World border


Info

Trivia

  • The reason the default world border is at X/Z ⃂℅29,999,984 is because Dinnerbone put it 1 chunk (16 blocks) short of the edge to prevent falling through the world.

Appearance

The world border appears as animated, diagonal, narrow stripes. When the border is not moving, the stripes are a translucent aqua color. If the border is expanding, the stripes appear green; if the border is contracting, the lines appear red.

Size

The world border is essentially a giant bounding box; by default, its center lies at coordinates x:0, z:0, with a width and length of almost 30 million (29,999,984) blocks from both ends. Its effects cease at an altitude Chart lining up Y-coordinate values (left) to block layers (right). Altitude is a measurement of vertical distance, or distance along the Y-axis.

With commands, the size and position of the border can be modified. The world border always behaves in full block increments, even if it is set to a partial block. Its default size and location remain the same across all three dimensions Dimensions may refer to: The Overworld - The starting dimension in Minecraft. The Nether - The hellish dimension accessible by entering a nether portal from the Overworld. The End - The dimension with floating end .
