When Minecraft came out over a decade ago, exploring underground was already spooky, but it was pretty monotonous; lava and the rare diamond block were the most exciting things to see. Nowadays, though, heading underground is a much more exciting experience. Caves are far more varied and interesting, and there are even deep-buried Ancient Cities to loot–if you can avoid the Warden.There are dozens of biome types and subtypes aboveground, but below ground you’ll find fewer biomes and more danger.Note: This guide focuses on the Bedrock version of Minecraft, available on Windows 10, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and mobile.

You might have heard that the Borderlands movie isn’t going great, both at the box office and with the critics. However, the person who probably took it the worst wasn’t the cast and crew–it was Randy Pitchford, president and CEO of Gearbox, the company where the Borderlands games originated–with another one on the way. Pitchford’s response seemed like in good stride, even saying he was flattered.”So what you’re saying is: You like what my friends and I do with our Borderlands video games even more than you like what some of the biggest and best cast and crew of filmmakers on the planet have done,” he tweeted. “I’m super flattered! We’re working extra hard [for] you on what’s next….”That sort of positivity was pretty funny, as bad video game adaptations happen. But Pitchford’s response…
