Minecraft既包含了各种有趣的事情可以做,又包含了一些日常工作,如收集资源。这些工作可能会变得非常无聊。当然,众口难调。不同玩家认为不同部分是游戏中“无聊”的部分。这一页含有各种,在游戏各个方面的节省时间的小窍门。
游戏中的小窍门
自动机械
- 到目前为止,游戏中最节省时间的工具便是自动作业。 红石电路,怪物磨床,圆石生成器,各种自动农场,经验农场,通过活塞完成的各种建筑机械等等或许需要很多时间来建造,但是之后它们节省的时间很快就能回报你所花的时间。这些自动机械通常都有它们自己的教程,所以这里就没有详细地一一列举它们的主要内容。
床
- 任何时候,当你在地面上活动(尤其是当你远离家园去制造地图或做其他事情),带上一个床永远是值得的。当开始天黑时,放下床,睡觉。越过夜晚能给予你更快,更安全的旅途。夜晚出现的怪物很容易造成各种干扰(包括杀死你),而且在夜晚中你可能忽略了很重要的物体。你可能会担心怪物们在你尝试睡觉时攻击你,但你如果睡得够早,周围的亮度会阻止任何怪物的出现,并给予你一个没有爬行者的白天!如果你带着床并被杀死,你会回到你上次睡觉的地方!
隔开走过的矿区
- 在地下非常容易迷路,并消耗你极多的时间在已经探索过的洞穴区域里走动。通过阻断已经走过的路来防止再走一次同样的路。在理想的情况下,使用透明的屏障例如玻璃或栅栏(叶子会特别地容易拿到)。这允许你能看见里面的情况,并发现可能生成的怪物(光照不够或你被忽略的部分) 尤其注意的是,避免使用地面的方块,因为你可能无法判断该区域是否已经被你封锁,或是地图生成的方块。另一个好主意是使用方块创建一个形状,例如信、数字。这样,你才能使用地面的方块。
阻挡水的通道
- 每当你布置的红石电路与水靠在一起时,并且你要冒着挖错方块和发生洪水的风险,通过梯子、台阶或其它 at key points 保护红石电路。这会中断水的流动并预防了你的电路被水冲走的风险。另一种替代方法是挖一个方块深的排水口限制水的传播。这两种方法可以节省时间并在洪水发生时重建你的红石电路.
骨粉
- 當你取得所有顏色的染料,並馴服了所有你想要的狼,骨頭和骨粉便只剩一個用途:促進植物生長。當然你得保留一些下來以備不時之需,但多餘的部分則可以如此使用:撒在草地上以生長草堆,如此你便可收集些種子用來建立小麥農場。約6-8份的骨粉便能促使一定數量的小麥成熟以製作麵包,對於生產緊急食糧相當有用。
- 你可以使用骨粉將棕色或紅色的蘑菇轉變成巨大蘑菇,收成它們你便能簡單的取得一定數量的蘑菇湯。就算骨粉的效果在1.5版以後被削弱(約減少50-70%),你仍能用它來促進比如樹、南瓜、西瓜、胡蘿蔔和馬鈴薯的生長。別浪費時間等待一開始的稀少作物成熟,用骨粉加速以更快收割。
- 提示: 種植巨大蘑菇可能需要點小技巧:蘑菇無法種植在光照強度太高的地方(而且一段時間後會消失)。近期版本(12w32a以後),一種替代方案是用泥土製作一個黑暗洞穴以避免陽光直射,將蘑菇種在洞穴中後移除泥土,並在蘑菇消失以前立刻撒下骨粉。
記錄行經路線
- 無論是在地底下還是地上,儘可能用一些方式標記你行走的路線。使用火把、有色羊毛、花、蘑菇、紅石、鐵軌、圓石、點燃的地獄岩、或任何你喜歡的其他東西。養成總是插火把在同一側牆上的習慣,或是插在一個方塊的側面以讓它總是指向出口。這些方式都能幫助確認你的來向,尤其是多插告示牌在交叉路口!省下誤入歧途的時間是很有意義的。
- 如果你在地底下迷路,不要花太多時間在找尋回到你熟悉地點的路線上,因為你知道地面在哪裡:上方。往地面挖出個階梯狀的路線吧,這能幫助你更快的找到回家的路。當然,挖的時候切記安全守則:不要垂直向上挖,並且隨時提防落下的水、沙、沙礫和岩漿,並儘可能避免在晚上的時候到達地面。
仙人掌/甘蔗
- 一種快速收集仙人掌或甘蔗的方式就是從根部挖,這樣整株仙人掌都會掉落成可拾取的道具,挖走它們底下的方塊也有同樣效果。
- 採收仙人掌/甘蔗田時,留下一個仙人掌或甘蔗的方塊,如此你便不需要重新裁種它。但有個小小的風險,仙人掌剩下的那一個方塊有可能破壞掉下來的仙人掌。
- 暫時移除甘蔗旁的水源並採收其中一株甘蔗可以讓整列甘蔗都掉下來。注意這個現象的發生取決於甘蔗的排列方式。
- 在仙人掌旁邊擺一個方塊(泥土或沙子都行)會讓仙人掌掉下來。如果仙人掌以棋盤格方式排列,那麼你就能用這個方式一次收成兩到三個仙人掌。這個方塊也能被放在比較高的位置,以便只採收高於方塊位置的仙人掌。
- 將甘蔗排成一條直線,跑步時瞄準甘蔗的第二格位置,能幫助你有效率的採收甘蔗。瞄準第二格能確保你不會因為破壞到甘蔗的底部而得重新種植。
用水来收集植物和雪
- 用一桶水来迅速清除积雪、粮食、蘑菇和一些其他(主要是种植)项目是非常有用的,而不是一个一个点击每一块,浇一桶水在该地区,水可以清除超过一百块的一个操作,并可以收集和重用。要注意的是,水也会冲走红石电路!
清除流动的岩浆
- 当你已经收集了(或封住了)一个岩浆源头方块后,等待流动的岩浆消失有可能会花费非常长的时间.直接用一个廉价的方块如泥土、圆石、易燃烧的树叶或地狱岩去替代,而不是等待一个最满的流动方块慢慢自行消失,将节省非常多的时间.你也可以使用火把清理挥之不去的熔岩.
- 水和流动的水会将流动的岩浆变成易开采的圆石.不幸的是,这个方法在下界无法使用,因为水会在放置的瞬间消失.
- 但是如果你愿意安装Mod,水方块将不会消失.
Crafting
- Particularly when away from your base collecting materials, don't clutter your inventory with unneeded items. You should normally carry wooden logs and possibly some coal and or iron, and then craft items such as extra tools, fences—even the crafting bench itself—only when you need them. This maximises the space you have available for the items you are collecting. The main exception is torches, which are constantly used; these should be made half a stack at a time whenever you have less than a dozen of them. Similarly, ladders may be needed in a hurry, so you might want to keep some handy. It may also be worth keeping a chest in inventory, in case you clear out your inventory in a hurry.
- Another crafting speedup is to always try to make round numbers of constantly-used items. For example, when making fences, one wood block makes four planks, which makes eight sticks, which makes two fences with two sticks left over. It's usually better to make fences eight at a time (four recipes), which uses up exactly three logs without waste and without cluttering your inventory. Or as an alternative, you could routinely make any spare planks or sticks into torches or any other frequently-used item. Similarly, make 24 ladders at a time, with seven logs. Even signs can be mass-produced with 13 logs (one goes to sticks, the rest to planks), but since signs only stack to 16, this will produce 1½ stacks. Fence gates cost exactly one log apiece, and their crafting recipe lets you do any number up to a stack quickly (by moving half-stacks six times).
- Pressing and holding shift while collecting outcome instantly puts all crafted items into your inventory. This is useful when crafting many items, but be careful when crafting unstackable or 16-stackable items! The new inventory behaviors in 1.5 also let you quickly divide a stack among multiple slots. Pick up a stack of items, then click and drag across several inventory or crafting slots to divide the stack evenly between those slots or right-click and drag to place a single item per slot. This is especially handy for 3- and 6-pile recipes such as slabs & stairs, paper & books, fences, and so on.
获取无限的羊毛/染色羊毛
可以使用染料将羊染色,然后用剪刀获取羊毛,这样的话过一段时间羊毛还能长出而重新获取.而且,染色后的羊以后还会长出相同颜色的羊毛,无需再次染色. 不过最好不要过多采集,因为这样很快你的箱子就撑不下过多的羊毛了.
Enchantments
- Enchanted items provide a variety of benefits over standard ones. While it's not wise to use a high-level enchantment on anything but a diamond item, the effort needed to gain level 1–5 or so is trivial, and so you might consider putting low-level enchantments even on your expendable tools.
使用使用末影珍珠快速移动
- 一旦你收集了足够多, 末影珍珠对于进行快速的长距离移动是非常有用的.但这个方法最好配合附魔铠甲特别是一双附有摔落保护魔咒的靴子来使用.否则积累的摔落损害很快就会达到一个无法接受的水平.详见末影珍珠
Flint and Steel
- Although this may seem cruel, by using a flint and steel to set passive mobs on fire, you can kill and cook them in one operation without needing to spend extra time putting the meat in a furnace, collecting fuel and so on. This is a significant time-saver. One flint and steel is good for tens of mobs, possibly hundreds if they are crowded closely together. This also works with Fire Aspect swords; a diamond sword is enough to cook over 20 stacks of meat.
- Fire is also a quick way of removing unwanted flammable items. Thus, if you are making an expendable temporary structure, consider building it out of leaves or wood to make it quicker to remove later. This works best in hard mode, as fire will spread faster and be more destructive than in other modes.
节约铺设地面时的材料
当铺设大面积的地板或道路时,可以使用手中材料的台阶形式以颠倒的方向铺设,这样的话等量的材料就可以铺设双倍面积了,而且看起来与正常方块没有区别.
- 也可以以正常方向放置,这时台阶上将不会刷新怪物
- 这在铺设家中地板时尤为有用
Furnaces
- Furnaces are very cheap to make, and it is much quicker to process large quantities of material in parallel, so don't build just one furnace, build lots, and use them all at once.
- When smelting items—assuming you use coal or charcoal as a fuel—always try to add items to the furnace in multiples of eight. This avoids wasting fuel. If you really need to smelt less than eight of an item, use a furnace fueled with wooden planks, sticks or saplings. Two saplings or sticks will smelt one item; two planks will smelt three.
- You should always keep plenty of fuel in your furnaces so that you don't have to refill them every time you need to smelt something.
- With hopper-fed furnaces, add a switch to deactivate the top hopper. That way you can queue up a great many different items and smelt them all at once, reducing the need to gather 8x multiples of everything.
- keep you first wooden pickaxe(you can damage as much as you want) so you can put it in furnace, it'll cook one item
- SUPER TIP*
If you are out of coal and there are no coal mines nearby, cook a log in the furnace (not as a coal substitute, but in the top box) you will get charcoal, which works exactly like coal!
使用岩浆桶
- 使用岩浆桶可以有效地一次性清理大量怪物,或照亮一大片区域.
这在清理一个刷怪箱时可以有效节约时间.当大部分的敌对生物都被杀死后,再手动清理剩余的怪物将会又快又安全. 这个技巧在与抗火药水配合使用时更为有效,你可以游过自己放置的岩浆而接近刷怪箱. 即使在下界遇到了烈焰人刷怪箱也是(生物无法在岩浆上刷新)
- 当你有大量物品需要烧炼时将岩浆桶作为燃料是一个不错的选择.
使用岩浆来加快建筑速度
众所周知,流动的岩浆遇到水会变成圆石,这一特性可被用来加快建造建筑的速度.
- 铺设大量石头
首先,将需要铺设的地方倒满水,然后在其上方倾倒岩浆,就可以使水变圆石.这样可以可以节省铺设的时间.这个方法也被用来在海面上快速建造石头岛屿.
- 建造黑曜石建筑
即使使用附了魔的镐,采集黑曜石还是很漫长枯燥.特别是需要大量使用黑曜石时.从远处带黑曜石来也是很麻烦的.这时可以采集一些岩浆,用廉价材料包裹住需要放置黑曜石的地方,向内倾倒岩浆,再倒水即可.
- 在使用上面方法时尤其注意要防止岩浆点燃周围的可燃物!
Maps
- Maps are useful, and can be auto-generated in-game. The catch is that you have to move about your world with the map in hand in order to draw it, and that can be dangerous because it's hard to see where you're going. The solution is to press the F1 key, temporarily removing the head-up display, so that you can see clearly and move at full speed without risk. Another way to get the same result is to press F5 to switch to the third-person view. Pressing F1 again (or F5 twice) will put things back to normal.
- If your map borders the sea, or if you have a river within reach, another quick (and safe) mapping method is to build a boat and ride in it round the coastline(s) of the area you want to map. The map will extend a reasonable distance inland, and you can 'fill in' any remaining holes in the coverage on foot. You can also move reasonably safely through swamps and the wider rivers. In older versions of the games, colliding with a lily pad could destroy your boat, but this was changed in weekly release 12w22a.
- Unexplored jungle terrain is very hard to traverse quickly. Here, the best practice is to start by tracing the perimeter of the jungle from the surrounding non-jungle biomes. Even swamps and dense woods are quicker to move through than jungle. Only venture into the jungle if it's a big one and you are determined to map every last part of it.
Placing Precise Numbers of Blocks Quickly
- If you need to build something of known dimensions, or place exactly some number of an item, adjust the size of the stack in your active slot before you start. This way, you can use the stack itself as a counter that automatically runs out at the desired measurement. For example, if you wanted to mark out a 40×50 rectangular area, fill an active slot with exactly 40 blocks. You can then place them without worrying about counting; once the stack runs out, you know you've placed exactly 40 blocks. In the other direction, fill the active slot with 49 blocks and place them. For lengths larger than 64 meters in one direction, either use stacks of 64 and then one final stack with the remainder, or size your stacks with round numbers of blocks. Use whichever method you find simplest.
Pistons
- Made a mistake when building something? Do you now have to destroy and re-place a large number of blocks? This may be a case where pistons can help. First, put gaps in key places so that no single run of blocks is more than twelve meters long. Then put temporary 'filler' blocks in any remaining gaps. Then place one or more pistons, and use it or them to nudge each section of blocks back into position. This tip is most useful when the initial block placement is complex, such as when drawing pixel art using wool, or for buildings with advanced decorative embellishments, or when using materials which cannot be removed without the silk touch enchantment, such as ice, glass or smooth stone. With care, you can even use this trick to move small buildings.
使用药水
一旦你能够酿造它们,药水就可以以很多种方式节约你的时间.根据不同的情况选择不同的药水,可以使游戏体验变得更容易. 治疗药水和再生药水可以让你快速愈合;迅捷药水能让你快速移动很长的距离;喷溅型剧毒药水和伤害药水可以让你瞬间削弱或杀死大量怪物.
- 对付亡灵生物时则需要治疗药水,并且这可以在对亡灵生物造成伤害的同时治愈自己
- 请不要对在你面前的怪物使用喷溅型的伤害、中毒或缓慢等药水,这可能会伤害到你自己!
Pressure Plates
- Pressure plates are handy for automatically closing doors and gates behind you without you having to stop, turn round and close them manually. You should generally place them on only the 'safe' side of a door or gate, particularly when mining. They also then serve to orient you towards the exit or towards unexplored areas, which makes getting into and out of the mine significantly quicker. As a bonus, if you hear a pressure plate trigger, you are warned there's a mob somewhere nearby in a supposedly safe area.
快速收集沙子和沙砾
- 当有很多沙子和沙砾堆在一起时,可以挖掉最下面的一块,然后趁着上面的沙子或沙砾还没有掉下来,快速放置一个火把(或压力板等),这样上面的沙子或沙砾掉下来时就会直接变成物品而掉落.这样可以有效的加快采集并节省工具的耐久.
- 使用这种方法收集沙砾时不会掉落燧石
- 如果你需要建造一个临时的柱子,也可以使用这种方法.在柱子使用完后挖掉最下面的一块沙子或沙砾,然后快速放置一个火把,就可以快速的清除这根柱子了.
Shaft Mining
- Mining in caves is more interesting, but also more dangerous. The safest (and, unfortunately, dullest) way to mine is to dig steps down to about level 10–12 above bedrock, and then dig widely-spaced corridors two blocks high and one block wide. This is a form of shaft mining; it might reasonably be termed 'corridor mining'. Whenever you encounter any caves on the way, block them off and ignore them. Each corridor should be about ten meters horizontally from any other. Yes, you will sometimes miss small deposits of ores by this method. But the Minecraft world is effectively unlimited, and the object of efficient mining is to hit as many different seams of ore as possible once and once only. Digging twice to the same ore body isn't good, it's bad, because it wastes effort re-finding a resource you had already discovered. An entirely artificial mining environment like this is safe because it's entirely under your control; there is no risk of mobs spawning in a hidden hole you hadn't discovered, and you can place lights at controllable intervals. Dangerous slimes cannot spawn, and because the mine layout is artificial, it's also very simple, thus making it harder to get lost. The main danger is lava intrusions, but lava now makes bubbling noises when it is nearby, so you should be forewarned. Once you are fully-equipped with diamond armor and weapons, you can then add some variety to your game by exploring the natural caverns.
- Variant: using a standalone map editor or the new worldedit-like commands in 1.8 you can replace all the stone in a tunnel shaped area with air. This can be used to create a 1 wide by 3 tall by however long you want tunnel. Any ores in the carved area will remain since you only told it to remove the stone. Alternately you can first tell it to convert all lava, water, gravel and sand to air, only changing the stone to air after those other annoyances are out of the way. Use this at Y 10 (the tunnel will be heights 10-12) for best diamond-finding results. If you create a series of tunnels spaced 3 blocks apart then any ore that isn't blocking a tunnel will be visible in the side wall of one of the tunnels.
使用剪刀通过树林
就像现实生活中有人在丛林中穿行时有可能携带砍刀,在Minecraft里,你可以使用剪刀剪掉树叶快速通过一片茂密的树林,这可能会比找寻别的路径快3~5倍.
- 使用这种方法,剪刀的耐久将会很快用光,所以请随身携带铁锭制作新的剪刀.
- 这种方法也会使怪物找到新的路径、提供新的刷新怪物的地方.如果你需要停一小会,那么请封住你身后的路,这样就可以避免怪物从后方袭击你了.另外带上宠物猫和宠物狼都是很有帮助的.
使用告示牌
告示牌可以提醒你具体的位置、区域的危险程度或价值、路径等.习惯性的留下告示牌可以有效地提醒你而不忘记一些重要的事. 告示牌还可以在挖矿或制作机关时阻止水和岩浆的流动.
Silk Touch
- The Silk Touch enchantment is surprisingly useful when mining. If you mine, for example, a redstone or lapis lazuli block with a Fortune-enchanted pick, you will end up with several pieces of redstone or lapis lazuli for every block you mine. If you mine with Silk Touch, you mine the entire block, and thus it takes up much less inventory space. This allows you to do a lot more mining before you need to return to base and unload. Back at base, you can then use your best 'Fortune' pick to maximize yield from the blocks collected. This decreases the risk of losing the enchanted tool, as well as increasing the time you can spend mining.
- Silk Touch is a HUGE timesaver when building anything large or even moderately-sized out of regular Stone or even Stone Bricks. This is because a pickaxe with Silk Touch will pick up the Stone, instead of converting it into Cobblestone. This saves all of the coal and smelting time involved into converting Cobblestone into Stone, letting you use the Stone to build or craft into Stone Bricks almost immediately.
Snow Harvesting
- To harvest large volumes of snow quickly, build a snow golem in a confined space so that it cannot move. Then fill your inventory with stone or even wooden shovels. Spam-click at the base of the golem as fast as you can, generating enormous numbers of snowballs. Keep switching to new shovels as they break. Collect the snowballs at intervals, and if you need inventory space, craft them into snow blocks, sixteen at a time. By this method, in one Minecraft day you can use eight stone spades to make roughly four stacks of snow blocks or 16 stacks of snowballs.
- Note: Snow golems do not leave snow trails in plains, swamps, deserts, beaches, jungles, mushroom islands, or the Nether. In deserts, jungles and the Nether, they also rapidly take damage and are very hard to keep alive. If you're stuck in a bad biome such as a river or ocean, try to build a platform over the water.
- Note 2: There's a trick that allows you to leave the mouse clicked while snow generates. This, however, will break shovels quickly (a gold shovel breaks almost instantly, and a diamond one breaks in roughly two minutes).
Split Mines into Sections
- When mining a new area, place barriers at intervals. Fences and Cobblestone walls are ideal. This helps stop mobs sneaking up behind you unexpectedly, and allows you to mark sections of your mine as 'safe'. If you encounter a mob in a 'safe' area, it will probably have been stopped short by your fence, preventing it from attacking you, and you now have an indication that an area is insufficiently lit, or that there is an opening you have not discovered. This trick can save a great deal of time in narrowing down where an unexpected mob has come from.
保持疾跑
当你的食物充足,或处在和平模式下时,你可以随时随地疾跑以加快游戏速度. 双击前进键或按疾跑键(1.7.2以上版本)进入疾跑.而在困难模式下你则需要避免这么做,因为比起走路来这只能提供小幅加速却会使你的饥饿值快速下降.但是,如果你你在疾跑的同时不断地跳跃,你可以移动得更快.但是要当心,否则你可能会由于撞到障碍物而浪费饥饿值.
Sugarcane
- When clearing water out from an area, a common trick is to make a drydock by dropping sand or gravel into the water, thereby displacing it, then digging all of the sand or gravel out again, leaving a dry area surrounded by a curtain wall. In sloped areas, sugarcane can do the same job as sand or gravel, but because sugarcane can only be placed on blocks which have water adjacent, the older sugarcane blocks will automatically uproot as soon as they no longer have water next to them. This saves having to dig them out as a separate stage. In deeper water, the occasional column of sugarcane can act as an airlock, making it quick and easy to move outside the dry area and float to the top level of the drydock.
- Notes:
- Because sugarcane can only be placed on dirt, sand or grass, you will sometimes need to place some of these blocks first.
- It's unlikely that you will be able to completely clear a volume of water using only sugarcane. There will usually be a few spots where sugarcane cannot be placed, and in these places the water will need to be displaced in the usual way or collected using a bucket.
- This method only works on sloped areas. You can't fill a completely flat area with sugarcane because it needs a water block one meter below its own level before it can be placed.
使用驯狼
如果你有驯服的狼,并且不准备使用打火石等预先削弱怪物,这时你就只需要给怪物一拳,驯服的狼就会帮你清理掉那一只怪物.然后你就可以等着收集战利品和经验球了.
- 如果驯服的狼在你正在建造建筑时挡住了你的路,把它们带离原位然后朝着它们身上单击鼠标右键即可.它们会坐下并不再移动,直到你再次朝着它们单击鼠标右键.
当然.在驯服的狼附近有怪物打你时,即使你对它进行了单击鼠标右键,它还是会帮你清理掉那一只怪物。
使用TNT加速采矿
在挖矿时可以使用TNT加快采集,尤其是在火药的收集不成问题时. 2个TNT可以很容易的去除50多块泥土或沙子,多个TNT也可以快速炸开一个石洞穴. 使用多个TNT时,不需要将每一个TNT都点燃,只要不太远,相邻的TNT就可以相互引燃.
Tools
- Always use the best tools you can afford. Iron tools work faster than stone ones, and diamond tools work faster than iron ones. Note that if it's early in the game and you only have half a dozen iron ingots, you cannot really 'afford' to use iron spades; you should reserve your first few iron ingots for a sword, a pick and armor. But by the time you have your first diamonds you should have stacks of iron, and then it's perfectly OK to use iron tools for all your everyday uses. A similar consideration applies once you have diamonds in excess.
- Unless you have high-durability diamond items, always carry spare tools or the materials to make them. At the very minimum always carry wood, as that allows you to make crafting tables and emergency wooden tools. This helps you avoid wasting time on long trips back to your workshop or main storage. The only reason to return home should be to unload, or because you've used up all the resources you took with you, not merely to collect some minor spare parts.
- Don't carry worn-out tools. Once a tool has low durability, leave it behind at your base and make a new one. It doesn't matter if an old tool sits in a chest for a while before being used in a repair, and it's more efficient to repair tools in batches. This trick also reduces the risk of accidentally breaking a valuable tool rather than using it in a repair.
- Treat low-durability tools (wood, stone) as disposable unless you are very short on resources. The small 'repair bonus' on these items only gives another half-dozen uses, which is probably not worth the time needed for a repair. (However, taking advantage of the repair feature may save some inventory space.)
Trees
- When harvesting trees from below, chop out at height 1m and 2m first, leaving the lowest block of the tree as a 'stump'. By jumping onto the stump, you can then reach one block higher into the tree without needing to make a temporary platform to stand on. This means you can farm trees one block higher than otherwise.
- When farming trees, grow either birches or jungle trees. As for the jungle trees, they're very efficient when harvested as described below. Birch trees were the best option prior to the jungle tree's introduction, because they never grew taller than seven blocks and could thus completely be retrieved in the way explained above. Oak trees are particularly irregular and variable, but only they produce apples to gild.
- To harvest trees from above—this is particularly effective for the giant jungle trees—get to the top of the tree, then simply chop your way down to the base. Provided you have a quick means of getting to the top of the tree (ladders, vines, or possibly ender pearls) this is the fastest method of wood harvesting, and it works on trees of any height. Note that when using ladders, they will drop as you break the logs which support them.
Jungle tree harvest. The villager up the tree should chop the block above him, then two blocks in front.
- You can harvest the '2x2' trees, such as giant jungle trees from the bottom by chopping them in a spiral. Chop out two blocks vertically, then jump into this space and chop out one block above you. Then chop out the two blocks in front of you which are 1m and 2m higher than your present height, forming a new space for you to jump into. Repeating this process in a spiral allows you to reach the top of the tree without using ladders or building giant ugly columns.
Mods
- Depending on how you play the game, some Minecraft mods may be ideal for speeding up your work. Tools such as MCEdit, Single Player Commands or mods such as BuildCraft provide a wide variety of ways to speed up certain types of routine operation. Not all these mods fit with every playing style, but if you do want to be able to clone buildings, level vast areas, strip-mine to bedrock and so on, it may well be worth investigating these tools rather than trying to do the work manually.
- To improve FPS, you can use the Optifine Mod.
Out-of-Game Tips
External Tools
- There are many external tools for Minecraft which may help speed up certain types of projects. There are graphics tools to help you make blueprints (such as GIMP, AutoCAD or Google Sketchup), and shape libraries and examples, YouTube videos and more besides. For any big project, look seriously at these options. Tips and examples by other people may save you hours of experimentation or wasted work, and they may help with artistic inspiration too. Pencil and graph paper are perfectly fine tools to use too, and for some projects they are likely to be the ideal solution.
Planning
- If you're doing anything big or complicated, planning ahead can give enormous benefits. The plan can be as simple as a quick mental checklist, or as ambitious as a full-blown blueprint plus materials requirements. Don't over-plan for a simple project, but don't underestimate the benefits of planning properly for an ambitious one.
User Interface Tips
Exploiting the Crafting Grid
- Some crafting recipes can be made more efficiently depending on how you place the items in the grid. This may only save a second or two when making the item, but for frequently-made objects this can still add up. For example, making a gate requires one log block. The most efficient way to make it is as follows:
- Place one log block anywhere in the grid, and it will form four planks.
- Place the planks in the middle of the grid, two in one box and the other two in the box above, using right-click. The crafting output will switch from planks to sticks.
- Click once on the sticks, giving four sticks, and leaving two planks behind in the main grid.
- Right-click four times to place one stick at a time, forming the gate.
By placing the planks in the middle of the grid in step 2, they are already in the right place to generate sticks and form the centre part of the gate in step 4, which saves you from having to move them. Not many crafting recipes behave in this way, but whenever you make a lot of an item, if you are able to place the ingredients in just the right way you can save a little bit of time every time you craft it.
- Another example for time-saving in crafting is found at the very beginning of the game: Making a crafting table and sticks for tools.
- Take the wooden planks that were converted from logs. Place four in the crafting grid, but don't pick up the crafting table yet.
- Put four more planks in the crafting grid, but this time two on top of each other, for the stick recipes.
- This should give you a crafting table and then 8 sticks.
- Similarly, some recipes can be overlapped, so that you can make two different items at once with two quick clicks. You can overlay a shovel (and/or hoe) recipe over that for a pickaxe or axe: stack the extra sticks in place, and add an extra block or ingot at top center (and for a hoe, top-side). When making armor, boots or helmet can likewise be overlaid over pants or chestplate (and/or over each other).

Right-clicking
- Right-clicking with the mouse selects half a stack at a time, or can be used to place a single item in a crafting or smelting slot. Using right-clicks wherever possible helps speed up many crafting recipes from steps and slabs to snowballs, because you can split the stacks into roughly equal portions and convert, for example, a stack of 16 snowballs into four snow blocks with just six clicks. Because crafting is such a big part of the game, making good use of the right-click facility is a big time-saver.
Shapeless Recipes
- For a few crafting recipes—such as mushroom stew and item repairs—the way you place the items in the crafting grid doesn't matter. Knowing these recipes saves a little time every time you make them because you know you don't have to place the items just so.
Shift-clicking
- Shift-clicking makes or moves as many of a stack of an item as possible. Making good use of this trick is probably the biggest time-saver the crafting, brewing, and smelting interfaces provide. It's also useful for quickly filling and emptying chests of stacks of items. (Bug: Prior to weekly release 12w34a, shift-clicking when creating maps would produce multiple copies of map_0; probably not the desired outcome.)
Video Settings
- Lag may arise from a variety of causes, depending on your computer. Possibilities include having too many mobs or items in one place, complex redstone circuits, large forest fires and so on. If the game is normally fast enough for you, but occasionally suffers from lag, don't forget the option of temporarily reducing the game's video settings. Change the render distance to 'Tiny', set particle effects to 'Minimal' and turn off any other video settings that you can live without. When the problem causing lag has cleared, go back to your normal settings. You can also press F3 + A to reset the chunks. This can help reset the lag.
Note: If the lag is network-related rather than a local problem, these changes won't help very much.
- If the game is always a bit sluggish on your system, you should use lower-quality video settings most of the time, but don't forget you can temporarily set the quality to high levels for short periods when you want to admire something. (If the lag gets very bad when you do this, setting the game to peaceful mode at the same time may also be prudent.)
