Pokemon Pokopia features a riff on Minecraft’s iconic Redstone system, and fans are already dreaming up the possibilities: “This is like super advanced”

Pokopia features innovative gameplay mechanics that allow for complex building tasks similar to Minecraft's Redstone system. The game's director, Takuto Edagawa, demonstrated a mechanism that activates lights, waterfalls, and neon LEDs through a motion-sensing system. This has led to comparisons with Minecraft among fans, who note the advanced level of customization in Pokopia. Additionally, a developer tour showcased a moving minecart that activated note blocks to create melodies, further emphasizing the game's Minecraft-inspired elements. Pokopia is highly anticipated, tying for the highest-rated title in the Pokémon series on Metacritic.

I asked Minecraft’s new AI helper how to kill skeletons and it got mad at me

Merl is a new AI assistant for Minecraft currently in beta, designed to help players with their inquiries. It has a cheerful appearance and is positioned beside a chat window. While it can successfully answer simple questions like "how to mine diamonds," it struggles with more complex queries, often citing content policy violations. For example, it fails to provide a direct answer to "how to kill skeletons?" and instead offers vague alternatives. Merl also has difficulty with fundamental questions, such as the name of the next Minecraft update or how to create a resource pack. Overall, early feedback indicates that Merl needs further refinement to meet player expectations.
