Clear system tray space on your taskbar by hiding the clock in Windows 11

The taskbar in Windows 11 can become cluttered, prompting users to hide the system clock. To hide the clock on Windows 11 version 23H2 or higher, users can open the Settings app, select Time & language, click on Date & time, and toggle off the Show time and date in the System tray button. Alternatively, users can right-click the clock in the system tray and select Adjust date and time. For Windows Pro, Education, or Enterprise editions, users can use the Local Group Policy Editor by navigating to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar, double-clicking Remove Clock from the system notification area, setting the policy to Enabled, and applying the changes. Users must sign out or restart their system for the clock to disappear. Hiding the clock can create a less cluttered workspace, and the change can be easily reversed through the Settings app, while the Group Policy method requires adjusting the policy back to Disabled or Not Configured.

Minecraft: Best Y Level for Iron – 9meters

Iron is essential for crafting tools, armor, and various items in Minecraft. The ideal Y level for mining iron in Minecraft 1.20 is 16, where ore distribution is most favorable. Iron ore can be found at Y levels ranging from -24 to 256, with three primary zones of prevalence: -24 to 56, 0 to 128, and 80 to 256. For effective mining, focus on Y level 16 or Y level 232 in mountainous regions. Iron ore generation is very high at Y=16 and high at Y=232. Other Y levels have moderate to low iron availability. The 1.18 update introduced a triangular distribution for iron ore, making it more abundant in mid-range levels, particularly around Y 16. Mining techniques include strip mining at Y=16, cave exploration, and branch mining. Using a Fortune-enchanted pickaxe increases iron yield. Iron can be used to craft tools, armor, weapons, gadgets, and building materials. Iron farms can be constructed to spawn iron golems for automated collection of iron.
