How To Get and Use The Minecraft World Border (Updated Guide)
If you have ever wanted to stop players from wandering too far in your Minecraft world, the world border command is exactly what you need. In this guide, we will walk through every single feature of the world border command so you can master it in no time. Just keep in mind that this command only works on Java Edition and not on Bedrock or MCPE.
What Is the Minecraft World Border?
The world border is a visible boundary that stops players from leaving a certain area in your world. When you first start a world, the border is set to a massive size of around six million blocks, so you usually will not even notice it is there. With a few simple commands, you can bring it in and customise it however you like.
Setting the Center of the World Border
The first command you will want to use is the center command. By typing the following, the world border will shift to be centered on your location:
/worldborder center ~ ~
This places the middle of the border right where you are standing, which makes everything else much easier to manage.
Setting the Size of the World Border
Next, you can set how wide you want your border to be. For example, if you want a border that is 50 by 50 blocks, simply type:
/worldborder set 50
You can also make the border slowly grow or shrink over a set amount of time. The number after the size is measured in seconds. For example, to make the border expand to 100 blocks over 5 seconds, use:
/worldborder set 100 5
When the border is moving, it will glow green as it grows.
Checking the Current Border Size
If you are ever unsure how wide your world border is, just type the get command and it will tell you the current size:
/worldborder get
Adding or Removing Distance
The add command lets you add a positive or negative value to your border. To make the border move out by 10 blocks, type:
/worldborder add 10
To shrink it instead, use a negative value like this:
/worldborder add -10
Just like the set command, you can also add over time. For example, to add 10 blocks across 3 seconds:
/worldborder add 10 3
How To Remove the World Border
If you want to get rid of the border completely, simply set it to a ridiculously large value. This pushes the border so far away that you will never see it again.
Using the Damage Command
The damage command has two parts: buffer and amount.
The buffer is the distance a player must be on the other side of the border before they start taking damage. For example, setting a buffer of 10 means a player has to travel 10 blocks past the border before damage begins:
/worldborder damage buffer 10
The amount is how much damage a player takes per block past the buffer. Setting it to 0.1 means a player 11 blocks out takes 0.1 damage, and a player 12 blocks out takes even more:
/worldborder damage amount 0.1
Using the Warning Command
The warning command only works when the border is actively moving. It creates a red effect around the edges of a player’s screen to let them know the border is coming close. There are two types: distance and time.
The distance warning triggers the red effect when the border is within a certain number of blocks of the player:
/worldborder warning distance 5
The time warning triggers the red effect when the border will reach the player within a set number of seconds:
/worldborder warning time 10
Final Thoughts
And that is everything you need to know about the Minecraft world border command. While some of these features look tricky at first, once you get the hang of them they are really simple to use. Now you can set up the perfect boundary for your world and keep your players exactly where you want them.
If you found this guide helpful, be sure to try it out in your own world and start experimenting with all the different options. Happy building!
everybody it’s under my cap and welcome back to another video where today i’m going to be showing you how to use the world border video and yes i’ve done this video so many times but i just want to answer some of your questions and also outline every single feature pretty sure there’s six of them so we’re going to go through each one of them unfortunately this only works on java edition and not bedrock mcpe and yeah by the end of this video you should know how to use the world water command instantly okay so as you can see this is what the world border looks like basically a world border is there just to stop players from getting out of an area on the world now you’re probably wondering how did i get the world border here and the answer is i used two commands first of all i use the center command so as you can see if i go world border center and two squiggly lines you’ll see that the world border actually shifted and that’s because i centered the world border so uh when you first start it will look like nothing in fact let me just and now it looks like this so the second command is actually setting the distance so as you can see my uh world border here is set at a distance of a hundred when you first start your world it’s at like six million or something something ridiculous um but basically all you have to do to get it where you want it is go slash well border set and then let’s do 50. now as you can see it is 50 by 50 blocks wide and that’s because i set it to 50. now another really cool thing you can do with this is you can actually set it over a duration of time so let’s say if i wanted to make it go to 105 seconds all i’d have to do is go world border set a hundred over five seconds so the number there is just in seconds as you can see it goes green and you can see that it actually spreads out to a hundred by a hundred if at any time you’re unsure of how wide your well border is all you have to do is type in word border and gets and basically this will just tell you how wide your world border is now the last little minor one is add so basically ad will either add a positive value to your world border or add a negative value so as you can see if i go to my world border and i go well border add 10 you can see that it moved out 10 if i wanted to make it go you know negative 10 i can do negative 10 and if you want to do the same as the set which slowly makes it move over time you can actually go add let’s say 10 over 3 seconds so as you can see it’s going to add 10 blocks over three seconds if at any point you wanted to completely remove the well border all you have to do is just type in a ridiculous value to set so if i want to do let’s say um order set this number hit enter and you can see that it is completely gone so let’s get into the more difficult parts of the command now trust me they look difficult at the start but once you get the hang of it they are really easy to use so first of all let’s open up the command again and go world border and then you can see that we’ve done this so we’ve done center we’ve done get we’ve done set and add now we’ve just got damage and warning so basically damage there are two sub commands in a nutshell buffer just means the distance player has to be away from the world border to receive a damage amount on the world border so let’s say if i set a buffer up to 10 it would mean that i would have to be 10 blocks on the other side of the world border away before i start receiving damage so i’ll demonstrate that right now if i go into ammo survival i actually go out you can see that i’m not getting damaged right now because i’m like three blocks out eight nine ten so basically on the other side of this block i should receive damage so as you can see i’m getting damaged uh i probably want to go in because i might not be able to recover um but you can see i started receiving damage now the second part of the command if you didn’t notice so there was buffer and then there was damage and then there was a mount amount basically is the amount of damage it will give you per tick so if i did 0.1 it means it will give a 0.1 damage per block out of the buffer if it makes sense so if i was 11 blocks out i would receive 0.1 if i was 12 blocks out i would receive a lot more damage so i would receive an additional 0.1 per block each second now the last command is warning so basically the warning command only works if the world border is in a current moving state so as you saw before when we were adding and removing values when it was going green and red that is when the warning will work now warning works by creating a red effect around the edges of a player’s screen if the world border is going to be quite close to them so you can see if i did warning there are two types distance and time basically distance is if the world border is going to be within a distance of the player you’ll get the red effect and time is basically if the world border will um be quite close to the player within a duration of time so if i did distance of let’s say five okay well apparently that’s what it’s already at but you can see if i decided to move the world board in by let’s say 10 again over three seconds you can see my screen doesn’t really get a red effect however if i’m within that range within five so let’s go here and i move it in by three you can see that i get like a reddish effect around the screen uh it’s not really that noticeable well you can kind of see it now but it becomes red and that’s the same with time as well so if i decided to do warning with time and then i did 10 and i decided let’s say add negative 10 for 10 seconds you can see that i’m going to get that red effect around my screen now that’s about it i’m trying to keep it as short as possible if you did like the video please leave a like and subscribe we are so close to 7k it’s unbelievably ridiculous um so please help me there i am a small channel and it means a lot to that also don’t forget to leave a like and comment i really love reading through all your comments and answering a whole bunch of questions when the video is released but yeah thank you so much for watching and i can’t wait to see you in the next video see ya
