We’ve picked out four of the most popular shaders around to compare and contrast them! For reference, these were tested on a system running a GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card and using the OptiFine 1.18.1 HD U H5 build, downloaded from optifine.net/home. We’ve also used the same screenshot with each shader so you can see the difference! CONTINUUM 2.0.4 continuum.graphics/downloads This shader has amazing effects, including photo-realistic lighting and a sky that looks just like it’s outside your window. The shadows are perfectly shaped, angling with ray-traced precision from the sun, and you’ll even see them wave and move with the leaves in the breeze. It’s one of the more power-hungry shaders, but worth it if you can run it. For less powerful machines, consider the ‘Lite’ version. NOSTALGIA SHADER…

CRYING OBSIDIAN! COLLECTING CRYING OBSIDIAN Crying obsidian generates in ruined portals. Part of the portal frame, normally made of obsidian, is replaced by crying obsidian when the portal generates. It can therefore be found in both the Overworld and the Nether, which is where ruined portals generate. Players can collect crying obsidian in the same way that they collect Obsidian – by mining it with a diamond or netherite pickaxe. As one of the hardest blocks in the game, it takes a long time to break. With no tool, it can take 250 seconds – over four minutes – to destroy a block. Even with a diamond or netherite pickaxe, breaking a single block takes 8–10 seconds! Crying obsidian cannot be created, but it is possible to barter with a…

Dear Ask Us Anything, I love playing Minecraft! It is so fun. I play it on Bedrock Edition. I have a few questions to ask… ◼ Can you sit on scaffolding? ◼ If you burn down a village and destroy the beds, what will happen to the villagers? ◼ Is there a Pennywise mod? ◼ How do you use a name tag? Thanks, I hope you can answer my questions (thanks again). Tom, aged 8 Hey Tom! Thanks for writing in. Hope our answers are helpful! ◼ You can climb up and stand on scaffolding, but there’s no way to sit on anything in the game other than ridable objects like horses and boats. You can’t even crouch on scaffolding because it’ll make you climb down it instead! ◼ The…

USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW The command console is the same as the chat input. All console commands are entered by placing a / at the start. You can also run them inside command blocks. You can get help information about any command by typing /help <command>. Just so it’s clear, the triangle brackets in the previous line mean you have to replace that with a command, and you never have to type the triangle brackets in as part of one! If we use square brackets, that means type one of the things inside the square brackets – again, without the brackets themselves! E.g. [true|false] means type true or false. Where commands specify <player>, you can put their username to target a specific player, but you can also type @a to…

BONUS CHEST Appears, surrounded by torches, near your spawn point if you tick the ‘bonus chest’ box when creating a new world. There is only one per world, and it isn’t available on Hardcore mode. It mostly contains food, wood, and wooden tools, though you might get a stone axe or pickaxe. In the Bedrock Edition, it can also contain cactus blocks and seeds. RUINED PORTAL Every ruined portal spawns with a loot chest, but it can be destroyed after generation. The chests can contain lots of unique and rare stuff: enchanted golden tools, weapons and armour, glistering melon, golden carrot, clocks, bells, fire charges, golden apples, iron and gold nuggets, flint & steel, and obsidian. PILLAGER OUTPOST Found on the top floor of outposts. These chests can contain logs,…

FROGS & TADPOLES Yep – both frogs and their infant form, tadpoles, can be found in swampland biomes. Frogs mostly hang out on land, but will lay frogspawn in water if they are fed a slime ball. Soon after that, the frogspawn will hatch, releasing a shower of tadpoles into the water which will eventually grow into adult frogs. Tadpoles can also be collected in a bucket to create a bucket of tadpoles. Tadpoles can survive on land but will try to find water as quickly as possible, and they will also attempt to escape from axolotls, Frogs come in three variants: temperate (orange), cold (green), and warm (white). They will drop slime balls if they eat a slime, and like to stand on both lilypads and big dripleaves. They…

10 ORIENTAL PEARL TOWER Shanghai’s television tower definitely gets a good reception from us! Compared with the real-life version, it’s clear that Zel_Ulqui’s 15-hour build was time well spent. And while the maker admits it was tricky, it still manages to reach skywards by 234 blocks, while boasting a roof height of 175 blocks. Bet there’s still nothing to watch! tinyurl.com/mcw90topten10 9 LEANING TOWER OF PISA OK, so the tower isn’t actually leaning here – the image has been tilled slightly. But that doesn’t take away the splendour of this Italian freestanding bell tower. Meafcraft’s exterior works shows just how the tower would still be jaw-droppingly beautiful if it hadn’t begun to sink into the ground. He’s also produced a time-lapse video so you can see it come to life…

BREWING QUICKSTART GUIDE To start brewing, you need to either craft a brewing stand (using a blaze rod and three cobblestone blocks) or collect one – the easiest place to find them is an igloo basement or a village temple. You’ll also need several glass bottles (craft three bottles from three glass blocks), a water source to fill the bottles, and some blaze powder to activate the brewing process. That’s just to get started, though – remember, you will also need your potion ingredients! Here’s a list of everything you can add to a potion: nether wart, gunpowder, spider eye, ghast tear, rabbit foot, blaze powder, glistering melon, sugar, magma cream, redstone, glowstone dust, fermented spider eye, phantom membrane, turtle shell, golden carrot. Remember, you’ll need to add nether wart…

ABOUT LEATHER Leather is one of the oldest items in the game and was originally dropped by cows when they were killed. These days, you can collect leather by killing cows, mooshrooms, horses, donkeys, mules, llamas, and hoglins when they die! You aren’t guaranteed to get any – you might get 0 pieces, you might get 1, you might get 2 – but most of these mobs are easy to find, and therefore so is leather. Foxes sometimes spawn holding leather, in which case you can convince the fox to drop it by killing them, or by feeding them some food. Other ways to get leather include crafting it from four pieces of rabbit hide, reeling it in as a ‘junk’ catch while fishing, finding it in chests found in…

BUILD SPECS There’s not much you can do to control thievery in Minecraft – after all, half the fun of the game is looting stuff from NPCs. But if you decide that there needs to be some law and order in an otherwise lawless world, an underground prison is your safest bet for controlling the populace. Here are the things your build needs to have to qualify: ◼ A selection of cells ◼ A prisoner transport system ◼ A maximum security section ◼ Prison jumpsuits Other than that, you’re free to try whatever you want! HINTS AND TIPS Building underground is the easiest way to make the prison escapepro of – it’s not like people are going to be able to hop a wall or cutthrough a fence if there’s…
