How to Make a World Border in Minecraft Bedrock
The world border is a feature in Minecraft Bedrock that prevents players from building beyond a certain point. It’s useful for preventing players from building too close to the edge of the world or from building structures that could potentially connect to other worlds. In this article, we’ll show you how to make a world border in Minecraft Bedrock.
Understanding the World Border
Before we get started, it’s important to understand what the world border is and how it works. The world border is a virtual fence that surrounds the world, preventing players from building beyond a certain point. By default, the world border is set at X=29999984 and Z=29999984.
Why Make a World Border?
There are several reasons why you might want to make a world border:
- Prevent Endless Building: Without a world border, players can build infinitely in any direction. This can lead to massive structures that take up too much of the world.
- Prevent Conflicts: If multiple players or worlds are connected, the world border can prevent conflicts by restricting building to a specific area.
- Improve Performance: With a world border, the game only needs to generate blocks within that area, which can improve performance.
How to Make a World Border
Making a world border in Minecraft Bedrock is a relatively simple process. Here’s how to do it:
- Open the Game : Open Minecraft Bedrock on your device.
- Open the Chat Box : Press the
/key to open the chat box. - Type the Command : Type the following command
/gamerule doLimitedLayers trueand press Enter. - Set the Border : You can set the world border to any X and Z coordinates you like, as long as they are within the default range (X=0 to 29999984 and Z=0 to 29999984).
- Example Command : To set the world border to X=12345 and Z=67890, use the following command
/gamerule maxBuildHeight 300and/gamerule maxPlayerX 12345and/gamerule maxPlayerZ 67890.
- Example Command : To set the world border to X=12345 and Z=67890, use the following command
- Save and Exit : Once you’ve set the world border, exit the game and restart it to apply the changes.
Tips and Tricks
- Use a Coordinate Calculator : If you need to calculate the coordinates for your world border, you can use a coordinate calculator like Notch’s Coordinate Calculator or Minecraft Coordinates.
- Create a Border Box : To create a rectangular border, use the
/gamerule maxPlayerX,/gamerule maxPlayerZ, and/gamerule minPlayerXand/gamerule minPlayerZcommands to set the X and Z coordinates of the top-left and bottom-right corners of the box. - Prevent Cheating : With a world border, players won’t be able to build beyond the boundary. However, they can still try to fly or use other cheats to bypass the boundary. To prevent this, you can enable the
/gamerule hardcorecommand, which will prevent players from flying or using other cheats.
