Copper Golem vs Iron Golem: Which is better in Minecraft?
Image via Mojang Minecraft has now officially announced the new Copper Golem for the game, which players can craft. With this, the game will now soon have three different types of golems. Initially the copper golem was introduced as a mob vote candidate that lost to allay, and now the copper golem is making its way back to the game. The Copper Golem will soon be released with the fall game drop of Minecraft. Difference between Iron Golem and Copper Golem The very basic difference between the Copper Golem and the Iron Golem is the appearance; both golems look different and also have various purposes to serve. The only thing they have in common is that they help players to survive in the game. Key difference between Iron and Copper Golems: 1. Crafting recipe: Image via Mojang Iron Golem: To craft an Iron Golem, players need to place 4 iron blocks, 1 on the ground and 3 horizontally placed on top of it. Then players need to place a pumpkin mask on top and in the middle of the iron blocks. Apart from this, iron golems also can spawn naturally when there are villagers nearby; they spawn to protect these villagers from mobs. Copper Golem: Like iron golems, the Copper Golems cannot naturally spawn; they can only be crafted by players. In order to create a Copper Golem player, you need to place a copper block onto the ground and place a pumpkin mask above it. 2. Purpose of both the Golems: Iron Golem : The sole purpose of the Iron Golem is to protect the players and villagers in Minecraft from various kinds of mobs attacking. But players need to understand that the witches who were naturally spawned will not protect them and will only protect the villagers. For personal protection, the Iron Golem needs to be crafted by players. Copper Golem : It is a new mob that will soon be released to Minecraft. The Copper Golem is a very peaceful mob, and the sole purpose of the Copper Golem is to sort items that players drop in the copper chest. When players drop random items in a copper chest, the Copper Golem picks those items up, up to 16 stacks at a time, and transfers them to either empty chests or chests containing similar items. 3. Appearance: Both the Golems are different in appearance. Since the Copper Golem is only made with a single block, it naturally looks quite small and stubby, while on the other hand, the Iron Golem has a huge appearance. The Copper Golem has a glowing yellow light and a lightning rod on its head. These were the basic differences between Copper and Iron Golems, but still, both have a single purpose of helping the players.

18 Minecraft secrets the game won't tell you - how many do you know?
Minecraft is easily one of the most-played video games of all time, and a whopping 204.33 million people reportedly play it every month. The Minecraft movie no doubt boosted downloads of the game further when it broke box office records earlier this month. The game is full of secrets that you can only discover by exploring and playing - the more you play, the more you'll learn. But Minecraft is so broad that it feels impossible to know all the tips and tricks that can help you through the game. Digging for diamonds, using lava for fuel or finding new and sneaky ways to beat Endermen, are all part of the plethora of secret hacks to this iconic game. Here are 18 secrets Minecraft doesn't tell you, put together by . Llamas can be handy to have around if you find you keep running out of inventory space. If you click on a llama while holding a chest, that chest becomes the animal's inventory space, reports The Mirror. Llamas have a varied inventory space based on their strength - from 15 slots to just three. You can breed them to increase this strength. When you break a block, the breaking pattern always appears on its north side. This hack can come in handy if you need to quickly orientate yourself in the game. Lava lasts far longer as a fuel in the furnace than wood or coal. So, remember to mark any locations of lava you come across, and come back with plenty of buckets. In earlier versions of Minecraft, diamonds were most likely to appear between five and 12 levels down. Now, they appear between 15 and 63 levels underground, and the deeper you dig, the more likely you are to find the special shiny crystals. This is one of the game's quirkier secrets. If you've got a blue sheep and you'd rather it was red, probably because you're after some red wool, there is a nifty way to do this. If you place a blue sheep near an Evoker creature, it will wiggle its arms, make a "wololo" sound, before turning your sheep red. Torches are handy for lighting up dark areas and keeping monsters away. Sand and gravel blocks are affected by gravity, so if you remove the block underneath them, they will fall and break. If you're in a rush and want to do this quickly, break a block and place a torch where it was immediately, which will break all the blocks around it, allowing you to collect them quickly. Mushroom biomes are the only areas in the game where hostile mobs don't appear at night or in the caves. This means you're free to build a nice home or just wander around. Mob spawners do work, however, so there is a chance you might still see enemies. The scary Endermen only attack when you make eye contact with them, and you can use this to your advantage. If you wear an equally-scary carved pumpkin on your head, you won't technically make eye contact with the Endermen. As a result, they won't attack you - in fact, they won't even fight back if you attack them. Mobs can overwhelm you, so a bit of help can be crucial at times. You can create an Iron Golem to help defend you. You can do this by placing iron blocks in a T-shape on the ground, and then putting a Carved Pumpkin or a Jack O'Lantern on top as a head. Place a few around your base for your own security force. Just like llamas, cats are more than just nice furry friends to have around. Creepers are afraid of cats, and if you have enough around your house, they will avoid it at all costs. This comes in handy if you need to carry out some tasks without being attacked. For some reason, doors can create air bubbles underwater. If you place a door while under water it will create an air bubble you can stand in, which is particularly useful if you're on an extended underwater trip. The Blaze is a tough enemy to fight, but it has one weakness - snowballs. The best way to beat them is to lob snowballs at them from afar. It can be tempting to destroy mob spawners to put a plug in a flood of enemies. However, there is another option. Enemies only spawn in dark areas, remember, so if you place torches on or around the spawner it'll stop spitting out enemies. Sneaking is handy, but it can be slow. But the Swift Sneak enchantment allows you to crouch and walk extra quick, allowing you to escape unseen at double speed. If you're in the mushroom biome, you'll probably come across a Mooshroom. As its name suggests, it's a cross between a mushroom and a cow. And if you try and milk it, you'll get mushroom stew. It may sound disgusting, but helpful for staving off hunger. Having an army of dogs to help defend you is a great idea - and you can give them different-coloured collars to tell them apart. All you need to do is get a dye for the colour you want and right click on the dog. It seems the possibilities in Minecraft are almost endless. One of the more unexpected things some users have done is create pixel art with their maps. The problem is if you make any changes to your base, the map changes. If you want to lock a design in place, add a glass pane to your map. This way you can chop and change as much as you like and still preserve your amazing creation. Being attacked by a mob of zombies usually means certain death. But there's a secret weapon. Zombies love turtle eggs for some reason, so if you lob one they'll follow it. You can also use it to lure zombies to their death, dropping some useful gold.
