hoglins and mooshrooms. Piglins can also give you 2-4 leather when you barter with them using a gold ingot. However, there are multiple other ways to get leather in Minecraft. Keep reading to learn what they are.
