How to Make Eyeblossom Dye in Minecraft

Eyeblossoms have been introduced in the Minecraft winter update, found exclusively in the Pale Garden biome. There are two types of Eyeblossoms: Closed Eyeblossom, which yields Gray dye, and Open Eyeblossom, which produces Orange dye. To craft these dyes, players need to place the respective Eyeblossom on a Crafting table. Alternative methods to obtain Orange dye include using orange Tulips, Torchflowers, or mixing red and yellow dyes. For Gray dye, players can mix black and white dyes or trade with a Wandering Trader for either dye in exchange for emeralds.

‘Minecraft’ Guide: How To Get the Silk Touch Enchanment

The enchantment system in "Minecraft" includes the Silk Touch ability, which allows players to collect otherwise unobtainable blocks. Players can acquire Silk Touch through several methods: 1. Enchanting Table: Surround the Enchanting Table with 15 bookshelves to maximize enchantment levels. Players can place a tool and lapis lazuli into the table to receive three enchantment options, one of which may include Silk Touch. If Silk Touch does not appear, players can disenchant and try again. 2. Trading with a Librarian: Players can trade with a Librarian to obtain Silk Touch. To create a Librarian, a jobless villager can be converted by placing a lectern nearby. If Silk Touch does not show up in the trade menu, players can reset the trades by making the Librarian jobless again. 3. Finding Enchanted Tools: Players may occasionally find tools with Silk Touch by looting structures, such as the End City. This method is less efficient and relies on luck.

Windows 11’s new native Copilot rolls out to everyone, but it consumes more RAM

Microsoft has released a new version of its Copilot application for Windows 11, marking the fourth redesign since its launch. This version is now available in the Microsoft Store and is described as a more "native" experience compared to previous iterations, which were Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). The new app integrates more seamlessly with Windows and can be accessed from the system tray. However, it still relies on web-based components, loading its interface through a Microsoft Edge-based WebView, resulting in higher RAM consumption of 500MB to 600MB, with spikes up to 1.5GB. Users can summon the app using the Alt + Space keyboard shortcut. The redesign has been led by Mustafa Suleyman, and while it features a more traditional Windows appearance, the app's web-centric nature remains evident.

Japan to order Google to make these changes on its search app on Android smartphones

Japan's Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) is set to find Google in violation of the nation's competition laws, marking its first order against a major US technology firm. The JFTC plans to issue a cease-and-desist order requiring Google to stop monopolistic practices in the internet search sector, specifically related to agreements with Android smartphone manufacturers that mandate the installation of its search and Chrome browser applications to access app stores. This ruling is part of a broader trend, as Google is also facing scrutiny in other markets, including a recent argument from the US Department of Justice for drastic measures against the company. The JFTC has informed Google of its intended actions and will finalize its decision after considering the company's response. Google has not publicly commented on the situation.
