How do I place a command block?

Community Answer

Either do /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:command_block (to place one directly where you are standing) or /give [your username] minecraft:command_block (to insert the command block item into your inventory).

Question

My sister's Minecraft keeps lagging and crashing. What can I do to help?

Community Answer

While deleting and reinstalling Minecraft may help, there are other things you can do. You can close other programs and apps you aren't using or turn on game mode if that's an option available on your device. You can also go to Minecraft settings and turn down the quality of the game and turn off or reduce things like render distance, particles, clouds, shadows, etc., to help the game run faster. Also, if you're on Java Edition, installing Optifine can help.

Question

How do you place a block in minecraft on a computer?

Amrith Center

Community Answer

For both the Windows and Dell (Java Edition), the block that you want to place the other object on, highlight it. There should be a thin border that is black when you've highlighted a block. Then click the block and place it. Remember that you should place the + sign on the highlighted block.

If you are on Mac, you can: Use the touchpad (click bottom-right corner) or connect a mouse to your Mac and use that. Another option is to press Control and click the touchpad.

Question

How do I place a block upside down? I have been trying for a while now and I still haven't figured it out.

Aaron Zhou

Community Answer

First, dig a 2-block hole under the place you want to place your block. Go into the hole, look up at the block above you, then place.

How do I remove a block in Minecraft?

Aaron Zhou

Community Answer

Just hold your click. If you are in creative mode, just click once. If you are in spectator or adventure, you can't break.

Question

What happens if instead of placing a block, it knocks one down?

Aaron Zhou

Community Answer

That just means you're left clicking. You have to right click. If you are using a touchpad, just make sure you're clicking the bottom right corner. If you're using a mouse, then click the right side only.
