4 Minecraft Tips / Hints

Updated: Dec 30, 2020

Counting the distance by using blocks in groups


So far most players count the distance in Minecraft 1 by 1, it is quite dangerous if you miss a number.

Instead of 1 by 1, you can try like 5 by 5 or 10 by 10.

Eg: 10 planks, 10 leaves, 10 bricks, 5 planks, 3 leaves gives you a distance of 38 without counting the blocks 1 by 1.

Locating the center of a square


For most people, the first thing that comes to their mind is MAFS~

true, with Maths you can deal with rectangles.

But for the squares, there is a shortcut that you don't need maths or counting during the finding of the center.

Pick any corner and then start placing blocks to bisect the angle into two 45deg angles and continue until you reach somewhere close to the middle (you can extend it afterward if it is too short), then pick another angle (which is not the opposite angle) and do the same thing.

The point where the 2 lines intersect is the center of the square.

Locating the point where it is

exactly under a specific Block of your choice


Say you want to place a beacon right under a stained glass high up in the sky, how can you find exactly the point where to place the beacon?

In Minecraft, although there are a bunch of floating blocks, Gravity is still working on some blocks, eg: sand, gravel, powders. These blocks will drop VERTICALLY if there is no block underneath them. We can use this feature to locate the beacon.

Place a sand block or any Gravity True Blocks underneath your stain glass and let Gravity and the Block work for you, the place where the block lands is the location EXACALLY UNDERNEATH your target.

PS: Ignited TNT is a Gravity True Block

EXTRA : How about Locating a point where it is exactly above a specific block of your choice?

Always make a backup for each period of time


Backup your world folder seems boring but extremely important, when accidents happen, you still have a backup and you are still on track ~

If you are playing Minecraft on a Windows PC, to find your world folder,

go to your File Explorer and type "%appdata%" in the directory bar,

then go to "Roaming"

and then you will find ".minecraft", click it.

In the ".minecraft" folder, you will find a folder named "saves",

which is the folder where all of your Minecraft worlds are stored.

Get inside "saves", each folder is a world, you can zip up a folder at upload it to your cloud storage.

To install a world, place the folder in the "saves" folder, then Minecraft will read the folders here.




 



EXTRA:here are some interesting commands too:

/give @p minecraft:item_frame{EntityTag:{Invisible:1b}}

/give @p minecraft:debug_stick

/give @p minecraft:tropical_fish_bucket{PersistenceRequired:1}




 




If you have any other tips or hints, please share with us by typing them in the comment section below ~


PS: For number 3: We have just used a beacon, right?
