Perhaps you want to join in the fun, but you find Minecraft overbearing and overwhelming. However, we can introduce you to its basic elements to help you understand what you need. Minecraft’s developers keep adding features with each update. It can be hard to keep up with the growing catalog of mobs, blocks, recipes, materials, areas, biomes, and secrets, much less face it all as a complete newbie. Our goal is to walk you through the game’s versions (Java and Bedrock), the main menu and its options, the basic elements, and the first items you need to craft to have…

Horses are the best means of transportation in Minecraft. These mobs have hidden and random stats, and while you have no control over these numbers, you have some control over the characteristics of a baby horse. That’s why you’d want to breed horses, as it’s how you can ultimately get the horse with the better stats. On top of that, breeding two wild horses will give you a tame horse, but you don’t need to necessarily tame the horses to breed them. Things Required to Breed a Horse in Minecraft The process is easy enough that you can do it…
A beacon in Minecraft does what its name suggests. It creates a skyward beam and a significant light source you can use to mark important locations. Additionally, it can give a status effect to your character. It has some requisites, though, which can be tough to meet. So, aside from learning how to craft a beacon, you have to learn how to activate it, what it offers, and how to use its buffs. Beacons are perhaps the most expensive structures in the game, but also one of the most powerful. So, let’s start the blue beam journey by… Crafting a…
Have you seen horses in the Overworld? Have you tamed one? Better yet, have you ever used a saddle to ride them? Perhaps you know about these features in Minecraft, but you need some extra guidance to tame a horse in Minecraft. Horses are passive mobs. They are never aggressive, they roam around free, and you can tame them, ride them, and equip them with a saddle. There’re three ways to tame horses. Riding a wild horse several timesFeeding the mob with Golden Apples several timesBreeding two horses to produce a tamed baby horse We have to find it first,…
There’re several crafting blocks in Minecraft, and they have the purpose of crafting, processing, and refining materials. One of these is the “Furnace,” which can use coal, wood planks, wood logs, charcoal, and other materials as fuel. Have you heard of charcoal, though? Do you know how to get it? Perhaps you want it because it’s fuel, or maybe you want it because it’s an ingredient for torches, Soul Torches, and Fire Charges. It’s an important ingredient—particularly, if you’re ready to explore caves, you’re going to need torches to light the area, find loot, and avoid mobs. Charcoal Recipe in…
Minecraft is full of passive and cute mobs you can breed, tame, and take to home. Some of them can even travel with you, but do you expect cats to follow you around? Cats are not dogs! Look, cats in Minecraft behave better than they do in real life. They can sit at your command, follow you around, and love you forever. So, if you were never able to tame your cat, why not try in Minecraft? You may still want to do it, though, because cats are simply one of the prettiest mobs in the game. Moreover, they do…
If you think the Fortnite Crew offer has passed its prime, or a bit unnecessary at the moment—you can cancel the service from whichever platform you’re using to play. But as with most services, opting out of Fortnite Crew may not be as intuitive as you’d like. The process differs across consoles, as some offer a method to do it within the console’s interface, while others don’t. To cancel Fortnite crew, you have to use the process you used to subscribe to the service. In any case, it’s about turning off the option to automatically pay Fortnite Crew renewals. Doing…
You’d want to protect your Battle Pass, items, progression, V-Bucks, and, more importantly, your payment details. Luckily, Epic Games offers 2-factor authentication to keep safe. Fortnite’s “2FA” is a two-step authentication process. If you enable it, you’d have to complete these two steps every time you access the game. The additional security layer is a code you’d get via SMS, email, or an authenticator app for mobile devices. You won’t find Fortnite’s 2FA as an option within the game, at least not during Chapter 4. Rather, you’ll find it on Epic Game’s website: Go to Epic Game’s official website on…
I get it. You want to showcase your exploits and conquests in Minecraft, and one of the best ways to do it is by crafting and placing a banner. A banner is simply a decorative block. It’s like a tall, stiff flag wearing a customizable drawing and color. You can also choose the banner’s pattern (the picture) and its color using a dye. Have you ever crafted or found one? You can find six types of banners in a Minecraft realm and a greater catalog of options to build. In essence, you craft an empty banner with wool and stick,…
Let’s say that you’ve got your structures ready. You have used wood, stone, and cotton for walls, roofs, floors, and furniture, and now you want something else—you want the glass to look outside! How do you build glass, though? Perhaps you know that you can paint it with a dye or use it to make windows. In its default mode, it’s fully transparent, but you can turn it into tinted glass and stained glass for extra aesthetic options. And that’s what glass offers: aesthetics. So, let’s help you fulfill your vanity desires in Minecraft. Minecraft Glass Recipe The items you…
