Distances in Minecraft are quite easy to measure. Officially, [1] Minecraft uses the metric system , and each block is considered to be 1 cubic meter . When you measure long distances, it's easier to count if you mark the terrain with a space of 4 blocks between each marked block.
I'm trying to think of a good unit of measurement for road signs between these two cities I have built. The distance between the two cities is about 8,258 blocks (used the distance formula for that) and I want to figure out how I should mark that on the road signs . 8 kilometers? 800 Hectometers? Should I make up my own unit of measurement?
If you ignore the Y and just care about the distance as measured on a map then you want:-The square root of (X squared + Z squared)-(That is, the answer is: the number that multiplied by itself equals the sum of distance X multiplied by itself and distance Y multiplied by itself.)
I have emerged from the Redstone and Politics sections to bring you a simple, yet helpful hint: How to quickly measure distance. Take point A and point B Using SPC, or the ingame version, mark Point A and Point B as Pos1 and Pos2
You can use the positioned component to specify the executing position and then use distance to specify the distance from that position, in your case [distance=0..1].
All three coordinates are measured in "blocks", which are considered equivalent to meters of distance. These coordinates are interpreted as follows: X gives your distance east of the origin, and Z gives the distance south.
To start, move to a spot within 64 blocks of 0,0 (x and z coordinates should each be between -64 and 64) and activate an Empty Map (Map #0). Duplicate it and use the duplicate to craft a zoom-level 1 (Map #1). Use Map #1 to create a zoom-level 2 map (Map #2), and use that to craft a zoom-level 3 map (Map #3).
