Steam’s December Update Moves the Windows Client Fully to 64-bit

Valve's December update for the Steam client has transitioned the Windows version to a fully 64-bit application, ending partial 32-bit support. This change allows for improved performance and stability, as 64-bit applications can access greater system memory and manage larger tasks more effectively. Most Steam users on Windows, who already use a 64-bit operating system, will experience a seamless update. However, support for 32-bit Windows will continue only until January 1, 2026, after which it will cease. The update also includes enhancements such as improved reporting of suspicious messages, fixes for Big Picture Mode and Remote Play, and expanded controller support, including for Nintendo Switch 2 and GameCube controllers. Users on 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 will have the update installed automatically, while those on 32-bit systems must transition to a 64-bit version to continue using Steam after the cutoff date.

How To Find And Use Minecraft Mushrooms

Mushrooms in Minecraft can be found in various locations and can be harvested using any tool. Mining a large mushroom block yields up to two mushrooms of the same color, and mushrooms thrive in dimly lit areas with specific spawn rates: a 12.5% chance for red mushrooms and a 25% chance for brown mushrooms. They can grow on nearly any block type and are abundant in swampy regions, mushroom fields, old growth taiga biomes, and the Nether. In a witch's hut, mushrooms can be found in flower pots, and in the Bedrock version, they can appear on fallen trees. Shearing a Mooshroom cow yields five mushrooms, transforming it into a standard cow. Mushrooms can be purchased from the Wandering Trader for one emerald each. Players can plant mushrooms on almost any block except slabs and stairs, and they can grow into large mushrooms with bonemeal under specific conditions. Mushrooms can spread to nearby blocks if there are fewer than five in the area. They are used in various recipes, including Mushroom Stew, Rabbit Stew, Suspicious Stew, and Fermented Spider Eye, which is used for potion brewing.
