Minecraft Bug Causes Pitch-Black Water on Mobile Devices
Minecraft players on mobile devices are reporting a strange bug where water appears pitch-black, creating an eerie visual glitch in the game. This unusual bug has been affecting several players, particularly those on devices equipped with specific graphics processors, following the most recent Bedrock update for Minecraft.

Bugs in Minecraft: Nothing New but Always Surprising

For a game that has been around for over a decade, Minecraft has certainly seen its fair share of bugs. From minor visual hiccups to major game-breaking issues, glitches are nothing new to the Minecraft community. Players have experienced a variety of bizarre occurrences, like worlds turning into bright pink "Barbie lands" or strange physics behavior. But with every update, new bugs seem to find their way into the game, and the current bug making water appear pitch-black is one of the most striking examples.

Players Report the Black Water Glitch

Reddit user hdgdhdhdhdj, among others, recently shared their experiences with the glitch, noting that water blocks are being rendered as solid black in certain mobile versions of the game. Not just limited to water, other transparent blocks like glass are also showing up in this pitch-black hue. This bug has spiked in reports following the latest Bedrock update, despite being around since August.

The glitch is affecting devices that use specific graphics processing units (GPUs), particularly Samsung’s Xclipse series GPUs. This means not all mobile players are encountering the issue, but those using devices equipped with these processors are seeing the odd black visuals instead of clear water and glass blocks.

Which Devices Are Impacted?

The bug seems to target a specific set of mobile devices, particularly those using Samsung’s Xclipse GPUs. Here's a list of the affected devices:

- Galaxy S22 with Exynos 2200 (SM-S901B) - Xclipse 920

- Galaxy S22 Plus with Exynos 2200 (SM-S906B) - Xclipse 920

- Galaxy S22 Ultra with Exynos 2200 (SM-S908B) - Xclipse 920

- Galaxy S23 FE with Exynos 2200 (SM-S711B, SM-S711E, SM-S711N) - Xclipse 920

- Galaxy S24 with Exynos 2400 (SM-S921B, SM-S921E, SM-S921N) - Xclipse 940

- Galaxy S24 Plus with Exynos 2400 (SM-S926B, SM-S926E, SM-S926N) - Xclipse 940

- Galaxy A55 5G with Exynos 1480 (All Models) - Xclipse 530

The problem lies in how these GPUs render transparent blocks, treating them as solid, opaque objects instead of properly accounting for their transparency. This has resulted in the odd appearance of black water and glass for affected players.

Developers Acknowledge the Issue

The good news is that the developers at Mojang are already working to fix this bug. The issue has been reported on their official bug-tracking site, and it’s being actively investigated. While a complete solution is not yet available, players are encouraged to report any new problems they encounter so that Mojang can address them quickly.

For now, those playing Minecraft on mobile devices with these specific GPUs will have to deal with water looking a bit darker than usual. But despite the visual glitch, the game remains fully functional, so players can continue to enjoy their Minecraft experience—just with a mysterious black twist.

Final Thoughts

Bugs like these are par for the course in a game as massive and dynamic as Minecraft, and while they can be annoying, they often serve as quirky reminders of the complexity involved in keeping such a game running smoothly across multiple platforms. For now, the black water glitch is a visual oddity that has caught the community's attention, but with Mojang's developers on the case, it won’t be long before a patch restores transparency to Minecraft’s blocky world.

If you're playing on one of the affected devices, keep an eye on future updates and Mojang’s official bug tracker for news on when a fix will roll out.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, despite its turbulent launch, has been on a steady course of improvement, thanks to the diligent efforts of Sledgehammer Games. The studio's latest move to balance an overpowered weapon attachment - the JAK BFB Muzzle - is a testament to their commitment to a fair and competitive gaming environment. Balancing the JAK BFB Muzzle The JAK BFB Muzzle, known for its significant recoil reduction and accuracy boost, has been a game-changer in Modern Warfare 3. However, its power came with little cost, leading to an imbalance in gameplay. Sledgehammer Games addressed this by introducing a significant downside: firing the weapon with this attachment now reveals the user's location on the minimap, akin to an Advanced UAV. This strategic change forces players to weigh the benefits of accuracy against the risk of exposure.

The highly anticipated Little Nightmares 3 is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the series, and one of its standout features is the introduction of co-op gameplay. While the first two entries thrived on their eerie, solitary experiences, the third installment takes a different turn by allowing players to team up. Surprisingly, this feature might make the game even more terrifying than before. A Fresh Take on Co-Op Horror Traditionally, horror games have relied on the feeling of isolation to create tension. Being alone in a dark, oppressive environment adds to the unease. However, Little Nightmares 3 seems to be taking the opposite approach. By introducing a second character, players might expect the game to feel less frightening, but the truth could be quite the opposite. The psychological tension of co-op horror is unique. When you're not the only one facing the dangers, there's an added layer of pressure. Players now not only have to worry about their own survival but ...
