Minecraft devs say anything is possible in the sandbox game’s future as they start to dip into old ideas for new updates: “You always have more ideas than you can realize”

Minecraft is set to release its next update, Chaos Cubed, following the Tiny Takeover update. Mojang's product manager, Anna Lundgren, stated that the future of the game is open to endless possibilities, with the team revisiting previously shelved ideas for reimagining. The Copper Age update, released in September, is an example of this approach. Firefly bushes, initially planned for 2022 but removed due to concerns about their real-world implications, will be introduced in 2025 as a more eco-friendly alternative. Players are encouraged to stay engaged with the game as it evolves.

How to get Candleberries in Arc Raiders

Candleberries are a foragable fruit in Arc Raiders, and players can acquire them through two primary methods: gathering them from bushes during the Cold Snap map condition, particularly in lush areas like the swamp region of Dam Battlegrounds or near the Blue Gate, and earning them on the Gathering Candleberries reward track by converting earned XP into merits. Players can accumulate up to 180 Candleberries through regular gameplay and can also earn merits by contributing resources to the Candleberry Banquet project, which requires 20 Candleberries for the initial stage.

PSA: Look out sweaty PvPers, Arc Raiders’ foliage looks a little different depending on your graphics settings

Adjusting graphics settings in Arc Raiders can significantly affect player visibility and survival, influencing competitive play. The presence or absence of foliage alters gameplay, with higher settings obscuring opponents and lower settings providing clearer sightlines. This disparity can impact gameplay, especially in visually complex environments. While the effects are less pronounced in third-person shooters compared to first-person shooters, concerns about fairness and competitive integrity persist. The gaming community has reacted with mixed feelings, often maintaining a friendly demeanor despite the implications for player-versus-player interactions. Players desire a level playing field where skill determines victory, rather than technical advantages.

Arc Raiders’ most daring and lucrative exploit is being patched before launch, but Embark’s impressed by your efforts

Embark Studios is making adjustments to Arc Raiders based on player feedback from the recent Server Slam. Enhancements include improving visuals, rebalancing flying Arc machines like the Snitch and Hornet, and removing an exploit that allowed players to access the Dam Tower loot cave through parkour. The Dam Tower is a key location in the game's Dam Battlegrounds map, offering a loot room accessible via a scavenged key or defeating a player with one. Players had discovered a method to reach the loot room easily by scaling the tower. Embark acknowledged this exploit and stated it was too accessible. They also addressed concerns about the flying machines' detection capabilities and visual quality, which had been perceived as a downgrade. The game is set to launch on October 30, and players are encouraged to check system requirements.

World’s Smallest Minecraft Server Runs On a Tiny ESP32 Microchip

An inventive project called bareiron has created a custom Minecraft server on an ESP32 microcontroller, which is the size of a penny. The server operates with 400KB of memory and a 160MHz processor, significantly less than the typical requirements for a Minecraft server. To manage terrain generation, the project uses bilinear interpolation instead of the standard Perlin noise method, allowing for smooth landscape gradients while conserving memory. Biomes are represented as circular islands on a grid, with their types determined by a repeating pattern linked to the world’s seed. Cave systems are generated by mirroring the surface landscape, and ores are placed sparingly at depth. Crafting and inventory management have been simplified, with items directly added to the player's inventory instead of dropping. The server can load a chunk in about 200 milliseconds, though performance may decrease with more than three players. It operates on a trust-based model for player actions, which may lead to potential cheating.
