DOLPHINS

You can’t permanentl tame dolphins, but if you feed them r w cod they’ll lead you to nearby shipwrecks or underwater ruins whi h contain chests, allowing you t collect the loot inside. If ou bre k the chest, they’ll lead you to the next closest intact one!

AXOLOTLS

Dolphins help you find chests

The newest tameable mob is coming to the game in the 1.17 update, which is due very soo ! Taming an plest ways of taming any mob in Minecraft, because all you have to do is catch it in a bucket. Once tam d, the axolotl will swim alongside y u when you’re underwater, fending off drowned and guardians, and at ac ng s .

They can also remove Mining Fatigue, making them an esse tial companion for ocean monument xploration!

Tame axolotls fight for you

WOLVES

Wolves only spawn in forest and taiga biomes (and their vari nts). They can be made into tame “d gs” by feeding them bones. Once ta ed, the wolf il r ll h h d and becomes breeda le – their puppies will also be t me. Tamed wolves are useful bec use they’ll attack any mob that attacks you, and when they kill the mob it will still drop experience and its normal items (which isn’t the ase if a mob is killed by environme tal causes, .

FOXES

Wolves gain collars when tamed Foxes must be bred tame

Wild foxes can’t be ta ed, but you can breed a friendly f x. Feed two adults sweet berries t put them into breeding mode, and t e baby fox that’s born will trust y u. Foxes that trust you will attack h stile mobs and not run away if you a proach them.

OCELOTS&CATS

Both ocelots and cats can be tamed in the same way although it’s very difficult! To gai the trust of an untamed ocelot o cat, you Cats can be should hold a raw cod r salmon befriended r them to with fish approach. Don’t move fast or look away as they approach, otherwise you’ll spook them and begin the process agai .

THE MOB TAMING GUIDE

LLAMAS

You can tame a llama i exactly the same way ou can tame a horse. Onc you’ve tamed one, the can be equipped with a chest to carr items.

You can also optionally equip them with a piece of carpet tile as decoration, with each colour of carpet showi g a different design!

Although you can rid a tamed llama, it’s impossible to control its direction.

You can, however, atta h a lead to them and lea them around on it. If y u do this, they’ll form “train ” of up to 10 llamas so you an transport a huge number of llamas – or, if you tam them all, a huge number of items!

The amount of items llama can carry depen s on a hidden strength v lue, but will always be bet een three and 15 inventory lots.

If tamed, they’ll spit at wolves or any other mobs that attack the player.

PIGS

You can’t strictly tame pigs – mainly because they’re already very friendly towards you – but you CAN control them. Place a saddle on their back a d you’ll be able to ride them, t ough it’s not much good like that because the ’ll just walk where er they want! However, make a carrot on stick (fishin rod and carrot) nd ou can use it to ntr l th ir dir ti and speed. It’s bad news for the pig if ou decide ou want the saddle back, thou h as the onl way to get it is to kill the pig!

Tamed llamas can form caravans

the … d n i F o t Tahnidngwshere to find them

Minecraftisfullofraremobs,structures, biomes,itemsandblocks–butwhichare therarestand,mostimportantly,where canyoufindthem!?

EMERALDORE

This rare form of eme ald only appears in the mount ins 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 n ely far below the surface! Each bloc will drop one emerald when broken using an iron, diamond or Netherite ickaxe.

Emerald ore

OCEAN MONUMENTS

Found in the deep cean biome only, monuments are huge underwater fortres es. The easiest way to find them is to use an ocean explorer ma , which will lead you straight t , real rarities are th ir unusual blocks – as well a prismarine, o w c t ey are made, you can collect prism rine lanterns (using a Silk Touch pickaxe) and sponges, bo h of which are impossible to ge elsewhere!

STRONGHOLDS

THE HARDEST THINGS TO FIND… AND WHERE TO FIND THEM

Almost impossible to fi d without help, strongholds are vast underground fortresses, which contain tonnes of loot and a direct portal to t e End – the only way you can make it th re! Locating strongholds is difficult you have to e powder and an ender pearl), then throw them, taking note of the direc ion they fly.

Keep following the trail start hovering in mid ai , then dig down to reach the start of a stronghold.

BROWN MOOSHROOMS

Strongholds

Brown mooshrooms

The only way to find thi ultrarare mob is to be on the lookout!

Mooshrooms only spaw in the mushroom plains biome, and a brown mushroom only spawns one is struck by lightnin ! You can find one eventually if you ha g around a m r n when there’s a storm, though if you h ve a trident with Channelling you ca use that to make your own! Feed them flowers and milk them with a bowl to obtain suspicious stew!

NETHERSTAR

Nether star

ne o t e rarest rops, a et er s ar can only be picked up b killing the wither, which is no small feat! If you can manage it, you can se it to craft a beacon block. The go d news is that Nether stars can’t be destroyed by explosions and take five minutes to despawn, so if you kill a wither you practically can’t miss it.

GEODES

You can only find them in version 1.17 onwards, but geodes aren’t easy to spot – unless you know what you’re looking for! Most of the time th y’re buried deep underground, but occasionally ou’ll see one sticking ut of the ocean floor or protruding abo e the desert.

You can find them any here between sea level and the bedro k layer, so keep your eyes peeled for th t telltale layer of smooth basalt!

Geodes

9

MOBHEADS

There are fiv mob heads: the dragon h ad, which you collect fr m End ships; wither skeleton skulls, which are dropped ( ventually) by wither skeleto s; then creeper heads, skeleton skulls and zombie heads, hich are only dropped by the relevant mob when they’re kill d by a charged creeper! Charge creepers only appear when a c eeper is struck by lightning, so t ey’re also pretty rare – if yo spot one, try to lure it somewh re it can take out a mob or two hen it blows up!

Mob heads

PINKSHEEP

You’re probably u ed to seeing white, grey, brow and black sheep – but did y u know it’s possible for them to spawn pink as well? It’s extremely rare, though! Look at it this way.

If you spawned 1,000 sheep, around 820 of t em would be white, you’d get 50 black, 50 grey and 50 light grey, further 29 of them would be brown – and only one of them would be ink! Only 50 of those 1,000 sheep w uld be babies, so the rarest shee – a bab pink she p – has a chance f appearing just once eve if more than 12,000 s awn!

Pink sheep

ELYTRA

Elytra

10

Also found only in End shi s the elytra is a superrare item, worn as a piece of chest armo r, that gives you the ability to lide. In fact if you combine it with firework rockets, you an even fly!

The elytra is found in the hold on End ships, which spawn in some (but not all) End cities in the End. You’ll have to do a lot of exploring to get one, but it’s worth it!

THE HARDEST THINGS TO FIND… AND WHERE TO FIND THEM

WOODLAND MANSIONS

Perhaps the rarest structure – and certain y one of the hardest to find – woodland mansions an Woodland spawn only in dark for st mansions biomes, but because o their rarity they usually spawn thousands of blocks away from the spawn point. This mea s that to find one you don’t j st have to find the right biome, ou have to hike thous nds of blocks away from your normal hunting grounds to look for it.

When you do, head inside and kill the evoker to get y ur hands on one of the game’s r rest items – a totem of und in !

DRAGONEGG

Most blocks occur lots f times, even if they’re hard to nd, but the dragon’s egg appe rs literally once in the entire gam . The first time you kill the drago , it appears on top of the End port l. If you try to collect the block it teleports a short distance away, ut if it tele orts onto End sto e ou can place a torch two bloc s beneath it, break the block bet een the egg and the torch, and watch as gravity makes it fall onto the torch and pop as a coll ctable item. It’s only good as trophy, but what a trophy to h ve!

Dragon egg

WITHERROSES

This ultra-rare flower o ly appears when a mob i killed by the wither. Standing too close to it will inflict the Wither effect. Wither roses can be planted in the same places as normal flowers but also on Netherrack, soul sand nd soul soil.

Wither roses

FOSSILS

These bone re nants of ancient animals are incr dibly hard to find because th y only generate underground, an only near the surface of desert and swampland biomes, which ar themselves pretty hard to ex lore because of the sand and water that can fall down. In version 1.17 the ’ll become more common, wit more frequent generation and pos ibly no biome restriction – but ev n then it will take a while to find them

Fossils

BOTTLEO’ ENCHANTING

This rare item can occ sionally be found as loot in shipw ecks or pillager outposts, but the mos reliable wa to get it remains the s me as ever – trading with Master Level cleric villa ers where it will cost you three emeralds. The item it elf isn’t even that great – throwing one gets you 3-11 experience points to collect, or about the same as killing a lightly armoured zombie or skeleto . But on the plus side, that’s free e perience and they can be useful for storing near enchanting table or anvils in case ou’re low on oints.

Bottle o’ enchanting

TURTLE HELMETS

The turtle hel et is an item that you can only get hold of if you craft it yourself – but it’s the material it’s crafted from that makes it so rare! You need five turtle scutes nd they’re only dropped when a bab turtle grows into a adult, making them almost impossible to find unless ou hang around waiting for aby turtles to grow up. Remember, if you find a bab turtle, you can speed up t e process by feeding it seagrass!

Turtle helmets

THE HARDEST THINGS TO FIND… AND WHERE TO FIND THEM

CONDUITS

Making a conduit requires you to find TWO pretty rare items! The heart of the sea, which you can only find in buried treasure chests, forms the centre. Search shipwre ks for a treasure ma , di u t e treasure, and the chest will cont in one of these rare blue orbs. T e second item is the nautilus she l. You need eight in total, and you an only get them by killing dro ned that have spawned hol ing them. The shell only dr ps one in 12 times, so you could end u killin around 96 drowned to get enoug !

Conduits

MULES

Of all the different hor e variants, mules are pro abl the rarest because the only spawn if you intention lly breed a donke with a horse – that means they can’ exist unless you make it hap en!

You can farm them by encing in a horse and donkey ogether, then feeding them bot a golden carrot or golden apple to put them in breeding mod . You can’t breed mules with any other horses includin donk s or other mules – like in re l life, mules are sterile!

Mules

MUSICDISCS

There are 13 music discs to find, each of which has a di erent track on it that you can hear by putting it in a jukebox. Watch out for the creepy, broken mu ic disc, which has the title “11”! Two of the discs – “13” and “c t” – can be found in some type of chest in the Overworld. All of the others, except for the igstep disc found in bastion r mnant chests, only drop if a c eeper Music discs is killed b a skeleton’s arrow – a pretty rare occurre ce!

Step six

g mechanism » STEP FOUR: Place the stone button on either side of the cannon’s rear, and run redstone dust up the left- and ri ht-hand sides of the barrel. The redst ne should stop one block before the q artz slab on one side, and run onto the the other, as in the scr enshot.

ver! » STEP SEVEN: At this point, the water ill push the primed TNT towards th end of the barrel, and when those blocks xplode the final piece should go flying f rwards! There will be a huge explosion at the end of the barrel, but the water sh components from bein damaged.

Step five

Step seven

» STEP FIVE: The am unition Now all you have to do is prime your cannon. Attach a piece of TNT to the ammo holder and then up to four blocks on the ground where t e water is. Make sure you don’t acciden ally delete the water source block! Th more TNT you load into the barrel at this stage, the further the final block ill be thrown. » STEP SIX: Fire!

To fire the cannon, pre s the button on the left to prime the fir t four blocks, and then a second or t o later press the button on the right to rime the ammo.

Now remember to stan

» STEP EIGHT: Survey your handiwork If all has gone well, the TNT will blow up when it lands, takin a chunk of landscape with it. You an reuse this cannon by simply loadi g it up with TNT again and again. Enjoy!

They generate as art of many structures, including village , shipwrecks, stronghold and woodland mansions. When closed, a door will function as a wall to m st mobs, sto ping them from seeing into ooms or pas ing .

Breaking a do r will cause i to drop itself as an item. You an do this w th an axe or an empty hand. Using no axe will take 4.5 seconds to break the door, a d using a golden axe will ake 0.4 seco ds.

CRAFTING A DOOR Wooden doors are crafte from wood

lanks and ach recipe u es six planks to make three doors. All of the planks must be the same type o wood, as thi will determi nd design of the result ng door. The e are six types of do r for each ty e of wood – oak, spruce, birch, jungle dark oak.

It’s also p ssible to cra t doors usin cr mson or warped p nks co ecte from giant fungus in the Nether. Th se obey the same rules s planks, mak ng three of each type of door (warped or crimson) with their o n unique designs.

Place two doors next to each other, and they’ll instantly form double oors.

that looks similar to oak doors, except that the recipe contains six ir n ingots instead of six wood planks, producing three iron doors. Iron doors can only be opened by redstone charges, so ou’ll probably need to connect a lever, pressure plate or button to the door in or er to open and close it.

Unlike wooden doors, if you break an iron door with your h nds or any non-pickaxe item, it will e destroyed and not drop as an item. This takes 25 seconds to do. Breaking an iron door with r ll drop in 3.75 seconds (wooden) or 0.65 seconds (golden).

Netherite swords are more durable

mage, compared to a d amond sword? - Ewan

Here’s the thing – rogramming a videogame is a lot of work, and even the grown-u s who do it need a break som times. Especially after the exhausti g year we’ve all had! Rather than stress ever one out, Minecraft’s o ners decided it would make more ense to release the features that ad been finished and give everyon more time to get the rest of the work done properly.

That way Minecraft’s players get new content more quickly, and Minecraft’s devel pers don’t have too much work.

S re! Netherite swords ave about 25% more durability points, so t , ey take e chantments differently – a etherite sword, like a s ord, has 15 enchant ent points v rsus diamond’s 10 p ints, iron’s 1 points and gold’s 2 points.

TOP 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

Ready for some roar-some builds from around the world?

Here’s our round-up of ten amazing dinosaur-themed Minecraft projects. Which of these is your favourite?

A must for Jurassic World fans

SSICRESORT

you’ve seen the film Jurassic World, u might remember the enormous eme park in that particular movie. rdrovisqui Company has put gether that park in terrific detail in s Minecraft map, and we spotted so ny details from the film! It’s some piece of work, and looks a lot of fun to explore. www.tinyurl.com/mcw80topten9

A work of art!

SITEB

TOP TEN DINOSAUR BUILDS

Another build influenced by the Juras Park series of films, this one – from Honse – is the Site B location from t second movie. Here, you can explore the secret lair of the InGen corporati as it attempts to make dinosaurs for its theme parks. Just be careful – you never know what will be around the corner… www.tinyurl.com/mcw80topten8

Small but perfectly formed dino habitat

DAWNOFTHE DINOSAURS

Further homage to Jurassic Park

JURASSIC PLANET

A gigantic map to expl re this, which might not h ve the depth of detail of some of the builds here but more than makes u for it with there being s much to it! It’s the work of _CoolCreeper_, and we’ve just shown you a picture of the huge pool – but there’s soooo much more to uncover! www.tinyurl.com/ mcw80topten6

A smaller map than some of the others we’ve covered here, but don’t be fooled: there’s an area waiting to be habited by dinosaurs right here. It’s the work of Polygon Creations, and they’ve put in lots of greenery and plenty of natural habitat to contain the nos. At least in theory…! www.tinyurl.com/mcw80topten7

A HUGE map to explore!

DINOSKULL

Visit this map at your own risk!

Sometimes with a build it’s not a case of doing something huge that takes weeks to finish. Sometimes it’s worth picking something precise and doing it really well.

Step forward mitsiee, who decided to build a huge dino skull – and we think they made a terrific job of it too! www.tinyurl.com/mcw80topten5

ERAKLOR

re’s an amazing map from andmaster Senpai, who lists films such The Croods, Ice Age and – of course!

Jurassic Park amongst the influences r it. It’s a small natural map, and you ’t have to look far to see a sizeable osaur looming over it! www.tinyurl.com/mcw80topten4

DINO MUSEUM! A gloriously detailed dinosaur museum

ere’s something a little more axed and a lot safer too, all lt by TheJeroen. They’ve ut together a museum to lore dinosaur fossils, it’s a nice, sedate and ecidedly less dangerous way xplore these creatures of eryear! We might even et ourselves an ice cream as take a look around… .tinyurl.com/ w80topten3

DINOSAUR VALLEY

Here’s a huge natural habit for dinosaurs to roam, all in a massively impressive valley. Created by Grandmaster Dragonhorn, it’s an enormous world where dinosaurs live, fight, eat and – in some cases – fly! It’s a wonderfully detailed place for them to live, and a gigantic area to look around too. www.tinyurl.com/ mcw80topten2

JURASSICMINECRAFT How could we resist this? A special map from TheCrazyTitan that takes lots of ingredients from the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films and gives them a distinctly Minecraft flavour! There are nine

individual zones in this amazing build, as well as lots to explore outside the complex. It’s dino-tastic! www.tinyurl.com/mcw80topten1
