Forecasting the Future of Minecraft Weather
There are many ways that the world of Minecraft is different from the real world, including seasons and weather. Many players in the community have expressed a desire to have more realistic weather in Minecraft, but so far we only have rain, storms, and snow. Could we see new weather and seasons in Minecraft’s forecast? Let’s find out in this episode of Dig Straight Down!

Aiming for the Moon
On November 8, 2019, the official Minecraft YouTube channel released a video called Ask Mojang #4: To the Moon. When asked what biome they would choose to add to the game, Senior Game Designer Jason Rice answered: “The Moon. Low Gravity. Spacey monsters on it.” Is this a hint at what might come in the future of Minecraft? What would we possibly find in a Moon Update? Let’s find out in this episode of Dig Straight Down!

A Bane for Your Arthropods
Minecraft’s hostile mobs can be divided into categories, and we as players have enchantments for our weapons that are specific to some of these categories. There is Smite for the Undead, Impaling for water creatures, and Bane of Arthropods for the arthropods. But why exactly is Bane of Arthropods often looked down upon, and what can be done to make it a sought after enchantment? Let’s find out in this episode of Dig Straight Down!

Who's the Boss?
What’s your favorite thing to do in Minecraft? For me, it’s fighting Mobs. Which I guess is strange because Minecraft really isn’t a combat focused game, but anyway. If you’re like me, eventually your basic Undead horde becomes too easy and you begin itching for a new challenge. So you defeat the Wither and you free the End from the tyranny of the Ender Dragon… but what next? Could there be another boss in the future of Minecraft? Let’s take a look at what makes a boss a boss in this episode of Dig Straight Down!

To Netherite and Beyond...
The story of Minecraft has turned a new page, and an entire dimension has evolved. With this change comes a new and highly sought after resource. Ancient Debris lies in sparse pockets in the Nether, waiting to be mined, smelted, and combined with gold to create Netherite, a material that has knocked diamond off the throne of Minecraft. But has Netherite also opened up a Pandora’s Box of possible new tiers of materials? Let’s go to Netherite and Beyond in this episode of Dig Straight Down!
