Minecraft: guides, crafting, seeds and redstone

From your first night to automated farms: recipes, enchantments, working seeds, redstone builds and explanations of what the game never tells you.

Tools

  • Nether Portal Coordinate Calculator

    Enter your coordinates and the calculator works out the matching point in the other dimension, plus the square the game will search for an existing portal.

  • Enchantment Calculator

    Pick a bookshelf count and the calculator shows the range each of the three slots can cost in experience levels.

  • Circle and Sphere Generator

    Set the diameters and the generator lays out the shape block by block, then counts how many blocks the whole thing takes.

  • Mob Spawning Calculator

    Enter the distance, the light levels and the number of active chunks, and the calculator tells you whether mobs will spawn and how many the cap will hold.

    Pick a potion effect, its variant and its form — the calculator lays out the recipe step by step and works out the exact duration.

    Enter X, Y, Z and the calculator instantly shows the chunk, the region, the save file and the block position inside each of them.

  • Experience (XP) / Level Calculator

    Pick what you're entering — a level or a total XP amount — and the calculator works out the other value, your progress toward the next level, and the gap to a target level.

  • /tellraw and /title Command Generator

    Add one or more text segments with color and style, optionally a click action and hover tooltip, pick a target and a command type — the tool assembles the full console or command-block line right away.

    Click any color or style below to copy its code, or build a server message in the editor with color, bold and italic, and get four ready output formats at once.

  • Villager Trades (Java Edition)

    Pick a profession and level, or search by item name — the table shows what the villager wants and what it gives in return, and the planner below totals the emeralds for the trades you pick.

  • Minecraft Map Art Pixel Art Generator

    Pick a file from your device, choose a size and palette mode — the tool matches every pixel to the closest map color and counts how many pixels of each block appear in the image itself (not counting staircase support blocks or the map's north reference row).

  • Ore distribution by height (Y)

    Pick ores and a dimension — the tool works out which Y level has the densest generation for each one, and charts every selected ore.

    Enter an amount of items (or chests, or shulker boxes) and the calculator instantly shows the equivalent in every other container, plus the most compact way to pack it all.

  • Armor & Damage Calculator

    Build your armor set, enter the hit’s strength and type, and see how much health it takes and how many of those hits it takes to kill you.

    Enter your current hunger, pick a food and see how many to eat and what happens to your hunger bar and saturation.

  • Weapon Damage & DPS Calculator

    Pick a weapon, an enchantment and a target to see normal and critical hit damage, the cooldown, damage per second and how many hits it takes to beat a target in armor.

  • Best Enchantment Order for the Anvil

    Tick the enchantments you want and get a step-by-step plan: which books to combine first and in what order to put them on the item.

  • Durability Calculator: Unbreaking and Mending

    Pick an item and an Unbreaking level to see how many uses it survives on average and how much XP Mending needs to repair it.

  • Beacon Calculator

    Pick a level and a material — the calculator counts blocks per layer, ingots to craft them, the range and the effects the beacon unlocks.

    Find an item, enter how many you need, and get the raw material list and the crafting order.

  • Fortune Calculator

    Pick an ore or block, a Fortune level and how many blocks you mine — the calculator shows the average drop and the exact odds.

  • Day Time Calculator

    Enter the time from /time query daytime and the day number — the calculator shows the game clock, what is happening in the world and how long until night, sleep or morning.
