Minecraft Will Soon Let You Craft Saddles 15 Years After They Were Added To The Game

Minecraft was publicly released in May 2009 and gained popularity with frequent updates. In 2010, saddles were added, allowing players to ride pigs and later horses, but they could not be crafted and had to be found in chests or dungeons. After 15 years, Mojang announced an update that allows players to craft saddles using 3 leather and 1 iron ingot. This change addresses the long-standing frustration of players who could not create saddles despite the game's crafting focus.

I tried gaming on Linux — and it’s better (and worse) than you think

The gaming experience on Linux, particularly with Ubuntu, has been positive, with many single-player and co-op games performing well due to compatibility tools like Wine and Steam's Proton. While most Windows games can be played on Linux, limitations exist, particularly for MMORPGs and competitive multiplayer games that rely on kernel-level anti-cheat systems, rendering titles like Fortnite and Valorant unplayable. Some competitive games do offer Linux support, but this is not guaranteed. Additionally, accessory applications for gaming peripherals often lack support on Linux, although open-source alternatives exist. As of 2025, while Linux gaming has improved, significant gaps remain, particularly in compatibility with anti-cheat systems, making it less appealing than Windows for many gamers.
