Minecraft Herdcraft Update Says Goodbye to Inventory for April Fools

Minecraft has introduced the Herdcraft snapshot, an April Fool's update that eliminates the traditional inventory system in favor of a dynamic, block-following mechanic. Players no longer have inventory slots; instead, their carried blocks are visually represented behind them. To gather resources, players must select the Punch option to bring blocks to life and then use the Attack/Mine option to extract the block's spirit, which can follow them or perform actions. Crafting requires players to manually place blocks on surfaces instead of using a crafting table interface. Combat mechanics have changed, allowing players to command collected weapons to fight autonomously. The Herdcraft snapshot is available for the Minecraft Java Edition through the Minecraft Launcher as snapshot 26w14a. These changes are temporary and exist only within the Herdcraft snapshot, allowing players to explore new mechanics without affecting their existing gameplay.

Super Meat Boy 3D has no vibe

Shaun Prescott, an Australian editor, discusses his experiences with the action platformer genre, focusing on Super Meat Boy 3D and its predecessors. He recalls how Super Meat Boy reignited his passion for the genre in 2010 after purchasing a secondhand Xbox 360. While Super Meat Boy remains a beloved title, it has become less central to his gaming thoughts, and he found Super Meat Boy Forever disappointing due to its autorunner format. Super Meat Boy 3D features themed levels but lacks a cohesive narrative and has an unappealing color palette. Despite these visual shortcomings, the gameplay mechanics are well-translated from the original game, although some levels are frustrating due to trial-and-error gameplay. Prescott's interest in Super Meat Boy 3D wanes as he progresses, feeling detached from the game's world, though it remains a competent entry for completionists in the action platformer genre.

Warframe’s Shadowgrapher update is out now, and Digital Extremes isn’t scared of your penis drawings

Players navigate an abandoned spaceship in the Chains of Harrow questline in Warframe, experiencing a horror-themed update called Shadowgrapher. The update features a new game mode, Follie's Hunt, where players are stalked by Follie, an ink blot-inspired Warframe, in the eerie Vesper relay. The gameplay is slower and more strategic, contrasting with Warframe's typical fast-paced action, and emphasizes coordination to avoid being caught by Follie. Follie's Shadowgraph ability allows players to summon customizable items, with safeguards in place to manage potential misuse. The Shadowgrapher update also introduces new cosmetics for Gauss and Grendel.
