Well, there are items, tools, and features that you request from Minecraft by using the required command for that thing. A clone is one such command that allows you to copy or move a specific region of blocks from one place to another.
Commands are one of the really easy and cool ways of adding the items, tools and performing other useful things in the Minecraft gameplay.
In this process given below, we will be considering the way of using the clone command to perform a certain action in the gameplay.
How to place the clone command in Minecraft?
Before we move to the actual process of using the clone command in Minecraft, let us know the varying editions that are used by Minecraft players around the world.
It is really good to know the editions that support the process which we are going to follow. So that we don’t have to regret at the end of the process after knowing that the process does not work in our edition.
The editions of Minecraft that support the process of using the clone command in Minecraft are;
Java Edition- 1.8
Pocket Edition- 0.16.0
Xbox One- 1.2
PS4- 1.14
Nintendo Switch- 1.5
Windows 10 Edition- 0.16.0
Education Edition- 1.0
So these are the editions of Minecraft that allow you to use the clone command.
Now moving to the actual process of using the clone command we have;
- Opening the chat Window
The very first step towards the process of using the clone command in Minecraft is by opening the chat window there. As you will need to open the chat window for running the command.
Moreover, performing the command inside the chat window is really a simple and efficient way.
The process of opening the chat window in the Minecraft gameplay does differ with different editions of Minecraft. You will need to perform a different process for opening the command in one edition than you will in any other edition.
The process of opening the chat window in different editions of Minecraft are;
Java Edition
For opening the chat window in the Java Edition, you need to press the key T on your keyboard.
Pocket Edition
You need to press the chat window icon present on the Minecraft screen in your respective device.
Xbox One
For opening the chat window in your Xbox one edition of Minecraft, press the D pad button available on your controllers.
PS4
You need to press the D’Pad button on your controller for opening the chat window in your PS4 edition of Minecraft.
Nintendo Switch
For opening the chat window in your respective Nintendo Switch edition of Minecraft, press the video icon indicated by the half right arrow button on the controller.
Windows 10 and Education Edition
For opening the chat window in the Windows 10 and Education Edition of Minecraft, you need to press the key T on your respective keyboard.
Si these were the required steps for opening the chat window in the varying editions of Minecraft.
Now that we have opened the chat window in our respective editions of Minecraft, let us consider the required clone formula for using in the gameplay.
Clone Command
The clone command is used to copy the blocks of a region to some other place or destination in Minecraft.
There are two sets of formulas for using the clone command in Minecraft.
The formula for copying the initial region to the destination region is;
/clone < begin> <end> < destination>
{Replace ; masked}
{Normal ; face ; move}
Here, the terms begin, end, destination, replace, move, masked, normal, and face have different meanings and implications here.
Begin, refers to the starting point of the area that you want to copy to some other destination. You need to mention the coordinates of the starting point.
End, refers to the ending point of the area that you wish to copy to the destination point. You need to mention the coordinates of the end point there.
Destination, refers to the starting point, where you wish to add the required region of the blocks.
Replace, is used to clone all the blocks inside the area that you want to copy including the air.
Masked, is used to clone the blocks and not the air inside the area that you have requested to copy.
Force, is used to force clone the source and destination region.
Normal, is used to clone the blocks from the source point to the destination point.
So, this was the formula for cloning the initial region to the destination region in Minecraft.
Now, let us move to the other formula for cloning the specific block from the source region to the destination.
The formula for cloning the specific block in the source region to the clone region is;
/clone <begin> < end > < destination >
filtered <title name>
<Normal ; face ; move>
Here, the terms begin, end, destination, filtered, titleName, normal force and move have different meanings and different implications.
Begin, refers to the starting point of the area that you want to copy to some other destination. You need to mention the coordinates of the starting point.
End, refers to the ending point of the area that you wish to copy to the destination point. You need to mention the coordinates of the end point there.
Destination, refers to the starting point, where you wish to add the required region of the blocks.
Filtered, is set to filter the exact name of the block or something. It is used when you mention the name of the block in command.
TextName, refers to the exact name of the block that you want to clone.
Force, is used to force clone the source and destination region.
Normal, is used to clone the blocks from the source point to the destination point.
So these were the implications and formula for using the clone command in Minecraft.
Example of the clone command
Suppose you wish to copy the region of blocks to some known destination in Minecraft by using the clone formula.
The initial point of the region of blocks is 01 22 45, and the final or end point of the region of blocks is 11 55 76. Similarly the starting point of the area where you wish to copy the region if the block is 45 65 32.
So the clone formula for the same is
/clone 01 22 45 11 55 76 45 65 32
For shifting the same arrangement and region of the blocks to the position that is 6 blocks west and 3 blocks north.
So the clone formula for the given arrangement and change is
/clone 01 22 45 11 55 76 ~-6 ~~-3 replace move
For shifting the position of the single block named oyster from the starting position 01 22 45, and the final or end position of the block is 11 55 76. Similarly the starting point of the area where you wish to copy the block is 45 65 32.
So the clone formula for the given arrangement and change is
/clone 01 22 45 11 55 76 45 65 32
filtered oyster normal
So these were the clone formulas for copying the region of blocks to a certain position.
Now that we have known the respective for using the clone command, it’s time that we get back to the steps that we began earlier.
- Applying the Command
After you have opened the chat window and known the respective clone formulas for making the required changes. The other step of the process of using the clone command is to apply the command.
- Type the respective clone command in the chat window for performing the respective action that you wish for.
We have following clone window for performing the respective actions there;
/clone < begin> <end> < destination>
{Replace ; masked}
{Normal ; face ; move}
/clone <begin> < end > < destination >
filtered <title name>
<Normal ; face ; move>
After you have typed the clone command inside the chat window, you need to confirm the required clone command by hitting the Enter button on your respective device or edition of Minecraft.
Thereafter, the blocks will be cloned accordingly in the Minecraft gameplay. You will get to see the blocks cloned in the gameplay.
After you have completed the required process of copying the regions of blocks, you will see that the message “7200 block cloned” appears on the bottom left corner of the screen in Minecraft.
Here, you finish the process of copying the region of blocks from initial place to the final position by using the clone commands.
So that was all about using the clone command in Minecraft.
