As the world slows down, we’ve discovered it’s become the best time for finishing off projects and catching up on things you may have missed. Fortunately, we’ve helped with the challenging “finding things” part of catching up today, so you can skip right to the good stuff.

How do you dream away the winter days and count down the time to spring? We do it by looking at your art!
Specifically, we’re hanging out a lot these days in the official Discord’s brand new community art channel devoted to ray tracing. That’s how we discovered the above image by DerEnthusiast.

Finally, we would like to close out the year with this heartwarming story about how Minecraft brought one set of long-distance friends closer together. This is just one of many stories that take place every day in our community, and we hope it will inspire you to make 2021 even better together with your friends.
That’s all for now, but be sure to keep sharing the fantastic Minecrafty things you’re doing online, and we may just include it in a future roundup!
