Just like real life, a compass is useful for navigation in Minecraft. Here’s how to make a compass in Minecraft with iron and redstone.

You can make maps and find your spawn point with a compass in Minecraft. The item certainly deserves to be in your inventory, and here’s how to make a compass in Minecraft.

Minecraft is all about exploring the massive open world but returning to your base is the perfect way to end the day. Players usually make their homes near the default spawn point or use beds to make custom spawn points.

A compass in Minecraft helps you reach your spawn point as it points in its direction. The item becomes more useful once you acquire a lodestone.

On that note, here’s everything to know about making a compass in Minecraft.

You need iron ingots and redstone dust to craft a compass in Minecraft. The raw materials for both these items can be obtained from the Overworld and thereafter, you can use smelting (add the item to a furnace) to get them.

Before collecting iron ore and redstone ore, make sure that you have a furnace. If not, make one with the help of cobblestone and the crafting table:

Iron ore, deep slate iron ore, and raw iron turn into iron ingots after smelting in Minecraft. Players can also add an iron block to a crafting table and get nine iron ingots out of it.

Iron ore is generally found underground. If you mine it without the Silk Touch enchantment, the blocks drop raw iron.

Redstone ore turns into redstone dust through smelting. You can find Redstone ore underground and the chances of obtaining it increase as you go lower. If mined without Silk Touch and with an iron pickaxe, a block of redstone ore drops redstone dust.

You can also get redstone dust directly in jungle pyramids, woodland mansions, and ancient cities.

After obtaining redstone dust and iron ingots, add them to a Minecraft crafting table in this manner to get a compass:

You can get a compass in Minecraft naturally through these sources:

Having said that, it is always more reliable to make your own items than to wander around the Overworld in the hope to find them. This is what makes crafting so important in Minecraft.

According to an industry insider, Fortnite and Teen Titans are set for another crossover. This time bringing Starfire to the game.

It looks like Starfire could be the latest Teen Titans character to appear in Fortnite following Beast Boy and Raven. Here’s everything you need to know about the potential crossover.

Fortnite players are currently enjoying the final weeks of Chapter 3 Season 3, alongside the newly released Dragon Ball bundles. Epic Games continue to work on groundbreaking crossovers that bring exciting and memorable new faces to the battle royale.

The recent success of the Dragon Ball crossover should have players eager to see what’s next. While an unexpected Destiny 2 collaboration has recently made its way to Fortnite, there’s still more to come. An industry insider has claimed that yet another Teen Titans crossover could be on the way.

According to leaks, popular Teen Titans member Starfire will arrive in Fortnite on September 2.

Renowned leaker and industry insider Tom Henderson broke the news on August 26. While Henderson is well known for his Call of Duty leaks, his impressive range of information allows him to cover other popular titles such as Fortnite as well.

While Epic Games have not confirmed the collaboration, Henderson is usually spot on when it comes to upcoming bundles and collaborations.

Fortnite players should recall that Starfire will not be the first Teen Titans character to debut in the battle royale. Previously both Raven and Beast Boy were added to Fortnite during Chapter 2, Season 6.

Teen Titans fans who missed out on their previous Fortnite crossover, should have a chance to claim a Starfire bundle before Chapter 3 Season 4 comes around.

While we can only speculate about the items in the rumored bundle, most Fortnite bundles usually include a pickaxe, back bling, and glider. Only time will tell if the Starfire rumors are true, but September 2 is fast approaching so you won’t have to wait too long.

Apex Legends Season 14 is here, but which Legends are dominating Season 14 of Respawn’s battle royale so far?

Season 14 of Apex Legends has tons of characters to choose from to enjoy its several maps. But who has the top Season 14 pick rates in Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale shooter?

Apex Legends hit the ground running when it launched with eight different characters to choose from in its battle royale offering. The game suffered a notable lull when Call of Duty: Warzone launched, but with many popular streamers such as NICKMERCS and Dr Disrespect continuing to support the game, Apex has grown expeditiously.

There are now a whopping 22 different Legends to choose from, giving players a headache before each game. With Season 14 now here, the new Legend Vantage has already knocked some fan-favorite characters out of the running.

Let’s see how the current roster’s pick rates are looking to give us an idea of the most popular Legends in Apex Legends Season 14.

This is our complete list of every character pick in Apex Legends, and we’ve ranked them in order to let you know which are favored.

Here is every Apex Legends pick rate in Season 14 ranked, as of August 26, 2022, according to Apex Legends Status:

Again, with the influx of new Apex Legends players, Bloodhound is a great character to use for new players in Season 14.

Bloodhound nearly always stays in and around the 8-11% mark the seasons go on, and they have dropped slightly to 8%. Don’t let that put you off though, as they are easily the top Recon class to use in Apex Legends thanks to their tracking tools and incredible skills, plus, their Beast of the Hunt Ultimate is priceless.

Pathfinder has consistently been one of Apex Legends’ top five picks at 8.2%, and counting, for quite some time now.

As a Recon class, Pathfinder simply excels in movements and traversing the game’s various maps. His Grappling Hook and Zipline Gun are simply invaluable assets that will help any team in a pinch – either because of the circle or a third-party situation. He consistently manages to stay in the top 5 as a result.

Another starting Legend, Wraith has been a consistent pick throughout Apex Legends’ lifetime, and she has taken the number three spot with a 9.2% pick rate in Season 14.

Wraith’s stand-out features are her ability to get out of trouble very quickly – teammates included. Her abilities allow her to sense danger, become temporarily invulnerable, and create portals to escape predicaments. It’s easy to see why Wraith continues to be an absolute fan favorite in Apex Legends Season 14.

The brand-new Legend Vantage takes the number two spot in Apex Legends Season 14. With a 9.5% pick rate, Vantage has stolen the show from other top Legends such as Wraith and Pathfinder.

Vantage’s incredible popularity is probably due to her being new, but she’s not to be trifled with either. Her Sniper Rifle is an incredibly strong weapon, she’s able to wall run, and has a direct counter to Mirage.

How her pick rate will change throughout Season 14 remains to be seen, but she’s well-worth using on the overhauled Kings Canyon.

With a 10.1% pick rate, the speed demon has taken the number one spot, continuing his reign as one of the most popular Legends in Season 14, fluctuating between the top two places.

Aside from his amusing quips, he is the perfect balance of offense and defense. Despite being regarded as an offensive Legend, Octane can greatly increase his sprint speed which is useful for both attack and running away.

But most Octane users thrive on his Launch Pad Ultimate which can send him, and friendly players, high up into the air.

That covers all the picks in Apex Legends Season 14. As always, buffs and nerfs will come and go throughout the season, altering the game’s meta, and subsequently, Legend pick rates.

We’ll be sure to keep this updated regularly so you can stay on top of the in picks and don’t forget to check out how to get the Twitch Prime skin for the month of August.
