Minecraft Teases Another Ocean Update

Way back in 2018, Minecraft received its Update Aquatic, a massive update that totally revamped the underwater biomes with new blocks, new mobs, and new structures. Today, Mojang has just teased what could be another revamp for Minecraft's undersea world.

There's not much to the teaser. It's mostly just Alex on a stone block staring out into the deep blue ocean. "There's more out there to discover coming soon..." reads the caption, without discussing what those discoveries could be.

But we do have a pretty big clue. Alex is holding the new brush tool that was added in the recent Trails and Tails update. The brush tool is part of the new archeology mechanic that lets you dig up Suspicious Sand blocks, dust them off, and unearth Mysterious artifacts of long-lost civilizations. You could also get other loot like sticks or emeralds, but you're really after the pottery. Get enough pottery shards, and you'll recreate a decorative pot to add to your home.

Suspicious Sand is only found near desert ruins, so it seems safe to assume whatever update Mojang has planned will add a similar Suspicious block to underwater ruins. Whether we'll just get pottery shards or some other loot is unclear.

The Trails and Tails update added a whole lot more than just archeology. Minecraft also got cherry blossoms, decorative armor trims, and the long-awaited Sniffer mob. There are also custom signage, bookshelves, and cranky camels to take you from one desert ruin to the next. A lot of it seems sort of unrelated, leading some Minecraft fans to call it the "random stuff update."

One more thing added in the most receive update is the new display entity command that lets you create interesting visual effects in Minecraft's sky. One such effect can make an oddly straight rainbow, but it'll take a few lines of code and a resource pack to recreate.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when...

Mortal Kombat 11 Fans Discover Hidden Voice Line Four Years After Launch

Mortal Kombat 11 will be four years old in April, and fans are still making new discoveries. The latest is one that was teased by NetherRealm Studios senior designer Aaron Davis back in 2020, three years ago, and as it turns out, he was hinting at a hidden voice line. "For people who like hidden stuff in MK Game s, there's something in MK11 I put in that hasn't been found yet from what I can tell," Davis tweeted (as reported by Euro Game r). "Only hint I'll give is it's done inside a match and it's been there since day 1, so not DLC related." RELATED: Marvel’s Midnight Suns' Abbey Is The Perfect Mix Of Hades And Mortal Kombat YouTuber Waz, on February 19, revealed that, after four years, the mystery had finally been cracked, and it's an old-school style easter egg.
