NEW LOST LEGENDS! This new update comes on top of the monthly additional campaigns – the so-called Lost Legends – that will continue through October and November. The latest of these is Creeper Clash, where you are tasked with overtaking a piglin stronghold using just your not-so-jolly green friends. Expected in November is When Pigs Fly, a colosseum-based challenge where you have to battle ten waves of piglins that are being thrown at you in barrels using the piglin launcher from the main game! Sounds like a lot of fun to us. FROGS! A new mount has been added to both the Campaign and Versus modes of the game, and it’s one we’re ribbit happy about. Alongside, Big Beak the Bird, Brilliant Beetle, Horse and Regal Tiger, you’ll now be…

Thank you to so many of you for taking the time to write in and tell us all about your fantastic Minecraft creations, collections, cakes and ideas! We love receiving all your interesting letters, so be sure to get in touch about anything Minecraft related! You can write to us via email. Our address is: incoming@everythingmw.com We look forward to hearing from you! Here’s the latest collection of letters… ROWAN’S IDEAS I’m really enjoying the new features in the 1.20 update. I have some ideas that I thought would be fun to add in the next update. Now that we have cherry trees, perhaps we could also have cherries in the inventory. It would also be good if with the bamboo update there could be a bamboo village where the…

MINECRAFT VERSION 1.21 Agnes Larsson, the director of Minecraft, had plenty of updates to show us from the next version of Minecraft which will be dropping next year. We were told it’ll be coming in mid-2024, so you can expect it probably around July or August if previous years are anything to go by. We didn’t get the name of this update confirmed, but that’s nothing new – in fact, we hesitate slightly to even call this version 1.21 since it wasn’t officially confirmed in the stream! Still, given that the updates in last year’s stream ended up being 1.20, it’s a fairly safe bet – we’ll call it version 1.21 until and unless we’re told otherwise. TRIAL CHAMBERS The first of many new features to talk about, the trial…

ABOUT INK SACS Ink sacs are dropped by squid when they die, and can be used for a number of recipes. They stack in groups of 64 and are considered ‘renewable’ (meaning it’s impossible to run out) because squid will constantly respawn. Their primary use is in the creation of dye, but they can be used for other things too! GETTING INK SACS The easiest way to get an ink sac is to kill a squid. When killed, a squid will drop 1–4 ink sacs which will float to the surface of the water if left uncollected. It is possible to collect ten ink sacs as a junk item when fishing; however, this is by far the rarest item you can collect – just 0.1% of all catches will be…

Dear Ask Us Anything, 1. Do shaders work on Bedrock Edition? I think it would be awesome, considering how cool they look! 2. What are some ways to get better at melee combat? I’m good at ranged, but definitively not at melee. 3. What do allays do? 4. How do you get a skeleton horse? 5. What are the chances of a wither skeleton dropping its skull? I heard they’re very rare! Please answer all my questions! I really enjoy your magazine, and Minecraft too! Thanks, Lucas, aged 13 FL, U.S.A. Hi Lucas! Thanks for your great questions. Let’s try answering them… ◼ Sadly not – shaders rely on very powerful hardware only found in gaming PCs and high-end gaming consoles, so the Bedrock Edition – which is designed to work…

CAVE SPIDERS live in mineshafts and originate in a monster spawner. They have 12 health and can do 2–3 damage, inflicting the Poison effect. They drop 0–2 string and, rarely, a spider-eye. Secret: In light levels of 9+, they remain neutral unless already attacking. CREEPERS are the iconic Minecrafte villain! They hav 20 healthandwhen they get close they explode, doing 22.5–64.5 damage and destroying blocks. They drop 0–2 gunpowder and a random music disc if killed by a skeleton. Secret: If struck by lightning, a creeper becomes charged up – and even deadlier! ENDERMEN can appear in the Overworld, the End and the Nether. They can teleport and pick up blocks, and become hostile if you look at their face. They do 4.5–10.5 damage and have 40 health. They drop…

Each year at Minecraft Live, there’s a now-traditional mob vote, where fans of the game can choose from a handful of options as to a mob to be added to the game. That’s the good bit. The bad bit? The losing mobs are consigned to history – and to date, not a single one of them has made it into the game! As such, meet just some of the mobs we never got to see on our Minecrafting travels! GLARE Heavily defeated in 2021’s vote, the glare would have been a useful critter to have on your side! It’s a small, ghostly character, who could tell you where an area’s dark enough for a hostile mob to spawn into. MOOBLOOM The first mob to be voted out all the way…

PISTONS! CRAFTING PISTONS A piston is quite complicated to craft! You need three wood planks (any type) on the top row, then four cobblestone (two in the left column, two in the right column), a single iron ingot in the centre and a piece of redstone dust on the bottom-centre square. Using all this will craft one piston! Pistons themselves only fit in one recipe: the sticky piston, which is crafted from a piston and a single slimeball! SCAVENGING PISTONS Crafting isn’t the only way to get pistons; however, they are quite rare in the Overworld and don’t appear naturally in any other dimensions of the game. The only places in which you can find a piston already generated are jungle temples, where they are hidden as part of the…

10 MODERN MOUNTAIN DUPLEX Although this wonderful home would work well all year round, there’s something special about seeing it set among snow-laden trees. It makes us want us to go inside and sit around the fireplace or at least explore the cosy bedrooms where we’d be able to stay nice and warm. Created by NeroGlitch8, this mountain duplex also boasts outdoor patios and roof decks, but we’d leave those until summer. tinyurl.com/mcw111topten-10 9 WINTER ISLAND If playing out in the snow is more your thing then you’ll have plenty of fun exploring this fabulous island. As you make your way up and down the mountains and hills, you’ll be able to take in spectacular views including one of an amazingly large lake that maker DarthKal says flows into the…

BUILD SPECS Minecraft is a game of survival, and survival is not always pretty. Enter the rather horribly named ‘cow crusher’ (which only works with Java versions of the game, due to it having a gamerule known as Entity Cramming). It is a way of ensuring that you have a ready supply of steaks to cater for your food needs should you be happy eating meat! This is such a simple build, requiring very little in the way of resources – a few blocks, a chest, fences, water and plenty of wheat and you’re pretty much done. The trickiest thing is getting a couple of cows into it. You start by digging a two-block hole and dropping in a chest and a hopper. Place a temporary block over the hopper…
