This Minecraft map attempts to simulate social distancing during a pandemic

Are all you kids out there still playing Minecraft? Let's hope so, because some folks have made a Minecraft map to teach you younguns about how social distancing and healthcare services work together to beat a pandemic. It sounds a bit corny off the cuff but it does look pretty neat, actually, and although it's not a scientifically-accurate model, it might actually help teach some…

Minecraft’s RTX beta is out today, assuming you’ve the power to run it

I’ve spent countless hours fiddling with Minecraft’s player-made shaders, trying to illuminate my builds with blinding lights to distract from their overall shonkiness. Mojang’s first step into making that sort of rendering official is coming this Thursday, bringing global illumination, shiny reflections, and more. There are a couple of requirements, however.

Fall in love with the Minecraft Harry Potter mod, in our gif tour

My owl has finally arrived and invited me to Hogwarts! He told me it was a hoot. It’s all a bit different nowadays, though. It’s shifted to a fully digital school. Instead of running headfirst at the first wall I see, I’m to enter via the Minecraft School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry, a remarkable recreation of Harry Potter’s past, including all the sights of that…

Hands-on preview: Minecraft Dungeons is an unexpected treasure

When Minecraft Dungeons was first announced, I thought it was a bit of an odd call. Dungeon crawlers are popular, and Minecraft is popular, but… a Minecraft dungeon crawler? Surely, I figured, a switch to isometric dungeoneering would lose all of Minecraft’s creative, construction-toy charm in translation, and I just couldn’t see Minecraft’s gently strange, cuboid world as an intuitive setting for a Diablolike lootstabber.…

You can check these tunes out now…
