To use the full-scale mixed reality mode, players will need a warehouse or flat outdoor space. It is best to turn on the developer mode at the same time to turn off the safety boundary function of the headset (normally only supports a maximum space of 15×15 meters).

YouTube star Brandon Ballinger (AwakenToast) tried this model with his Quest 3, showing us the huge and untapped potential of outdoor mixed reality gaming.

Ballinger started by digging a virtual hole in the physical ground and marveled at the “sense of depth” he felt when looking down. Throughout the video, he can be seen carefully avoiding falling into the virtual holes he dug, walking around them despite the fact that they don’t exist.

He went on to build a virtual house that stayed in place even as he moved around the large meadow, showing that the Quest 3’s positional tracking system had very little drift even at this scale.

When he added the ceiling to the house, it became clear how blurred the lines between virtual reality and mixed reality are. It feels truly amazing to see your only perspective of the real world through an empty doorway.

It is noticed that Quest 3 currently lacks the dynamic occlusion function (it is still in the experimental stage and cannot be used in applications). In the video, you can see that when Ballinger walks in front of the tree, the virtual items are still rendered in front of the tree. Even more incongruously, when he shows up with the kids at the end of the video, they’re supposed to be in his virtual house, but they’re only visible through the doorway, as if they’re half buried underground.

There may soon be a wave of outdoor mixed reality games where people can take the headsets to the park to play games and create creations. It seems that we are not far away from the “Pokemon GO moment” of mixed reality headsets.

“As we approach our 15th anniversary, Minecraft remains one of the best-selling games of all time, with more than 300 million copies sold,” Helen Chiang said in a statement. Milestones you couldn’t have imagined the first time you placed the blocks.”

It is noticed that at Minecraft Live 2023, there is also an interesting voting session that allows players to vote on which new creatures should be added to the game. This year, crabs, armadillos, and penguins can be chosen.

300 million copies of Minecraft is a sizable number, surpassing sales of almost every other entertainment medium. For comparison, the best-selling album in history “Thriller” has sold about 70 million copies, the best-selling game console PS2 has sold about 155 million units, and even the second-best-selling video game “Grand Theft Auto V” is far behind. On “Minecraft”, only 185 million copies were sold. Minecraft is a unique game and will probably hold this record for a long time.

It is learned from the official that the DLC will provide a new set of mechanisms, including a career system, statistics and dice-based combat, aiming to provide a true Dungeons and Dragons experience.

The DLC will not only offer new locations and monsters, but also introduce a more complex and refined soundtrack that will dynamically change as players explore different environments.

It’s important to note that this DLC isn’t intended to turn Minecraft into a Dungeons & Dragons simulator, but rather to provide players with key elements that will allow them to shape their own Dungeons & Dragons experience within the game.

“The highlights of Dungeons & Dragons are combat, exploration, and role-playing, so we’re trying to blend those elements in a satisfying way,” Mojang senior producer Riccardo Lenzi told Polygon.

At present, only the name of this DLC and the official promotional image has been exposed. It is not clear what game content and modes the DLC will introduce.

The DLC may be a texture and skin pack that changes the appearance of Minecraft and its models.

As Sonic the Hedgehog celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2021, it has teamed up with Microsoft’s Mojang feature studio to release a Sonic the Hedgehog DLC for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

After McAfee reported the findings to Google, it removed the problematic games. The number of downloads of the main counterfeit apps attached is as follows:

 Block Box Master Diamond – Over 10 million downloads

 Craft Sword Mini Fun – Over 5 million downloads

 Block Box Skyland Sword – 5 million+ downloads

 Craft Monster Crazy Sword – 5 million+ downloads

 Block Pro Forrest Diamond – Over 1 Million Downloads

 Block Game Skyland Forrest – 1 million+ downloads

 Block Rainbow Sword Dragon – 1 million+ downloads

 Craft Rainbow Mini Builder – 1 million+ downloads

 Block Forrest Tree Crazy – 1 million+ downloads

After players launch these copycat “Minecraft” mobile games, the advertisement will be loaded, but the screen content will not be displayed. McAfee reported that initial network packets for several applications had a similar structure, using “3.txt” as a path of the form “https://(random).netlify.app/3.txt”.

While loading ads is a relatively low threat among malicious apps, it can slow down the performance of mobile devices, raise privacy concerns, and may even create security holes that expose users to more serious infections.

Minecraft’s open environment is great for technical challenges, but there are many different ways to complete a task in the game. For example, if you want to build a car in “Minecraft”, there are countless ways to build it according to the resources at hand. So a vague expression like this is not as clear as “build a car out of stones”.

The technology could make Minecraft more accessible to people with disabilities who can’t control the game in traditional ways. According to sources, Microsoft has no plans to use AI technology in the public version of “Minecraft”. Large companies often have a lot of internal black technology that has never been released to the public. At present, the difference between this technology and somatosensory control and voice command technology does not seem to be very great. But if the AI technology explodes further, the way of playing games in the future may undergo earth-shaking changes.
