This Real-Life Minecraft Compass Points the Way to the Nearest Lodestone

Minecraft has evolved over 15 years from a basic game to a complex platform that allows players to craft advanced tools, including a compass that can guide them to specific locations. Chaosgoo has created a DIY compass that replicates the in-game compass in real life, allowing users to set destinations via a companion app. The compass uses a custom printed circuit board (PCB) featuring an ESP32-C3-MINI microcontroller with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, a USB connector, a lithium battery charger, and a digital compass. It includes 42 individually addressable RGB LEDs and a light diffuser that creates a voxel-like appearance for the compass needle. The device is designed for 3D printing and is portable. Documentation for building the compass is primarily in Chinese, but resources are available on MakerWorld, OSHW Hub, and GitHub.

How to Make Eyeblossom Dye in Minecraft

Eyeblossoms have been introduced in the Minecraft winter update, found exclusively in the Pale Garden biome. There are two types of Eyeblossoms: Closed Eyeblossom, which yields Gray dye, and Open Eyeblossom, which produces Orange dye. To craft these dyes, players need to place the respective Eyeblossom on a Crafting table. Alternative methods to obtain Orange dye include using orange Tulips, Torchflowers, or mixing red and yellow dyes. For Gray dye, players can mix black and white dyes or trade with a Wandering Trader for either dye in exchange for emeralds.

How To Make TNT In Minecraft

Players can craft TNT in Minecraft using two blocks of Sand and four pieces of Gunpowder. Sand can be easily obtained near bodies of water, while Gunpowder is primarily collected from defeating Creepers, Witches, and Ghasts, or found in chests in various locations. To ignite TNT, players can use Flint and Steel, which is crafted from one Flint and one Iron Ingot. Flint is obtained by mining gravel, and Iron Ingots are produced by smelting Iron Ore. Once ignited, TNT will explode after a few seconds, destroying nearby blocks.

Bundles Are Changing How Minecraft Inventory Works Forever

Mojang has introduced bundles in Minecraft, which are currently being tested in snapshots. Bundles can hold up to 64 unique items in single stack sizes, providing a solution for inventory organization. They can be crafted using one leather and one string. Bundles differ from shulker boxes, which hold larger stacks of 27 unique items, making them complementary for managing inventory, especially in the early game. However, bundles have some flaws, including a confusing control change from right-click to left-click and a limitation in displaying only 12 out of 64 items in their submenu. Suggestions for improvement include resizing items to fit all 64 or adding tabs for categorization.
