MATERIALS You’ll need the following: 16 x Obsidian; 1 x Quartz slab; 2 x TNT (minimum!); 2 x Stone buttons; 12 x Redstone dust; 1 x Water bucket » STEP ONE: The barrel Start by building a “U” shape on the ground using your obsidian blocks. This is the “barrel” of the cannon. It should be seven blocks long, with an opening facing the direction you want to shoot your TNT. » STEP TWO: The nozzle Place the slab in the opening, and to the immediate right or left of it place your final obsidian block so it’s two blocks high on one side. This block is where you’ll attach the ammo, slightly above the quartz slab. » STEP THREE: The propellent Place the water source block at the end…

DOORS ABOUT DOORS Doors are double-height blocks that can be opened and closed by the player and some NPCs, such as villagers. They can be crafted, but they’re also possible to find in any Overworld biome. They generate as part of many structures, including villages, shipwrecks, strongholds and woodland mansions. When closed, a door will function as a wall to most mobs, stopping them from seeing into rooms or passing through unobstructed. Breaking a door will cause it to drop itself as an item. You can do this with an axe or an empty hand. Using no axe will take 4.5 seconds to break the door, and using a golden axe will take 0.4 seconds. CRAFTING A DOOR Wooden doors are crafted from wood planks, and each recipe uses six…

Dear Ask Us Anything, I love buying your magazine every month and enjoy reading the questions and answers section to help improve my Minecraft skills, so I have come up with a few Minecraft questions of my own (I play in the Bedrock Edition on Nintendo Switch): 1. How do you enter seed reference numbers into a world? 2. Which is the best enchantment for a Netherite sword? 3. Can you ride pigs in Minecraft? 4. What new animal mobs will there be in the Caves and Cliffs update? 5. How do you craft beds in Survival mode? 6. How do you sleep in beds? Thanks! From Arthur, Age 8 Hey Arthur! We play on the Nintendo version a lot too! Let’s see if we can help: ■ To enter…

HORSES, DONKEYS & MULES Taming a horse, as well as donkeys and mules, can be done easily. First, you have to befriend it by approaching with an empty hand and getting on its back. Initially, it will probably just throw you off. Repeat this enough times, though, and hearts will appear above its head, indicating that it accepts you as a rider. Now, you can open the inventory while riding it and equip a saddle or some armour. Riding horses lets you move a lot quicker even than sprinting, and can allow you to carry extra goods. If you have a donkey or mule, you can equip it with saddlebags by using a chest on it! PARROTS To tame parrots, simply feed them seeds – melon, pumpkin, wheat and beetroot…

AZALEA UPDATES You can now collect azalea and flowering azalea bushes, and plant them in flower pots. Note that these aren’t the same as the trees – they’re the smaller versions that grow underground in lush caves. Collect them with shears and/or grow them into full-size trees with bone meal. Flowering azalea can also be used as part of the recipe for a new variant of suspicious stew, although at the moment it’s not known what its effect will be when eaten! Additionally, rooted dirt (which grows below azalea trees) can now be turned into normal dirt with the use of a hoe. AXOLOTLS Everyone’s favourite new mob has a few changes too! In real life, axolotls play dead when attacked to try and discourage predators, which is being replicated…

10 T-REX Let’s start our dinosaur roundup with, well, a dinosaur! This is the work of BlueSky_18, and it’s a piece of Minecraft 3D art that we think is really rather special. This sizeable critter is made entirely from individual bricks and we can’t imagine how long it took to make! www.tinyurl.com/mcw80topten10 9 JURASSIC WORLD RESORT If you’ve seen the film Jurassic World, you might remember the enormous theme park in that particular movie. Perdrovisqui Company has put together that park in terrific detail in its Minecraft map, and we spotted so many details from the film! It’s some piece of work, and looks a lot of fun to explore. www.tinyurl.com/mcw80topten9 8 SITE B Another build influenced by the Jurassic Park series of films, this one – from Honse –…

BUILD SPECS A bouncy castle is the perfect way to enjoy yourself out doors, and while Minecraft doesn’t have bouncy inflatables just yet, it has got the next best thing – slime blocks! So pull out those springy, green blocks and get building your very own bouncy castle. Here are the things your build needs to have to qualify: Towers and turrets around the edge Slime blocks for extra bounce A platform or two to leap off An entrance so you can get in and out Other than that, you’re free to try whatever you want! HINTS AND TIPS Building out of slime blocks is essential–they’re the only thing that has enough bounce top revent you taking any damage when you jump on them. If you landona solid surface, you…

EMERALD ORE This rare form of emerald only appears in the mountains biome and its variants. As of version 1.17, it can appear in the top 220 levels of the map, so you can find it high up in mountains or relatively far below the surface! Each block will drop one emerald when broken using an iron, diamond or Netherite pickaxe. OCEAN MONUMENTS Found in the deep ocean biome only, monuments are huge underwater fortresses. The easiest way to find them is to use an ocean explorer map, which will lead you straight to one, but the real rarities are their unusual blocks – as well as prismarine, of which they are made, you can collect prismarine lanterns (using a Silk Touch pickaxe) and sponges, both of which are impossible…

ABOUT FISHING RODS Fishing rods are tools used primarily for fishing, though also as part of some recipes. They can be crafted by the player, collected from various places, or bought from villagers. To use a rod, the player must cast it towards a water source block, at which point it will be possible to reel in a fish (treasure or junk) when the float dips below the surface of the water. A successful catch removes one durability from the rod’s durability total. On the Java Edition a rod can make 64 catches, and on Bedrock it can make 384. When a rod loses all of its durability, it breaks permanently. COLLECTING FISHING RODS Rods can be easily crafted using three sticks and two string, and it’s possible to repair…
