How To Set A World Border In Minecraft Bedrock

This commodity is about the customizable border. For the physical edge of the playable earth, see Globe boundary. For the phenomenon that existed before Beta 1.8, run across Far Lands. For the command, come across Commands/worldborder.

Not to be dislocated with Edge.

The globe border is the current edge of a Minecraft dimension.

Appearance [ ]

The globe border from the exterior using the /tp command.

The world edge appears as a serial of animated, diagonal, narrow stripes.

The globe edge is tinted depending on how how size changes. When the border is non moving, the stripes are a translucent aqua color. If the edge is expanding, the stripes announced green (the translucency of this light-green is unknown); if the border is shrinking, the lines announced scarlet (the translucency of this red is likewise unknown). If the earth edge is moving but its size is not changing, what color it appears every bit is unknown.^{[ more than information needed ]}

The earth border appears different depending on the electric current graphics setting, which is very likely non intended;^[1] on Fast and Fancy information technology appears every bit low-cal and translucent, but on Fabulous! it appears considerably darker.

Size [ ]

The world border is essentially a giant bounding box; by default, its heart lies at coordinates above Y: 255.

With commands, the size and position of the border can be modified. The globe border always behaves in total block increments, even if it is fix to a partial cake. Its default size and location remain the aforementioned across all three default dimensions. Custom dimensions tin have individual sizes. If it is in the Under, information technology appears red, regardless of whether the border is expanding, shrinking or not moving.

Effects [ ]

On entities [ ]

Most entities, with exception to some projectiles , are unable to move through the earth border.

If a dispenser or dropper is placed then that it directly faces the edge of the edge, then items, projectiles, TNT, etc. can exist fired exterior of the edge of the border. Any items fired out of a dispenser float in midair; if an item is dropped from the player inventory, the detail falls ordinarily.

If a mob is spawned from a dispenser via a spawn egg, the mob behaves normally. Spiders tin can climb the world border, and endermen tin can teleport outside of information technology.

Any players on the outside of the world border (with exception to those in Creative or Spectator manner) take constant damage every bit long as they are outside the border. The amount of impairment depends on the distance to the border.

While players themselves cannot motility through the globe border, even if they manage to become ahead of chunk loading, they can attain the other side of the globe edge through other means, including:

Letting the world border pass them every bit it is shrinking
Throwing an ender pearl through the world border
Mounting a minecart, boat, horse, or pig
Using commands such every bit /teleport.
Sleeping next to the world border
Consuming Chorus Fruit near the world border and being teleported beyond information technology.
Dying and respawning, if the spawn betoken is outside the world border

Entities cannot spawn naturally outside the world border. They persist without taking damage if they spawned before the world border gets shrunk by a command.

On blocks [ ]

Players cannot normally place and destroy blocks, nor interact with objects outside of the world edge, as in that location are no hitboxes. It is possible to place blocks outside of the globe border, either past placing the cake against ane that is inside the earth border or past using commands.

Most blocks all the same function outside the world border, and almost redstone contraptions still function equally well. Exceptions include falling blocks (such as sand and gravel), which driblet every bit an item, and pistons or hoppers, which but don't function. Explosions from TNT and other sources also work usually, destroying terrain outside of the border. Light from torches and other sources also remain unaffected.

Liquids period through the globe border, so long as they are placed *within* the edge.

Liquids can menses through the edge and go along flowing until reaching their flow limit. Liquids cannot be placed on the outside of the border.^[ii] Liquids placed via a dispenser menstruum equally normal. Mixing water and lava with a dispenser results in the menstruum of each liquid abruptly ending, presumably because the stone, cobblestone, or obsidian that would normally generate does not.

When gear up to invalid values [ ]

The earth edge size tin be inverse by manually editing the level.dat file. In any instance, there remains a world boundary at 30 million blocks on both the X and Z axes.

When ready to a negative number, the unabridged globe is treated as exterior the world border, and the border warning overlay appears throughout the world. No blocks tin exist mined and entities accept harm unless they are within the edge safe zone.
When set to NaN, the entire world is treated as exterior the world edge, simply no edge warning appears. No blocks can be mined, even in Artistic fashion, although entities do not take damage.
When set to infinity, the edge occurs usually.

Commands [ ]

Set: /worldborder set <sizeInBlocks> [timeInSeconds]; Sets the border to a square region with the specified size in blocks as the width and length. Optionally, a timeInSeconds may be specified such that the edge grows or shrinks from the previous width to that being set up over the specified time in seconds. If timeInSeconds is not specified, the globe border changes immediately. To reset the world border size, ready sizeInBlocks to 59,999,968. The border notwithstanding grows or shrinks and the animation displays fifty-fifty if the game is paused.

Middle: /worldborder middle <x> <z>; Sets the heart of the area within the earth border to the specified <x> and <z> coordinates. Tilde (~) can be used every bit a relative coordinate. To reset the globe border heart, ready both <x> and <z> to 0 (nothing).

Add together: /worldborder add <sizeInBlocks> [timeInSeconds]; Adds or subtracts sizeInBlocks to/from the current world edge width and length. sizeInBlocks may be a positive or negative number. Optionally, a timeInSeconds may be specified such that the edge grows or shrinks from the current width to that being ready over the specified time in seconds.

Harm: /worldborder harm buffer <sizeInBlocks>; Sets the number of blocks a actor may safely be outside the world border before taking damage. The default is v blocks.

/worldborder damage amount <damagePerBlock>

Sets the corporeality of damage a player takes when outside the world border plus the earth border buffer. The default is 0.2 harm per second per block.

Alert: /worldborder warning time <timeInSeconds>; Causes the screen to be tinted reddish when a contracting globe border reaches the player within the specified time. The default is xv seconds. The tint does not display if the user is using fast graphics.

/worldborder alarm distance <sizeInBlocks>

Causes the screen to be tinted red when the player is inside the specified number of blocks from the world border. The default is five blocks. The tint does non display if the user is using fast graphics.

Get: /worldborder become; Returns the electric current width of the world border.

	14w26a	"Add" control added.
	14w29a	"Get" control added, which shows the electric current size of the edge.

	?	The world edge no longer follows the player vertically, but is still correctly displayed outside of the world height bounds.
	21w13a	The world border'due south faces are now all identically oriented, resulting in no 5 or ^ shapes forming at two corners.^[4]
	21w17a	The world border size is now stored as a double instead of a float.^[5]
	21w17a	The max globe border size has been shrunk to the value it would always maximally appear at, and cannot be set above that value with commands.

Problems [ ]

Problems relating to "Globe edge" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report bug in that location.

Trivia [ ]

The reason the default globe border is at X/Z ±29,999,984 is due to the fact that Dinnerbone put it 1 chunk (xvi blocks) short of the edge to preclude falling through the world.^[half-dozen]
- Despite this, it became impossible to fall through the world at high distances in early 1.7 evolution, over one-half a year before the world border's implementation.
Were a Minecraft world wrapped around with the borders together, the resulting planet has a circumference of 60000 kilometres or 9549 kilometres in radius, twice as large as Globe.
