Tip number 1 in Minecraft is almost always going to be making a Crafting Table. These let you make all the essential items from beds to blast furnaces and flower pots. But there’s another type of crafting tool you can use to make and repair enchanted weapons and armor. We will show you how to make an anvil in Minecraft so you can craft the cool items that simply can’t be done in the Crafting and Enchanting Tables.
Anvils are massive slabs of metal so it makes sense that it will take a ton of iron to make one. The only two ingredients here are iron blocks and ingots, so get digging for that iron. Once you have the materials, here's how to craft the anvil:
Step 1: Open your Crafting Table.
Step 2: Place one block of iron each into all three squares in the top row.
Step 3: Place one iron ingot into the center square in the middle row.
Step 4: Place one iron ingot each into all three squares in the bottom row.
Step 5: Drag the resulting anvil down into your inventory.
Anvils can be used to repair all your weapons and equipment, add enchantments, and name your items. Be aware that doing anything with your anvil will cost some XP.
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
