I’m not saying Minecraft is entirely infinite, but it definitely has the kind of longevity most other games would kill for. Much of it comes down to the near-endless creative possibilities, but also the mods. Mods and add-ons are what keep the gaming world a-turnin’, and Mojang has now added…add-ons to the game. Okay, so if you thought this was old news, think again. In a recent post on the official Minecraft website, the Bedrock Edition of the game now has add-ons available in the Marketplace. Mods were typically…

To keep the Minecraft juggernaut rolling along, Mojang is getting ready to release version 1.21 of its mighty IP. As part of the said update, the studio is introducing a new mob for when you think the game isn’t hostile enough. Say hello to the bogged. This is a skeletal creature that fires poison-tipped arrows. A recent post on the Minecraft website puts a little bit of a lovey-dovey spin on the mob. Because it was announced on Valentine’s Day. 🚨 New Mob Alert: the bogged! 🚨A variation of the skeleton, the bogged…

In a post on the Minecraft Blog, Mojang revealed two of the new features coming to Minecraft Update 1.21. The first of the two new features is a new block: The Vault, a special new storage block that protects against players who steal all the loot at the end of a trial. The second is the Wind Charge, a new item that drops from defeated breezes and allows you to harness their power.

Still the gaming behemoth it’s been since it was released over twelve years ago, Minecraft continues to sell in droves. Much of that is its mass appeal of allowing near-infinite build potential. But the recent release of the Planet Earth III DLC probably isn’t hurting things, either. Inspired by the BBC documentary of the same name, the latest Minecraft content brings more of the natural world to the blocky sandbox game. But it goes beyond just pretty animals. A recent post on the official website gives details on…

Minecraft Legends is shaping up to be a much more impressive and ambitious title than I gave it credit for when it was announced. What I initially wrote off as an even-more simplified riff on Pikmin with a Minecraft skin is a much more involved real-time strategy experience with fully voice-acted cutscenes, a procedurally generated open-world to explore, and lots of base-building and resource gathering that truly adapts Minecraft’s formula into another storied genre.

Voxart is a new building toy that can also be used to create retro-style art pieces for those ready to shun modern conveniences like anti-aliasing and finally ban curved surfaces from their lives.Unlike building toys such as Lego, where the individual components arrive as three-dimensional pieces you stack to build larger creations, the Voxart system starts out with flat plastic tiles in 16…
