Dying in Minecraft is pretty bad, but dying in the Nether is worse. Not only do you have to trek all the way back from your home base in the Overworld, but you also run the risk of your kit getting burnt up in fire or lava.
We can’t do much about the latter, but in the Nether update we’re trying to make the former a little less frustrating by adding a way to set your spawn point in the Nether. And it requires our block of the week – crying obsidian.

From now on you should mostly see bug fixes leading up to the full release of 1.16.2, which we expect to happen in a few weeks.
Have you tried the free Nether Update map yet?
Bees. Lemonade. Haircuts. For a long time, I was worried this list of my greatest fears was about to get a new addition: The Nether. I’ll confess that I’ve always been something of a handsome coward when it comes to Minecraft’s most devious dimension, and haven’t ever had the courage to visit it. So imagine my horror when I learned the developers had recently released a huge Nether Update and there was nothing I could do to persuade them to delete it. Well, I suppose I could have tried being nice to them, but that felt too drastic.
Then I lear...

A deep dive into the development of an accidental feature
You may have noticed that you acquired a new skill last spring – the power of crawling! One would think that such a revolutionary skill was created with months of hard work and careful planning. Well, spoiler alert: it was all an accident! Care to learn how it came to be? Then grab a chair and hang on tight; this is the extensive behind-the-scenes story of how crawling crawled into Minecraft.
It all started with an innocent-looking bug report about hitboxes and eye heights. You see, all Minecraft mobs have a hitbox – an invisible box that ...

In recent years, conservation efforts saved many animals from extinction and indirectly made the sneezing panda video a reality. That’s a big win with an adorable cherry on top in my book – but what d...

Have you ever thought about how we make Minecraft? I know, neither had I. Before I watched this trailer I assumed that this blocky game came together through a series of random decisions, lost bets, and the occasion...
Read moreMeet the author behind Minecraft Dungeons’ first novel
Could there possibly be a better combination than books and Minecraft? Peanut butter and jelly? Macaroni and cheese? I certainly can’t think of a better use for ink and paper than to tell stories about amazing Overworld adventures.
And here’s even more proof: we’re about to release a new novel based on Minecraft Dungeons! It’s called Rise of the Arch-Illager, and is an exciting prequel to the game which sets out the early life of the Arch-Illager.
Wait, why would you want to read about that fink? Well, I asked the book's fantastic author, ...

Spring is here! And what better way to celebrate than to kick winter’s butt once and for all?
In this bundle from The Misfit Society and Pathway Studios, you enter a frozen world where winter has overstayed its welcome – and it shows. The crops are dead, the wells are frozen, and even once-gentle animals are turning hostile. But what is there to do? It’s not like you can control the weather… or can you? As the village scientist/wizard and all-around crackpot, you’ve invented the Spring-a-majig, a contraption that brings spring to any area you point it at...
Read moreVenture into digital worlds instead of the real one!
The world is upside down right now. We’re learning lots of new phrases like social distancing, contact tracing, and stop snacking just because you’re bored. Everyone around the world is coming together to do their part, whether that’s working on finding a vaccine, delivering food and supplies, or staying indoors. Whatever the case, all of our daily routines have been thrown completely out of whack. It’s easy to get scared at a time like this, which is why focusing on something can help you stay calm.
Educators around the world are...
