New Realms

This week in Java Realms, we have three exciting new maps for you to explore: Crafting Cube, Tic-Tac-Toe in the classic board game style, and a High-Tech Flying Ship Park. This time around, it’s a brief and quick update, so let’s dive right in!

Crafting Cube

– A peak at crafting skills

Crafting Cube is a Minecraft map that doesn’t test your alien-blasting skills or how well you can jump between blocks; instead, it purely assesses your knowledge of Minecraft. Players receive a recipe, learn it, and then are tasked with crafting an item based on that recipe. Sounds easy, right? But this dispenser contains redstone, and I can’t mine it with my wooden knife. Sure, I’ll get an iron knife, but first, I need a furnace and a crafting table! If you’ve mastered the quickest way to obtain items by climbing the tech tree in Minecraft Bedrock, you’ll have a significant advantage.

Tic-Tac-Toe

by Wector11211

Tic-Tac-Toe is a game many of us played as children. Since it’s a “solved” game where optimal play leads to a draw every time, it may not be popular in late-night gaming sessions or casinos. But what if you created a 3×3 board? With these rules, each move you make determines the outcome of the game. Thinking one step ahead is simple, but strategizing several steps forward while preventing your opponent from winning easily is much more challenging!

NM Corporation

by Spark Squared

NM Corporation is a fresh addition to the “inspiration” category in Realms. Your mission here is to explore, observe, and gather inspiration for building. Are you an aspiring builder looking to soar into space, or perhaps you want to fill your ocean with transport ships? If you’re interested in such a map, we encourage you to study the project closely and come up with your own ideas. Good luck!

General Section

In a bygone era when gaming magazines ruled the world, gamers eagerly flipped through pages seeking the latest cheat codes for their favorite games. Some granted extra lives, while others added bonus levels. Generally, it was quite fun and engaging.

As our team works extensively with custom mapping, we thought it would be interesting to share our own version of a “cheat code” in Minecraft: Java Edition. All you need to do is enable cheats in single-player mode and then enter this command in chat:

/summon minecraft:illager_beast ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:”minecraft:illusioner”,Passengers:[{id:”minecraft:guardian”,ActiveEffects:[{Id:14b,Amplifier:1b,Duration:5000,ShowParticles:0b}]}]}]}

What does this jumbled, cryptic text actually do? If you know anything about commands, you can read and understand most of it. This code summons a new beast in Minecraft Pocket Edition controlled by an illusionist. The guardian rides atop the beast, shooting lasers at you. How cool is that?
