Finally, It’s Possible to Ride Horses & Minecarts Through Portals in Minecraft
Radojka Travar
View quick summary
Minecraft 1.21 brought a special new change to the way portals work. It's now possible to ride entities like horses and minecarts through portals without having to first get off or out in Minecraft. This is a fairly simple, but also incredibly useful change, as it allows you to transport yourself and other mobs very easily and conveniently. Not only that, but you can create rollercoaster rides and tours that will be a lot more immersive and memorable.
Black dye is one of the 16 color dyes in Minecraft and you can get it from two different crafting recipes. The first one requires one ink sac, which you can get by killing squids. Place the item in the crafting grid to make one black dye. In addition, the other way is more complex, as you need a wither rose. It's an item that drops once the Wither kills a mob. Place it in the crafting grid to make one black dye. On Java edition, you can also get black dye by purchasing it from the wandering trader.
Optifine is one of the most important mods for Minecraft. It boosts performance, allows shader support, and so much more. Optifine is not yet available for the Minecraft 1.21 update, but you can download the unofficial version right now. Once it does arrive, you can get it from the Downloads page on the Optifine website. Click on Download below Minecraft 1.21 version. Once it's done, run the installer, and click on Install. Open Minecraft Launcher, select Optifine and click Play to use this mod.
Density is one of the mace Minecraft enchantments and is extremely powerful. You can get it inside the enchanting table, by placing the mace and lapis lazuli in it. You can even get the maximum density 5 enchantment with this method. The other way to get density is to loot structures like trial chambers that can offer enchanted books. Every level of density adds 0.5 damage or 0.25 hearts to the mace per fallen block. So, density 5 adds additional 2.5 damage per block. Thanks to density 5, you can one-shot the Warden if you fall for about 100 blocks.
Breach is the mace-exclusive enchantment that allows it to reduce effectiveness of the target's armor value by a certain percentage in Minecraft. Breach 1 ignores 15% of the armor value, while breach 4 disregards 60% of the armor. You can get breach through the enchanting table, by placing the mace and lapis in it. You can also get the breach enchanted book in some structures, like the trial chambers. Because of the fact breach is useful against armored mobs and players, it's far better on the multiplayer mode. Breach is incompatible with density, smite and bane of arthropods.
Trial chambers are not an easy structure to raid, so we have compiled this list including best items you should bring in Minecraft 1.21. First, diamond armor and a sword are sufficient enough to keep you safe, especially with good enchantments. Then, we also recommend a shield, great food source and some amazing potions, like strength and swiftness. You should bring an ender chest, so you can keep your valuables safe. Finally, building blocks, torches and water and milk buckets will make sure you navigate easily through the structure and don't take too much damage from poison.
Minecraft 1.21 features are now out and I cannot help but wonder what's going to be in the 1.22 update. My first suggestion is the End update, which would overhaul the End dimension. The inventory update is also in order, as there have always been problems related to it. Overworld biomes deserve more love, as well as mob AI and outdated and bland animations. Finally, I think that instead of designing new mobs and blocks, Mojang could provide more variations which would bring more character to the blocky worlds.
The Minecraft 1.21 update is finally here it is now time to figure out if it's a good update. The 1.21 update adds 94 brand new features to the game, which is more than the previous one. Moreover, they mostly fit in with the Minecraft worlds, though some features may be a bit overpowered. While the community really wanted an End Update, that didn't happen. Though, the crafter and vault blocks are direct result of the given feedback. Unlike the 1.20 update, 1.21 focuses on improving one in-game system. To sum it up, I do believe that 1.21 update is fairly good for the game.
Blaze rods are items necessary for beating Minecraft. You can get them by travelling into the Nether dimension and locating a Nether fortress. There, you'll encounter Blazes, fiery hostile mobs that shoot fire balls at players. Once you kill a Blaze, it has a 50% chance to drop one blaze rod. You can get up to 4 rods with the looting III enchantment. Blaze rods are used in crafting recipes for a brewing stand, blaze powder, copper bulb and end rods. Moreover, they are also a fuel source for furnaces and can smelt or cook 12 items.
Minecraft 1.21 update is here and we list five things you should do when you install it. First, you should make the new copper and tuff blocks and use them in builds. Then, you should make the crafter and learn about its mechanics. Furthermore, you should find the trial chamber and explore it to obtain amazing loot. Even better loot is available from ominous trials. This includes the heavy core, which you can make the mace with.
Trial chambers explorer map is an item that helps you find trial chambers in Minecraft 1.21. You'll have to find a village and employ a jobless villager with a cartography table if there are no cartographers. Level them up until they unlock third set of trades. Trial explorer map is one of those trades and costs 12 emeralds and one compass. Equip the map and determine the trial chamber location.
Minecraft 1.21 brought the second metal door to the game and it's the copper door. It generates naturally inside trial chambers, but you can also craft it. For its crafting recipe, you'll need six copper ingots and one crafting table. Simply fill two columns side by side with the copper ingots and three copper doors will be available on the right. This door behaves just like wooden doors, as it doesn't require redstone signal to open and close. Also, it can oxidize like other copper blocks, which you can prevent or revert.
Minecraft 1.21 Tricky Trials update is finally here and its release time will most likely going to be between 10:00 am EST and 1:00 pm EST on June 13th. It is bringing all sorts of new features, from new copper and tuff blocks, trial chambers and vaults to the mace, Breeze, crafter, new armor trims, music discs and so much more. Our countdown timer will make it very easy to track the time, so come and let's await the update together!
Copper trapdoors are second metal trapdoors that behave like wooden trapdoors in Minecraft 1.21. To craft them, you need one crafting table and six copper ingots. Place the ingots in two adjacent rows of the crafting grid and click on the copper trapdoor on the right to craft them. These blocks are quite common in trial chambers, unlike copper doors.
Minecraft Skins are one of the character customizations the game provides. You can download skins or make your own by visiting Minecraft skin editors and designing a new skin in 2024. The best Minecraft skin editors you should check out are Skindex, Planet Minecraft, MC Skins, Blockbench and MinecraftSkins. They provide basic and advanced tools, color wheels, abilities to hide model parts, rotate the model, move it, zoom in and out and more.
Trial chambers are a brand new Minecraft 1.21 structure that offers exciting challenges and amazing loot. Some of the best trial chambers seeds we could find for Minecraft 1.21 include massive trial chambers, many trial chambers near spawn, unique trial chambers below mushroom islands, villages and also next to an ancient city. So, if you're looking for the perfect 1.21 world, check out our list.
Minecraft 1.21 release is around the corner and here are some things you should do before the update drops. First, stock up on copper and tuff blocks for making new building blocks. Also gather resources for making crafters. Then, you'll want to make a witch farm and prepare lots of powerful and enchanted backup gear and food. Breed villagers and convert them to cartographers and shepherds when the update arrives. Backing up your world is also essential, in case any issues arise. Finally, you should trim your world for the content to be closer to you.
Ender pearls in Minecraft are rather useful items you can get in several different ways in the game. Primarily, they are drops form the endermen mobs, which spawn in dark places, in the Nether and in the End. Also try looting altar chests in the stronghold structures. Expert-level cleric villagers may offer ender pearls and piglins may throw them after you give them gold ingots. You can throw ender pearls and you'll teleport to the spot where the pearl lands, though this will take some time to learn. Also, they are part of the eye of ender crafting recipe.
Cocoa beans in Minecraft generate naturally inside jungles, bamboo jungle and sparse jungle biomes. They appear in the form of pods which have three stages. Breaking the smallest and medium pods yields one cocoa bean, but breaking the largest yields three cocoa beans. You can use cocoa beans on the side of regular or stripped jungle logs or wood to place them. You can wait for them to grow naturally or use bone meal on them to speed up the growth. Cocoa beans can be broken into brown dye and composted in the composter.

Inventory in Minecraft has various issues, from filling up too quickly to annoyance of shuffling items around and bad management options. So, the first solution could be to increase max item stack sizes beyond 64. Also, the shulker boxes are very useful but not really convenient. So, they should receive some quality of life features. Backpacks can help in the early game and the UI should be expanded. This can be done with buttons like sort and a search bar. And while building, there could be a UI wheel that would allow you to easily access blocks from the inventory.
The old versions of Minecraft such as Beta Minecraft has lots of special charms, and it's not only nostalgia.

Minecraft’s Enchanting Table Deserves Some Love, Mojang! (Here are Some Ideas)
Radojka Travar
View quick summary
The Enchanting table is very important in Minecraft, but currently it has lots of flaws. Primarily, it's too random and enchanting could take a lot of time, levels, lapis and sanity. Furthermore, rerolling isn't quite obvious and there is no clear link between the table and bookshelves. Therefore, the enchanting table is not as good as enchanted books. The improvements I think enchanting table needs in Minecraft are a reroll button, display of all enchantments in a slot and a better approach for new players. Also, brand new feature like removing one enchantment would make the enchanting table truly valuable.
Minecraft Snapshot 24W18A adds 9 new background tracks to the game, which will play in certain Overworld biomes and main menu. Furthermore, brand new paintings were added too, 5 from artist Sarah Boeving and 15 from the original artist Kristoffer Zetterstrand. Copper doors and trapdoors now require copper ingots to craft, spider and slime trial spawners switched categories, added new trial chamber entrances and empty chests, ominous trial spawners with mobs that are unable to wear equipment now spawn double the total mob count and more.
Item frames are very neat entities that display items, but sometimes it's the best if you cannot see them. To get an invisible item frame in Minecraft, you can use the following command - /give @p item_frame{EntityTag:{Invisible:1b}}. This works on Minecraft 1.17. Furthermore, there are texture packs that turn all regular item frames invisible when enabled. The third option is to use a mod, which allows you to toggle visibility of an item frame by sneaking and punching it. Getting invisible item frames on Bedrock edition is far more complicated, but is achievable with invisible armor stands.
The Minecraft Exit Code 1 error is a common and rather frustrating error. It may occur due to several problems related to software like Java or GPU drivers, incompatible mods, corrupted files and more. To fix it, first try updating the GPU drivers. Checking for and removing an outdated or incompatible mod may fix this error too. Java can cause this issue as well, so try changing its executable path or completely reinstalling it. If Windows username has a special character, then modifying the Minecraft Launcher path may fix the error.
Pigs are passive mobs in Minecraft that eat three different food items, which include carrots, potatoes and beetroots. They are crops you can find in chests of some structures. Moreover, you can plant their respective seeds on hydrated farmland and wait for them to fully mature, Then harvest them by breaking them. Select one of these items on your hotbar and use it on a pig. If it's an adult, it'll display heart particles above it. Feed two nearby adult pigs to breed them, which will cause a baby pig to spawn. Feed the baby to speed up its growth.
