In Minecraft, The End doesn’t mean the end. In fact, it was just the
beginning! For it’s next trick, Mojang looked to the horizon, and the
fittingly named Discovery Update shows that there are plenty of amazing
possibilities still to explore. In Volume 20 of The Ultimate Guide to
Minecraft, we set out on an epic journey of discovery, counting down all
the best new features that Pocket and Windows 10 players can expect
from the update. We’ll guide you through the mysterious Woodland
Mansion, preparing you to face its dangerous inhabitants, and highlight
some of the dazzling designs you can create with the new decorative
blocks at your disposal. We’ll also take you on a tour of two familiar
worlds that have been reimagined in wonderfully blocky fashion – the
Mushroom Kingdom and the Land of Ooo. For the aspiring builders
among you, we’ve got expert guides on assembling everything from a
steampunk-inspired airship to an amazing underground lair. You’ll find all
this and much more within these pages. So what are you waiting for?

How to make
SHADERS
shaders work
1 Before you start grabbing every shader you can see, you’ll
need to download and install the following bits and pieces:
Minecraft Forge http://bit.ly/1iTpoDF

Optifine http://bit.ly/21hI29Y
GLSL Shaders Mod http://bit.ly/1wdaxqj
Read the install instructions for each one, as they all require
a slightly different process. Also remember that Minecraft
has recently updated, too, so always try to grab the most
recent patch wherever possible.
2 Once they’re all safely installed, you’re ready to go.

First grab yourself some shaders, and drop them in the
following location: %appdata%\.minecraft\shaderpacks
You won’t need to extract the files.
3 When you run the game, press the options button in the
menu, then select shaders. Then simply click on the shader
you want, and voila! A new world awaits you.
How to allocate
more memory
to Minecraft
Some of the shaders ask serious questions
of the measly 1GB RAM that Minecraft uses.
Don’t worry though – it’s easy to share the load.
• First off, find out how much RAM your PC has. However
much you have, remember that you’ll need some spare
for other functions, such as your operating system. For
example, if you have 20GB to play with, consider allocating
no more than 12GB to Minecraft.
• We’re assuming you’re running the most recent version
of the game, so you should have the Minecraft launcher.
This is where you tweak things. Right click on Minecraft and
choose to run it as an administrator. You have the power!
• At the bottom of the launcher you’ll see a dropdown menu
next to ‘Version’. Click the ‘edit profile’ button next to it.
• When the menu opens, go to the ‘Java Settings
(Advanced)’ section. Add a tick to the ‘JVM Arguments’ box.
This lets you modify the Minecraft program directly.
• It should say ‘-Xmx1G’ in the JVM Arguments box. This is
the thing you want to change. That means 1GB is allocated
to Minecraft. You need to change the number. So, if you
were allocating 4GB, you’d change it to ‘-Xmx4G’. If you were
changing it to 8GB, it’d be -Xmx8G’, and so on. Simple.
• Save your profile before exiting. This is important!
• Run Minecraft, knowing that your PC is now working
harder to make things look wonderful.
• If you want to check that it worked, press F3 while playing
to open the console. The ‘Allocated Memory’ message
should tell you how much Minecraft is using. That’s it!

ack in December, Mojang gave us The Ender Update – a huge patch
that introduced Minecraft players like us to loads of new items,
creatures and ways to play. More importantly, it introduced The
End – the fourth and final dimension of Minecraft, bringing its subtle
background story to a close. But that doesn’t mean Mojang is turning its
back on the ‘Craft. In fact, its new update promises plenty of new secrets
to discover…
There are so many things just waiting to be found, from treasures buried in new areas
such as the Woodland Mansions to new enchantments that will completely transform how
you create and survive in Minecraft. There are even new blocks to use – ranging from Glazed
Terracotta to Concrete – so you’ll have brand-new ways to build and craft. So sit back and relax
as we take you on a tour of the Discovery Update’s best bits…

01
Welcome
to the
Market
bit.ly/2r7kIVd
T
he biggest addition to the Windows
10 and Pocket Editions of Minecraft is
the Marketplace, a brand-new area in
Minecraft where players can go to buy, download
and play cool creations designed by Mojang
and the community. For both new ‘Crafters and
those of us who have been playing for years, the
Marketplace finally gives us all a way to access
things like skins and maps without having to
download maps or texture packs from
elsewhere on the web.
For instance, you can buy adventure
maps that open up access to new worlds filled
with treasure and more. You can pick up so
many things in the Marketplace, you’ll soon
be wondering how you ever played Minecraft
without it.

rules
bit.ly/2r7kIVd
T
he Discovery Update is more than just new modes and
items. Minecraft has kept going this long because its
creators are always finding ways to improve it, and that’s
what we’re all getting with this latest update. There are new
additional game rules, with each one adding a new fun spin on
the world of blocky building. These commands are doFireTick,
doMobSpawning, doTileDrops, MobGriefing, doEntityDrops,
KeepInventory, doMobLoot and doDaylightCycle and they’ll no
doubt give you even more creative control over your builds.

nchanting might not be for everyone, but if you’re looking
to give certain items or blocks a special power or extra
ability, the Enchanting Table can be a real game-changer. To
keep us all in the mood to augment our gear, Mojang has patched
in two brand-new enchantments – Frost Walker and Mending. The
Mending enchantment is actually an improvement on an existing
enchantment, which helps to make certain items stronger so they’ll
last longer. Frost Walker, on the other hand, will enable you to walk
on water!

o bring it in line with the console versions, Minecraft
in Pocket Edition and Windows 10 now has a third
game mode to join the classic Creative and Survival
– Adventure mode. Think of it as a mode that combines
ideas from the two main modes to create a place where you
and other players can create worlds with certain rules.
Adventure mode will enable you to create worlds
that others can then explore, creating everything from
zombie-filled arenas to adventure playgrounds filled with
treasure and loot. It’s also a place to try these scenarios out
for yourself.

just a cute and fantastic beast either – you can
store items on its hump by throwing them at
its back. If you’re using a map purchased in the
Marketplace to explore new places (such as the
spooky Woodland Mansions), then a llama is a
perfect buddy to have at your side.

bit.ly/2r7kIVd
A
s you can see, the Discovery Update is adding a lot of
new things to the world of Pocket Edition and Windows
10 Minecraft, including some interesting fresh changes to
smelting. Smelting (the process of turning metal objects into nuggets)
now extends to both iron and gold-based tools. This means you can
take any tools in your inventory made of these two materials and
smelt them down into either iron or gold nuggets. It’s a small change,
but a big one if you need to craft something new but supplies are low.

This year saw Minecraft finally make
its way onto another Nintendo
platform with its arrival on the
tabletop/handheld mashup that is
the Nintendo Switch. Taking all of the
best parts from the Pocket Edition
and adding in loads of content from
the bigger versions, Minecraft on
Nintendo Switch is definitely the
ultimate portable way to get crafting
with blocks.
The Switch version of the game
offers co-op modes so that you can
play multiplayer with friends, and
Mojang has filled this fully portable
edition with a ton of Nintendo-
themed skins and worlds for you to
explore. If you want to play Minecraft
away from home, this is the best
edition money can buy.

rading with the new Cartographer villager in the
Marketplace enables you to purchase a special
map that reveals a new kind of structure – the
Woodland Mansion. These unusual (and very rare)
buildings are usually found only in the roofed forest biome
and they’re normally filled with Illagers – a villager that’s
turned really nasty!
These structures are randomly generated, with each
one usually having two to three floors and plenty of
rooms for you to explore. Those creepy Illagers don’t
exactly take too kindly to people just wandering about
their spooky homes, but for those who are brave enough
to push on, there’s something incredibly cool to be found
inside the mansion…

Y
ou think the Illagers were bad? Those
Woodland Mansions contain a baddie that’s
even nastier – the Evoker. This dastardly
customer can be a real handful – especially since he can
summon flying beasts called Vexes – but once you’ve
defeated this mob you can recover a special item from
his robes: the Totem of Undying.
This incredibly rare trinket has the power to bring
a player back from death when playing in modes
such as Survival. To make it work you’ll need to have it
equipped in either your main hand or in an off-hand slot
(simply having it in your inventory won’t be enough).

and items to create and customise. Download the Discovery Update and
you’ll get just that – this time in the form of Glazed Terracotta blocks and
Concrete. Concrete can also be mined for Concrete Powder (which can then be
used to craft, you guessed it… Concrete!). The update also includes the addition of
proper dyeable beds (without the need to add any mods), so you can customise
your place of slumber as much as you like.

If you go down to the roofed forest today...

check out the amazing new Woodland Mansions
I
If you’ve been discovering the exciting features in Minecraft’s latest updates,
you’re bound to have come across the mysterious Woodland Mansions,
brand new structures that can be found deep in roofed forest biomes and
nowhere else. Often located thousands of blocks from your spawn point, the
Mansions are hard to find – but once you’ve explored one, you’ll want to return
again and again.
Although there’s plenty of cool stuff to see and do in these impressive
buildings, the Mansions are also inhabited by Illagers who can’t wait to jump out at you and defeat you
– which is why we’ve put together the ultimate Mansions tips and tricks list. We’ll show you how to find a
Mansion, get in, grab what you need, defeat the bad guys and be on your way without taking too much
damage from Vindicators, Evokers and Vexes!

one of these rare structures – but if
you want to do this the old-fashioned
(and honourable!) way, take advantage of the
Exploration Update’s new Cartographer career
for a Librarian villager. He’ll sell you an Explorer

which you can then use to find a Mansion. It

need
A
Woodland Mansion may look like a
charming dwelling, but you’re going to face
serious opposition once you’re inside. Make
sure you’ve got a diamond sword, or that you’ve
got expert combat skills if it’s an iron one. A shield
goes without saying, too – and if you’ve got armour,
preferably enchanted, that will frequently come in
handy. A store of food will help you regain saturation,
especially a juicy steak or two. And keep an axe
handy for close encounters!
MINECRAFT
03 break
and enter
T
here’s a bunch of different ways to get
inside the Woodland Mansion of your
choice. You could simply walk in the
front door, but where’s the fun in that? Instead,
spice up your attack strategy by axing your way
through the walls. If you’re feeling cautious, tunnel
up through the floor. And if you want to go “full
Commando”, why not smash through the roof for
maximum surprise? Just don’t disturb the giant cat
or knock over the flowers…
04
establish
a base
A
cunning trick is to keep a stock of building
blocks on hand. You can use these to create a
quick and effective protective zone, effectively a
room, which you can utilise as a safe place to hide when
the attentions of the Illagers get too intense. Have some
doors ready to use, of course. A corner section of a room
or corridor is the best place to craft your hideaway, we
reckon, although you’ll need to check as you leave that an
Evoker isn’t about to launch its fangs attack at you as you
walk out of the door...

Take out mobs
this way
As with any campaign in
Minecraft, plan your attack
as carefully as possible. In the
Woodland Mansions, you’ve
got two very powerful mobs to
contend with – Vindicators and
Evokers. While Vindicators will
inflict 19 damage on you (on Hard
difficulty) and Evokers only six,
the latter are arguably harder
to defeat because they attack
in two, particularly frustrating
ways – with their offensive
and defensive fangs, and by
05 shine
summoning a posse of Vexes.
Take these enemies out first
before moving on to the much
more manageable Creepers,
a light
Witches, Spiders, Zombies and
Skeletons. And remember, just
because a room has a flower in
it, it doesn’t mean the Illagers
like you...
T
he Mansions don’t make it easy on any
visitor, with very little light inside to see
by – and it gets worse when you head up
a level. The first floor doesn’t have windows and is
very dark, meaning that you’ll need to be ready to
fight at an instant’s notice. Take it from us, mobs of
Illagers – or Vindicators and Evokers to their mums
– will not hesitate to spawn on the spot or leap out
06 floor
at you from around a corner. Stay alert.
show
E
vokers have a secret weapon that you’re not
going to like! They have what are known as
fangs, but not stashed away in their mouths...
these fangs suddenly shoot up through the floor,
spaced a block apart, just looking to stab you from
beneath. Luckily, they can be stopped by a solid block,
so be ready to deploy one – and note that there are two
‘bites’, an offensive straight line attack used if you’re
more than three blocks away, and a slightly less deadly
defensive version in a dual circular format, used if
you’re closer. Stay well clear, or you’ll be toast!
MINECRAFT
07 axe
attack
A
s well as Creepers and Skeletons,
there’s a second kind of Illager
out to get you in the Woodland
Mansion alongside those pesky Evokers – the
Vindicators. Less sophisticated than the Evokers
but just as dangerous, these bad boys will
attempt to kill you on sight with an iron axe,
often an enchanted one. They’re hostile towards
villagers too, which makes them double evil.
Take one of them down and it will usually drop
an emerald. Expect to tussle with these nasties
on a regular basis – as soon as you enter a room
in a Woodland Mansion, they will spawn singly,
in groups of three, or in pairs accompanied by
an Evoker.

O
kay, so you know how to get into the
Mansion, and you know who to expect.
What the deuce is actually in there?
Well, expect two or three floors, diminishing in
size as you go higher; a network of corridors; a
large entrance hall; and rooms with flowerpots,
pumpkins, cobblestone tables – and one
particularly sticky room full of cobwebs and a
Spider spawner at its centre. What are you doing
in these rooms? Grabbing loot, of course...

to nab
T
here’s tons of loot in every
Woodland Mansion, although the
structure is randomly generated so
the amount of nickable stuff will vary from
Mansion to Mansion. Chests are all over
the building, some of which are rigged with
TNT and will explode if you open them, so
be aware! The most commonly available
items are bone, gunpowder, rotten flesh
(yum!) and string, but there’s wheat, bread,
coal and redstone around too if you look
hard enough.
10 seeing is
believing
T
ime for your medicine! Get an invisibility potion
down your neck and you’ll enjoy a massive
advantage in a Woodland Mansion, just as you
do in the rest of the Minecraft universe. As long as you
don’t actually touch a mob, they can’t see you and won’t
attack you, so you’re quids in and can help yourself
to the Mansion goodies. But remember, if you wear
armour or carry an item in your hand, that makes you
slightly visible to them. Bear in mind the simple rule:
wear one piece of armour and you’ll be seen by mobs a
block away. Wear two and it’s three blocks. Wear three,
and it’s nine!

F
ound a room with a rectangular table with
an open end? Congratulations, you’re in the
toughest part of any Woodland Mansion.
In this room, no fewer than five Vindicators and an
Evoker will spawn as you enter – good luck fighting
that lot on your own! A hot tip is to go in with a
friend and divide the mob-slaying up between you.
Remember that invisibility is useful, and if all goes
wrong, head out for the relative safety of rooms
with Spiders and Zombies.

f you’ve decided to avoid the Evokers and their
evil floor fangs – and frankly, who wouldn’t? – be
warned: you’re missing a trick. When you kill one
of these malevolent-looking beasties, it will drop a
Totem of Undying. Hold one of these in either your
main or off-hand slots and it will bring your health to
1, remove any active status effects and give you 40
seconds of regeneration and a further five seconds
of absorption. You’ll also witness a cool animation in
which the Totem of Undying hovers majestically in the
air in front of you. Just what you need after a tussle
with an Evoker!

your
takeover
O
nce you’ve defeated the Woodland Mansion
by killing all the mobs inside and gathering all
the loot you need, you’ve got some options.
You could destroy it if you so choose, perhaps by fire –
or you could utilise it as your home for as long as you
want, provided you light up all the rooms to make sure
they’re mob-free. Not all the rooms are accessible by
dedicated doors and are sealed off, so you’ll have fun
finding and opening them. Why should as impressive
a structure as this go to waste once you’ve secured it,
after all? Happy home-making!

Supercharge
a Temple
Discover how to make a desert temple much cooler
esert temples are great for loot but they’re not the most exciting structures in the blocky
D
world of Minecraft to look at. That’s where we come in. This guide is for Minecrafters who want
to take a desert temple and supercharge it to the max. We’ll show you how adding depth makes
literally everything 1000% greater, how altering colour schemes slightly improves builds, and how
using steps is the easiest way to spruce up even the most mundane structures. Or you can just
skip straight ahead to the giant Egyptian creeper statue. We won’t tell anyone. Promise!
01
add some
depth
Obviously the first thing you need to do is
find a desert temple. Once you’ve found one,
smash out all the orange blocks and replace
them with a coloured block of your choosing
(we settled on nether wart blocks). Next, build
the front of the two front towers out by one
block with sandstone, smooth sandstone, and
chiselled sandstone to create some luscious
depth. As with any build in Minecraft, adding
depth really helps bring a project to life.
02
a better
entrance
Now we’re going to turn the entryway into
something a little more grand. As with the
towers, extend the frame so it’s one block out.
Be sure to keep the same block formation when
you’re extending. So, chiselled sandstone in
front of chiselled sandstone, smooth in front of
smooth, and so on. Next grab some sandstone
steps and run them around the bottom of the
frame and upside down along the sides of the
smooth sandstone.
MINECRAFT
03
large
towers
For this next part, we’re going to need
a bigger flat area to work with on top
of each of the two towers. From the
left side of the left tower, drop a stack
of chiselled sandstone to extend the
wall and then go around the outside
of the tower with chiselled sandstone
until you reach back round to the
front. There should now be two blocks
worth of sandstone to the left and
right of the coloured pattern. Next, do
the same on the other tower.
04 Top
them off
In each of the corners of the tower,
place five cobblestone wall spikes
upwards. Run two sandstone half slabs
in the centre of the outside edge, then
place inward-facing steps either side.
Next place half slabs on the spikes and
connect them all together. Place upside-
down steps underneath, a sandstone
block on top of the half slabs on the
spikes, and this time connect those
blocks with half slabs. To finish, build
four walls inside the structure and add
the a pattern on the front.
05
Inspired
design
Next we’ll be taking some inspiration
from the original desert temple design
but with a few nice tweaks. On top of the
structure we just built on both towers,
build a 5-by-5 flat sandstone panel. Dig
down two blocks in each corner and
replace the second block with nether
wart blocks. Build another panel, 3-by-3,
in the centre, run steps around the top,
then on every middle block around the
outside, lay down a set of steps.
06
starting
the
pillar
The next 3 steps will cover our giant
pillar in the middle of the temple. Head
to the pyramid area, and in the centre,
build around the hole two blocks up.
Now let’s run sandstone steps around
the top, and one block out, around the
bottom. After that’s all complete, grab
your cobblestone walls again and in
each of the undersides of the corners,
connect it to the pyramid below.
MINECRAFT
07 The
central
cross
On top of the centre blocks, build a
12-high cross shape out of chiselled
sandstone. At the base, add in
nether wart blocks in each of the
corners for that extra bit of umph.
Now here’s the important part. On
the cross, count five blocks up. With
sandstone steps in hand, place two
sandstone steps vertically opposite
each other on each side of the
cross. Count five blocks above and
do it again.
08
The
middle
sections
Much like everything in Minecraft,
this looks harder than it actually
is. All you need to do is connect all
the sandstone steps together in a
square formation. This will leave
you with a one-block gap in each of
the corners, so just fill them in with
sandstone blocks. Once all the steps
are connected, head five blocks up
and complete the section above. Now
it’s on to the final part.
Creeper Statue
All this temple is missing is a giant Egyptian statue
1
Grab your sandstone and build a 6-by-8 cuboid
frame. Don’t worry too much about filling in the
1
walls just yet, as we’ll be building on top, so not
every wall needs to be filled in. This section is
going to act as the creeper’s feet. Normally creepers
have multiple feet, but as it’s a statue, a solid cuboid
works better.
2
Okay. Next it’s time for the body shaft. Count
two blocks from each corner in and drop
a block to mark it. Then, build each of the
stumps up by 12. Head to the top of the spikes
and connect them together. You should be left with
a rectangular frame sitting atop a cuboid frame. Is it
looking creepery yet?
3
Now we’re going to fill in the walls. Start at
the base, and with sandstone, fill in the outer
four walls before moving on to the up section
of the bottom frame. After that’s complete
you can get to filling in the four sides of the main body
frame. Don’t worry about filling in the top, flat section
of the body. That’ll be hidden.
2 3
4
Now for the head. Build another frame, this
time 8-by-6 blocks. On the inside, one block
in, build two walls on the front and back
sides out of nether wart blocks (you’ll see
why in a moment). Next up, fill in the four sides of the
wall, and the top of the head, with sandstone blocks.
5
All that’s missing from your colossal creeper
statue now is its face. For this, count one
block in from the corners and hammer out a
2-by-2 square to reveal the eyes. In between
the eyes, one-block below, carve out another 2-by-2
square. Then on the left and right of that square, mine
up two rows of three for the mouth. Creepertastic!
4 5
MINECRAFT
09
Top of
the
tower
Drop down a 3-by-3 panel out of
chiselled sandstone then build each
of the corners up by four. In the centre
gap, place down three nether wart
blocks. At the top, lay down upside-
down sandstone steps going all the
way around. Lastly, you should have a
gap in the roof area, so let’s lay more
steps in a square formation, facing up,
to finish the last part of our giant pillar.
10
The
opposite
doorway
Desert temples have four entrances in
total. We’ve redesigned the front door,
so now let’s redesign the back one.
Start by building out the door frame
by one block. Then, drop down three
sandstone blocks either side and build
five-high spikes on both ends. Add a
step formation, then connect the frame
back on itself. Add sandstone steps
around the top and nether wart blocks
in the gaps to the left and right of the
entry hole.
11 almost
there
From behind the frame, build it
into the pyramid so the backside
becomes a tunnel. Run a
horizontal row of half slabs across
the middle section (level with
the fourth block of the doorway).
Next, armed with your trusty
sandstone steps, drop them at the
bottom and top of the gap in front
of the nether wart blocks either
side of the entry way. And finally,
add steps to the upper section
and this doorway’s complete.
12

Stairway to
Somewhere
Don’t’ worry, this one’s easy. Seeing as we’ve covered
two of the four entrances, it’s time to fix up the other
two on the left and rights sides of the pyramid. All we
need to do is build the frame up with sandstone and
chiselled sandstone blocks (with steps in the corner),
then place sandstone on every block leading up
to the door, before laying down steps to create the
staircase leading in.
Build bonus
An Item
Frame
Door Lock
Build a standard door frame. Behind on the
left drop down five blocks. After the final
block, create a step into the middle and dig
up a two-deep trench. Next, place a redstone
compactor on the first block behind the door
frame and run redstone dust to the end.
On the last block add a redstone torch. Run
redstone down the step, along the trench,
until you’re one block away from where the
door will go. Now drop a block down with a
redstone torch on its face. Add in the door,
with an item frame to the left, and when you
spin an item, voila! The door will magically
open for you!

Do you see those doorholes in the back
of the towers, to the side of the stairs we
just made? Head to them and knock out
a vertical row of five blocks, then 1 block
down a row of three, and another row of
three one block below that. Go inside, and
fill in the shaped-hole with nether wart
blocks. Break your way out, replace your
escape hole and that’s this build complete!

Lost in the
mushroom
kingdom
When your pet runs off and gets
lost, do you dare to go after it?
P
ets eh? Not the smartest
bunch. How many have
you lost? Not, like, they
charged head-first into
a creeper kind of lost,
but they actually ran off
and got lost-lost. That’s
what happened to me. My pet ran off, through
a portal no less. Because that’s what they do,
they see danger and run towards it with no
regard for whether it’s a good idea or not, which
is totally different to all the times I’ve jumped
off mountains with the intention of landing in a
single-block-hole filled with water to break my
fall. Totally. Different. What’s worse is I thought
my pet would be in the Nether; a quick rush in,
grab him, get out. But no, that would be way
too simple…

MINECRAFT
hour 1
New Beginnings
I
stepped through the portal after my pet.
Because, you know, that’s what all good
owners do. It doesn’t matter if your pet is
averse to being kept safe – like the time he jumped
into a ravine headfirst into lava – actually, I forget
what my point is here. I guess it’s that no matter
how stupid, ridiculous, and annoying our pets are,
we still love them. And will therefore chase them
through a portal into who knows where, which is
what I did. Only when I passed through the portal,
I wasn’t in the nether or the end. I was somewhere
else. Somewhere strange and weird. And my
portal blew up. Typical.
hour 2
A Strange
New World
A
fter climbing through the wreckage of
what looked like a creeper explosion, I
headed outside to look for my pet. He
couldn’t have gotten far, right? How fast can they
run? Well, it turns out they run really fast. ‘Like an
ocelot that’s just seen a fish’ kind of fast. Outside
this little – now wrecked – room was a landscape
filled to the brim with trees, oversized sentient
mushrooms, a cannonball with teeth (teeth! How
is that even a thing?!), and oddities I’ve never seen
before. Where I am is the opposite of where I was,
and everywhere looks… oddly peaceful.

hour 3
Who is this Guy?
I
made my way through the world. Across the green
until my little legs couldn’t take any more. As my
stomach rumbled, I decided to check the surrounding
area for food. With all these trees about, finding some
nice juicy apples was a piece of cake. Sadly, I couldn’t find
anything to make an actual cake, though. As I continued
my journey, I met a man. I forget his name (I think it was
Larry O?). Either way, I asked him if he’d seen my pet. “It’s-
a-me!” he shrieked. “No, no, I know who you are, that’s not
what I ask-” he cut me off. “Wah-ha!” he proclaimed, before
jumping away.
MINECRAFT
hour 4
In the Woods Tonight
T
hat Larry O. guy was useless! I can still hear a faint
whisper carried on the wind. “Woo-hoo…” Idiot. I
hoped the next person I found was more helpful.
Anyway, I carried on walking, and eating apples. I found
my way into a forest. The trees. The trees! I swear I could
hear them speaking. “Go back,” “Not here,” “Escape!”
Nevertheless I pushed on. I would’ve hacked one down
and turned it into a sword, but you know, talking trees
are scary, yo! Eventually I came to a house. The dirt floor
beneath me creaked like stepping on wood, and then,
suddenly, the trees stopped whispering and all noise faded
as I timidly tapped the door…
hour 5
Another Castle
O
Oo’s out there? This is my ‘ouse,” an elderly voice
called from within. I slowly entered, one foot in
front of the other, step by step. I came face-to-
face with a woman in pink. I think she said her name was
‘Beach’(?). “Lost yer little friend, ‘ave ya? I get lost all the
time. Sometimes I end up in castles all alone,” she cackled.
I could see by the look of disdain on her face, I was in the
wrong neck of the woods. Literally. With a few backwards
steps, I threw my remaining apples at her and ran.

hour 6
Wah-ha-ha-ha!
S
o this was going pretty well so far… I hadn’t died, but I was without food and I’d used up all my sprinting. Good
times… Now where was my pet?! The night sky had gotten pretty dark, and you know what happens at night?
All the nasty mobs come out to play. I saw a light in the distance and headed towards it. It was a small, kind of
ugly, fort with a funny-looking humanoid-turtle (hurtle?) in front. His name was Trouser. Or Wowser. I didn’t know. He
seemed friendly enough, but hadn’t seen my pet, so I bid him farewell and continued on.
MINECRAFT
hour 7
My New Castle
I
figured, as you do, I was gonna be here
for some time. So what better idea than
to build my very own castle? This is the
castle I totally built myself. Never mind that
it’s daylight in the picture, that was an, errm,
the sun, yeah, actually, never mind. To build
this, you’ll need between 1 and 5,000 blocks
of cobblestone. Some red blocks. Look, I don’t
know the name of them, okay? Whatever that
picture is in the middle. Some of those window
things. Okay, okay, fine. Fine! I didn’t build it. I
made it up. I am sorry!
expand your game
hour 8
What I Actually Built
O
kay. So. I’m no master builder. You got me. Instead,
as the darkness of the night sky started to let
up, I built a dirt hut. Literally the worst dirt hut
you’ve ever seen. And the door on the front? I stole that
from a nearby fort. Don’t look at me like that, I don’t have
opposable thumbs! Building is hard! And to make matters
all that much worse, after I finished building my lovely dirt
hut, it turns out there was a freaking mushroom house
right next door I could have stayed in. TYPICAL!
hour 9
A Fun Guy
W
ith the sun back up (I don’t know why
night only lasts 2 hours, it just does), I
enquired inside that mushroom house.
I was told to go and speak to a mushroom man
by the name of ‘Road’. Isn’t it strange they live in
mushrooms, eat mushrooms, and are mushrooms?
Anywho. I met with Road. He babbled on about how
“I’m not saying his name right,” and something about
his “printers being in another castle.” Who knows. He
had, however, seen my pet, and pointed me in the
right direction before patting me on the head.

I was a human did you? I’m quite clearly a dog. A human
wouldn’t be able to find a lost dog, but a dog sure could
find a human. I can’t believe you thought I was a human.
Outrageous! Could a human release the cannonball with
teeth from its hinge so it flies into the wall and lets the
trapped human inside free? No, they couldn’t. I could,
though, and did!

Bone
S
teve, my pet, thanked
me for saving him for the
millionth time this month,
and patronisingly ruffled my fur. “I
don’t know about you, but I’ve had
enough of this place,” he told me.
From the bits of the cannonball
teeth monster (seriously, why does
it have teeth?), Steve made a stone
sword and a stone pickaxe. I’d
have done it myself, but opposable
thumbs and all that. Ignoring my
advice, Steve dug straight down.
We both fell into a fiery pit, (Steve
actually fell in lava but I pulled
him out – a million and 1 times
this month, now). Next to the pit,
thankfully, was our escape route:
Another portal.

hour 12
Who’s a Good Boy
A
nd with that, our story ends at last. We
stepped through the portal and found
ourselves back in our village. Well, Steve
spawned down a well. Yes, I saved him. Yes, it was
the millionth and second time this month. And yes,
I probably should have left him. That’d teach him
to not get himself into trouble. But here’s the thing,
though: He’s my pet. And no matter how stupid,
ridiculous, and annoying our pets are, we still love
them. We love them and we’d do anything for them.
Now, where in the world is my treat?
Conclusion
Humans are stupid. Don’t get a human as a pet. They love getting
themselves into danger, they pick fights with skeletons with only their
fists to protect them, and they ALWAYS stare at Endermen. Even dogs
know not to stare at Enders. Crikey, you can teach an old dog new
tricks but you can’t teach humans not to stare at Endermen. Or not
to dig straight down. Or up. Next time you see a human, and they’re
thinking about doing something dangerous, remind them to think like
a dog. Dogs are much, much, much smarter.

A
dventure Time! C’mon, grab your friends...” Like us, when you hear
the first line of the Cartoon Network’s hit animation Adventure Time,
you probably grab your popcorn and hit the sofa for another epic tale
of the exploits of Jake (“the dog”) and Finn (“the human”). Nine seasons
since the show first took over the TV schedules, it makes perfect sense
for Minecraft and Adventure Time to hook up for a new skins pack,
downloadable for Xbox One and Windows 10.
When we say ‘skins pack’, though, we don’t mean that the mash-up is just a set of character
costumes (although there’s an impressive 51 of ’em!). The 2D Land Of Ooo, when transformed
into our favourite three-dimensional blocks, looks amazing, with a level of detail that blows our
minds. Read on for our top 10 tips for making the most of the mash-up...

01
Discs Of
Doom
W
ho doesn’t get a thrill when they open a
chest to find a music disc? There’s 12 of these
circular beauties to unearth in the Adventure
Time Mash-up: a hot tip is to head to the very top of any
structure, where there’s a strong chance that one of
them will be waiting for you. There’s one nestled away
at the top of the Ice King’s fortress, and if you climb all
the way to the top of Princess Bubblegum’s castle in the
Candy Kingdom, there’s one there too. But are we going
to tell you where all 12 are? Hey, it’s supposed to be an
Adventure – be adventurous!
MINECRAFT
02 Boxing
clever
M
ake the most of any opportunity to search a chest if
you see one. Sure, a lot of them are empty, but many
of these cute, super-useful boxes contain valuable
stuff for your inventory. One of the great things about the
Adventure Time Mash-up (let’s call it the ATM from now on and
save space!) is the detail that the designers have included inside
the structures, so where a normal Minecraft world might have
a lot of undecorated rooms, the ATM tends to cram tons of stuff
in – including chests.
03
Fit for
fighting
I
f you’re playing in Survival mode, don’t be fooled by the cheerful,
comforting look of the ATM environment. There are hostile mobs
lurking here and there, and some of them will spawn if you trigger
them by picking up an item – so beware! Craft a pickaxe or bow and
arrow at the very least if you want to make it through the game in one
piece, and don’t forget to equip yourself with armour (even though it
covers up your cool Jake or BMO skin).

04
Ice Ice
Baby!
Y
our default spawn point in the ATM is
Finn and Jake’s amazing house, which
you’ll already be familiar with from the
TV series. Look out of the window and one of the
first things you’ll see will be the Ice Kingdom, one
of our favourite features of this killer skins pack.
Head to the Ice King’s fortress and your mind will
be blown by how well the designers have adapted
the original designs. They’re obviously big fans
of the show, including a million references to the
episodes: for instance, in the Fortress you’ll find a
drum kit belonging to the evil King himself, plus a
cage where he keeps trapped princesses.
MINECRAFT
Map
05 it out
A
map is invaluable in any Minecraft
environment, we reckon, but especially so
in the ATM world, because there’s just so
many cool features and structures to explore. The
fact that everything is crammed close together also
means you can lose your bearings pretty fast, so
keep that map handy. A hot tip is to keep it in your
left hand by dragging it to the appropriate box in
your inventory (usefully, it’s just below your avatar’s
left hand).
06 Burn
baby burn
O
uch! The ATM world is full of ways to singe your soles. There’s a lava moat around
the Candy Kingdom, for starters, so don’t try and leap over it in Survival Mode – get
yourself around to the front entrance like a respectable visitor. And here’s a hot (ho
ho) tip: when faced with Magma Blocks, as you will be from time to time, make them less
likely to cause blisters by placing a stone block on top of each one.
Expand your Game
07
Night night
W
e all need a snooze now and then, and in Minecraft we’re
big fans of finding a nice bed, dropping off for forty
winks and waking up safe in the knowledge that you’ve
bagged yourself a secure respawn point. At first, though, as you
roam the ATM, you might begin to worry that beds aren’t exactly
thick on the ground – especially when Finn and Jake’s cosy house
is way back over the horizon. Relax, though: there’s a bed in more
or less the first room you enter in the Candy Kingdom. Get to it, and
nab yourself some beauty sleep.
MINECRAFT
No cloud allowed
08 O
ne of the most enjoyable features of the ATM is the sheer beauty of the landscapes
you can view from any balcony or tower top – so why let a bunch of clouds ruin
the view? Head directly to your Video Settings, where you’ll see a Render Clouds
checkbox. Uncheck it and head back for an unrestricted panorama to please the tired eyes!
Now, if only we could figure out a way to do this in real life, eh?
09 Don’t
stair
I
f you’re playing the ATM in Survival mode, there’s no
flying for you today, buddy. No problem – when you
come to a deep cave under the Ice King’s fortress,
you half-jump, half-run down the winding staircase to
explore the mysterious area beneath. Oh, but when
you try and climb back up again, you see that half the
stairway blocks are missing for some reason... Never fear.
Replace the missing blocks with stone ones of your own
and you’re on your way!
Expand your Game
10
Fangs for
everything
W
e reckon the downright coolest part of the
ATM is the Nightosphere, the terrifying
underworld reminiscent of the Nether,
which you access via a portal in the castle belonging to
Marceline the vampire. Abandon hope, all ye who enter
here! Although Marceline is a friendly character in the
TV series, her home is anything but welcoming. Once
you’re in, you’ll soon discover that a ton of hostile mobs
are out to get you, with the sky full of aggressive ghasts,
skeletons and flaming zombies. They’ll shoot at you or
execute a melee attack the moment they see you – so
stay vigilant and stay equipped with weapons.

Killer new glazed terracotta and concrete
blocks are now available – so let’s get building
T
he most fundamental element of Minecraft building has to
be blocks. Whatever their colour or material, it’s the big cubes
that make up the basis of pretty much everything we do –
whether we’re fighting, exploring or just plain old construction.
The recent Discovery Update added a whole load of cool new
blocks into the existing range, with 16 glazed terracotta variants
and a further 16 new concrete blocks to build with in the Pocket
Edition. There’s also a block range made from concrete powder,
which transforms to concrete when contacted by water,
making them ideal for trapping and other cunning moves.
Sure, the glazed terracotta range is primarily an aesthetic tool,
but hey, what’s wrong with looking good? We want to build
structures that please the eyes as well as expand our universe,
after all. Read on for ten amazing ways to be the cool new kid
on the block...
Discovery Special
01
Little
and
lovely
L
et’s kick off with one simple mission – to
make smaller Minecraft features brighter,
more vivid and more likely to frazzle your
buddies’ eyeballs. Whoever designed the 16 new
glazed terracotta blocks has clearly never heard
of the philosophy of ‘less is more’, using dayglo
colours that the most demented chameleon would
balk at. Why have a black structure when it can be
pink? Why have a grey swimming pool when it can
be electric blue? Whatever your building needs,
‘glazed’ and ‘terracotta’ should be the words you
type into your inventory search box if you want to
make a bold impression.
MINECRAFT
02
art attack
S
ometimes you don’t need to build anything recognisably
structural in Minecraft – it’s a fantastic tool for simple,
artistic expression. Seen a cool pattern you like? Dive into
it and experiment with simplicity and repetition. It’s like being at
school all over again, but without having some tyrant of a teacher
forcing you to draw pictures of an old vase. Enter creative mode,
forget about hostile mobs for once and enjoy the moment.
Picasso would have loved Minecraft, we reckon.
03
build
colour
M
ake your larger structures stand
out from the crowd with the new
terracotta blocks. Towers, cabins,
temples, mansions – either build from scratch
with the new colours or spice up existing ones
with a splash of colour here and there. The
only limits are your time, imagination and the
parameters of your crafting table. Running
out of glazed terracotta? Smelt new ones and
restock your arsenal. That scale model of the
Colosseum in Rome will look much better in
lime green!
Discovery Special
04
smelt it!
S
o how do we get those prized glazed
terracotta blocks into our inventory if
we’re in Survival or Hardcore mode?
Fortunately, it’s a simple process. Simply
bring up your crafting table and make sure
you’ve got some form of fuel – wood or
coal will do it – as well as a dyed terracotta
block, itself made from a clay block, which
has been through the furnace with a dye of
your choice. This dye determines what your
finished glazed terracotta block looks like
in one of several patterns and 16 colours. Of
course, if you’re in Creative mode, you’ll have
an infinite supply of everything you need –
but you never know…
MINECRAFT
05
set up
a trap
T
he new concrete blocks are heavy
and will inflict serious damage on
any player. Why not make use of this
interesting property by setting up a trap?
Lure an unexpected player into a confined
space, perhaps with some useful loot as
bait. A lever will tempt them to pull it if
they’re over-confident – you could even lead
them up to it with a sign promising goodies!
Once they hit the lever, your ton of concrete
sends them back to their spawn point!
Discovery Special
06
stronger
than all
L
ooking for something other than clay or
wool to build with? Concrete is an excellent
alternative. With solid colours, decent blast
resilience and (obviously) increased strength, it’s
perfect for heavy-duty construction in a multitude
of colours. As we’ve seen, combining water and
concrete powder is the way to make it – you’ll need a
pickaxe – of any kind – to mine it once it’s solid. Note
that concrete powder behaves like sand or gravel
and is subject to gravity.
Warn
07 ’em off!
E
nsure that enemy players get a clear
message about not trespassing on your
property with warning images – a Creeper,
Vindicator or Zombie face is always good – using
super-bright glazed terracotta blocks. Conversely,
if you want to encourage your friends to head in a
particular direction, take advantage of the Magenta
block (#0237), which has an arrow handily printed
on it. Far be it from us to suggest that you should
ever create a fake series of arrow trails leading
gullible players into a lethal trap rigged with TNT…
That would be wholly unethical – but also brilliant!
MINECRAFT
slime time
A
little-known advantage of using glazed terracotta blocks is that they don’t stick
to slime blocks unless attached to the front or back of said slime – place them
on the sides, top or bottom of a slime block and they won’t move with it when
it’s pulled. So what, we hear you say? Well, for starters this means that you can create a
08
glazed terracotta tower, top it off with a slime block, use it as a trampoline and remove
the slime at the end without destroying the whole thing.
09
time to
Tessellate
T
he last time you heard the word ‘tessellate’,
you were probably about eight years old and
doing art at primary school. However, the art
of symmetry lends itself to Minecraft like few other
environments, thanks to a particular property of glazed
terracotta blocks that we’ve alluded to indirectly already.
The texture of each block will rotate according to the
direction you’re facing, so if you place a few of them in
a two by two or larger group, their textures will align
seamlessly and you’ll have created a masterpiece.
Discovery Special
reflect
real life 10
I
t’s your buddy’s birthday: craft them a glazed
terracotta message. Or it’s your football team’s
big day: send them a message in living colour!
Whatever your allegiance, event or cause may be,
reflect it with 16 kinds of block in Minecraft and send a
screenshot to the relevant person. Sure, you can do this
with regular blocks – but with the new glazed ones in
your inventory, you can do it bigger, louder and more
inventively. How cool would the last general election
have been if everyone had crafted a stunning red, blue,
yellow, green or purple banner and shared it online?

Welcome

The perfect dig for every Minecraft hero – learn how to

E
anymore? Why not have a LAIR?! This build guide will tell you all about how to
go about making your very own cavern, how TNT can make realistic Minecraft
caves, how to use water and platforms to create a home even Batman would
be proud of, and for those of you looking for an extra challenge, we’ll talk you
through how to create a working up-and-down elevator.
Minecr aft Nastercl ass
01
blow
it up
First things first, find a nice big
space and dig a two-wide hole
around 50-70 blocks down. Now
for the fun part. Dig a 70-long-ish,
two-high corridor and fill it with
TNT. Grab a flint and steel then
set it off. You should be left with
a decent-sized room. Now add
more TNT and blow it up again.
Keep doing this until you’ve left
yourself with a giant cave. Oh,
and be sure to grab some night
vision potions!
02
fill it up
With our new cave hollowed out, next we’ll
need to fill the bottom with water. Due to the
ground not being level, what’s important here
is to pick the right water level. Generally you
want it about five blocks deep, but remember,
wherever you place your first water bucket,
the rest of the water needs to be level with that
first one. Dropping buckets around the outside
in a clockwise fashion is a good way to keep
everything level.
MINECRAFT
03
the first
platform
To build our first platform we need to find
the rough centre of the cave – it doesn’t
have to be exact. From here we’ll build the
shape shown in the water out of quartz
pillars. The dimensions are: four blocks, two
blocks left, one block, turn, two blocks then
another four blocks. If you repeat this four
times in total, the shape will join back on
itself. When you’re finished, build the pillars
downwards to below sea-level.
04 the
finishing
touches
With the base section built, extend
the pillars so they’re five blocks above
sea-level. Next, add coal blocks to your
hotbar, then run them around the outside
of the quartz platform. Fill in the inside,
also with coal blocks, and then knock out
four two-by-two holes and replace with
sea lanterns. At this point your cave will
have some light, but keep using the night
vision potions for now. There’s not quite
enough light yet to see clearly.
05
Build the
Second
platform
From the right side of the platform
build two sets of two-wide steps out of
quartz blocks. Next, one block to the
right underneath the bottom steps,
build a row of three. Do this five more
times to create a jagged pathway. End
by building a two-wide straight strip that
connects to the nearest wall. One block
away from the start of the strip, drop one
block on each of the sides to create a
sword shape.
06
shape
becomes
platform
Now, let’s turn the sword section into
another platform. From the two single
blocks you just placed, lay down two
blocks one block away diagonally, then
one, then two again, then build into a
straight into the wall. Do the same for the
opposite side. Afterwards, run coal blocks
all around the outside of the steps, the
jagged path, and the platform, and lay
black glass blocks on top. Then fill in the
platform, add sea lanterns, and now this
one is done.
MINECRAFT
07 the third
platform
Head back to the centre platform. Look
to the North side, and build steps out of
quartz blocks heading up to the furthest
wall. When you’re around eight blocks
from the ceiling, grab some stone
blocks and create a flat square platform
built into the nearby wall. With black
coal, run around the outside of the new
platform as well as the staircase. Finally,
drop black glass blocks on top of the
coal to continue the overall décor.
08
The long
walkway
Back at the centre platform, look to
the South side and build a four-wide
runway from here all the way to the
southern wall, leading towards where
you first entered after digging down
and dropping TNT. Grab your sea
lanterns and replace every second
block on the left-and-right of the
runway. Add black glass above the
left-and-right sides, and then you’re
free to drink some milk to check
out how the cave lights up – then
remember to drink the night vision
potion again afterwards!
Redstone Lift
The only way is up (and down)!
1
At the end of the long runway coming from the
south side of the centre platform, drop down
1
two quartz blocks coming off both sides of the
glass blocks. Then, build a two-wide column all
the way up to ground level. You’ll also want to clear
space around this structure, so break all the blocks
within a four-block radius of the quartz.
2
From the base of the back column, count two
blocks up and on every second block, place
a piston facing down on the left and a piston
facing up on the right. Both pistons should be
next to each other. To finish, place a button below and
a block out from the pistons on the left. It’ll all make
sense soon…
3
The redstone for this looks harder than it
actually is. On the floor to the left of the
two-block quartz coming off the glass, place
a row of two stone blocks with redstone on.
Drop an up-facing piston behind the stone with a block
of sand on. A stone block with a repeater on goes to
2 3
the left of the piston. Then mine out the two blocks
behind the pistons and lay redstone on the right and a
repeater on the left.
4
Once everything is in place, you should
be left with a gap behind the up and down
pistons. Place a stone block behind the left
piston (when viewed from behind) then
another stone block up and right one block. Trail
Redstone dust over these two blocks. The down part of
the bottom left lift should work now.
5
To get the whole lift working you’ll need to
repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for every set of up
and down pistons your shaft has. The first few
are the hardest, but once you hit your fourth
or fifth, you’ll be a pro and it’ll feel a lot easier. If you’re
after a case to house the redstone, head back to the 4
underground lair and build Step 12 and Step 13 around
the Redstone contraption.
MINECRAFT
09
build a
staircase
On the left side of the centre platform, we’re
going to build some super swanky stairs.
Grab your black glass blocks and lay one
down, then another diagonally behind and
up one block. Keep dropping down black
glass until you near the ceiling, then drop
half quartz slabs on the front two sides on
the lower half of the glass blocks, then run
black coal off each of the quartz slabs.
10
another
platform
At the top of the swanky staircase let’s
build another platform in the same way
we did in Step 3. Begin with the quartz
framework – the four-two-left-one-turn-two
formation on repeat. Then fill in the ground
with coal, before laying black glass blocks
around the outside edge. Feel free to add
in sea lanterns to the ceiling if this area is
a little too dark at the moment, and any
decorations that take your fancy.
11 aentrance
secret
Head to the second platform we built,
and from the south side, build quartz
steps coming off and along the wall
surrounded by coal and glass. At this
point, it’s worth adding in fountain
streams around the cave. For this, build
a three-by-three hole in the ceiling and
add in sea lanterns then place a water
bucket on the middle block. The sea
lanterns will help illuminate the stream
when it goes dark. We went with four
different streams, but the amount is
totally up to you.
12
Build an
entrance
The very first thing we did was dig a really deep
hole. Go back to that hole and follow it back up to
ground-level. With cobblestone, mossy cobble,
cobble steps, cobble wall, and some torches, build
a structure directly above the hole so it’s not just a
random two-wide hole in the ground. Ours is just a
four-wide mini-corridor with steps at the front, and
upside-down steps above and to the sides. Anything
discreet works.

Now you’ve got your own lair, you’ll be
needing a humongous telly and sofa, a comfy
bed, and a lit blacksmith forge. To build all
these you’ll need nether brick steps, stone
slabs, buttons, and black wool for the TV and

Place coal every two blocks on the

want, add a water source at the top

you’re after something more high-tech,
how about a working elevator?

Creating the
Kingdoms
Here’s how this
stunning mega-build
came together
Day 1
Plan, plan, plan
Jeremy starts by collecting together a list of ideas and images to
help him form the basic idea of how the project will look. While
using both films, books and TV to gather some example of
medieval and fantasy ideas. Jeremy can now sketch out a rough
design on paper before starting to build.
Day 2
Mountains and trees
Jeremy starts the actual build by focusing on the
landscape, including building up the mountains
from scratch and creating large patches of trees.
Jeremy also starts to build a large island with a big
mountain on it in the centre of the map. Everything
else in the project will surround this point.
Day 3
Creating a map
Another really helpful step
sees Jeremy pulling up to a
bird’s eye view, going into
first-person mode, and
taking screenshots of the
build to use a map. Jeremy
then prints these off so he
check whether he’s on track
with his original sketch back
in step one.
Day 5
Creating the gate
Next up is one of the biggest
parts of the Kingdoms of
Greymane build – a massive
Dwarven-style gate. Jeremy
decides to build the gate
directly into the side of the
big mountain he’s already
made. He’s now going to
build the rest of the city
around the top.

Day 6-20

Jeremy now starts building interiors for the
ly/2rcuz7Y King’s Fortress (which sits inside the mountain)
and the towers, houses and steps that make the
city. A big chunk of this time is spent creating
interiors big enough to suit what Jeremy
planned at the start of the project.
Day 21-35
Finishing the city
Now, Jeremy starts adding new buildings
to give the Kingdoms of Greymane build
more variety and character. He plans out
and builds lots of different bits including
docks, churches, ships, fountains, statues,

The
best mods
for Minecraft Enhance your Minecraft experience by
downloading these cool mods
think we can all agree that Minecraft is pretty brilliant but, as with
I
everything, there is always room for improvement, whether it’s
gameplay, difficulty or just fancy new features. That’s where user-
generated mods come in. Talented Minecraft fans across the globe have
identified things that they’d like to improve or change about the game,
and built programs to modify the game in one way or another to add
to the rich world of Minecraft. Some speed the game up, some make
it easier to play, some add in awesome new features, but all take the
essence of Minecraft and make it just that little bit more epic. Obviously
always be careful when downloading stuff from the internet as not everyone is as nice as the cool
guys that have made these mods, but here are just a few ace programs you might want to try.
expand your game
01
Fast
Craft
O
ne problem lots of people have
with Minecraft is lag and jerky
gameplay. This is usually due
to their computer or tablet
simply not having the processing power to
deal with the huge demands Minecraft puts
upon it. This can be incredibly frustrating,
especially if you’re trying to run away from
a hostile mob or build something elaborate.
FastCraft speeds up your FPS rate so that
everything seems much smoother when
moving around your Minecraft world as well
as reducing loading times and game startup.
All you need is Minecraft Forge installed and
you can drop the mod into the Mods folder
and hey presto, your Minecraft game should
be running much better. Helpful for running
from Creepers!
MINECRAFT
02
02
Hats
T
his mod pretty much does exactly what it says on the tin. Hats! Yep,
Hats randomly spawns the most incredible variety of awesome and
entertaining hats all over your Minecraft world for you to find, add
to your inventory, wear and impress your friends. Yep, the ultimate
fashion accessory can be yours with this mod, as long as you value your style and
look over safety with a helmet or Slenderman-avoiding pumpkin head. There are
nearly 100 hats up for grabs with the original download of this mod, with more able
to be installed. You can change the colour of a hat once you’ve managed to find
it and also make it available for other people on your server, so you can roam the
Minecraft world looking super cool.
Minefactory
Reloaded 03
O
ne of the best things about
Minecraft is also one of its
worst things. It’s such good fun
building a home from scratch,
seeing the creations you’ve worked hard to
build and the animals you’ve sought to raise
become a brand-new world. However, those
things can take ages to make and sometimes
the repetitive nature can get just a little bit
boring. MineFactory Reloaded is a mod that
takes away all the hard work from some of
the more repetitive tasks in the game, such
as shearing sheep or item processing. Yes, it
may feel a little bit like cheating as allowing
a machine to do your work isn’t quite in the
spirit of the game, but if you don’t mind it
really can help.
expand your game
04 Simply
Jetpacks
U
ntil jetpacks are common in the real world, the best you’re going to get are
jetpacks in the Minecraft world! Yes, that’s right, you can make jetpacks for
your Minecraft character to fly around the world you’ve created. Not only
will it be incredibly awesome to see your creation from high in the sky,
it’ll also keep you safe from the hostile mobs that are out to get you. Simply Jetpacks
enables you to make jetpacks using redstone flux. It’s incredibly easy to use and totally
worth downloading, because if there is any mod for taking your Minecraft game to the
next level, it’s Simply Jetpacks. Mostly fun but also with a couple of actual benefits for
your Minecraft experience.
MINECRAFT
Draconic 05
Evolution
N
ot only has this mod got an awesome name, Draconic
Evolution, but it’s also capable of some quite awesome
tricks. One of its best features is teleportation. That’s right,
Draconic Evolution can really take your Minecraft character
places! By binding the Charm of Dislocation to a particular location, you
can teleport there at will by using the charm. This could help you find
your way back home if you’ve strayed too far from your base. You can
do this over 20 times before the charm runs out, but it’s still a brilliant
tool, and a wonderful addition to the game that will enable you to
explore more of the Minecraft world without worrying about how to get
back home again!
expand your game
Big
Reactors 06
B
ig industry on the kind of scale you’ll be working
on with all these added mods requires an awful
lot of power. And what better power to fuel
all these machines than nuclear power? Big
Reactors enables you to create nuclear reactors that can
produce vast amounts of power, which can then take your
Minecraft machinery skills to another level. This mod is
easy to use and, once you’ve managed to safely build the
reactors, the sky is pretty much the limit with regard to the
elaborate and complex machinery you can operate. It is also
able to produce steam for steam turbines, so if you want
your operations to have a more traditional feel, Big Reactors
can help with that too.
07 Caterpillar
O
ne of the most time-consuming tasks in Minecraft is the
digging. It takes an awfully long time to properly dig a good-
quality mining tunnel. Caterpillar is a genius mod that does all
the digging for you, while you’re off getting creative. Not only
does it dig a 3-by-3 hole, but it can also gather up items as it digs, such as

Rope
Bridge
Mod
E
xploring the world is a huge part
of Minecraft, even more so now
with the Discovery Update. The
further you head away from
your base, the more unknown and difficult
the terrain will get. That’s where the Rope
Bridge mod may come in very handy
indeed. Download the mod and you can
use a grappling hook to turn into a rope
bridge if you’re faced with a large chasm
or gap between lands. Fire the grappling
hook across the gap and, providing you
have decent aim, it will hold the far side,
allowing you to cross gaps you would never
have been able to cross before. This mod
looks really cool and can prove extremely
useful, so it’s certainly one you’ll want in
your game.
09 Quiverbow
O
ne of the most crucial weapons at your disposal as
a Minecrafter is your bow and arrow. It may seem
like an old-fashioned kind of weapon, but ranged
weapons are really useful for taking out hostile
mobs without taking any damage yourself. Quiverbow seriously
upgrades your archery capabilities by giving you access to a
range of bows and more varieties of projectile than you can
shake a pointed stick at. It will also create an actual quiver for
you, meaning you can hold an incredible 256 arrows in one
inventory space, giving you plenty to ammunition to take down
hordes of hostile mobs without wasting space in your inventory.
The Firework Rocket Launcher is definitely one of the best
projectiles to look out for.

MINECRAFT
Ah, AH, Ah, AH
Staying
alive! We count down the best ways to steer
clear of Minecraft’s main hazards
hat are the best things about Minecraft? The awesome
W
things you can build, creating your own world, exploring
the amazing creations of other people? If the best bits
about Minecraft are to do with creating, then definitely
the worst are to do with destroying – mostly monsters
destroying everything you’ve worked hard to build up,
or even your own health meter! It can be so annoying
if you’ve spent ages creating an incredible castle or
travelling to explore the new areas in the Discovery
Update, all to have it spoiled by a mean monster. Luckily, these monsters have
their weaknesses like anybody else and can be taken down and fended off. So if
you want to keep Creepers and Endermen at bay, here are the smartest tips for
staying alive while enjoying the wonderful world of Minecraft.

Wear 01
your
armour
T
he first thing you need to make sure you protect
is yourself. Creepers are notorious for sneaking
up on you and exploding when you least expect
it. You can craft armour from leather, gold, iron or
diamond and make helmets, chestplates, leggings or boots.
Armour can also be dropped by skeletons and zombies, so
if you kill one, remember to pick its armour up! Or, if you’re
really lazy, just buy some! If you’re attacked, the armour will
take the damage, rather than you, until it loses durability.
Then it’s up to you to fight or flee!

MINECRAFT
02 Be enchanting
N
o, we’re not saying sweet-
talk the monsters into not
destroying you. Enchanting your
armour gives it certain powers
that can help in a variety of dangerous
situations. Blast Protection, for example,
reduces damage from explosions, while
Protection will make each hit on you slightly
less effective if something is attacking you.
Go to an Enchantment Table or an Anvil
and use your armour with an enchanted
book for an extra layer of safety against the
rampaging hoards.
03 Get to
water
I
f you’re scared of being attacked by an Enderman, make sure
you are close to water. These hostile mobs are damaged by
water, so if one is attempting to attack you and teleporting
all around, jump in a boat. That way, when the Enderman is
teleporting around you, it will keep getting damaged by the water,
helping you defeat it more easily and ensuring you take less damage.
If you can use your bow on them to keep distance between the two of
you, that’s even better.

04 Build
a roof
Y
our character is two blocks high. An Enderman is three
blocks high. This may seem like they have an advantage,
but you can use it to yours. If you’re out in an area you’re
likely to be in for a long time, build a roof that is three
blocks up. That way you can move around easily, but if an Enderman
rushes you, it’ll knock its head on your roof block. It won’t be able to
get into your lair, meaning you can shoot it with your bow and arrow
at your leisure.

MINECRAFT
05
Head
upwards...
I
f you’re building a home, build it high! That way at night you can
keep a good eye out for any hostile mobs that may be on their
way to ruin your fun. It’ll also take the monster longer to reach you,
giving you more time to ready your weapon and stay safe. There
are only a few creatures that can climb ladders as well, so it’ll reduce the
number of things that want to kill you being able to reach you.

...or head N
ight is the worst time for all those mobs to
spawn and search out sleeping players to
attack, so heading underground and mining
06
throughout the night could be your smartest
bet. Monsters don’t like fire, so if you’re underground,
downwards
light plenty of torches to guide your way and keep those
Creepers and zombies away from you during their most
active time. This will keep you safe and maximise your
output while everyone else is sleeping and being attacked!
Disguise 07
yourself
N
ow, the Enderman is a generally passive mob, just staring creepily at you
until you go away, but it can get aggressive if you get too close and is
super annoying when it moves the blocks you’ve carefully placed for a
construction. So they have to die. One trick for keeping the Enderman
passive is to wear a pumpkin helmet. It won’t attack you if you place the cursor over its
eyes, nor will it teleport away when attacking it. This takes away the Enderman’s main
fighting advantage, helping you to stay safe or kill it more easily.

MINECRAFT
Secure 08
your
home
A
nother way to stay safe at night is to
make your home an impenetrable
fortress, which doesn’t actually
require that much special work.
Hostile mobs aren’t able to spawn in a room
that is entirely built with walls that have been
created from player-made blocks. So as long as
you have constructed it entirely yourself and left
no gaps, mobs shouldn’t be able to spawn and
get inside your property, making a self-built
home safe as houses.
09
Attack
the legs
I
f you are brought into combat with an
Enderman and have no water nearby
or pumpkin heads to put on (and to be
honest, it’s your own fault you’ve been
so careless as to go out without your pumpkin
head), then either attack from distance with
your bow and arrow or go for the legs. Attacking
an Enderman’s legs stops it from teleporting,
making it a straight one-on-one battle, rather
than a one-on-one-in-multiple-locations battle,
improving your chances of survival.

Get a 10
Golem
W
hether you find a spawned one
or have to make one yourself
by stacking three iron blocks in
a row, a fourth underneath the
middle one and topping it with a pumpkin head, Iron
Golems are massively useful attack dogs. Any hostile
mob that comes within 16 blocks will incur the
wrath of the Iron Golem and will get attacked with
ferocious power. These are incredibly handy to have
around as they can be on the lookout for hostiles
while you get on with your daily tasks. And who
doesn’t love to see a Creeper getting crushed?!
Play it
safe
Minecraft does
offer some combat
alternatives
There are a few options if you don’t

want to build something or do battle.
Run! Double-tapping the forward
button gives you a burst of sprint
speed so you can leg it away from
pretty much all attacking hostile
mobs. If you want to play it even
safer, use Peaceful Mode, which
completely gets rid of hostile mobs
and lets you play your game in peace
and quiet without fear of being
attacked by skeletons or having
your property damaged by Creepers
and Endermen. But, let’s be honest,
who wants to live in a virtual world
without just a little bit of danger?

MINECRAFT

All Aboard

the SS
Steampunk Make waves in the sky by building this
awesome airship
uilding 3D shapes in Minecraft is either easy as pie or the stuff of nightmares. Building a
B
rectangle for a house? Well, that’s easy! Building a three-dimensional sphere? Well, that’s what
guides are for. In this build, we’ll cover working on multiple axes at the same time, creating a
guideline skeletal shell, and how to build a giant blimp that once you’ve got the basics down,
you can modify into your own designs as much as you want. The truth is, it’s not all that difficult
once you know what you’re doing.
01
Lines and circles
Grab Quartz block and in the sky, run a row off 33 blocks horizontally. On the front end, build
one block either side of the line. Behind it, build two up, then one block, change direction, two
blocks, twelve blocks, six blocks, four blocks, two blocks, another two blocks, then one. Now
re-create the half semicircle on the underneath of the horizontal line by mirroring the above.
02
make More
Semicircles
Now that we’ve got our vertical axis sorted, we need to work on the
second horizontal axis. With this one, re-create the half semicircles
from the last step, only on the right and left sides (when viewed
directly from the front). What we’re doing here is creating a three-
dimensional skeleton that will allow us to build around it to create a
lovely, egg-like blimp.

MINECRAFT
03
make
The Front
Head round to the front of the blimp. Do
you see the four sets of two blocks? Build
on each side one block up and one block
down on the left and right ones, then
one block right and one block left on the
north and south sets, to create four three
by two platforms. Connect each of the
partitions back onto each other.
04 More
Plates
Behind the brand new front
plate, build a second plate.
Look to the outside edge and
where you see three blocks
in a row, build five blocks one
block out and away from it.
Again, you should be able to
connect this back onto itself
then fill in any sneaky gaps
that appear. Afterwards, look
to the two block rows slightly
behind the plate and build a
circle going all the way around
the skeleton.

05
More Guidelines
That circle going around the skeleton is actually a very clever guideline, so let’s
add some more! On the longest row, find the middle, and create a two-wide circle
going all the way round. On the beginning of the next longest platform back, build
another circle, again, going all the way around. Now take a step back and make
sure everything is symmetrical. If it’s not, you’ll end up with one funky-looking
blimp. And no one wants that.
06
Start the
Outside
Next we’ll be making a platform on each of
the four sides. On each of the longest sides,
before the last circle, count one block in
and create a three-row going across. Do the
same on the opposite end, then connect the
pokey out bits together. Run one more row
on each side, one block smaller than the last,
and your platform should be complete. Now
go and do this on each of the four sides.

MINECRAFT
07
From the outside in
With all four platforms going round the outside, it’s time to build a plate behind
them. On the 2-wide steps, drop a row of four blocks on each side. Do this again
below the platform as well. You should now be able to build a step effect heading
towards the original semicircles. Then it’s just a case of filling in the gaps. As with
everything so far, make sure you do this on all four sides. Your blimp should now
be looking quite blimpy.
08
Fill in
the gaps
You should now be left with some
gaps in between everything you’ve
built on the front section. These gaps
should be fairly natural, too, so filling
them is just a case of running quartz
along the gap and connecting it in line
with the front circle. After that, head
to the same front circle, and fill the
gap between the circle and the front
plate. You’ve now finished two-thirds
of the blimp, and all that’s left is the
back part.

Ghast Balloon
How to fill up more of that empty sky area
1
We need something attacking the airship, right?
That’s where the Hot Ghast Balloon comes in.
1
Create a 16-by-16 cube out of white wool. Then
with black wool, add in the eyes and mouth, all
of which are four blocks across. Next, with grey wool,
mine in the patterns. They don’t have to be exact, the
only ones that are really important are the tears below
the eyes.
2
Next up is the top of the Ghast’s head. For
this, we’ll be drawing two forked lines out
of grey wool, then creating a jagged step
either side. For the back section, continue
the patterns downwards, miss a block, then finish with
a single block. After, add in a few random horizontal,
two–three-wide, stripes.
3
As for the bottom section, grab your grey
wool (which will look black due to the
shadows), and create a flat square with a
2 3
four-block circumference around it. Then
with white wool, build eight, two by two nubs one
block in. These will eventually end up being the Ghast’s
tentacles, but for now, leave them as nubbins.
4
Around ten blocks below the centre of the
Ghast, build a five by three pod out of white
wool. Next, hack off two of the corners and
replace with grey wool. One block in from
the right side, smash two blocks and replace with grey
wool. To finish, pull out some cobblestone fences and
build the corners of the pod up to the Ghast.
5
Tentacles! Head back to the two-by-two nubs
and build each of them down by different
amounts. With the middle tentacles be sure to
keep them shorter so you can see the basket 4
in the middle. As for who’s flying the Ghast Balloon,
grab two Armour Stands, clothe them in leather
armour, and stick Steve and Creeper heads on each.

MINECRAFT
09
The
Tail End
This one’s nice and simple. Head to
the back end, and on the two-wide
section, create a step effect all the
way round. Then do the same on the
four-wide section, then the two-wide
section – basically just keep repeating
the step effect all the way round until
you reach the very back of the blimp
and there are no gaps whatsoever.
Your blimp also doubles up as an egg.
You know, just in case you ever feel
like building a boiled egg monument.
10
Time to
decorate
Now for the fun part. Grab dark oak fence and
planks, stone bricks and stone steps, glass panes,
and black wool. Run a three-high horizontal row of
dark oak all the way around the blimp. Then do the
same vertically. Now mine up the middle rows and
replace with dark oak fence. For the window area,
build a three by four rectangle, change the corners
for steps, then add glass in front of wool for the
middle window.
11
The
Propeller
Head to the very back of the blimp. Build a
seven by seven plate from dark oak planks,
then smash out the corners. In the centre,
one block back, knock out a three-by-three
hole. Fill the very back with dark oak, then
one block in front of the dark oak, create
an ‘X’ shape from stone bricks to look like a
propeller. This isn’t essential, but it does help
to make it look like your airship could move.

12

Fins on Top
For some reason, making something steampunk
involves two things – lots of brown, and weird fish
stuff. No one knows why, it’s just the way it is. To
build them, first build the outside with dark oak.
Then switch to grey wool for half of the inside (this
adds some shading). Then to finish, fill in the rest of
the space with either quartz blocks, or if you’re after
a different style, white terracotta blocks.
Build bonus
Modifying
the Design
Over on MinecraftForum.net, one user
had an idea for an even bigger airship. The
principle behind the actual blimp area is the
same as ours, but what differs here is the ship
area below. The rough idea here is to build a
pirate ship around 40 blocks below the blimp
then connect it up with fencing so it looks like
it’s attached. This different type of ship also
means you can create secret rooms, cargo
areas, or even bedrooms for your crew. You
could even whack some villagers in there so
you’ve got a trade supply going.
13 t
Finalising the fin

For our final section, we’ll be building a simple cabin with an upside-down fin below it. Head
to the longest row on the bottom and build a cube box directly below in the centre of the row.
Knock out the sides and replace with dark oak fences. For the fin, just do what we did in Step
12 again but upside-down. You can also add some sea lanterns inside the cabin so at night it
shines brightly in the sky!
