Builders can enhance projects with concrete available in 16 colors by mixing dye with sand and gravel. This mixture, combined with water, creates concrete blocks for crafting stairs or slabs, which can also be accessed from the Creative inventory. Cushions can be found in abandoned camps or crafted from three wool slabs of the same color, providing versatile seating options. Straw beds can be found in abandoned camps or crafted from three hay bales, allowing players to sleep without resetting their spawn point. The dappled forest biome features poplar trees and red shrubs, with hidden treasures like an abandoned tent. Abandoned camps include a tent, campfire, straw bed, and cushions. The wool block set now includes soft stairs and slabs in 16 colors. Poplar trees yield crafting materials, red shrubs add color, and shelf mushrooms can be used in various ways. Players can explore these features by enabling snapshots for Minecraft: Java Edition or activating previews/beta for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

Samsung follows LG in killing Smart TV apps that rent out your internet

Security researchers found that several Samsung Smart TV applications, including Pac-Man, were embedding residential proxy SDKs from data brokers like Bright Data. In response, Samsung has banned the inclusion of residential proxy functionality in new app submissions and is working to remove existing apps with such software. The investigation by Norwegian cybersecurity firm Mnemonic revealed that the Bright Data SDK was integrated into various gaming applications, some promoted by Samsung. While Samsung TVs were not automatically sharing internet connections, the SDK could be activated remotely by developers, requiring user consent. Once consent was granted, the proxy service could operate in the background. Many Samsung TV applications were found to download most of their code from remote servers, complicating verification processes. The issue of residential proxy software is not limited to Samsung, as it has also been identified in various Android apps and devices. Following these findings, LG and Google have also taken measures to address the risks associated with residential proxy networks.

‘Wait for me, my Czech friend’: Japanese dev adds Czech localization just for the one Steam user who wishlisted his game in the Czech Republic

The Czech Republic and Japan developed a bond during the 2023 World Baseball Cup, where the Czech team, mainly amateur players, lost 2-10 to Japan but impressed fans, particularly when pitcher Ondrej Satoria struck out Shohei Ohtani. Japanese developer Eba Game is launching a game called Ball Boy Simulator on Steam, incorporating Czech language support due to a single Czech fan's interest. The game, a psychological horror experience about high school baseball clubs, uses AI-generated content for various aspects of its development.

Villagers in Minecraft: What You Actually Need to Know

Villagers in Minecraft have 13 distinct professions that dictate their trades, such as librarians offering enchanted books, farmers trading crops, and armorers providing diamond gear. To assign a job to a villager, a job site block is required. Villagers trade based on specific items they desire, such as crops for farmers and emeralds as currency. Zombies can infect villagers, but they can be cured with a splash potion of weakness and a golden apple, resulting in significant trading discounts. Breeding villagers requires beds, food, and their willingness, while a well-structured trading hall can enhance trading efficiency. Protecting villagers from threats like zombies and pillager raids is essential. Transporting villagers can be done using minecarts, boats, water streams, or Nether portals. Server management requires attention to CPU, RAM, and storage to handle villagers efficiently. If villagers stop breeding or trading, check their access to beds, food, and job sites. Ultimately, trading with villagers can replace traditional resource gathering in the late game.

Prolific Team Fortress 2 collector is selling his in-game case arsenal for an estimated $100,000 — 1.7 million items collected over 10 years are enough to fund a house purchase

Vincent Stech has collected over 1.7 million Team Fortress 2 cases across multiple Steam accounts, with an estimated value of 0,000. He began this collection around late 2017 and used automated methods to accumulate the cases while avoiding detection by Valve. Stech holds approximately 17% of all publicly known TF2 cases, making it challenging to sell them without disrupting the market. He has found a buyer for his entire collection, with the transaction in progress and expected to be completed by October. Stech plans to use the proceeds from the sale as a down payment on a house.
