Minecraft’s Aprils Fool’s Day 2025 updates take crafting to the next level

Minecraft has introduced a new mode called Craftmine for April Fool's Day 2025, allowing players to design and construct personalized mines. Players can generate a mine by selecting resources and using the Mine Crafter, which provides additional resources for crafting. To access Craftmine, players must enable "Enable Snapshots" in the Minecraft Launcher and select the latest snapshot. In Craftmine mode, players start at a room with the Craftminer block and can craft items by collecting wood, converting it to planks, and arranging them in a 2x2 grid. Players are advised to back up their worlds as snapshots can corrupt them.

Beware new Google ‘yellow warning’ that saves you from costly nightmare

Google has introduced a yellow warning banner in the Google Play Store to alert Android users about apps that are frequently uninstalled. This banner indicates that an app may not be meeting user expectations and could be due to poor functionality, excessive advertisements, or inflated costs. Additionally, Google has implemented two other notifications: one indicating lower user engagement with an app and another showing fewer users compared to other apps. These features aim to help users make more informed app choices and avoid potentially harmful applications. Google Play Protect is also available to scan downloaded apps for security, including those from outside the Play Store. Users can enable settings to improve harmful app detection, enhancing overall safety in the app ecosystem.

Microsoft de-borks USB printing in Windows 11

Microsoft released an update, KB5053657, on March 25 to address printer issues caused by a previous patch in January that affected USB-connected dual-mode printers. Users reported printers producing random text and data, often starting with the header POST /ipp/print HTTP/1.1. The glitch was acknowledged in the March 11 update, which also unintentionally removed the Copilot application from some devices. Microsoft stated that the Copilot issue has been resolved without needing a patch. Additionally, users of version 2411 of the Citrix Session Recording Agent are still experiencing issues, and Microsoft is working with Citrix on a solution.
