Read More »It has been purchased more than 200m times and after 10 years it’s still one of the most played video games in the world – now the block building sim Minecraft has passed another milestone: YouTube videos of the game have passed one trillion views, making it the most watched game on the platform. Originally released in 2009, Minecraft has always been popular on the video sharing site, thanks to its open and highly creative nature. Players can build whatever they like in the blocky landscape, and talented modellers have flooded YouTube to show off their most impressive creations, from scale models of Hogwarts and the Starship Enterprise to working computers. The game also proved immensely popular with the first generation of superstar YouTube influencers – the likes of Stampy Cat, DanTDM and PewDiePie built vast audiences through playing Minecraft and creating their own narratives, events and challenges via the game’s open design. According to Microsoft, there are are now more than 35,000 active Minecraft creator channels on YouTube, based in 150 different countries. To celebrate the one trillion milestone, YouTube has released an animated video featuring moments from the history of Minecraft on the platform, and is also changing the logo on the YouTube homepage for 24 hours. There will also be curated playlists featuring Minecraft creators and videos from around the world. Minecraft was originally developed by a small team in Stockholm, led by coder Markus Persson. That team became the development studio Mojang, which released an early version of the game in 2009, before a full launch two years later. Persson left the company in 2014, when it was bought by Microsoft for $2.5bn (£1.9bn). Mojang has been updating Minecraft ever since, adding new characters, stories and building blocks to the world and updating its characteristic visual design. Meanwhile, the Xbox Minecraft Marketplace allows users to sell the items, models and mini-games they have created to other users, giving the world its own functioning economy. With new add-ons arriving annually, a vast merchandising operation, a long-awaited movie in the making and growing interest in the concept of shared online worlds – or metaverses – it’s unlikely this is the last viewing milestone Minecraft fans will construct.

LUCKNOW: After terming tattoos as anti-shariya, the Darul Uloom Deoband has issued a fatwa against dyeing hair black According to the Islamic seminary, sharia does not permit one to colour his or her hair black. Some believers had sought the view of the authorities of the seminary on this issue. Answering the questions, the seminary said colouring hair black was not in accordance with the shariah, though one could apply a colour like henna (mehndi) on the hair.According to the seminary, the sharia prohibits use of such dyes that leave a layer on the hair as it obstructs water from reaching the roots of hair during wazu (ablution) and make it invalid. Answering the question if namaz was permissible after applying colour on hair, the seminary said that it was allowed to use colour other than black provided the colour does not contain impure things and does not leave such a layer on the hair that prevents water from reaching the roots.“Otherwise wazu (ablution before offering namaz) shall not be valid and when wazu is not right then namaz shall also not be valid,” the seminary said. Another question was related to use of ammonia-free dyes for the hair. On this question, the seminary issued the fatwa that “if the hair get black with the use of that dye, then it shall not be lawful to apply it, but if the hair get red-like colour of henna then it is permissible”.
