Last updated
Ever wondered how to start building your dream castle or a simple cozy cottage in Minecraft? A critical step is knowing how to place blocks, the building blocks (pun intended) of all structures in Minecraft.
Let’s dive into the basics of placing blocks in Minecraft, ensuring you’re ready to start constructing your masterpiece.
Quick Guide on Placing Blocks in Minecraft
Placing blocks in Minecraft is simple! All you need is to have the block you want to place in your inventory. Then, select it on your quick access bar at the bottom of the screen. Next, point your cursor at the spot where you want the block to go. If you’re playing on a PC or Mac, you’ll right-click to place the block. On consoles like Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch, you’ll press the right trigger button. Meanwhile, tapping the screen places a block for touchscreen devices.
This process allows you to stack blocks next to each other, on top of each other, or in any configuration your heart desires. With the diverse types of blocks available, you can create practically anything!
