2011 - LOCKED CHEST In 2011, Minecraft Beta 1.4 would randomly try to generate locked chests in every new chunk of the game. If you found one of the chests and clicked on it, you’d be invited by the “Steve Co. Supply Crate” to go and buy a key from a fake Minecraft Store (there wasn’t a real one at the time!). If you clicked the “buy” button, a velociraptor from Jurassic Park appeared on your screen and let out a huge scream. Terrifying! 2013 - MINECRAFT 2.0 On 1st April 2020, a fake announcement of Minecraft 2.0 was released along with a set of joke updates to the game, which are no longer available. Jokes included the Etho Slab (which was a super-powerful TNT slab), the Burnt-Out Torch (which…

LODESTONES ABOUT LODESTONES Lodestones are magnetic rocks that can be used to re-orient a compass towards a specific point. By linking a lodestone with a compass, you can always fififind your way back to the lodestone, as long as you have the magnetised compass available. Lodestones don’t spawn anywhere in the Overworld, the Nether or the End at present, nor can you buy one from a trader. If you want to get hold of one, you have two options: craft one yourself from scratch, or fififind one in a bastion remnant loot chest – the bridge rooms of some bastions have a chance of containing a lodestone, which is the only place you can find one already made. CRAFTING A LODESTONE To craft a lodestone, you must surround one ingot…

Dear Ask Us Anything, I am Henry from Marlow, and I love your mags and love playing Minecraft. I just have some Minecraft questions to ask you! Please put me in your mag because I have never been in one before! 1. Is the 1.17 update on PS4? 2. Can villagers press buttons? 3. Why are villagers all bald? 4. Can you summon Herobrine on PS4? 5. Why do pigmen love gold? Thank you! Henry Cox, Age 9 Dear Ask Us Anything, How do I move an End crystal without exploding it? From Ben, Age 8 Hey Henry! Thanks for writing in – now you HAVE been in a magazine! ⏹ It will be when it’s out, yep, but version 1.17 isn’t due to be released for a couple more…

1. HOW DO I SPAWN A WITHER STORM? Unfortunately, there’s no way to do this – the wither storm was invented especially for the Story Mode game, and hasn’t been put in any other version of Minecraft. You can summon a wither by building its totem using soul sand and wither skulls, but the wither storm – an amped-up version of the wither – doesn’t exist. 2. WHY WON’T MY END PORTAL ACTIVATE? It’s hard for us to diagnose this one because there could be a number of reasons, but the most likely is that the blocks are in the wrong orientation. Look at the screenshot we’ve provided and also check these four things. The answer should be “yes” to all of them! ◼ Is the portal the right size…

THE FRAME The first thing you need to do is pick the location where you want to build your ship, and begin putting together a frame. We’ve used logs (most of this boat is going to be wood!) and started with a long, curved strut that forms the bottom of the boat, facing forwards. Now, build off some ribs to either side. Make them symmetrical, and ensure all of the struts extend slightly above the surface of the water – you want the deck to be about two or three blocks higher than sea level! THE HULL Next, you need to fill in the gaps between these struts with wooden planks. As you can see from the picture, you want to try and keep the gradient fairly smooth rather than…

LUSH CAVE BLOCKS In the screenshots on this page, you can see some of the new block types! A DRIPLEAF can support a mob for 1.5 seconds and grows on water. They grow in large and small versions. AZALEAS are a new type of tree that grows above the lush caves biome. The dirt beneath them is the new ROOTED DIRT type, with the roots stretching down into the lush cave itself. CAVE VINES hang from the ceiling of caves and grow glow berries. They can’t be climbed. HANGING ROOTS and SPORE BLOSSOMS are decorative blocks that grow on the underside of rooted dirt. The MOSS block and MOSS CARPET are plant-like blocks found in lush caves. The blocks will grow azalea plants when fertilised with bone meal. NEW WORLD…

ENDER CORP TOWER Can you imagine an evil company like this? Minecraft user _endermann has imagined the sinister-looking headquarters of Ender Corp, and they’ve come up with a not very welcoming-looking tower. Estimated cost of its build? Ten billion dollars! We don’t have that much money, so we’ll have to make do with the Minecraft version! Tinyurl.com/mcw77topten10 MEDIEVAL TOWER We take a leap back in time for our next tall build, courtesy of Mechitect. They’ve made a tower influenced by medieval times, and whilst it’s not the tallest in our round-up, it’s a detailed and really well realised construction. What’s more, it’s tall enough for you to be able to spot trouble coming! Tinyurl.com/mw77topten9 XXL MODERN TOWER From the past to the future, with a build from Architraft, who has…

DOUBLE VILLAGE JAVA SEED: 805874225920322420 VERSION TESTED: 1.16.5 In the Java Edition, it’s very rare for two villages to spawn so close to one another that they’re connected, and even rarer for them to do so within throwing distance of a mushroom plains biome. That’s what makes this seed so special – you get your pick of buildings, meaning there’s a ready-made base for you, and several ravines close by, allowing you to access deep areas comparatively safely. All that, plus a mob-free mushroom plains biome right next to the villages! If there’s a better place in the game to start, we haven’t seen it. UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES BEDROCK SEED: 517249234 VERSION TESTED: 1.16.201 As an experienced Minecraft player, you probably know how dangerous portals can be. Clearly, the residents of…

ABOUT NUGGETS In Mine craft, there are two types of nugget:gold and iron. Both of them are smaller chunks of material that can be used in certain recipes. On their own, they aren’t a lot of use, but if you collect enough they’ll be come more useful! GETTING NUGGETS There are several ways to get nuggets: ■ You can smelt many gold and iro n it ems into a nugget (e.g.a damage d pickaxe or worn armour). ■ You can craft an iron or gold ingot directly into nine nuggets on a craf ting grid. ■ Piglins will sell 9-36 iron nuggets in exchange for one gold ingot.Zombified piglins can drop uptoonegoldnuggetwhen they’rekilled. ■ In the Nether, gold nuggets can be mined directly from Nether gold ore and gilded blackstone.…

MINECRAFT DUNGEONS TO BECOME AN ARCADE MACHINE The brilliant Minecraft Dungis already available on PC, Switch, Xbox and Play Station, but Mojang has nowann ounced that it’s going to be heading to arc ades as well. A special four-player arcade machine is being designed and built by the company Play Mechanix, although for the time being they’re only going to be available in America. There are plans to roll them out around the world, but for the minute, with most of the planet locked down, it might be a while before we see one. On the upside, it’s still likely to be far cheaper to play the game at home – after all, you can’t just have one go of Minecraft Dungeons, can you?! MORE MINECRAFT LEGO SETS! We really…
