Dear Ask Us Anything, Hi! My name is Todd, and I love reading your magazines! I have some questions about Minecraft and I play Java Edition.
1. Can you find a seed near a mountain? I want to make a fun mountain climbing map.
2. How do you find music discs? 3. How does the comparator work? 4. Can I bring back zombie pigmen without mods? I hope you can answer my questions! Todd, age 8
Hey Todd! We’re sure we can answer them!
It depends what sort of thing you’re looking for, but use the seed ‘-494460667990824802’to spawn in a snowy mountain range with a village nearby – that should give you a fun location for climbing mountains!
Music discs are found in a few places. Two discs, 13 and Cat, are found in loot chests in dungeons, ancient cities and woodland mansions. ‘Otherside’can be found inside chests in dungeons, ancient cities and strongholds, and ‘pigstep’can be found in bastion remnants. All other discs can only be collected by making a skeleton or a stray kill a creeper. The creeper will drop it where it dies!
Comparators are perhaps the most complicated bit of redstone machinery – too complicated to explain fully here – but the basics are that they can take in two redstone signals and can either compare or subtract them. They can also be used to examine the state of certain blocks (e.g. how full a chest is) and output a signal based on that. The best way to figure it out is to experiment with them, but hopefully that’ll explain the results to you.
Nope – although zombified piglins are basically identical to zombie pigmen!
Dear Ask Us Anything, Hello! This is my first time writing to you. I play Minecraft on Nintendo Switch. I wanted to know: 1. How do you get the wither storm mod on the Bedrock Edition Nintendo Switch? 2. If you combine all the best enchantments on a netherite sword, how much damage will it do? 3. What does the Impaling enchantment do on a trident? 4. What's the fastest speedrun of Minecraft somebody ever did (without cheats)? 5. In one issue, you said that the command to get underwater TNT was something like /give@p TNT type=3. (I can't remember the exact command.) If type 1 is normal TNT, what's type 2? Thanks!

Hey Caleb. Always good to hear from a Nintendo player!
Sadly there’s no way to do this. In fact, the existing wither storm mods that we know of don’t even work with modern versions of the game on the PC. If that every changes we’ll let you know – we’re aware how popular the wither storm mods were!
We think that if you want the best all-rounder sword then you should put a combination of Sharpnes
