Minecraft players have new challenges and rewards to explore. Graeme McCormick shares some exciting tips for those seeking rare blocks in the game. These challenges take players on thrilling adventures deep into Minecraft's diverse biomes.
First, players can hunt for the Deep Slate Emerald Ore. This block is found in the mountain regions below Y level zero. It's a rare find and requires the right tools. Players must use a silk touch pickaxe to successfully mine and obtain the block itself. This block can make players rich in the game, adding a valuable collectable to their inventory.
Next, a powerful block awaits those brave enough to enter the nether fortress. Players need to defeat wither skeletons to gather their skulls. With three skulls, they can form a T-shaped soul sand structure. Placing the skulls on top of this structure summons the Wither. Defeating the Wither rewards players with a Nether Star. By combining this star with three obsidian and five glass, players can create a Beacon. The Beacon provides nearby players with boosts in strength, speed, or jump height.
Another rare block appears only once per world, or twice in Bedrock. To obtain it, players must face and defeat the Ender Dragon. After the dragon is defeated, the block spawns on top of the end portal. This block, known as the Ender Dragon Egg, can be a prized trophy for any player. Bringing this block home marks a significant achievement in the game.
These challenges offer Minecraft players a chance to test their skills and gain unique rewards. Each task requires different strategies and tools, ensuring a varied and engaging experience. Players who embark on these quests will not only collect rare blocks but also enjoy the thrill of adventure and discovery.
