You can make Minecraft look incredible with Nvidia RTX cards and ray-tracing resource packs, injecting real-time reflections and hyperrealistic lighting into the game with ease.

A Minecraft player has crafted a massive scale model of the Munificent-Class Star Frigate, a ship from Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith.

If you're a Minecraft fan and haven't updated your game just yet, you may want to either wait a few days or be extremely careful. Earlier today, Mojang warned players not to update their games through the Xbox App on PC, as a pretty catastrophic bug is causing some worlds to be completely wiped, with no way of recovering them again.

Players using the PC Xbox App to play Minecraft may be in danger of losing their worlds without following specific guidelines. In preparation for the full release of Minecraft update 1.21, Mojang has adjusted a handful of things and added to the Marketplace in the latest minor patch, but this one may unfortunately delete worlds.

Mojang is warning that those who update Minecraft via the Xbox app on PC may have their worlds wiped. Mojang recommends running the Gaming Services Repair Tool for PC on the Xbox App before downloading the latest update, but until an actual fix is released, I’d remain wary. For now, automatic updates through the PC Xbox App have been disabled by Mojang as a preventive measure.

Halo Infinite’s regular seasonal updates have come to an end, but 343 Industries aren’t abandoning the game, and in fact next week will see the launch of a fairly significant update. This patch will offer a full networking overhaul – rather than trying to patch problems in Halo Infinite’s original networking model, they’ve decided to completely change the underlying tech. At the same time, Easy Anti-Cheat is being added to the game.

Here's a trailer.

If you’re a Minecraft player on PC, don’t update your game using the Xbox app, Microsoft warned Friday. If you do, you risk losing your Minecraft world.

Before that, Mojang releases snapshots for players to test features and give feedback before adding them to Minecraft.

The world of Minecraft is ridiculously large, encompassing dozens of biomes, enemies, and resources for you to gather. Exploring the world is half the fun, as you never know what's around the next blocky corner. Exploration can also get you into trouble, as it's easy to venture too far from your home base and lose track of your location. If you're looking to quickly get back to your base – or get somewhere else on the map quickly – you'll be glad to know you can teleport in Minecraft.

There's a lot of exploring and building to do in Minecraft, as the sandbox game has seen rapid growth over the years. But along with scavenging for resources and crafting new gear, Minecraft lets you tame a variety of animals. And one of the most popular animals you can tame is an adorable cat.

Not only is Minecraft the bestselling game of all time, but it’s also insanely addictive to play. Who could say no to an immersive polygonal world of mining, agriculture, and digital zombies? Released all the way back in 2009, both PC and console versions of the famous title have come along.

Playing Minecraft can be a huge blast, but what if we told you that playing the game with cheats is even more fun? Sure, you can add quite a bit of entertainment to your Minecraft experience with player mods and add-ons, but using not-so-secret console commands to enhance or alter the world of Minecraft can be just as thrilling. And whether you’re playing the game on a desktop PC, PlayStation, or Xbox, you’ll have access to these cool codes.

Minecraft has been around for ages, and it's seen countless updates and expansions over the years. The most entertaining updates have given players new locations to explore and enemies to do battle with – and no where is that more evident than with the updates that brought us the Nether and the End. These biomes are filled with deadly creatures and exciting loot, but they're not exactly easy to reach.

Players frequently share their unique Minecraft builds with the community, including one fan of The Lord of the Rings who made an in-game recreation of Rivendell.

Everyone loves building gigantic castles and mountain-side lairs in Minecraft. These give you a cozy place to rest between adventures — and if you're a seasoned builder, you'll want to upgrade your home by personalizing it with decorations.

Minecraft has released a new update for its Bedrock edition that makes a big change to Wolves, adds new experimental features for users to try out, and implements a variety of bug fixes and improvements. Wolves have been a hot topic recently after a previous Minecraft update made additional changes to the mob.

Minecraft is known for many qualities, but graphics are not typically among them. The incredibly flexible and dynamic building game chose a more simple yet pleasing art style to better serve its mechanics. That being said, while that blocky aesthetic will never go out of style, there are plenty of ways to improve the looks since it originally came out in 2011. Aside from graphics packs and shaders, the most impressive visual update you can add to Minecraft is ray tracing.

A Minecraft player walked over 10 million blocks, posting images that showed how weird Mojang's game gets after that.

The latest Java Snapshot for Minecraft updated the game with some bug fixes and a major expansion to one family of mobs. Mobs will spawn in one variation or another depending on biome, surroundings, and other factors. Mobs can also become allied with a player's character to aid in crafting or other activities. Players have taken to the internet to share their love for one particular species of mob, and their feedback has been answered.

In the real world, there are tons of sub-variants of wolves roaming the planet.

If you have been playing Minecraft for the last decade or so and been thinking, 'I really enjoy this game, but I wish they would change up the wolves up a bit', then I have good news: Eight new wolf variations are coming to Minecraft, first via the Bedrock Edition beta and preview builds and Minecraft: Java Edition's latest snapshot.

Since Mojang added wolves to Minecraft's Java Edition beta in 2011, they've remained pretty much the same, with only one variant (in comparison to the game's 11 different cats and an impressive 2,700 different tropical fish). Quite a few players have begged Mojang to add more wolves — and now, after 13 years, it seems their work has finally paid off.

A Minecraft player has discovered that it takes 19 Armored Wolves to defeat a Warden. The Warden is one of the strongest Minecraft mobs as it can deal and withstand massive damage, but this gamer has a trick to defeating one without having to attack it themselves.

Fans have created locations like Goldenrod City within Minecraft and even brought the mechanics of Pokemon into the game through mods. Now, one fan has crafted a stunning re-creation of the Kalos region's Prism Tower.

A Minecraft player has created a mod based on Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Sky Islands. Minecraft players often create impressive projects based on anime, movies, and games like the Zelda franchise. These projects bring reproductions of areas from games such as Clock Town from Majora's Mask, complete recreations of Ocarina of Time, and homages to more recent entries of the Zelda series.

By her own admission, Minecraft’s Danielle Brooks may not be any good at the game, but The Color Purple actor sure has high hopes for the movie adaptation.

The best way to supercharge a PC game, especially after you're mostly done with it, is to install some mods. They can be a great way to make a game fun again. They're usually unofficial, which is why a lot of people stray from them, but what if you could have sanctioned, official "mods" that aren't made by the game developers, but otherwise have an official stamp of approval? This is exactly the concept Minecraft is currently trying out, with "add-ons" coming soon to players.

I’m not saying Minecraft is entirely infinite, but it definitely has the kind of longevity most other games would kill for. Much of it comes down to the near-endless creative possibilities, but also the mods. Mods and add-ons are what keep the gaming world a-turnin’, and Mojang has now added…add-ons to the game.

Mojang has announced a major new feature for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Dubbed Add-Ons, the feature essentially brings mods to Minecraft: Bedrock Edition through the Minecraft Marketplace.
