How do you tame a minecraft villager, thereby creating a trusty friend and handy sidekick? You don’t. Minecraft villagers have their own lives and live in a closed society. They trust few outsiders, though they will trade with you because harvesting their own wheat constitutes too great a challenge – on account of all minecraft villagers are born with their hands stuck together. This (lack of) feature may be updated in future updates or addressed by mods.

This is a minecraft guide detailing how to craft fireworks, create multicolored fireworks, build bigger fireworks, longer fireworks, automatic firework displays and more.

Minecraft fireworks require two craftable items: a fireworks rocket and fireworks balls.

How To Make A Fireworks Rocket

A simple fireworks rocket requires one gunpowder (obtained from a slain, but unexploded creeper), one paper (obtained from sugar cane), and a fireworks ball.

Minecraft pigs have been rideable with saddles since the very early stages of the game. Even back in beta one could craft a leather saddle, leap on a pig and find oneself being wandered aimlessly about the place. But in the new minecraft one can actually steer minecraft pigs as you ride them using a carrot on a stick.

How To Craft A Pig Saddle

To ride a pig you’re going to need to saddle a pig. Unfortunately, pig saddles aren’t craftable and they’re not going to become craftable either. You can get yourself a pig saddle by trading with a villager, finding one in a dungeon or using the /gamemode command to switch to creative, crib yourself a saddle and switch back before you lose your sense of immersion.

How To Craft A Carrot And Stick For Minecraft Pig Riding

Take one fishing rod and add a carrot. Simple as that!

Be aware of the fact that carrots on sticks don’t last forever, so you’ll have to craft plenty of carrots on sticks if you want to ride your trusty pig steed all o’er the minecraft plains.

(Please note that unless you are using a recent snapshot you won’t be able to steer pigs with carrots on sticks until the next update, when this article will leap into glorious relevance!)

This humble minecraft command block awaits your commands.

The command block is a minecraft block designed to be used in Adventure Mode. With a command block a map creator will be able to ‘instruct’ a map/block to dispense specific items and EXP points when the block is activated via a redstone current. This means that when a player completes an objective in adventure mode, they can be rewarded. The command block can also be used to change how the game behaves at different stages of the map. Mob spawning, fire spread, block and mob drops can all be controlled via the command block. The command block can also be used in multiplayer server maps (SMP).
