But in the early stage of the game, players usually face difficulties even to gather basic resources and build these, as this can be very time-consuming. This article provides 5 of the best mob farms for early-stage players in Minecraft. These farms can be built easily and will provide great output to the players. 5 best mob farms to build early in Minecraft Here are the following 5 best mob farms, which are very easy to build and will provide players with all the basic and important resources: 1. Basic spawner based farm How to Turn a Mob Spawner Into an XP Farm in Minecraft Requirements : To build a basic spawner-based farm, a player will need any mob spawner, building blocks, water buckets, and torches.

How It Works: Once players find a blaze spawner, they have to close the spawner within a 9×9×3 area centered on the spawner block. Use water (Java) or flowing lava (Bedrock) to push blazes into a drop chute or killing chamber Benefits: Drops blaze rods and high XP. These were the 5 best mob farms that players can consider building early in the game. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

How to breed Pandas in Minecraft
Image via Mojang Pandas are among the most adorable and unique mobs that you can find in Minecraft. They are neutral or passive and spawn in the jungle biomes. You can particularly find them easily in the bamboo jungle variant. The specific mob is quite distinct from the others, as they possess their unique personality traits, each influencing their behavior. There are several personalities that they may have, including lazy, worried, playful, aggressive, weak, brown, and normal. The breeding process of Pandas is also a bit different and requires you to maintain some prerequisites. Here is a guide on how you can breed Pandas in Minecraft. Steps to breed Pandas in Minecraft Steps to breed pandas (Image via Mojang) Pandas are primarily bamboo eaters, and you will have to use the same to breed them in Minecraft. You can find bamboo naturally in the jungle biomes or by cultivating the bamboo shoots. The breeding process will require you to have at least two bamboos. Besides the specific food for Pandas, you will also need to have a secure breeding area for them. This will make the process a lot easier for you. Here is a step-by-step breeding process that you can follow: Step 1: Locate Pandas You can find adult Pandas in jungle biomes, and you will need at least two adult Pandas to begin the breeding process. The specific animal can be led using bamboo. Step 2: Prepare the Breeding Environment You must subsequently create an enclosure to breed the Pandas. Although an enclosure isn't necessary, it is ideal to have the same. There is a specific breeding condition, i.e., Pandas require at least 8 blocks of bamboo within a 5-block radius (Bedrock Edition). The requirement in Java Edition needs you to have only a single bamboo block in a 5-block radius. Step 3: Feed the Pandas You can now feed the Pandas in Minecraft to start the breeding procedure. Upon doing this, you will see heart symbols appearing above their heads, indicating that they have entered the love mode. Step 4: Breeding Process After your two adult Pandas are in love mode, they'll breed automatically. It will take some time for the process to complete. With all these steps complete, you will find a Baby Panda on your screen. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo You can feed the baby some bamboo to accelerate its growth. It is essential to remember the specific requirement of having bamboo within a 5-block radius to successfully breed Pandas in Minecraft. If you don't ensure the same, the two adults won't enter the breeding mode, and instead will munch on the bamboo. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

All new features in Minecraft 1.21.100.23 preview explained
Image via Mojang Minecraft has recently confirmed its new and third game drop, 1.21.100.23, to be added later this year. Currently the developers are in the experimental phase where they have introduced a suite of experimental features, which aim to enhance the mechanics and gameplay experience of the players. The new experimental features include new mobs, recipes, and mechanics focused on copper. The update is currently available only for Bedrock Edition. This article previews all the features to come in Minecraft 1.21.100.23 version. All major features are coming in the Minecraft 1.21.100.23 update . Here are the following experimental features that are confirmed by Minecraft: 1. Copper Golem As copper is the main focus item for this game drop, Minecraft now has introduced Copper Golem, a player-made mob crafted with copper blocks and carved pumpkins. The main function of the Copper Golem is to transport items that players drop in the copper chest into the normal chest (item sorting). Upon killing one Copper Golem, it will drop 1–3 copper ingots. 2. Copper Chest It is a new block that will only appear when a player summons a Copper Golem. When players drop items into a Copper Chest, the Copper Golem automatically picks them up and sorts them in the nearby chest. Copper chests have 2 types of appearance: waxed and oxidized variants. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Honda SP125: Now with More Power & Style Honda Learn More Undo Copper Chests can be crafted using a Chest and Copper Ingots. 3. Copper Tools Minecraft has introduced copper tools, which are a minor update from stone tools. These tools are introduced with the motive to help early-stage players. Players can now craft tools, weapons, and armor from copper. The copper armor is a great choice, as it will help players save iron in the early stage, and it is better than leather armor. Here are all the tools, weapons, and armor that players can craft: Copper Axe Copper Hoe Copper Pickaxe Copper Shovel Copper Sword Copper Armor Copper Helmet Copper Chest plate Copper Leggings Copper Boots 4. Technical and Parity Updates Here are the following technical and bug fix adjustments: Hotbar can always be hit on any touch device. The detection area matches the texture even if you have custom controls enabled. Fixed faces of non-full blocks (e.g., cakes or trapdoors) having an unnatural ambient occlusion applied to them in some neighboring block configurations. Glowing text on signs no longer gets overly bright when looked at directly in Vibrant Visuals. Fixed an issue where custom armor disabled knockback on some platforms. Fixed a bug that caused Happy Ghast to occasionally suffocate when faced against a wall. Boats no longer play step sounds when on the ground. Air friction is now only applied to boats when they are leashed. Boats are still prevented from orbiting the player when leashed. Boats once again retain momentum when moving off ledges. Fixed a bug where the Happy Ghast riding sound would sometimes play in the loading screen. Fixed a bug where both Ghast and Happy Ghast ambient sounds would not be audible further than 16 blocks away from the player Ghast ambient sound is now audible within 80 blocks. Happy Ghast ambient sound is now audible within 64 blocks. Leashed mobs can now be pulled into boats, minecarts, and other rideable entities if the leash is slackened when close to those entities. Leashed mobs will now automatically dismount their vehicle if the leash is stretched far enough. These are all the features under the experimental phase of the Minecraft 1.21.100.23 update.

Minecraft now has a photo mode with Vibrant Memories
Photo modes are a pretty common feature for video games where players go bounding around an interesting open world. Today, Minecraft joined their ranks, making an in-game camera available in the Minecraft Marketplace as a free add-on called Vibrant Memories. The feature requires a copy of Minecraft's Bedrock Edition on any platform; the Java version doesn't appear to support the camera. As well as capturing the moment as-is and saving particular camera angles to reuse later, Vibrant Memories will let a player decide whether or not to appear in the image. It will also let them set whether the weather is sunny or rainy and if the time is sunrise, sunset, day or night. That's a pared-back take on photo mode, but then in many ways, Minecraft is a pared-back game. Sure, it's gotten loads of new features and creatures over the past 15 years, but at heart, it's just about mining and crafting.
