How To Make A 3×3 Pickaxe In Minecraft

Hello i’m fbx toy cat and it can often be faster to mine and survival than to mining creative this is me holding down my left mouse button all of the way as you can see it’s pretty fast because we’re playing it creative but the same pickaxe in the same world in the same

Place mine’s this much faster in survival therefore obviously all the time you want to mine quickly you’ve got to switch out into survival however obviously that isn’t going to work all the time and there’s a little bit of a secret you can use because this is creative and you have access to commands

To make things just a bit easier for yourself and here is an easy step-by-step tutorial the first thing you want to do to make a three by three pickaxe is to go into an anvil and a pair and name your pickaxe free by free this does absolutely nothing to change

The pickaxe but it will make you feel cooler about the way the mechanism actually works because it is as simple as commands when you’re playing in creative you can use command blocks which you can give to yourself by going slash give a s command underscore block

This is one of those few blocks in the game which cannot be obtained any other way besides using a command itself and then once you place it down there’s two quick changes you’re going to need to make one is to turn it into a repeat command block and one is to turn off

Needs redstone or you could give it redstone but you get the point now you want to type execute and then at p so nearest player you could do for everyone but let’s do the nearest player and then fit and then you want to make sure that

It knows to do around you using three little squiggly lines type fill and then squiggly line uh one and then put a one after it squiggly line two and then squiggly line one then you want to type squiggly line uh minus one squiggly line squiggly line minus one and then uh

It’ll be air uh destroy air zero uh destroy you know actually replace uh no yeah yeah we wanna we want to replace uh whatever else we get no no no we’re just destroying stuff so we’re going to destroy any block in our path replacing it like that and so now this is

Activating every time we’re somewhere which means we pull out that three by three mega pick which is definitely doing all the work and as you can see when we minor that it magically will make ourselves in fact if i go right here show a better example if we mine of

It in any direction it will magically make right behind us a tunnel in fact it doesn’t just make the tunnel it physically is mining for you as you can see making this really cool little uh way of making a very wide tunnel around you which is just so so useful so let me

Show you again just over here so we can make two kind of side-by-side tunnels let’s go mining you don’t actually need to the mining it’s the command block doing all the work and now we’ve made two very wonderful tunnels uh side by side which would have taken a long time

When we’re in creative or survival but we have the magic that is uh using command blocks to help us so much and so now what you can actually do if you want to come back to this thing is you can up those same numbers from one to let’s

Call it like i don’t know three on each side making a seven by seven uh pickaxe because the exact same thing can apply in all of these so just add as much as you want to any side of this and now what it will actually do is it will mine

A seven by seven hole around me meaning that if i play upwards like here and we kind of run through the mountain you’ll notice that we now have a 7×7 hole appearing around us which is really cool for making this square effect but i know what you’re thinking wow making a 7×7

Pickaxe is amazing toy cat however if you’re making a hole for a mountain this big first of all having this many items drop can be a little bit annoying but second of all um it feels as though you actually don’t want to make a perfect

Hole like this you want to be making a hole that looks more natural and so my pro tip for this is take the 7×7 air quotes pickaxe and you want to work upwards through the mountain uh kind of fly up as you’re going and this will

Make a much more natural feeling hull if you still feel like it’s not natural enough and oh god look at those frame rates uh it’s kind of unnatural so we kind of just fly back through here kind of swirling back and forth to make sure

That it kind of fits that out and now you’ve made a much more natural hole for a mountain than the slash fill command alone could ever do also this will work any time you’re in your simulation distance of the command block but it won’t work outside of that because again

Uh as fun as it is i i had a couple of people try to tell me this is definitely the pickaxe doing the job uh as fun as it is it is something that is powered by the command block and not by the magic

Of your pickaxe as fun as it would be if it is true so what else can you do in a creative mode that you really can’t do in survival in any way that most people don’t know about most people use creative mode just as a block editing

Tool so there’s all sorts of things you can do such as if the game gets laggy from blocks on the ground you can do something that you’ll probably regret by typing slash kill see every single entity in the world will die which will clear up any lag that you’re having so

You know it’s the it’s the nuclear solution but sometimes you need nuclear solutions to things and another one that you might not know about is as well as having the command block which is a creative only option there’s also access to the light block it’s actually just it’s called the light underscore block

And you need to type uh the amount you want but then also the data so you want the light block 115 because if you if you type just slash give it self light block this is what you get oh i mean i apparently didn’t get one if you type

Slash give light block you get one of these which gives zero light anywhere which makes it useless it just kind of it’s it just breaks immediately i don’t know why that is actually uh but the light block 15 what you can do oh it’s breaking because it’s within a radius of

Me where that happens so there you can see this is light block 15. only visible when holding it it is a really cool block that lets you know where lighting is coming from but also can seem like nothing it’s real spooky it obviously is overridden by other light sources should

They exist but it’s a really cool idea regardless to make smooth natural lighting without having to use light sources like i did down here so anyway speaking of cool things oh look at that you can see them drop too but speaking of cool things you can do

There is also another block which is so so handy i’m going to turn off this command block really quickly because it’s going a bit crazy so if you just want to turn this thing off all you have to do is type needs redstone and now my magic pickaxes that weren’t ever magic

Pickaxes have stopped being magic pickaxes the final thing that you can do in creative that you might not have known about is called the structure block so structure underscore block there’s also structure underscore void which you know we can play with that some of the time the structure block is

So useful for copy and pasting and a lot of people don’t take full advantage of it because it does seem really really complex but again i’m here to give you the simple tools to make really simple things work the average players can use in creative mode to make it better than

Survival so uh yeah basically it makes a size block around it as you can see this is a kind of cube and this is the cube that you’ll be copy and pasting from so in my case let’s say i want to copy a particular savanna tree that i just find

To be so appealing this one right here is so good that i want to copy paste it everywhere and so we place our structure block down such that it is in the right coordinates roughly and then we just size up the box so it fits so we’ll make

It i don’t know nine by nine by nine that should cover the right area for the tree right also there’s a sheep being included in that so that’s fine now you can see i’ve got the entire tree oh not the entire tree yet now you can see i’ve

Got basically the entire tree inside this box we’ll make it 10 by 10 on the on the x and z i’ve got this entire tree in the box now what i can do is i can save this as acacia tree this is a tree is probably a

Bad example of what to do this with and we can save this in memory just like that and now if we load my structure acacia but we load it i don’t know like a hundred blocks away from here um let’s see if we can do that

Uh where is 100 blocks away from here on the x-axis i guess it’d be over here somewhere in that mountain so let’s load it ten blocks away from here to make this a little bit easier okay there you can see now now that’s where the copy paste is gonna happen we’ve done our

Copy by making the box and pressing save and now by pressing load we’re doing the paste copy and paste and so now you press export i actually that opened it in my game what you do is you press load and now we’ve copied this exact same

Tree but over here this can obviously be done for trees which is maybe not so impressive because everyone knows trees are very easy to build yourself but if you take these uh structure blocks and you take them to something the size of say a mountain you can do really silly

Things like copy mountain terrain or you can make mountain terrain vanish the same way but you can copy a mountain that you really like over and over and over again so i i really really like this mountain right here and i want to copy it so what you can actually do as

Insane as it is probably going to seem is you can take that same block you can make it 50 by 25 uh by 50. so now we’ve got a genuine mountain we actually go way over the edge of the mountain but we’ve got a genuine mountain and we can

Save this actually we’ll also change the offset to be plus one so it doesn’t save our structure block in there we can now save this mountain as you know acacia mountain because it’s got a location tree on there and once we save that in memory we can now press load we can make

The offset 50 so we’re changing where the box is to be 50 blocks up and now what that does is when we hit load it places our mount in there blocked by that was way too high up actually let’s say we place this 25 blocks higher in

The sky so we go 25 blocks offset and we press load and now look at that our mountain that we love so much is copy pasted again and again and again and obviously you can use this for much more useful things than a mountain i think a

Village is a great example or something that is intricate um even something that you make yourself can be easily duplicated this way so let’s say you’re making this beautiful pattern let’s say you really like uh concrete for example i don’t know why but i’m absolutely obsessed with the way that blue and

White concrete tile together it just looks so good in my opinion like i love the way this pattern works but as you can tell doing this even in creative mode is going to take you some serious time so what you want to do is you want to use the structure block you know

Structure block here to save save the day with everything and you want to place your structure block in such a way that it covers the entire area and now uh i guess we’ll actually we’ll make this size one so it only covers the ground underneath so now we

Now we can save our little tiling thing in memory we can call it uh what is this fun pattern it doesn’t actually matter what you call them honestly as long as you’re doing it immediately so i definitely spelt pattern correctly there and now we just offset this by five blocks and we load

It into the oh i guess we didn’t correctly dirt but as you can see we load it into the sky and as long as you do it in even numbers rather than on numbers i guess so we’ll offset that by four i guess then uh oh no no no not

Export you want to just press load as you can see we’ve tiled it now we do it by eight and so we just keep on adding actually i guess we’ll do by nine maybe and we’ll load it there did we do that no no we want to use even

Numbers every time so we’ll use eight this time and then we’ll load it and then we’ll use 12 this time and we’ll load it and then we’ll start using four on this side and we’ll load it and then we’ll just start doing eight on this

Side and we’ll load it and then we’ll go down to eight on this side and then as long as you’re doing this what you can do effectively is what i’m trying to say is you can make this same pattern but perfectly tiling it and copy and paste

Over and over again and so yeah just three simple creative tools using three simple creative blocks can do all sorts of magic because now as you’re placing all of that you’re getting a lot of darkness you know what could fix that using the light block there you go did

You know minecraft oh wow they’ve made this block so much cooler since it first came out did you know minecraft has all sorts of useful uh blocks that are in creative mode that most people don’t know they can access and that are the underpinnings of most major maps and if

You ever see someone do something amazing that looks like it would take so long even in creative mode odds are there is a tool that can help them with it i think one of the evolutions of minecraft that people haven’t realized is that survival has changed so much

Over the last uh you know 10 years or so since it’s been added but also creative mode has changed quite substantially too because there are always people who are looking to edit and do things in a faster and more efficient way than before and uh yeah it’s fun because

Sometimes you miss all those advancements in the same way you might miss all the advancements in the redstone worlds and it’s fun sometimes just to look at them and see the easiest things to play with because like with everything there is a whole world going on inside of minecraft but specifically

There’s a whole world going on inside of just creative mode that you might have missed that i certainly always miss various things from and i hope that you found it interesting for me to go through and show you how you can do stuff like this uh without using external editors

Because minecraft is pretty powerful as it so turns out anyway thank you very much for watching i hope you all enjoyed uh let me know if you want to see more old school style tutorials where it’s just here’s some quick things you can do or if you hated it because either way

I’ll see you next time goodbye You
