Sneaky trick to find buried treasure in Bedrock that Minecraft doesn't tell you
Minecraft is a simple, block-based world that offers never-ending play. A staggering 204 million people reportedly play the addictive game every month, with obsessed youngsters and grown-ups alike gaining skills in problem-solving, creativity even team work.
Minecraft 's virtual landscape sees people dig holes to collect blocks from which they can create anything from a simple hut to a complex city. And while the game, which is available on every mobile device and video game console, is easy to pick up, it's full of secrets.
Thankfully, there are loads of handy tips and tricks online to help gamers in their individual quests. One Redditor posted a PSA or Public Service Announcement for Bedrock players, meaning those who have a multi-platform version of Minecraft rather than the original Java Edition, who are struggling to find buried treasure...

"As you may have heard from Java players or the Wiki, buried treasure always spawns at 'chunk coordinate 9 on both the X and Z axes'," the forum user explained. "For those of us who play Bedrock and therefore don't have access to all that handy debug info, that basically means an odd multiple of 8 (chunks are 16 blocks wide, and chunk coordinates start at 1 instead of 0).
"Stated in mathematical language, {X,Z} mod 16 = {8,8}. You can calculate this easily in a web browser by typing X % 16 or Z % 16, where % is the modulo operator; e.g. 152 % 16 = 8, -56 % 16 = 8, etc."
The helpful Redditor explained it was also possible for the chest to spawn underneath stone-type blocks, urging Bedrock players to trust the coordinates. "Go to the X on the map, do the modulo math, and dig straight down, and you'll find the chest every time," they said.
And the Minecraft advice-giver had one final note for people looking to enhance their game. "ALWAYS BREAK THE CHEST," they said. "Bedrock tends to have issues with multiple maps pointing to the same chest, even if there's another one closer to where the map was found."
Earlier this year, with the help of thegamer.com, the Mirror revealed 18 secrets Minecraft doesn't tell you. They included:
Llamas can be handy to have around if you find you keep running out of inventory space. If you click on a llama while holding a chest, that chest becomes the animal's inventory space.
When you break a block, the breaking pattern always appears on its north side. This can come in handy if you need to quickly orientate yourself.
In earlier versions of Minecraft, diamonds were most likely to appear between five and 12 levels down. Now, they appear between 15 and 63 levels down - and the deeper you dig, the more likely you are to find them.

Fiona Phillips' husband advises against saying one thing to Alzheimer's patients
Fiona Phillips' husband Martin Frizell has been his wife's full-time carer since her Alzheimer's diagnosis. Fiona Phillips' life was irrevocably altered following her diagnosis with early-onset Alzheimer's, but the impact has rippled through her entire family as they adapt to their new reality. Her husband, Martin Frizell, 66, opened up about feeling "isolated" and left to fend for themselves in coping with the situation. After three years of witnessing his wife's struggle with the condition, Martin has become an informal expert, learning how to manage daily challenges for the benefit of his loved ones. The ex-This Morning chief shared a crucial insight he's gained: Never say no. He believes it's more beneficial to go along with the delusions than to contradict them and cause further upset. This approach is something he picked up from extensive reading on the topic. Although he confesses it's not always easy to implement, he's been adhering to this strategy, particularly after Fiona became convinced that Martin was a kidnapper holding her captive. Now, when she's extremely agitated, he humours her by pretending to take her back to her deceased parents, when in fact they're merely circling the block. It may seem illogical, but he's found that it's the most compassionate way to handle such episodes, reports the Mirror. However, it's not without its difficulties. Martin recalls a heart-wrenching moment when Fiona looked at him and said the words he had feared the most: "You're not my husband". In Fiona's latest book, Remember When, Martin shares: "The experts say you are not supposed to challenge someone with Alzheimer's when they're saying things that are completely wrong, but it's very difficult when you are in that moment and you are just desperately hoping you might be able to get through to them. "What am I supposed to say when she says: 'You're not my husband!'?" Despite the challenges, Martin tries to maintain his approach. He continues: "Obviously it's not nice [when she says it] – but I don't feel hurt by it because I know that isn't Fiona talking: it's the illness that has taken her mind." Recent incidents involving fears of abduction have led to some of the most intense 'role-playing' yet. Martin says sometimes Fiona becomes so distressed he has to act as if they are leaving the house for a prisoner swap or ransom exchange at her parents' place. Their sons Nathaniel, 26, and Mackenzie, 23, are also drawn into these scenarios. "The textbooks say to never argue with a dementia patient, although even without the illness you could never win an argument with Fiona, so we play along," Martin explained. Martin feigns guiding her back to her parents, whom she believes are looking for her. Both of her parents suffered from Alzheimer's. Her mother passed away in 2006, and her father was diagnosed soon after and died in 2012. "Fiona and I leave the house as if I am taking her home," Martin shares. "We walk around the block as she loudly proclaims, 'I'll never forgive you for tricking me,' and passers-by stare; then we are back home again, where she goes in and greets Mackenzie as if she hasn't seen him for days. She has forgotten about her mum and dad and is happy to sit down." However, Martin, who left his role at ITV to dedicate more time to his wife of 28 years, also aims to offer comfort to others in similar situations, emphasising the importance of trusting one's own judgement. Despite his background in journalism leading him to extensively research the topic and heed expert advice, he maintains that partners must act on what feels right in the moment. "It feels as though I have read a million books and online articles about how best to cope with a partner with Alzheimer's," he reflected. Some of the advice I agree with – but other bits I'm not so sure about. I think you just have to trust your instinct and deal with whatever is thrown at you as best you can in that moment. "By trying to live up to being the perfect Alzheimer's partner, you are just heaping even more pressure on yourself when there is already so much. And every day is different." The day after Fiona's admission that he wasn't her husband, she seemed to rally, displaying glimpses of her once sharp wit. He concedes that at 64, Fiona lives solely "in the present" finding it challenging to engage in conversation as her memory often fails her and she can't recall events from "30 seconds or five minutes" prior. Remember When... graces bookshops this week. The progression of Fiona's condition is evident to readers, from the initial chapters penned over a year ago to the second-to-last update provided by Martin. He ensures, however, that Fiona has the concluding say, even though he had to jog her memory about the book for her to write the final chapter. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Prince William's 'strict' stance on Prince Harry even if he reconciles with King
A royal source has told the Mirror that Prince William is still 'deeply wounded' by the allegations levelled against him by Prince Harry in his various interviews and memoir, Spare Prince William remains"deeply wounded" by Prince Harry and has no plans to contact him - even if he reconciles with other Royal Family members, according to an source. It is said that King Charles would welcome a reunion with his youngest son the Duke of Sussex, as long as he scales back his public attacks on the family and stops the "endless" interviews. It comes after senior aides to both father and son held a secret peace summit last week - said to be a "significant" step in reuniting the feuding pair. At least three representatives from either side were seen speaking at the Royal Over-Seas League which sits just three minutes from Clarence House. The meeting has prompted many to wonder if the aides had been discussing a possible meeting between the King and Harry, when he is due to visit the UK in September. However, no representatives for William, who also has an extremely rocky relationship with his brother, were at the meeting. And a royal source told the Mirror that the Prince of Wales is still reeling over his falling out with his brother, as he continues to struggle with claims made by Harry in various interviews and in his autobiography Spare. The source said: "The Prince of Wales remains deeply wounded by Prince Harry's various allegations in his memoir and endless broadcast interviews over the last few years. "There are no plans to either make contact with or arrange to see the Duke of Sussex in the near future and regardless of any members of the family seeking reconciliation, that is certainly not on the prince's mind. Both the Prince and Princess of Wales are entirely focussed on their various important duties and their own family." It comes as a close friend of the Waleses has also spoken out over the potential reconciliation, telling MailOnline that William and his wife Kate had not been made aware of the meeting, and had been deliberately left out. 'It's no coincidence that William and Catherine did not have a representative at the Royal Over-Seas League,' says one of the royal couple's alleged friends. 'They were not asked to send anyone and will be treating the talks with extreme caution." The insider close to the Waleses referred to one of the biggest obstacles in the way of a 'rapprochement process' between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family: the loss of trust. While the royals haven't been on speaking terms with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Sussexes have made the most of their platform by engaging in several tell-all interviews in which they dropped several allegations against the Firm, as Harry also did in his autobiography Spare. But if any reconciliation is to be on the cards between father and son, one source warned it would only come if Harry, 40, stops conducting "endless rounds of broadcast interviews as his only way of communication". A source previously told the Mirror: "The King has consistently shown he loves both his sons and as he has done in the past is prepared to meet Harry when their diaries allow such an occasion. It's not unusual for aides from different households to meet, especially when there is a new influx of staff starting their roles, but of course this is a significant moment. "Senior members of the family have in the past said to Harry that he must both stop his attacks on the family as well as giving endless rounds of broadcast interviews as his only way of communication. If there is a period of calm and reflection on the part of the Duke of Sussex, then there may be a way forward for him to begin along the road of repairing his relationship with his father.' Harry recently made public his desire to bury the hatchet with his family, saying in a tell-all interview with the BBC in May that he 'would love a reconciliation' with the King and William, as he admitted that he was tired of fighting, and he worried about Charles' health because he did 'not know how much longer [his] father has.' In the interview, the Duke even said: "I would like to get my father and brother back."
