Even with all the best tips and tricks, it takes a lot of work to find a horse in Minecraft. Once you do, no doubt you will want to tame them, put on a saddle, or maybe even breed them to have an entire stable of steeds. But if you don't have all the tools to do that when you do find a horse, you will need an easy way to bring them back to your house. A lead lets you, well, lead an animal wherever you want. Here's how to make one.
The ingredients for a lead aren't too difficult to come by. The most challenging will probably be slime balls, which are dropped by slimes. These mostly spawn near swamps and are very easy to take down. Once you have the required tools, here's how to craft a lead:
Step 1: Open your Crafting Table.
Step 2: Place one string each in the top and middle square in the left column.
Step 3: Place one string into the top square in the middle column.
Step 4: Place one slimeball into the middle square in the middle column.
Step 5: Place one string into the bottom square in the right column.
Step 6: Drag the resulting two leads down into your inventory.
Once you have the lead, just equip it and use it on the horse (or other passive mob) to attach the rope to it. You can then pull it along behind you or tie it to a fence to keep it from running away while you do something else.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
