Breaking bedrock is typically impossible in standard gameplay, but specific techniques and glitches exist that allow players to bypass or break this normally indestructible block. One such method involves the use of a piston and a minecart.
The Piston and Minecart Method Explained
This method utilizes a game mechanic or glitch where dismounting a rideable entity can sometimes interact strangely with solid blocks, allowing passage or breaking. It is particularly effective for getting through the topmost layer of bedrock found at the top of the game world.
Step-by-Step Guide to Breaking Bedrock
Follow these precise steps to perform the piston and minecart bedrock breaking technique based on the provided reference:
- Find Position: Locate a spot just below the topmost Bedrock layer.
- Place Piston: Place a piston so that it is pointing upwards, directly below the Bedrock block you intend to bypass or break.
- Add Rail and Minecart: Place a rail on top of the piston head. Then, place a minecart on the rail.
- Remove Rail: Destroy the rail. The minecart should now be sitting directly on the piston head.
- Extend Piston: Provide a redstone signal to extend the piston. This action will push the minecart upwards, crushing it slightly into the Bedrock block situated above it.
- Enter Minecart: Jump in the minecart.
- Dismount: While inside the Bedrock, dismount from the minecart. If executed correctly, you should now be positioned either above or past the Bedrock layer.
Required Items
To attempt this method, you will need the following basic items:
- 1x Piston (sticky or regular)
- 1x Rail
- 1x Minecart
- 1x Redstone source (like a lever, button, or redstone torch)
This method provides a way to interact with bedrock layers that would otherwise be impassable, allowing access to areas above the build limit or past bedrock barriers.
