4 Minecraft armor tiers that should be in the game

Minecraft players constantly seek better tools and armor, with the community open to new innovations beyond the existing Diamond and Netherite sets. Four proposed armor sets include: 1. Bone Armor: Crafted from bones and leather, it enhances mobility and attack capabilities rather than protection, allowing for quicker strikes and increased speed. 2. Prismarine Armor: Made from prismarine shards and turtle scutes, it promotes underwater exploration, offering enhanced swimming speed and mining capabilities, while utilizing a Turtle Shell for breathing underwater. 3. Enderite Armor: A powerful armor set crafted from a rare ore found in the End dimension, requiring a unique crafting process. It could grant abilities like teleportation after a fall and would be essential if the End receives new content. 4. Slime Armor: This whimsical armor allows players to bounce back from falls, negating fall damage, and could feature a sticky mechanic that reduces mobility while protecting against knockback. It aims to introduce fun gameplay mechanics.

Minecraft Pointed Dripstone – Stalagmites And Stalactites Guide

Stalagmites, known as Pointed Dripstone in Minecraft, rise from the ground and are found in dripstone caves alongside stalactites, which hang from ceilings. Players can mine pointed dripstone and dripstone blocks using any tool, but a pickaxe is most efficient. To craft a dripstone block, four pointed dripstones are combined at a crafting table. Dripstone caves are located in overworld cave biomes, typically away from water sources. Stalagmites can double fall damage if a player or mob falls onto them, making them hazardous. They can also serve a decorative purpose. Stalactites, which hang down, can drip water or lava into a cauldron when positioned above it, but they deal damage only when the block they are attached to breaks.

The Big Catch: Tacklebox is the hardest 3D platformer I’ve ever played, 8+ hours long, and a free to play ‘prologue’ to a bigger, better game on the way

Tacklebox is a unique game featuring a rabbit-bird hybrid character named Tackle, designed with a nostalgic aesthetic reminiscent of early 2000s platformers.

The gameplay is challenging, requiring precision in movement mechanics and acrobatic challenges, with no fall damage adding to the difficulty. Players may face frustrating moments due to the steep learning curve and lack of checkpoints, but overcoming obstacles provides a strong sense of accomplishment. At the top of a tower, players encounter a mischievous fish that adds humor to the gameplay. Tacklebox is a free prequel to a full-length game, promising an exciting future for fans of the genre.

PSA: Getting annoyed by fall damage in Star Wars Outlaws? Grab this early game charm

In Star Wars Outlaws, players experience excessive fall damage, where even minor drops can significantly impact health. Health can be replenished using bacta vials, but each use depletes supplies, requiring players to loot or purchase more. To mitigate fall damage, players can acquire the Tooka Paw minor charm, which reduces fall damage significantly. The Tooka Paw can be found on the first main planet, Toshara, specifically at Typhon's Rock in the southern region of Mirogana within The Lost Steppe. To reach it, players must climb a stone wall, use a grapple point, navigate around a cliff, jump across gaps, and descend to the chest's location. Typhon's Rock also contains additional treasures, including encounters with Shuma the Rogue Trader and crafting materials, as well as access to a hidden area with the Ancient Hunter Carving major charm.

Is the Minecraft Mace an OP Weapon? Here’s What I Think

The mace introduced in Minecraft's 1.21 Tricky Trials update can one-shot every mob in the game and has unlimited damage potential based on fall height. It can be enhanced with powerful enchantments, including mending, unbreaking, smite, bane of arthropods, density, breach, and wind burst. Pairing the mace with the elytra allows players to maximize damage while minimizing fall damage. Crafting the mace requires a heavy core, which has an 8.3% drop rate, making it a mid to late-game item. Its effectiveness is reduced in confined spaces and underwater, and mastering its use requires skill and precision. Overall, the mace is considered well-balanced, providing significant damage potential while necessitating strategic positioning and execution. It serves as a high-damage option within Minecraft's weapon arsenal, contrasting with faster weapons and aligning with the game's lore.

Best Minecraft Mace enchantments

Enchanting a pickaxe in Minecraft allows players to extract multiple diamonds from a single ore block, turning four Diamond ores into 12 Diamonds. The Mace can be enhanced with nine enchantments: Bane of Arthropods, Breach, Curse of Vanishing, Density, Fire Aspect, Mending, Smite, Unbreaking, and Wind Burst. - Bane of Arthropods: Increases damage against arthropods (max level V). - Breach: Reduces target armor effectiveness by 15% per level, capping at 60% (max level IV). - Curse of Vanishing: Causes the item to disappear on player death (max level I). - Density: Increases damage dealt per fallen block by 0.5 per level, with a maximum increase of 2.5 damage per fallen block (max level V). - Fire Aspect: Sets targets hit on fire (max level II). - Mending: Causes the Mace to regenerate durability from experience (max level I). - Smite: Increases damage against undead mobs (max level V). - Unbreaking: Increases the durability of the Mace (max level III). - Wind Burst: Creates a Wind Burst on hit that sends the player into the air, elevating by seven blocks per level, reaching a maximum height of 21 blocks (max level III). Wind Burst forfeits fall damage protection, making Feather Falling recommended.
