14 лучших лайфхаков в Minecraft для выживания. Можно стать невидимым!
Креативной выживалке Minecraft от Маркуса Перссона, также известного как Notch, уже перевалило за десять лет. Начавшись как простой побочный проект, она быстро превратилась в многомиллионного монстра, проникшего уже практически во все сферы медиа.
Популярность игры не угасает. Помимо выхода игры практически на всех платформах, по Майнкрафту есть книги, игрушки, и даже снимается мультсериал. Не говоря уже об action-RPG спин-оффе Minecraft Dungeons.
В чем секрет Minecraft?
Если вдруг кто не знает – в мире Minecraft игрок может использовать практически все мыслимые материалы для создания великолепных сложнейших сооружений, гаджетов и даже целых миров.
А в режиме выживания свою творческую энергию вам предстоит направить на защиту от разнообразных монстров. В процессе поиска еды и строительства убежища нужно победить этих тварей или спрятаться от них.
На первый взгляд, эта игра не имеет какой-либо цели и смысла – мы просто строим дома, убиваем мобов и ищем еду. Но для хардкорных игроков есть огромное количество секретных механизмов, магии, монстров и даже целых измерений, само исследование которых может принести огромное удовольствие.
Не обошлось и без маленьких хитростей, о существовании которых вы могли даже не подозревать. Вот 14 наиболее интересных из них. Что же может сделать в Майнкрафте подготовленный игрок?
1. Стать невидимым для Эндерменов
Эндермены – таинственные долговязые монстры, которые бродят по миру Майнкрафта, время от времени передвигая блоки. Зачем – известно лишь им самим.
Они совершенно безвредны, если на них не нападать самому или не смотреть им прямо в глаза. Тогда они превращаются в жутких тварей, неотступно преследующих игрока.
К счастью, случайного контакта глазами можно избежать – наденьте на голову тыкву. Ваше поле зрения будет ограничено «глазами» хэллоуиновского фонаря, но зато теперь можно не бояться смотреть на Эндерменов.
Как показано в ролике выше (0:47), игрок может положить на землю блок материала и сразу поставить рядом с ним кровать. Все, что остается после этого – встать так, чтобы блок располагался между персонажем и ножкой кровати, приблизиться вплотную к блоку и попытаться лечь спать в кровать.
3. Проходить сквозь стены на лодке
За более чем десятилетнюю историю игроки узнали огромное количество маленьких хитростей физики Minecraft, о которых ее создатель даже не подозревал. Одна из наиболее полезных среди них – можно воспользоваться простой лодкой, чтобы проходить сквозь стены.
«Проходить» – не вполне корректное слово, но результат абсолютно такой же. Все, что требуется от игрока – поставить лодку перед стеной и нежно толкнуть ее в сторону блоков, пока она не войдет в них наполовину.
Теперь можно войти в лодку и сразу же выйти. Выход из лодки всегда происходит спереди, поэтому вы окажетесь по другую сторону стены.
Отличный способ, чтобы быстро сбежать или пробраться в здание в PvP-играх на выживание, но имейте в виду – это работает только в одном направлении. Пройдя через стену, вы не сможете вернуться сквозь нее обратно.
4. Подоить грибную корову
Но еще у этих животных есть редкие собратья – грибные коровы. Это красно-белые животные с грибами на стене, выглядящие как жертва неудачного эксперимента.
Каждую из них можно подоить, как обычную корову, но у них есть особая фишка. Если вместо стеклянной бутылки использовать деревянную миску, то вместо молока вы получите грибной суп. Практически неограниченный источник еды.
5. Построить автоматическую птицефабрику
В отличие от свободного творческого режима, в режиме выживания игрок должен постоянно искать еду, чтобы остаться в живых. Если уровень сытости упадет слишком низко, восстановление здоровья прекращается. При дальнейшем падении игрок теряет способность к ускорению. А если уровень близок к нулю, он получает урон.
Именно поэтому найти стабильный и надежный источник пищи так важно. Кто-то выращивает растения, кто-то охотится. Но самые умные игроки нашли способы создать бесконечные источники пищи.
Пользователь YouTube TheBeached Hippo построил настоящую «птицефабрику», которая производит кур, забивает и готовит их, а затем с водой вымывает приготовленную курицу и перья игроку. Сложнее, чем выращивать пшеницу, но гораздо интереснее.
6. Ловить игроков при помощи льда и песка душ
В мультиплеере режима выживания у вас есть возможность исследовать, строить, творить и собственно выживать вместе или грабить и убивать друг друга все более и более изобретательными и смертоносными средствами.
Существует огромное количество схем сложных ловушек с красным камнем, поршнями и прочими ухищрениями. Но один их наиболее простых и эффективных методов – использовать лед и песок душ. Принцип действия основан на том, что при передвижении по песку душ скорость замедляется.
Мало кто знает, что если расположить под блоком песка душ блок льда, этот эффект будет усилен. И даже при ускорении персонаж будет двигаться со скоростью улитки. Можно еще добавить паутины, как в ролике выше.
7. Создавать командные блоки
Командные блоки – одна из наиболее интересных фишек Майнкрафта. Как ясно из названия, они реализуют команды, исполняемые при подключении источника красного камня, и позволяют выполнять в игре различные программируемые действия.
Казуальные игроки о них даже не знают – для их получения нужно ввести консольную команду /give @s command_block в творческом или мультиплеерном режиме, либо использовать читы в одиночном режиме выживания. В дальнейшем работа с блоком осуществляется через собственный интерфейс.
В сочетании с устройствами из красного камня они позволяют выполнять огромное разнообразие задач. Но для полного раскрытия их потенциала требуется определенный уровень владения программированием и логикой. Вместе с довольно трудоемким процессом получения это ограничивает круг применения исключительно хардкорными игроками.
8. Создавать невидимые блоки
Не стоит путать их с прозрачными блоками из стекла или льда. Вы можете создавать совершенно невидимые блоки. Они доступны только в творческом режиме и только через интерфейс командной строки. Для получения таких блоков, называемых «барьерами» просто введите команду /give minecraft:barrier.
Они появятся в инвентаре игрока в виде перечеркнутого красного квадрата и за исключением ряда моментов работают как все остальные блоки. Их нельзя передвигать поршнями, а также ломать при переходе в режим выживания.
Однако, благодаря своей невидимости они прекрасно подходят для ловушек. Враждебных мобов сдерживают ничуть не хуже, чем обычные твердые блоки.
9. Сделать графику черно-белой или перевернуть экран
Во многих классических видеоиграх есть забавные «пасхалки», позволяющие игрокам дурачиться с графикой. Minecraft – тоже не исключение. Нажав в меню параметров кнопку Super Secret Settings, можно получить доступ к одному из 25 шейдеров.
Выбор шейдера происходит случайным образом. Некоторые из них меняют графику практически незаметно. Но есть и совершенно прекрасные в своем безумии.
Например, один переводит графику в черно-белый режим, напоминая карандашный рисунок. А еще один переворачивает экран, и все действо происходит вверх ногами.
К сожалению, в версии 1.9 эта функция была убрана, но если вы пользуетесь более ранними, то доступ к графическому безумию у вас останется.
10. Создавать под водой воздушные «карманы»
Пожалуй, в Minecraft нет ничего страшнее, чем застрять в воде, когда течение вас уносит, а уровень кислорода медленно падает, доводя до удушения. К счастью, этого можно избежать.
Многие игроки этого не знают, но факелы, двери, лестницы и знаки можно располагать под водой таким образом, чтобы вокруг них возникали спасительные воздушные «карманы» для пополнения запасов кислорода.
Более того, такие карманы связываются друг с другом подобно заборам. То есть игрок может строить под водой целые проходы. Это не просто здорово, но и полезно – удобный и практичный способ создавать тоннели между базами или домами, укрытые от неподготовленного взгляда.
11. Удерживать на факелах почти любой вес
Факелы способны не только создавать спасительные пузыри воздуха под водой. Они могут выдержать практически любой вес.
Если вы поместите факел на стене или полу, над ним можно расположить блоки любых видов в любых количествах, будь то песок, грязь, дерево, сталь или что-то еще. Факел выдержит независимо от количества блоков.
На первый взгляд это почти бессмысленная фишка. Но она может быть очень полезной при строительстве сооружений из материалов, которые под действием гравитации падают – например, песка.
Более того, это обеспечивает для таких сооружений способ быстрого разрушения. Он может оказаться полезным, если вы попали в засаду на собственной базе и хотите быстро убежать.
12. Лечить деревенских жителей-зомби
Зомби – одни из самых раздражающих врагов в игре. Медленные, но неотступные, они отравляют вас при укусе, нанося урон на протяжении долгого времени после того, как вы их убьете.
Деревенских жителей можно найти в случайно сгенерированных поселках на карте, они нейтральны и периодически торгуют полезными товарами.
Иногда их могут превратить в зомби, но в отличие от обычных зомби их можно вылечить. Для этого вам потребуется Взрывающееся зелье слабости и Золотое яблоко. Бросьте зелье в пораженного деревенского жителя, а затем примените к нему яблоко. В течение пяти минут он вернется к своему прежнему виду.
13. Создать бесконечный источник воды
Этот совет – вершина принципа «скучно, но практично». Все, что вам потребуется – уже имеющийся источник воды, ведро и яма в земле.
Как и в некоторых примерах выше, здесь также используются странности физики Minecraft. Все, что требуется от игрока – вырыть в земле яму на три блока в длину, один в ширину и один в глубину. Затем вылейте воду в блоки слева и справа от центрального, а последнее ведро вылейте в центральный.
Есть также вариант с размером 2х2, он тоже представлен в ролике выше. Элементарный прием, но очень полезный, особенно если вы занимаетесь зельеварением. Вода – база всех зелий, поэтому неограниченный источник станет отличным подспорьем.
14. Надевать на прирученных собак ошейники
Пожалуй, самая милая фишка в этой подборке. Большинство игроков знает, что некоторых животных в мире игры можно приручать. Прирученные оцелоты становятся кошками, волки – собаками, лошади … тоже лошадьми, но на них можно ездить верхом.
Если у вас есть собака, то цвет ее ошейника можно менять. Все, что для этого нужно – взять одну из 16 красок и применить ее к своему любимцу.
Совершенно бесполезная, но очень приятная возможность. Настолько незаметная, что большинство игроков о ней тоже даже не подозревали.
Совершенству нет предела
Эти лайфхаки – лишь верхушка айсберга. Наверняка истинные фанаты смогут назвать не один десяток подобных тонкостей. Может быть, новые тайны игры ждут именно вас?
Minecraft – живое воплощение принципа «играть легко, но играть хорошо очень сложно», а с каждым новым обновлением здесь появляется множество новых секретов. Главная же прелесть игры в том, что игроки могут углубиться в ее механику настолько, насколько они сами того желают.

Bestiary is crafted with 3 Manuscripts (Shapeless Recipe).
Natural Generation
Bestiary can be found inside chests in Dragon Roosts and Dragon Caves.
Contents
The Bestiary starts with only one chapter: Introduction. The rest of the chapters can be unlocked individually by placing the Bestiary and Manuscripts into Bestiary Lectern. Each chapter costs 3 Manuscripts. In total, you need 78 Manuscripts to be able to unlock every chapter of Bestiary.
To see contents without opening Bestiary, open inventory (E) and hold (SHIFT) while pointing on the Bestiary. Otherwise you can open it by right-clicking while holding it. To switch to another page, click on the arrow on bottom left or right.
A small tattered note clings to the binding of the bestiary. It reads: This manuscript is meant to be a guide to those who like to inform themselves about the great wonders in this supernatural realm. It will cover some basics of designing tools, armour, and weapons to tracking, hunting, and learning about mysterious creatures. The bestiary then goes on to describe supernatural changes in the generation of the world, starting with strange ores. An ore with mystical properties, silver ore can be found in the same layer gold can be found. It can be smelted into ingots which have a variety of uses. Silver weaponry does extra damage to the undead, due to its magical properties. A second magical ore associated with supernatural creatures is the sapphire ore. Sapphire ore is found randomly in snowy biomes. Nuggets of either gold or silver can be stored into placeable piles, like so. The only way to obtain more information about the magical world is to research other writer’s works. This can be done by crafting a bestiary lectern. Once the lectern has been placed, it can be interacted with by right-clicking on it. The inside will have three slots, the leftmost for an input bestiary, the bottom for manuscripts, and the rightmost for the output bestiary. For every manuscript, a new index will appear in the bestiary. These new pages can be information about mythical creatures, different types of peoples, informative crafting guides, and even basic alchemy.
After taking down one of the more monstrous fire dragons I had found in a cavern, I noticed that the beast was guarding its own clutch of eggs. These eggs were a multitude of beautiful colours, all coated with shiny scales. I instantly thought of how much worth these eggs could be sold for, probably even more than many diamonds. However, eggs have one purpose to the dragon themselves: to propagate their own species. Remembering something I had read in some old manuscripts, that dragons have strong maternal instincts and care for their young, I set out to find out how to raise my own brood of dragons. While moving the eggs to a safer location near my home, I noticed that these eggs were much warmer than those of a chicken or other bird. This gave me an idea on how to unlock the secrets of the dragons. I stacked up some wood and netherrack into a large pile and placed the largest of the eggs onto it. Once the egg was atop the pile, I lit the pile afire, and the wood and netherrack around the egg burst into flames. After waiting for around a short time, I could not see any difference with the egg. I thought of removing the egg and looking for another method of hatching the egg, but I remembered that dragons are large beings that require a large amount of energy. Deciding not to be hasty, I let the egg sit on the perpetual fire for three days. My decision was very successful! The dragon’s egg hatched, and I am now in possession of a young dragon. I’ll have to write another entry some other time to describe my experiences with this new friend.
After taking down one of the more monstrous ice dragons I had found in a cavern, I noticed that the beast was guarding its own clutch of eggs. These eggs were a multitude of faded colours, all coated with shiny scales. I instantly thought of how much worth these eggs could be sold for, probably even more than many diamonds. However, eggs have one purpose to the dragon themselves: to propagate their own species. Remembering something I had read in some old manuscripts, that dragons have strong maternal instincts and care for their young, I set out to find out how to raise my own brood of dragons. While moving the eggs to a safer location near my home, I noticed that these eggs were much colder than those of a chicken or other bird. This gave me an idea on how to unlock the secrets of the dragons. I poured some buckets of water into a small pond and placed the largest of the eggs onto it. Once the egg was in the pond, I filled the pond around the egg in order to cool it down. After waiting for around a short time, I could not see any difference with the egg. I thought of removing the egg and looking for another method of hatching the egg, but I remembered that dragons are large beings that require a great amount of time to grow. Deciding not to be hasty, I let the egg sit in the lake for three days. My decision was very successful! The egg formed ice around itself and in a few days hatched! I am now in possession of a young dragon. I’ll have to write another entry some other time to describe my experiences with this new friend.
After you have slain a dragon or come across one’s corpse, one can loot from it by interacting with it. Dragon scales are one of the most common items that can be recovered from dead beasts. They can be crafted into suits of armour, which are very durable. The second most common loot one can receive are dragon bones. Dragon bones are used in many recipes, but are mostly for crafting tools and weapons. These recipes usually involve the use of wither bone instead of sticks. Wither bone can be gathered from black skeletons in the nether. Wither bone can also be made into wither bone shards, which replace flint when making dragon bone arrows. Dragon flesh can also be harvested from dragons. This meat cannot be cooked, and has different effects based on what type of dragon it came from. The fire dragon flesh will smite its eater, and ice dragon flesh can slow its consumer to a halt. All flesh sates as much as cooked beef. Dragon hearts can only be dropped once by each corpse. I currently am not aware of their purpose. Dragon skulls are also only dropped once from bodies. These large bones are used to make command staffs and can be placed on the ground. They can also be put onto banners for a dragon shape. Dragon blood, both fire and ice variants, certainly have very magical properties. However, these properties are certainly elusive, and I must research more into them. It seems that now dragon bones and scales can be safely compacted into large cubes for storage. I predict that consolidating such a large mass of magical presence in a block could have unforeseen uses.
The magical aura of dragon bones and dragon scales definitely has some powerful properties, as is well known. When combined with stone, they become indestructible to dragon frost and flame. It appears there are several constructs that can be made with dragonforge bricks. It is also known that there are ice dragon variants as well. Once you have acquired a dragon forge core, a dragon forge input, 8 dragon bone blocks, and 17 dragon forge bricks, you can construct the dragon forge itself. There are 3 layers. Construct the forge by placing first layer, then a second layer on top of first layer, then a third layer above second layer. Once the forge is complete, it will need some sort of power. In order to power the forge, dragon’s breath is required. This can be achieved either by building the structure close to a tame dragon, or capturing a wild dragon using chains. Chains can be created to capture wild dragons and any other monster. They can be tied to the walls. Dragons will destroy most walls, like cobblestone walls, so those who wish to power their furnace with a dragon need dragon bone wall. To properly power a forge, one must place the chained or tame dragon directly in front of the aperture. Then the dragon will begin to breathe flame or frost as long as there are valid items in the forge. Most items, when placed in a forge, will be turned to ash or dragon ice respectively. But placing an iron ingot and dragon blood (fire blood for fire forges, ice blood for ice forges) will result in a powerful alchemical metal. The result is a metal known as dragonsteel. Dragonsteel is one of the strongest and most versatile materials known to man. It can be made into tools, armour, and dragon armour. Keep in mind that dragon forges can be constructed with ice dragons in mind, to create Ice dragonsteel using the sheer cold of their frost breath. Fire dragonsteel sets attackers aflame for up to 15 seconds and deals a large amount of knockback. Ice dragonsteel freezes target into a giant block of ice. Both types of dragonsteel deal high amounts of damage and can easily dispatch a large dragon. Dragonsteel armour also provides increased protection against dragon breath attacks.
So the legends are true. Such beasts such as the one this entry focuses on do exist. Very well. I shall try as well as I can describe such a beast and its activities. The appearance of the beast is obviously reptilian. However, it is much larger than the average reptile; Individuals I have seen range from the size of a pig to 25 blocks! There are even rumours of larger dragons, sleeping in ancient crypts under the earth. Another notable feature they possess is the ability of flight. This is indicated by the development of large wings, used in aviation. Although the beasts seem sluggish at first, they can lift off and fly swiftly after prey. Perhaps the most dangerous aspect about them is their ability to produce fire from their mouths. They use this power to cook their prey alive. Male fire dragons have patterned wings and collect more valuable loot, whereas females have curved horns. Simply creating fire is not the only way fire dragons dispatch their prey. They also have many attacks. The dragon’s fire blast attack fires a steady steam of flames from the beast’s mouth. Younger dragons are less effective in this attack, while larger ones can scorch nearby terrain, inflicting massive amounts of damage. The fire blast isn’t the only elemental attack. The dragon can also build up a blast of flames into a solidified block. This explosive fireball is then thrown towards the dragon’s prey. Only older dragons are capable of this attack. One of the most common fire dragon attacks is the dragon’s bite. This is the main attack of the fire dragon. It is powerful, and quick, but is not usually instantly deadly. However, the dragon has a rarer melee attack: shaking its prey to death. In this attack, the dragon picks up its target in its mouth, and rapidly shakes it in order to severely injure its prey. The dragon also has a final melee attack, in which it builds up a kinetic force in its tail to slam into its target. This attack is very effective, but it takes a while to build up. They can also beat their wings to push prey back. Taking down a dragon of any stage is not a very easy task. Since fire dragons use elemental ranged attacks, it would be smart thinking to use protective potions and long range weaponry. If you want to take down one of these beasts, try and avoid flames, and watch for charge up behaviour for many attacks. Once you’ve defeated one, you will have access to some valuable commodities. Another thing one should note about fire dragons is their different life stages. Each stage in a dragon’s life means different changes to their behaviour and attacks. In the earliest stage, the dragon is unable to spout flames and is limited to biting attacks. Once it is in its second stage, it can breathe weak flames and do mild amounts of damage. The most notable development of the third stage is the gaining of the fire charge attack, which can deal large amounts of damage. Stage 3 dragons are also the most common type of dragons found in nature. Whereas stage 3 was the dragon’s final teenage form, stage 4 is when a dragon is mature adult, capable of creating eggs. Stage 4 is generally more powerful and cannot be found in roosts. They occupy large caverns beneath the earth’s surface. Stage 5 produces a truly terrifying animal. They follow all the other rules of a stage 4 dragon, except much more powerful and deadly. They are incredibly rare, and it is unheard of for a single soul to defeat one. Both 4’s and 5’s can make deafening roars that instil fear in their prey.

They follow all the other rules of a stage 4 dragon, except much more powerful and deadly. They are incredibly rare, and it is unheard of for a single soul to defeat one. Both 4’s and 5’s can make deafening roars that instil fear in their prey.
After hatching my very own dragon, I realize that the creature favoured me as its parent. This creature wandered about aimlessly, however, it usually stayed in my general area. Since dragons are animals, they must require food, so I brought in a rabbit. First, the dragon was reluctant to take any action, but it soon tried to bite the rabbit. The feeble little dragon was barely able to take down the rabbit, so I decided to feed the beast in a differently. I threw down a slab of mutton, and the dragon quickly raced towards it and consumed it. Dragons are ancient creatures, and it must take a while for them to mature. However, I devised a plan to spur my dragon’s growth faster. I did this by crafting dragon meal. This mix of bone and protein can be made with any meat. By feeding this to my dragon I was able to make it grow rapidly. I noticed that I could interact with my dragon to check its progress. I can see how old it is, tell its gender, and see how hungry it is. Placing a dragon skull atop a stick has an interesting effect on a tamed dragon. By using it on a dragon, you can make the beast stay or wander. By sneaking and interacting with a dragon that is over stage 2, one can mount the dragon and proceed to ride it in the manner of a horse. By jumping, one can make a dragon take off and fly. The beast can be made to descend its flight by sneaking. A dragon can breathe fire by the pressing of a certain command, which is different for many people. Adult dragons can be bred by feeding them a mixture of elemental items, but first these items must be gathered. Fire lilies and frost lilies are used to make fire mixture and frost mixture, respectively. This mixture can be used to breed two tamed dragons. By interacting with a female dragon will result in the two breeding. Once the dragons have finished mating, the female will lay a single egg, of any color. Dragon horns can be used to summon and desummon dragons. Once can desummon a dragon by interacting with it with the horn, and blowing a horn can summon one. Armour for dragons can also be crafted. It is most commonly made from iron, gold and diamond. Dragon armour is made in the same shape of normal armour, except it uses blocks instead of ingots. One can also skilfully craft a dragon bone flute out of iron and dragon bone. This instrument can calm a tame flying dragon and bring it towards the ground. These flutes are also effective on other flying tamed creatures, like hippogryphs and amphitheres.
After harvesting dragon blood by using a glass bottle on a dragon’s corpse, I finally figured out how to use it effectively as a weapon. By combining either fire or ice blood with a dragon bone sword, I was able to infuse the two and make them into potent weapons to the opposite dragon. Fire infused swords ignite their target into flames, and do extra damage against ice dragons. Ice infused swords slow down their target, and do extra damage to fire dragons. Both swords also have large knockback effects. Dragon blood can also be used to preserve dragons. When combined with a diamond, ender pearl, and an emerald or a sapphire, one can create a summoning crystal. When right-clicked on a dragon, the crystal is bound to it. When clicked anywhere again while in the same dimension, the crystal will teleport and unbound the dragon. If the dragon is slain or somehow not located, the crystal will not unbind. To unbind the crystal manually, place it in the crafting grid by itself.
A hippogryph is a strange creature which appears to have the front of a bird and the hind of a horse. They are found in many diverse locations all across the world. Yet it seems they are attracted to hilly biomes no matter the local climate. This means that these creatures come in a dazzling array of different colours and patterns. Most hippogryphs are predators and will attack nearby nearly any creature smaller than themselves, including people. Yet some have found a way to tame these hostile creatures, and are able to harness their great speed and aerial ability. One way of doing so is by taking advantage of the hippogryph’s favourite food — rabbits. By dropping many rabbit feet near a hippogryph you might earn its trust. Once the beast has feasted on some rabbit feet, it will lay down and show submissiveness. The owner can now sneak and interact with the animal at the same time to apply a saddle, armour or even a storage chest. A simple stick can be used to command the hippogryph to either sit or to wander. It is recommended that a hippogryph is mounted when in wander mode. Hippogryph armour can be made as shown above. Finally, one can breed two hippogryphs by feeding both of the animals rabbit stew. Be careful when housing hippogryphs, as they can fly vast distances.
DO NOT LOOK AT HER EYES. The gorgon is a hideous creature that appears to be half woman, half snake. These monstrous abominations are one of the most dangerous beings in the world, capable of turning anything that looks into their eyes to stone. Luckily for most living things, the gorgons are locked deep beneath ancient stone temples. These temples can be found on many shorelines throughout the world. Said temples have locked, hidden trapdoors that can be opened by moving the correct hidden switches inside the building. Once the door is opened, the adventurer can enter the gorgon’s lair. One way to best this monster is by creating a blindfold. The beast can then not turn you to stone, but this still leaves it with a venomous bite. Once the monster is defeated, the brave soul who killed it can harvest the creature’s head from its body. This head can then harness the immense power of the gorgon to turn whatever gazes at it to stone. Simply hold up the severed head and point it at any creature you would like to turn to stone. Anything turned to stone can be mine with a pickaxe and will drop only cobblestone, unless a pickaxe with silk touch is used on the statue, in which case it will drop a stone statue just like itself. Be careful, as the gorgon’s head can be only be used once!
Woe to those who explore the expanses of the world’s beaches, for a beast taller than a dragon lurks in the sea-side caves. The Cyclops is a monstrous beast with a single eye. Although it is fearsome to nearly all living things, Cyclopes make skilled shepherds. Cyclopes can often be found guarding decent sized flocks of sheep. Most Cyclopes make their homes from dug-out sea caves on the shore. Inside these caves lay both remnants of the Cyclopes’ last meals and significant treasures, aside from sheep. Cyclopes are very vigilant creatures, able to see potential prey and threats from afar. However, due to them having only one eye, this ability can be severely dampened. By taking an arrow and aiming it right at the beast’s eye, they can potentially blind the monster. A blinded Cyclops has greatly reduced perception of its environment. One can then be much closer to the Cyclops without being detected. Another way to avoid the Cyclops’ gaze would be to disguise one-self as a sheep. This can be done by crafting the sheep disguise armour. Wearing the full set of armour and sneaking makes one practically invisible to the Cyclops. All of these precautions should be taken when dealing with such a strong creature, as one bite from a Cyclopes is enough to decapitate!
An elusive, fast and beautiful creature can be rarely found in Oceans. The Hippocampus appears to be a strange mixture of animals with both equine and piscine traits. Exceptionally fast when submerged, no known creature can keep up with the hippocampus underwater. However, it’s abilities on dry land are extremely weakened. The hippocampus is a very passive creature and will never attack any other being, even to save its own life. Hippocampi are colorful and diverse creatures, and appear in many colors. It can be noticed that hippocampi have an affinity to sponges and to prismarine crystals. The beasts will follow around those who hold these items. If the kelp is fed to the hippocampus, it may begin to trust the person. If prismarine crystals are fed to two separate hippocampi, they will procreate and spawn an offspring. Once a hippocampi is tamed, a saddle can be placed on the beast and it can be ridden. Horse armor and a chest can also be equipped, in order to provide protection and allow the animal to carry items, respectively. Riding a hippocampi is similar to riding flying creatures, except the hippocampi is aquatic instead. Slow on land yet extremely quick in the sea, it is a perfect mount for maritimers, explorers, and pirates. Some myths even state that riding one will allow its owner to breathe underwater! Hippocampi can be made to sit by interacting with them whilst holding a stick. If killed, a hippocampi drops shiny scales. These shiny scales, when mixed with a water bottle in a brewing stand, can be turned into a potion of water breathing.
The half-lizard, half-fowl appearance of the cockatrice might not be as terrifying as that of a troll or deathworm, but that does not make it less deadly. This beast can prove to be a formidable enemy to those who encounter it whilst wandering the savannas of the world. Although the cockatrice can strike prey with its sharpened beak, or slice with its talons, the beast possesses a far stronger weapon: its vision. If one’s eyes lock these of the cockatrice, their soul will start to wither away. The cockatrice can kill prey very quickly simply by gazing at it. In order to protect from this attack, potential slayers of cockatrices may want to craft protection in the form of a blindfold. If either the cockatrice or its prey is blinded, it will be forced to use its weaker melee attacks. Cockatrices can be a good supply of wither bones, of which they drop on death. Although they inhabit savannas by nature, there are other ways for cockatrices to appear in the world. Very rarely, a chicken can lay a rotten egg. These eggs are of little value to a farmer as they cannot be prepared in food. However, when thrown there is a very rare chance to spawn a baby cockatrice. These cockatrice chicks imprint on the thrower of the egg and will serve them for life. A tame cockatrice can be made to sit, follow or patrol by interacting with it with an open palm. Feeding the creature seeds will heal it. They can also eat rotten flesh off of the ground. Tamed cockatrices will also fight to the death to protect their owner. Wild, hostile cockatrices can also be tamed, albeit in a more dangerous manner. By continuously staring at the beast, it can be broken and made to serve its better. The best method to do this would be to trap the creature, then look at it for short periods so the capturer’s soul does not wither away. Cockatrices will naturally protect any chickens in their general area. If any being targets a nearby chicken, with the exception of the cockatrice’s possible owner, they will immediately attack. A cockatrice’s greatest enemy is any weasel-like creature. These small animals could easily kill a cockatrice with just a few bites.
