After years of continued updates and support, the Minecraft team has announced that the coming Update Aquatic content drop will be the last significant update to hit the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita, and Wii U versions of the game.

Mojang notes that the decision to leave these versions behind was driven by a need to support the platforms where most of Minecraft’s player base dwell and, all together, the legacy systems listed above only account for less than 5 percent of the game’s active players.

Additionally, the studio notes that players using the older Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions of Minecraft won’t be receiving the update, but downloading a free upgrade to Minecraft’s latest release on those platforms will grant players on those platforms access to Update Aquatic when it drops.

Though the game first officially released in 2011, Minecraft hit the Xbox 360 in 2012, PlayStation 3 in 2013, Vita in 2015, and WiiU in 2015. In the years since, Mojang has continued to deliver updates to both legacy and current generation versions of the game, but now notes that, going forward, only Minecraft’s Java Edition (PC), PlayStation 4 Edition, and “Bedrock Engine” releases of Minecraft for mobile, Windows 10, and consoles will be supported by future updates.

Future Minecraft updates won’t come to last-gen consoles

Mojang, the developer behind popular video game Minecraft, has announced that after the upcoming ‘Update Aquatic’ release, the game will not update on older consoles.

Players on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PS Vita and Wii U will all receive the latest update shortly after the initial launch hits newer systems.

But this will be the last new update that is compatible with these platforms.

‘This will mark the last big effort to keep those editions up to date with our newer versions of the game,’ Mojang said in a post on their website.

‘Although we’d love to keep bringing new content to all our players forever, the older generation of consoles now make up less than 5 percent of our active players’

‘So we’ve made the difficult decision to focus our efforts to support players where they play Minecraft the most and where we plan to add new features,’ they added.

Minecraft will still be available on Java, PlayStation 4 Edition and the versions of the game made with the Bedrock Engine on other consoles, mobile, and Windows 10.

The company also will not be releasing Update Aquatic on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, as users can upgrade to the newer version for free.

Minecraft was first released in 2011, and by early 2018 over 144 million copies had been sold, making it the second best-selling video game of all time.

In September 2014, Microsoft announced it was buying Mojang and the Minecraft intellectual property for $2.5billion.

Microsoft recently released a major overhaul to the quality of Minecraft’s graphics.

With the update, launched in 2017, it gave users 4K HDR graphics and be given access to the ‘Super Duper Graphics Pack’, which adds stunning effects to scenes such as sparkles on rippling water and dynamic shadows.

Minecraft has also been used in educational environments, especially in the realm of computing systems.

Gaming has been found to teach students to be resourceful, and the previous study’s have suggested that video games have a role to play in the future of education.

Minecraft’s Next Big Update Will Be The Last For Legacy Consoles

Avengers: Infinity War premiered in Los Angeles on Monday night and the lucky ones who got to be there have reacted on social media and website. The screening has increased the excitement among Marvel Fandom. Come to think of it the Marvel Cinematic Universe has produced 18 movies over 10 years now. The Infinity War, however, is the epic finale of the superhero amalgamation. The movies can be watched in three phases:

Phase one:

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

The First Avenger is set during World War two and could be the perfect beginning for the superhero franchise. At the end of the movie Nick Furry tells Captain about a “new assignment”.

Iron Man (2008) 

In spite of The First Avenger being on top of the order Iron Man is officially the first feature in the MCU. The mention of the Avengers could be seen in the post-credit scenes.

Iron Man 2 (2010)

The movie further dwells into the life of Tony Stark and introduces Natasha Romanoff as Black Widow. The post-credit scenes reveal the first Thor movie when Agent Coulson finds Thor’s hammer in a remote crater outside Mexico.

Thor (2011)

The first Marvel movie which extends beyond the planet as Thor was sent to Earth as a punishment by Odin, his father and ruler of Asgard. The post-credits reveal the Loki meeting the Tesseract and hence The Avengers.

The Avengers (2012)

This marks the biggest crossover of the superheroes where the Avengers fight Thor’s half-brother Loki and his army of Chitauri warriors.The last movie of phase one, The Avengers post-credits reveals Thanos.

Phase two:
Iron Man (2013)

The last stand-alone feature for Tony Stark, this point marks the beginning of phase two and other Avengers make off time appearances. The post-credit reveals Dr Bruce Banner.

Thor: The Dark World (2013) 

This movie now focuses on building a bigger picture around Thanos and the infinity stones. Thor’s girlfriend Dr Jane Foster discovers the Aether or the Reality stone. This also sets up Guardians of the Galaxy.

Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014)

The second in the instalment Winter Soldier brings Bucky into the picture, he is an old friend of Rogers now a trained agent for HYDRA. Bucky fights Rogers. The end revels first glimpse of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

This MCU now shows whole another universe introducing Galaxy’s most lovable outlaws. It also features Gamora and Nebula, the two adopted daughters of Thanos who turn out to be assassins.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (2017)

The second installment comes after 3 long years and fits perfectly before Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

The second part introduces Scarlet Witch and Vision. The Mind Stone is added to the MCU roaster in this one as The Avengers create Vision out of it to battle Ultron. The post-credit reveals Thanos as he is seen wearing the infinity gauntlet.

Ant Man (2015)

This is an origin story. Nevertheless, it introduces Ant-man and the Wasp. It is also a prelude to Captain America: Civil War as Rogers looks to protect Bucky from the rest of the Avengers.

Phase three:
Dr Strange (2016)

The MCU introduces new world to the fans as a whole new story with Dr Strange. Dr Stephen Strange possesses the Time Stone which gives him power to alter reality. The post-credit reveals Thor: Ragnarok where Thor asks to take Loki back to Asgard.

Captain America: Civil War (2016)

The third instalment in the series marks the break in the Avengers as Tony Stark seeks revenge from Bucky for the murder of his parents. This movie introduces Spiderman and Black Panther.

Spiderman Homecoming (2017)

This is an origin story for Spiderman has nothing to do with the Infinity War whatsoever. This is a break from the intense build up for the Infinity War.

Black Panther (2018)

The most successful in the MCU, Black Panther made five times more money than any movie in 2018. We see the world of Wakanda, King T’Challa is crowned after the death of his father in Civil War. The post credit scenes shows Bucky seeking refuge in Wakanda which was now open for the world.

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

The last edition of the Thor franchise and a perfect set-up for the Infinity War. As Asgard is destroyed, the people are now in a ship as Loki asks Thor if taking them to Earth would be a good idea. A big ship arrives towards them which could well be Thanos’ ship and forms the opening scene of Infinity War.

With less than three days to go for Avengers: Infinity War, all you need is precisely one day, nine hours and 52 minutes of Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The correct order to binge on Marvel movies before Avengers: Infinity War hits the theaters

A nearly hour-long Twitch stream from the official Minecraft Twitch account yesterday answered some questions players may have had and revealed information about an upcoming update to the New Nintendo 3DS Edition of Minecraft.

The stream unveiled a new Mario-styled world in the game, the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack that’s already on the Wii U and Switch versions of the game. This blocky version of Mario features giant statues of in-game characters, pipes players can run through, mushrooms extending toward the sky, and boss castles for you to find.

With the update, the base Minecraft game on the New Nintendo 3DS will run at 60 FPS, though in order to increase the draw-distance the framerate was turned down to 30 for the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack.

An in-game store will be coming to the New 3DS Edition in the future, which the developers promise to reveal more information about “in due time.” They’re also still working on bringing the game to the European market.

The stream also revealed Minecraft’s upcoming aquatic update for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Vita, and Wii U will be the last major content update for those systems, though a date for that update has yet to be announced.

Mario Coming to Minecraft on New Nintendo 3DS

When Minecraft joined the Nintendo Switch library, the release on the New Nintendo 3DS paled in comparison. It was unfortunate, but since then there have been multiple improvements to the game. Other Ocean Interactive has been hard at work on update five and fans will be glad to hear what’s part of it – frame rate fixes. Shared on Minecraft’s Twitch channel, you can look forward to the following in the coming months:

• Super Mario Edition world will be available along with a Daisy skin.
• Base game can now run in 60fps.
• Super Mario Edition world was confirmed to run in 30fps.
• An in-game store will be added.

Other than that, the hosts of the stream reassured European fans that an EU release is still in the works. By the sounds of it, there are some business issues that have been holding back the release overseas.

To check out the stream, you can view the replay on Minecraft’s Twitch channel. The NN3DS portion starts around 8:27, with a tour of the Super Mario Edition world.

Minecraft on New Nintendo 3DS will get a performance update

After years of continued updates and support, the Minecraft team has announced that the coming Update Aquatic content drop will be the last significant update to hit the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita, and Wii U versions of the game.

Mojang notes that the decision to leave these versions behind was driven by a need to support the platforms where most of Minecraft’s player base dwell and, all together, the legacy systems listed above only account for less than 5 percent of the game’s active players.

Additionally, the studio notes that players using the older Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions of Minecraft won’t be receiving the update, but downloading a free upgrade to Minecraft’s latest release on those platforms will grant players on those platforms access to Update Aquatic when it drops.

Though the game first officially released in 2011, Minecraft hit the Xbox 360 in 2012, PlayStation 3 in 2013, Vita in 2015, and WiiU in 2015. In the years since, Mojang has continued to deliver updates to both legacy and current generation versions of the game, but now notes that, going forward, only Minecraft’s Java Edition (PC), PlayStation 4 Edition, and “Bedrock Engine” releases of Minecraft for mobile, Windows 10, and consoles will be supported by future updates.

Future Minecraft updates won’t come to last-gen consoles

Microsoft announced today that the Minecraft Update Aquatic will be the last update for legacy console editions of the game. The update is set to arrive “a little while” after launching on current Java Edition and the new Bedrock Engine and will mark the last big development effort for Minecraft on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PS Vita and Wii U.

The Minecraft team noted they would “love” to keep bringing new content to all players, but have data to prove that Minecraft on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PS Vita and Wii U is not popular. They cited that older generation of consoles makes up less than 5% of active players, and also explain their decision-making proccess:

We’ve made the difficult decision to focus our efforts to support players where they play Minecraft the most and where we plan to add new features: on Java, PlayStation 4 Edition and the versions of Minecraft made with the Bedrock Engine on other consoles, mobile, and Windows 10.

On another note, those still playing the older versions of Minecraft on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch won’t be receiving the Aquatic features. It is encouraged for these users to get the newer version of the game for free on Xbox One, or to wait for a patch on Nintendo Switch which will enable the install of the new version of the game for free.

Minecraft to discontinue updates for older consoles after upcoming “Update Aquatic”

Minecraft‘s developers announced the next update is coming to older consoles — and that it’ll be the last one available on those machines.

The details: Minecraft‘s next update, Aquatic, is coming to the versions of the game available on PS3, PS Vita, Xbox 360, and Wii U (as well as the PS4, though that one will still receive updates). The developers stated they were cutting off last-gen consoles because most of their audience doesn’t use them any longer:

Although we’d love to keep bringing new content to all our players forever, the older generation of consoles now make up less than 5 percent of our active players…

This marks another milestone in the twilight years of these last-gen consoles — though I still maintain the Vita has a lot of life left if Sony bothers to keep it around.

But wait, there’s more: The developers specified the new versions of the game available on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch would be available with Aquatic included — and urged those who were still using the old versions to upgrade, which both of them can do for free. This means you’ll need the game on one of those consoles, PC, mobile, or PS4 in order to have the most up-to-date version of Minecraft.

Regardless, if you do have one of these legacy consoles and Minecraft, Update Aquatic will probably keep you occupied for a while, as it adds new underwater action and animals.

Minecraft’s next update will be the end for last-gen consoles

Final Fantasy XV hasn’t shied away from crossovers, with elements of Assassin’s Creed, The Sims, and Half-Life all appearing in the game in some way. Now you can add Minecraft to that crossover list, but going the other way.

Mojang today launched the Final Fantasy XV Skin Pack on the Minecraft Marketplace. Of course, the pack includes the four main protagonists from the game: Noctis, Ignis, Prompto, and Gladiolus. But in addition, there are skins for villains like Ardyn and Astrals like Ifrit and Shiva.

In all, there are 43 skins to choose from, all of which are drawn from creatures, villains, heroes, and others from around the world of Eos. Personally, I’m going Moogle and Cactuar skins.

The Final Fantasy XV Skin Pack is up for grabs now on the Minecraft Marketplace.

Avengers: Infinity War made history by earning an estimated $630m (£457m) worldwide on its opening weekend.

That’s way ahead of the previous first weekend record of $542m set by The Fate of the Furious last year.

And the new Avengers movie, in which Marvel superheroes unite to battle Thanos, hasn’t opened in China yet.

It is also likely to take the all-time North American opening weekend record after making an estimated $250m. Star Wars: The Force Awakens took $248m.

Industry tracker Exhibitor Relations made the estimates and official figures will come out later on Monday, but they rarely vary significantly from the estimates.

Infinity War, directed by brothers Joe and Anthony Russo, cost between $300m and $400m to make.

Actors including Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chadwick Boseman and Chris Pratt, star in the sequel, the first of two parts. The conclusion is set to be released in May 2019.

The films with the all-time top five opening weekends are all sequels and spin-offs.

Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds congratulated the Avengers on their success by posting a letter supposedly written by Tony Stark (AKA Iron Man) to Deadpool, rejecting his request to join the Avengers.

Reynolds wrote: “From a guy who never knows when to quit, I’m glad you guys never did. Congrats #Avengers.”

Avengers: Infinity War comes 10 years after the release of Iron Man, which kicked off a series of high-profile superhero films.

The first Avengers came out in 2012. It held the previous record opening for a Marvel film, making $207.4m domestically. Age of Ultron, the second Avengers feature, debuted with $191m.

Avengers: Infinity War smashes global opening weekend box office record

Thanks to Spider-Man: Homecoming, there’s been a lot of confusion about the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s timeline but it turns out that Avengers: Infinity War may have finally cleared things up for us…

Spider-Man: Homecoming kicks off with a flashback to the events of The Avengers and that’s followed by a title card reading “8 Years Later.” That immediately confused fans as it would mean Ant-Man, Captain America: Civil War, and Black Panther all took place in 2020, something which doesn’t make a lot of sense when The Avengers was supposed to take place in 2012 and the MCU moves in real-time.

However, things are cleared up in Avengers: Infinity War when Iron Man’s conversation with Doctor Strange reveals that Loki and the Chitauri’s invasion of New York took place six years ago. That places this movie in 2018 as there’s no way Spider-Man: Homecoming was set two years after this one.

This means Spider-Man: Homecoming‘s title card should have read “4 Years Later” instead of “8 Years Later.” How that oversight came to pass isn’t clear but it could be more Sony’s doing than Marvel Studios. Either way, it’s nice to have things clarified because this is something which has been bothering fans since last year! What did you think of Avengers: Infinity War? Sound off down below.

SPOILERS: AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Cleared Up The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Confusing Timeline

It looks like Final Fantasy 15’s road-tripping boys have gotten a wee bit lost on their way to a wedding or a fight or a chocobo race. They’re so lost, in fact, that they’ve managed to drive right out of Eos and enter the considerably more blocky world of Minecraft. They’ve dragged some pals along, too, including those of the more monstrous persuasion.

Premium skin packs aren’t the most tempting of offers for a game that’s so customisable and already contains more player-made skins than you could hope to use, but you do admittedly get a fair amount of bang for your buck here. If you’ve got the Windows 10 version of Minecraft, you’ll be able to add Noctis and pals—all 43 skins—for a measly $2.99.

Honestly, the image of Prompto riding a pig has already sold me on this, and I don’t even play Minecraft these days. But if you’d rather use characters from other Final Fantasy games, there are plenty of free alternatives. There are some skins from 15 in there, too.

Final Fantasy 15’s Noctis and pals have come to Minecraft

Tencent wants to one-up Minecraft

When and where is it on?

14th & 15th April at The RDS, Dublin

How many years has it been going?

The event started in 2014, but this is our second year at The RDS, and our first event as an Official Minecraft Community Event, partnered with Mojang and Microsoft.

What was the inspiration to start it?

The inspiration came from watching the kids playing the game at home. There were similar events in other countries that were hugely popular, but there was nothing in Ireland. We spotted the gap and we set up the first event in Galway in 2014.

What exciting things can people look forward to?

We have a fantastic mix of fun and games, education and inspiration! From Build Battle Tournaments to On-Stage Challenges and Meet and Greets, our events have something for every Minecraft fan.

What opportunities are on offer for those attending?

Attendees get the opportunity to meet the YouTubers that they watch on their phones, tablets and TVs every day – this has always been a huge incentive for people to attend but we try to offer a complete Minecraft experience for all attendees!

Who will be speaking?

We are lucky enough to be bringing Dinnerbone and LadyAgnes over from Sweden, who are two of the Mojang team that actually develop Minecraft itself. We also have a great selection of the top Microsoft Educators who use Minecraft every day to teach and inspire children around the world. There will be nine world-famous Minecraft YouTubers who will be answering questions from the guests, as well as Anne McCormack, author of the book Keeping Your Child Safe on Social Media: Five Easy Steps.

What tips would you give to people attending to get the most out of it?

Grab a free show guide as you enter, which shows the full day’s schedule, and then plan what talks, meet and greets and stage shows you want to see. There is a lot to see and do, so you will need to plan carefully!

How can people book tickets / when does it usually sell out?

Tickets are available Ticketmaster and we advise everyone to book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!

Anything else you’d like to add / we should have asked?

We have a great selection of Official Minecraft Merchandise available, some of which you can only purchase at our events, so this will be a great souvenir of what we hope will be a fantastic weekend for everyone that attends.

MINECRAFT CONVENTION UNVEILS LATEST ADDITIONS TO EVENT LINE-UP

AROUND 50,000 Minecraft players have been exposed to a computer virus that wipes a machine’s hard drive and deletes backup data and programs.

The malicious software is attached to the downloadable “skins” that can change the look of a player’s character in the game.

These add-ons are available on the Minecraft website, potentially putting the game’s entire user base of 74million players in harm’s way.

Cyber-security software-maker Avast told The Sun that it’s been in touch with Minecraft developer Mojang, and is working to fix the exploit.

The company says it blocked 14,500 infection attempts in the last ten days alone.

Avast notes that Minecraft’s largest demographic of 15 to 21-year-old players (who account for 43 per cent of its user base) are particularly susceptible to the hack.

“The bad actors may have looked to capitalize on a more vulnerable group of unsuspecting users that play a game trusted by parents and guardians,” said the company.

We’ve reached out to Mojang with questions concerning the nature of the attack, and how long the company was aware of it. We will update this article with its response.

Users can spot and evade the virus in a number of ways.

Firstly, don’t download any Minecraft skins from the game’s website until the threat is dealt with. Three of the dodgy outfits can be seen above.

Users may also get unusual, sweary messages in their Minecraft account inbox. Some of the identified examples include:

“You Are Nailed, Buy A New Computer This Is A Piece Of S***.”

“You have maxed your internet usage for a lifetime.”

“Your a** got glued.”

And you may have also been affected if you notice your computer suddenly started playing up or you get an error message related to disk formatting.

To keep yourself protected, Avast recommends scanning your machine with an antivirus software that will detect the malicious files and remove them.

In some cases, you may even have to re-install Minecraft.

And in more extreme circumstances, where your machine has already been infected with the malware, data restoration is recommended.

BLOCKED OUT Minecraft players warned over terrifying hack that could wipe your computer

Servers are your gateway to expanding your horizons in Minecraft, and here we’ve rounded up the best Minecraft servers around. Like fantasy? Want to walk through a blocky recreation of your favourite TV show or film? Want to grief without the fear of a ban? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above, servers have got you covered.

Joining a server is nice and simple. All you need to do is load up Minecraft as you normally would, hit multiplayer, then add a server. Name it whatever you want, then type or Ctrl+V the IP address into the box below. Save it, click play, and you’re good to go. Just keep in mind some servers need you to download data for them to run correctly. If this at any point fails, just quit out and keep trying. It should work eventually.

The Lord of the Craft

While this may sound like a Lord of the Rings server, it’s not quite. It’s fantasy, sure, but with a huge focus on roleplaying. The world, and its lore, is already set up, and a helpful warp command means travelling between the different kingdoms (high elves, dark elves, dwarves, etc) is simple. All you need is a killer skin and an elaborate backstory and you’re good to go.

IP Address: mc.lotc.co

 Grand Theft Minecart

You can probably guess from the title which popular video game series this server is based on. You guessed it, the unstoppable juggernaut that is Hello Kitty Online. Or GTA. It’s one of the two.

Join this server and you’ll be treated to two different game modes (Grand Theft Minecart and Vice Minecart), as well as 35 different GTA-inspired weapons. There are also plenty of vehicle offerings including cars, planes, and of course, tanks.  Because it’s not GTA if there isn’t an option to go on an explodey murder-spree.

IP Address: mc-gtm.net 

The Mining Dead

What’s the one thing missing from Minecraft? Guns! Although that’d just make it Fortnite, wouldn’t it? Either way, if you’re a fan of The Walking Dead TV show or comic, this is a great opportunity to take in all the famous sights as you’re scrambling to find weapons, ammo, and generally anything to help fend off the undead. And because of the voxel stylings of Minecraft, there’s a faint whiff of Goldeneye 64 to the whole thing.

IP Address: hub.havocmc.net

Arkham Network

Fancy donning a cape while shouting “You have failed this city!”? Maybe you’re an anarchist looking to watch the world burn? Whichever side you choose to join, the Arkham Network has a comic-book world that’s just begging to be explored. And griefed, obviously. There are also a host of different day jobs for making coin, and a wealth of gamemodes to participate in. One of the key rules of this server is make friends, fast. You’ll need them.

IP Address: mc.arkhamnetwork.org

Pokefind

Arguably one of the best Pokémon/Minecraft mashups out there, Pokefind starts as you’d expect. You meet a professor before being tasked with choosing a Pokémon. The starter choice options mirrors that of Generation 1, so that’s Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle. Once you’ve picked Bulbasaur (because you absolutely should!), you can either chill at the Pokémon centre, learn about crafting, or head into the wild and fight some poor animals. It’s just like the actual games, then.

 MC Middle Earth

A team was always going to attempt to recreate the Lord of the Rings universe in Minecraft, and the result is something truly breathtaking. Everything in this world has been meticulously crafted to feel as real as possible. Taking a stroll through the Shire is a lovely way to lose a few hours, but if you’re not here for a sightseeing tour, there’s also a PvP server. Because of course there is.

Build IP Address: build.mcmiddleearth.com

PvP and Event IP Address: pvp.mcmiddleearth.com

 The Tomb

If you’re new to the world of Minecraft servers, you’ll be forgiven for not knowing what a prison server is. Basically, the player spawns and is locked in an area. In The Tomb’s case, it’s an underground mine teeming with lavish decorations. The goal here is to level up and escape by collecting and selling resources. Think No Man’s Sky if No Man’s Sky was trapped underground without a spaceship. If you’re a fan of relaxing grinding, this one’s for you.

IP Address: the-tomb.com

Extreme Craft

We couldn’t put out a list of Minecraft servers without mentioning one of the most popular out there. Extreme Craft keeps popping up because of the sheer amount of modes there are to play, including the likes of a fully fleshed out survival mode, hunger games, factions, skygrid, skywars, skyblock, acid island, and eggwars. That’s on top of a creative mode and the option of roleplaying. It’s like a Minecraft greatest hits compilation.

IP Address: play.extremecraft.net

Minewind

For people who hate people there’s Minewind, an anarchy server where the only rule is don’t cheat. See someone building a nice tower they’ve spent hours on? Tear the whole thing down and laugh as they furiously scramble to get away. Another player near diamonds? Push them headfirst into lava. Here you can grief as much as you desire with zero repercussions. While this is one server you may want to avoid, it’s also a server you may want to visit, because you’re a horrible, horrible person.

IP Address: play.Minewind.com

Potter World MC

When you first enter Potter World, you’re greeted by the boy himself battling a dementor as Hogwarts sits ominously in the background. Much like Middle Earth, Potter World goes all out when it comes to authenticity. Buildings appear as they do in the mind’s eye, complete with inside furnishings. You can learn about potion making, duel other wizards and witches, or go off and play a friendly round of quidditch. This is Minecraft at its strongest: creating game worlds that best those of their AAA counterparts.

The best Minecraft servers

Minecraft users will be able to download a new update this evening and with the update comes the inclusion of Final Fantasy XV skins. The Final Fantasy XV skin pack will be available on both the Nintendo Switch and also the Wii U. Here’s what’s coming in the upcoming due later today:
