Evokers aren’t easy foes to tangle with. Appearing on upper floors of woodland mansions only, you’ll likely hear them before you see them – their spells are telegraphed with a shimmering sound. Learn all there is to know about this powerful illager in this guide!

In the imposing woodland mansions of the dark forests of the Overworld, and in the service of the Arch-Illager in Minecraft Dungeons, you’ll find a spell-casting fanatic who loves nothing more than to ruin your day. It’s the evoker, and it’s our illager mob of the month!

Evokers began appearing in Minecraft in November 2016, following the release of the Exploration Update, which also added shulker boxes, exploration maps, and totems of undying. They were also a part of the Minecraft Dungeons experience from its launch in May 2020.

An evoker putting a crown on the Arch-Illagers head, as they sit on a throne.Evokers aren’t easy foes to tangle with. Appearing on upper floors of woodland mansions only, you’ll likely hear them before you see them – their spells are telegraphed with a shimmering sound. That sound means danger: one spell will summon fangs to shoot up from the ground, while another will summon pesky vexes that’ll attack you from the air.

Did I mention that evokers are rarely encountered alone? Woodland mansions are also packed with vindicators, who’ll chase you down with their axes while you’re trying to dodge the evoker’s spells. It’s a similar story in the many Minecraft Dungeons missions where you’ll encounter evokers – You’ll need to utilise all your cunning and skill to avoid an untimely end.

“I wanted to force players to move around and not just stand with a shield and wait,” chief creative officer Jens told my erstwhile colleague Marsh in 2017.

Succeed in defeating an evoker and you’ll get a totem of undying – an extremely handy relic that springs into action when you receive fatal damage to grant you a last-minute reprieve. There’s just one catch – you need to hold it in your off-hand, which means you can’t equip it at the same time as a shield.

Oh, and have you ever wondered what evokers do when players aren’t around? Their favourite hobby is to change the color of sheep. True story. An evoker that isn’t in combat and encounters a blue sheep will immediately raise its arms and cast a spell to turn that sheep red instead – a trick, accompanied by a , that older gamers may find familiar.

A photo of an evoker figure standing together with a vex between two stones.In Western mysticism, "evocation" is the act of calling upon spirits, demons, deities, or other supernatural forces. The word comes from the Latin word evocatio, which was a ritual conducted during wartime in ancient Rome that tried to lure the god protecting a city over to the Roman side – usually by promising more followers or a nicer temple. What this meant in practice was that the Romans would have a spiritual excuse for looting the temples and shrines of a conquered city – because they were supposedly going to install them in a much nicer temple later.

In fantasy settings like Dungeons and Dragons, evocation is less about calling upon spirits and more about magic that manipulates raw energy or elemental forces like cold, flame, thunder, lightning or acid. This usually translates into hurling fireballs and lightning bolts around – a useful job for a wizard on a battlefield.

Minecraft’s evokers seem to more closely follow the spirit-summoning tradition than the elemental hurling one – most obviously with the vexes. But also, who knows which creature owns those fangs that erupt from the ground when the evoker raises its arms? We’ll continue to investigate, but in the meantime, if you have any ideas then don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Let's Play Eternal Caves

Explore the depths of Eternal Caves V1.1 by Panascais, a massive Minecraft Marketplace add-on that transforms underground adventures with 22 caves, 550+ blocks and items, and over 60 animals, monsters, and bosses. Discover glowing landscapes, mysterious creatures, useful tools like the Seers Relic, and plenty of new threats waiting to ruin your perfectly innocent spelunking trip. From adorable moonflutters to terrifying bosses and beautiful new environments, Eternal Caves makes Minecraft’s underground bigger, brighter, and considerably more dangerous. Pack your armor, bring supplies, and whatever you do, try not to get hopelessly lost.

Imagine you’re looking at a big lovely slice of cake. “Yummy!” you’re thinking. “I’m not going to share this with anyone!” you’re also thinking, but don’t worry, your selfish secret is safe with us.

Now imagine you bit down into that cake, only to discover that hidden just beneath the icing was zombies, creepers, spiders, and lumps of lava instead of the more traditional chocolate. Ugh!

But come on now, isn’t that exactly what playing Minecraft is like? It looks lovely on the surface, but dig down just a little and you’ll find a sprawling cave network of hostile horrors. At least, unlike cake, Minecraft’s caves don’t give you tooth decay, though we can’t rule that out in future updates.

So it was with some trepidation, then, that we started Eternal Caves V1.1 by Panascaisat Minecraft Marketplace. It massively expands the caves and gives them a glow-up. A literal glow-up, in fact, bringing some very welcome light to the caves! And, well, some far less welcome new monsters. Sigh…

Minecraft player explores a lush underground cave filled with dense vegetation, glowing particles, and unusual creatures.It’s one of the most expansive add-ons we’ve ever featured. 22 caves! 550+ blocks and items! Over 60 animals, monsters, and bosses (sob – when will someone release an add-on that somehow adds fewer bosses?)

It’s not just the new caves that feature all the new stuff either. We immediately dug straight down – don’t try that at home, kids – and plummeted into a vanilla cave, where we made a bunch of non-vanilla new friends. And by ‘new friends’ we actually mean ARGHHHHHH.

Minecraft player confronts a large red-and-black insect-like creature among cacti and sandy blocks in an underground cave.What is that new creature called? Shockingly, we didn’t stick around to ask it. But Eternal Caves fortunately has the perfect tool for cowards like us. It’s called the Seers Relic. When you have it equipped, you can stare at any block or creature in the game and it’ll analyse it for you, complete with cool glowy yellow effect.

Then a little window pops up on the left with some information. Mob name, item name, whether it’s a core Minecraft feature or if it’s new for Eternal Caves, etc. Good news for Minecraft.net writers who didn’t do enough research and had to delete four thousand words from this post about an exciting new block called ‘dirt’ when they realized it wasn’t new at all.

Er, hypothetically.

Minecraft player uses an analyzing tool on a cactus block in a bright sandy desert environment.The seers relic takes a few seconds to work its magic. A few seconds you might not have if what you’re attempting to analyse is currently trying to chew your face off. So we tried a more cautious approach, slowly creeping through the caves.

That would be a lot easier if the caves weren’t famously the favorite hangout spot of countless hostile mobs. And oh goody – this add-on throws in tons of new ones to worry about. If you like being blown up by the creeper then you’ll adore being blown up by the new petrified creeper.

Minecraft player explores a dark cavern illuminated by hanging blue and pink glowing plants and scattered blue vegetation.Why put yourself through such a gloomy gauntlet of hostile horrors? Because ‘gloomy’ is entirely the wrong word. The new caves are beautiful, and the lighting and fog effects in the OG caves are no visual slouch either.

They’ve added some clever ways of getting around the cave's famous darkness problem, too. Glowroot carrots are a tasty health-bar restoring treat and cause you to glow, lighting up the cave around you. Nice! …Wait, does this make it easier for hostile mobs to find us?

Minecraft player encounters a large pale-blue flying creature with translucent wings inside a glowing underground cavern.The moonflutter, a massive pale butterfly with a delightfully derpy face, is probably our favorite of the new mobs, and not just because it’s not trying to hurt us (at time of writing).

But there’s loads of others to find. This is easily the cutest woodlouse we’ve ever seen in a game, which is barely a compliment. The deer are deer-lightful (we got paid to write that – paid in money). And look how cute the pipcap is! LOOK AT IT.

Minecraft Eternal Caves Add-On interface displays information about a red Pipcap creature inside an orange-lit mushroom cave.But stay on your guard. For every lovely feature in these caves, there’s about a dozen more that are more hostile and dangerous than you are after you’ve found out your worst cousin has deleted your Minecraft save.

Case in point, when we found this glowing green rune that was pouring beams of light through the cave, we assumed we’d won a treat! Nope. Runes are what you use to summon boss monsters. Why in the Overworld would we want to… bad rune! Bad!

Minecraft player approaches a glowing green structure surrounded by dense vegetation and a small creature in a vast underground cave.We opted for running in the opposite direction instead. This flawless strategy might have worked if we’d been playing ‘Tiny Caves with Lots of Visible Exits’, the admittedly-rather-dull-sounding add-on that we sadly just made up. But Eternal Caves, true to its name, seem to go on forever.

We found a house in a swamp cave, new rats and bugs scurrying through another cave, and the realisation that we were hopelessly lost when we ended up back in the moonflutter’s lair again. Except, we didn’t find the moonflutter this time. We found a boss. Oh joy.

Minecraft player faces a glowing blue Specter creature surrounded by blue plants in a dark bioluminescent cavern.Wanna see more screenshots? No problem! Oh, except it sent us to the You Died screen with one hit. Rude. Yes, if you are going to take on these caves, we’d recommend good armor, weapons, supplies, torches, and maybe someone competent to do all the fighting for you. Y’know, basically everything we didn’t bring. Learn from our mistakes.

It’ll be worth the effort. Here’s a final taste of some of the new friends (hopefully?) you’ll make down there!

"Wilderness Bound coming September 15" written in blocky letters on an orange background with poplar trees, a campfire, and cushions surrounding itOur expedition into the dappled forest is about to set off, and now it officially has a name: Wilderness Bound! In this game drop, you’ll sleep under the stars, seek out abandoned camps, and ultimately take on the great outdoors with all its beauty and obstacles. Nature has a habit of humbling those who charge in unprepared. Luckily, you've got a little more time to prepare. To help you become a wilderness expert, we've gathered some tips below!

Before you set out

A player standing next to two straw beds on a poplar wood platform built atop poplar trees. In the distance the sun is setting over the dappled forest.Pack your camping supplies, craft some straw beds, and practice your map reading, because you never know how long the journey to the dappled forest could be. This new biome is full of tall poplar trees in fiery colors, so you can’t miss it. Once there, the real exploring begins.

Scout the unfamiliar terrain, parkour across the many shelf mushrooms, and investigate abandoned camps for clues about those who came before. Just remember: getting lost is only an adventure if you eventually find your way back!

Choose your camp wisely

Three players and their cat inside a base with a poplar wood door with a diamond shaped window. The dappled forest is seen through the window.The dappled forest has no shortage of cozy clearings among the poplar trees. Found a spot worth staying in? Time to get building. Gather poplar wood and craft your camp from the ground up, then bring in the expanded concrete and wool sets to make it your own. Whether you're building a simple shelter or a full basecamp, remember that a successful camp is measured not in blocks, but in reasons to stay.

Two players and two tamed wolves in a camp at night in the dappled forest. One is sitting on a cushion by the campfire and the other is using a spyglass. Two strawbeds are in the shelter.Every good expedition has a (usually chaotic) story to tell. Once the day's exploring and building is done, place some cushions around the campfire and share what went down out there – the shortcut that wasn’t, the mushroom parkour ambush, or the heroic rescue mission for someone still back at camp.

Some memories you can plan, but the best ones you usually can't. So start prepping your inventory, plan your campsite, and get ready to discover what adventures await off in Wilderness Bound!

*New features are coming in the future and will require Minecraft: Bedrock Edition or Java Edition (each sold separately). As development is ongoing, the features shown and their descriptions are subject to change. Feedback from the community will help us iterate these features into their final versions.

How goes, Sourdough? Now hear me out - there’s a reason I’m referring to you as naturally fermented bread with a crispy crust. Sourdough was slang during the late 1800s Gold Rush, referring to an experienced miner who had survived at least one winter. And you’ve survived a few weeks of competitive mining in our multiplayer adventure, Treasure Hunt! Hooray!

To celebrate all this furious pickaxing and the unearthing of buried treasures, we’re organizing a watch challenge with exciting rewards! Catch up on some Minecraft content and you can claim a loyal pard* – that is, a pet companion (or two!) – to help you dig!

And if you haven’t tried Treasure Hunt yet? Well, greenhorn**, it’s never been a better time to dig in! We’re challenging you, too, to catch up with some content, and claim a special companion to help you dig. You’ll be racing up to 20 players into the depths of sprawling, ever-shifting mines in pursuit of treasure in no time. The bread and butter of the adventure is mining, while daily challenges, upgrades and abilities keep things fresh. You might not be a sourdough yet, but these mining buddies are sure to help you rise to the challenge!

The watch challenge

There are two platforms you can watch Minecraft content on for the challenge. To earn your in-game content, tune in to the following between September 4 (12:00am PT) and September 13, 2026 (11:59pm PT):

On TikTok, watch Minecraft content on any Game Reward enabled stream for at least 3 minutes while the livestream is live. This nets you the adorable Aqua Cool Fish!

Minecraft Aqua Cool Fish promotional image featuring a blue fish wearing black sunglasses against a bright underwater-themed background.On Twitch, watch any Twitch Partner or Affiliate streaming in the Minecraft category for at least 5 minutes while the livestream is live. This wins you a dazzling Amethyst Drone!

Minecraft Amethyst Drone promotional image featuring a purple-and-green floating drone against a glowing amethyst-themed background.Once you’ve reached the required watch time, you’ll receive a redemption code on the platform where you watched the content. Just head to Minecraft.net/redeem and enter your code to claim your content! Make sure to redeem the code by the end of September 13, 2026 (11:59pm PT). (Just like in Treasure Hunt – you snooze, you lose!)

Go nab those prize rewards - and find Treasure Hunt on your server tab today. Bonanza!***

*A term for miner’s trusted companion or close friend!

**That’s old-time-miner-speak for newcomer

*** A Spanish word adopted by goldminers to celebrate the discovery of a rich vein of ore – and hopefully what you’ll be saying while playing Treasure Hunt!

[MC News] New Realms features in Java snapshot

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 13:00:00 -0200

Great news for Java Realms hosts! Two new features are out now in Java snapshot that make hosting your realm more convenient – and customizable. We’re adding a new way to invite members to your realm and increasing the render limit on Java Realms. Read on for the lowdown!

Invite codes

The Minecraft Java Realms Join Realm screen showing an invite code field and button for joining a realm.To make it easier to bring people to your realm, we’ve introduced invite codes in Java snapshot. As a realm owner, you can now create and manage up to five invite codes at a time that you can distribute as you wish. Players who use your code will automatically be added as realm members – all they have to do is enter the invite code in the Join Realm screen. No longer need the code? You can delete it at any time, or you can set an expiration date when you create it in the first place. Once a code is deleted, the members that joined via that code will remain on your realm; you’ll need to remove them manually if you want to do so.

Adjustable render and simulation distance

Side-by-side comparison of Minecraft render distance settings, showing a wider landscape view with increased distance.Also in Java testing, we raised the upper limit for render distance on realms from 12 chunks to a whopping 25 chunks! Plus, you’ll now have separate sliders for render and simulation distance, so you can fine-tune the settings to your preferences and/or hardware limitations. Now you and your friends can enjoy better views and see those creepers coming from many chunks away!

If there's one thing I learned from my summer internship at the fireworks factory, it's that no celebration is complete without an ostentatious pop of color. Rainbow Eclipse PvP Pack by CubeCraft Games understands that, offering PvP enthusiasts an arsenal of animated swords and armor that pulse and fizz in all the colors of the rainbow. This pack also adds low fire and short swords to ensure your view is unimpeded by roaring flames and screen-filling blades in the midst of battle.

Now if, like me, you go gaga at the sight of goggles, cogs, and zeppelins, Steampunk - Original Textures by The Craft Stars is the stuff of your wildest, coal-fired dreams. This retrofuturistic pack introduces a burst of steampowered flair to Minecraft's textures, and the result is the kind of top-hat-and-pistons vibe that would have had Jules Verne shrieking like a multi-tubular boiler. Probably.

I'll say the same thing to you that I always scream at my waiter: if it's not pastel-colored, I'm not interested. Pastel Adventures by Pathway Studios delivers more than just a pleasing color palette - it also features a custom UI, extra-cute mobs, and 12 unique pastel skins.

Biff. Wam. Kapow. These are three options that I think my parents should have seriously considered rather than giving me a yawnsome name like James. They're also the words I found myself bellowing once I'd applied Cube Chaos by Pathway Studios, a texture pack that evokes the look of classic comic books. Throw on a cape, lace up some sensible footwear, and strike your most heroic pose before playing.

MINI GAMES

As a child, I dreamed of having a treehouse - my own little place, high off the ground, to call my own. Now, thanks to Cherry Bonsai Treehouse by CrackedCubes I have an enormous treetop base that's wreathed in beautiful cherry blossom, decorated with unique textures, and surrounded by a spectacular village. Now I know what you're thinking: did I ever get that real-life treehouse? No I didn't, and I wish you'd stop asking about it.

When I told the producers of a certain very popular, very famous makeover show that I wanted to look cute, they told me "come on mate, we're not miracle-workers". But now, thanks to Cute Cozy House by Heropixel Games, I'm almost not sad about that anymore! Featuring a dreamy home, a luxurious pool, and more cute furniture than you could shake an especially adorable stick at, Cute Cozy House has everything you need to reinvent yourself as a cute icon. No matter what anyone says.

If you're searching for glitz, glamor, and decadence, there's only one place to look: my birthday party. This year, there's going to be two types of jelly! Failing that, Las Vegas is a good second choice, and Cityscapes Las Vegas by Octovon offers the opportunity to sample the city of lights without having to brave the Nevada sun. Explore world-famous landmarks, relax in luxurious resorts, and step inside the kind of swanky hotel that would have me ejected from the lobby in a matter of seconds.

If it wasn't for my aforementioned fear of heights and the fact that the Empire State Building is worth an estimated $3 billion, I'd always thought I'd quite like to live in a skyscraper. City Life by Kora Studios allows me to live out that exact fantasy, all while peering out at a cityscape of sprawling apartment complexes, luxurious penthouses, and sprawling city streets filled with sleek supercars.

Escape rooms are so much fun! Sure, sometimes you might get a little overexcited, desperately rattling the handle of the door while begging the employees to let me you out, please let me you out. But that's all part of the fun! I think! Cursed Woodland Mansion by Pathway Studios is a devilishly clever escape room that takes place in the suitably spooky environment of a woodland mansion. Solve puzzles, unlock doors, and try not to make the staff too uncomfortable when you weepingly beg for them to just open the door.

If there's one thing I find more majestic even than the night sky, when the entire cosmos seems laid out before you, it's that sport where you use a stick to hit a ball into a really small hole. In Space Mini-Golf by Waypoint Studios, you'll discover 100 unique holes ranging from straightforward putts to elaborate tests of your intergalactic golfing prowess. And as if all that wasn't enough, you can even invite your friends to compete for mini-golf supremacy.

My stance has always been this: the only thing that could improve parkour is the addition of warm-blooded reptiles from 230 million years ago. Let's all thank our lucky stars for Mega Prehistoric Parkour by Jigarbov Productions, then, which sees you tackling parkour challenges while playing as a precious little baby dinosaur.

SKIN PACKS

Pink is far and away the cutest color there is: just look at cotton candy, bubblegum, and the tremulous flesh of a shrieking pig as it charges you, unblinking. All. So. Cute. With 10 fashionable skins to choose from, Cute in Pink! by Pixel Squared is yet more proof of the power of pink to make even the grumpiest Gus say "aww".

Meanwhile, Sakura Bliss by Yeggs draws its inspiration from the beautiful yet fleeting cherry blossom. Is it a moving examination of the transience of all things? Or a pack offering 12 blossom-themed skins that look really cool? I just checked and it's the second thing.

When I'm trying to make a difficult decision, I sometimes imagine an angel sitting on one of my shoulders and a devil sitting on the other. Weirdly, both of them agreed that I should rifle through my colleagues' desk drawers in search of "high-value snacks" while they were all out to lunch, so I'm not sure if my conscience is really working the way it's supposed to. Anyway, Angels vs Devils by Pixel Squared is less about the morality of eating unguarded Jaffa Cakes and more about looking heavenly or hellish in 12 stylish skins.

Finally, it's time for a skin pack so frightening that it actually broke my Spookometer when I tried to get a reading. That's devastating news, since a properly calibrated Spookmeter can set you back thousands of dollars. Spooky Season by StudioU offers 13 seriously eerie skins for you to choose from, making it the perfect way to prepare for Halloween.

CHARACTER CREATOR ITEMS

Capping off this bumper month of Marketplace Pass goodies is a rich assortment of Character Creator items. I say 'rich' because they're all made of gold, which is a funny coincidence since I'm currently trying to persuade my editors at Minecraft.net to pay me in 12.4 kilogram bars of bullion. At the time of writing, they remain stubbornly unconvinced.

Dark Gold Sneakers by 57 Digital
Dark Gold Mask by 57 Digital
Dark Gold Armor by 57 Digital
Dark Gold Armor Pants by The Pocalypse Studios
Dark Gold Wings by The Pocalypse Studios
Gold Bracelets by NovaEgg

What a line-up. I don't know about you, but the raw mental exertion of describing it all has left me so weak that I couldn't possibly do another lick of work for at least another calendar month.

Fancy sampling some of these wares for yourself? All you've got to do is sign up to Marketplace Pass to gain access to this cavalcade of add-ons, mini games, textures packs, and more. There's also Realms Plus, which grants access to those Marketplace Pass benefits as well as an always-online server for you and your friends to shape to your liking.

Join us next month for another volcanic eruption of Marketplace goodness, as if the add-ons and mini games and texture packs were superheated magma and ash and pumice. But in a really nice way.

[MC News] Changes to Minecoin for Nintendo

Changes to Minecoin for Nintendo

Changes are coming to Minecoins on Nintendo platforms, starting October 27, 2026. From that date, Minecoins purchased on Nintendo Switch™ and Nintendo Switch™ 2 can only be used on those devices, while Minecoins bought elsewhere can no longer be spent on Nintendo systems. The good news? Any Minecoins you already own will move to a Legacy Wallet and remain usable across compatible platforms with no expiration date. Players should also check supported platforms when purchasing new Minecoin cards to ensure they work where they plan to play.

Enriched

Changes are coming to how you can spend Minecoins purchased on Nintendo platforms and cross-play. Here’s the what, why, when and how of the matter.

Minecoins (as we know) are Minecraft’s virtual currency for the Minecraft Marketplace. Starting October 27, 2026, Minecoins purchased in Minecraft on a Nintendo device (Nintendo Switch™ or Switch™ 2) will be available to use only on those systems.

Similarly, Minecoins purchased in Minecraft on another device can no longer be used for Minecraft Marketplace purchases on Nintendo devices October 27 onwards.

But here’s an important, and hopefully reassuring, note: Minecoins you already own are not changing. Minecoins owned before October 27 will move to a Legacy Wallet, and will continue to be usable across compatible platforms. There is no expiration date for the Minecoins in this wallet - but they will get used up first, before Minecoins purchased after the launch (which will go into a separate Nintendo Wallet, if purchasing from a Nintendo device). (Well, there goes my idea of preserving them as a historic artifact.)

Other things to keep in mind going forward:

Retail & Minecoin cards

Newer retail cards may no longer support Nintendo devices. Look out for the platforms listed on the packaging to ensure the card supports where you intend to play!

Similarly, when purchasing new Minecoin cards, check supported platforms before purchasing or redeeming to make sure your platform of choice is listed.

For more info on Minecraft Minecoins for Nintendo, identifying your Minecoin card’s supported platform, and more, check our player support page.

[MC News] Minecraft Dungeons II Gameplay systems

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 13:00:00 -0200

A returning mechanic is the enchanting system, but this time, it is deeper and more flexible than before. As a player journeys through the land, they'll come across enchantment books containing a unique enchantment. These are added to a personal library of enchantments, which can be used at the local enchantsmith to apply an effect on any gear slot of a player's choice. Rather than relying entirely on the enchantments that happen to appear on a piece of loot, you'll have greater control over how your build evolves throughout your adventure.

This shift encourages a more intentional approach to buildcrafting, giving heroes more opportunities to experiment with different combinations and playstyles. And the journey doesn't end once an enchantment has been applied. Enchantments can also be upgraded and leveled up over time, allowing you to continually refine and strengthen your favorite builds as you prepare for the challenges ahead!

Brave the unknown!

Minecraft Dungeons II is launching on September 29, featuring more action, more loot, and more adventure that will take you to faraway places such as the Sift – an uncharted dimension of threats, mysteries, and breathtaking beauty. Thrill, action, and huge piles of loot awaits you. Head over to the Minecraft Dungeons II page to learn more about your next epic adventure!

[MC News] New on Java Realms: Mischiefs & Secrets

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 10:00:25 -0200

I spend most of my month trying to make sure Oskar doesn’t realize I’m still secretly taking over these articles, and every month he makes it surprisingly easy. This time I hid his glasses, and he’s currently giving a passionate speech about “innovative map design” to a mannequin wearing a creeper hoodie. I’d stop him... but honestly, I’m also quite curious about how long it’s going to take before he realizes.

But Oskar’s new best friend aside, this month’s maps are full of secrets, sparkles, and exploration. From daring missions inside high-security facilities to parkour challenges, and then to an adventure island filled with magic – there’s something for every type of explorer.

Welcome to Mischiefs, Secrets & Sparkling Adventures!

How do I play the new Java Realms maps?

Boot up Minecraft on your device of choice, then find Minecraft Realms in the starting menu. Press the “Configure” button, then choose the “Reset World” option on the Realm slot you’re ok with overwriting (or use the “Minigame” slot for minigames). Now you can pick the map you want to play from the corresponding categories!

A secure facility with guards, watchtower, and fenced compound.ADVENTURE: SECRET RECIPE

by coffeecurley, Vakten & 7ks

Have you always dreamt of sneaking into a top‑secret facility and recovering a stolen recipe for the best cinnamon rolls you’ve ever tasted?

Well, in Secret Recipe you can do exactly that. Sneak through a high‑security complex, jump and duck under lasers, or distract guards with music you trigger using your trusty boomerang (that you just picked up).

Keep an eye on your surroundings and be ready for anything. You never know what’s waiting around the next corner – in this facility, surprises tend to come in cinnamon‑scented packages.

A floating layered mountain shaped like a diamond, packed with colorful themed zonesADVENTURE: DIAMOND DASH

by ptil, Teddyishappyl, TheWorfer27

When you’re parkouring your way through this map, you’ll quickly notice the many different environments, the hard and tricky jumps you need to make, and... oooh, what is that?! Every corner feels like it’s daring you to keep going, every platform is placed just far enough away to make you question your confidence, and every jump has that classic “I swear I pressed space” moment.

But one thing you probably won’t notice right away is that you’re slowly climbing your way up a floating island shaped like a diamond.

As you make your way higher up, you’ll spot secrets tucked between jumps, hidden gems waiting behind tricky turns, and little surprises that reward players who explore instead of rushing. It’s a map that wants you to look twice – preferably not while mid air.

If you love the thrill of the jump and have an eye for secrets, Diamond Dash is definitely for you.

A floating fantasy island with tower, bridges, and airshipsINSPIRATION: ISLAND OF ADVENTURES

by Kahterina, Zumvo, Iaan & rrumours

When you load up this map, you might think you’re about to explore a mansion, a cozy house, or something simple and familiar. But the moment you step out onto the balcony, everything changes. Suddenly you’re standing on a massive island, stretching out in every direction, practically begging you to explore every nook, cranny, and suspiciously placed mushroom.

Wander through the mushroom house, climb the wizard tower, or stop to greet one of the many animals chilling around like they own the place.

But be careful! The waters around the island aren’t as peaceful as they look. There’s a huge skeleton snake lurking out there – or wait… is that made out of…?
