How to bridge Minecraft: You have just finished building your luxury home in Minecraft, Mojang’s popular sandbox title, but you realized something was missing. So you thought about creating a flow of water around your home but, unfortunately, you don’t know how to make the bridge that you should install on the latter. Things are exactly this way, am I right? Well, then you will be happy to know that you have come to the right place at the right time!
In today’s tutorial, in fact, I will explain how to bridge Minecraft giving you all the useful information to build both a common bridge and an advanced structure capable of being activated almost automatically. I will not fail to illustrate everything you need to find the necessary materials in Survival mode and to speed up the procedure through the use of some mods.
Courage: why are you still standing still in front of the screen? Are you going to create this bridge? In my opinion, yes, since you have come this far and are reading this guide with interest. So come on: all you have to do is take a few minutes of free time, make yourself comfortable and follow the quick instructions below. I can assure you that you will be able to reach your goal in a flash. Having said that, there is nothing else for me to do, except to wish you happy reading and enjoy!
Collect the necessary materials
Before going into detail about the procedure on how to bridge Minecraft, I think you may be interested to know more about the places and ways to find the necessary materials to create this structure in a modality Survival. I remind you that in Creative mode you already have everything you need within the inventory, so you don’t have to collect any materials.
Well, to make a common bridge in Survival mode you need the following materials: Oak wood, fir steps, oak steps, fir fences, fir boards, fir slabs, torches is buckets of water.
To build, instead, a automatic bridge, you will need: sticky slippers, redstone boosters, redstone powder, quartz blocks, levers is buckets of water.
If you want to proceed in Survival mode, you must know that most of the materials necessary for the construction of the pool are obtained simply by playing Minecraft. Probably the most difficult element to find in Mojang’s title is the redstone powder, which is obtained by extracting it from the rough redstone or by collecting it within the trunks scattered throughout the game world.
In any case, I advise you to use a convenient external tool to understand how to obtain certain materials: I am referring to MineSearch: a website that allows you to search for an element and discover all the materials necessary to create it in Minecraft.
To use MineSearch, all you have to do is connect to his first page, write in the search bar (top right) the name of the element you need and select the result more relevant.
In doing so, the will appear on the screen combination of objects that you will have to use to obtain the element you are trying to create. I can assure you that, using this tool, you will be able to find all the materials needed to build your bridge (or your automatic bridge) in a flash.
How to create a bridge on Minecraft
Creating a common bridge on Minecraft is not that difficult, taking the right precautions. The first thing you need to do is create a 6 x 13 block hole.
Now, leave 3 free blocks on the left, break 2 blocks of land and position us 2 oak units. Then square 1 oak unit above the rightmost block.
At this point, position 2 fir steps to the right of the oak wood.
After that, it recreates the same structure composed of oak woods also on the right, so that everything is mirrored.
Then place some oak steps on top of the taller oak blocks.
Next, place, both right and left, 2 units of fir fence, starting from the block of oak wood left free.
Once this is done, go down to the hole you created earlier, break the lower blocks and replace them with 2 units of fir boards.
Now, recreate the same structure, moving to the other side of the hole.
After that, position 4 blocks of oak in front of the outermost blocks of the structure, both right and left.
Once this is done, place a row of 4 units of fir boards at the base of the structure.
Then square 4 fir steps above the row of fir boards that you placed earlier.
Remember to keep keeping the “updated” too right side of the hole.
Now, place units of Oak wood behind the steps at the top of the structure.
Then extend the “staircase” with others 2 oak steps.
Then move to the back of the structure and place others 2 oak steps starting from the upper blocks.
Don’t forget to do the same also for the structure on the right, in order to make the two mirror constructions.
Next, join the two structures by using fir slabs, just creating a bridge.
Now, piazza delle fir slabs also on top of oak blocks.
Then create a connection between one part of the bridge and the other through the fir fences, this is on the right and on the left.
You just have to put some torches on top of the fir fences and you’re done.
To make the construction more beautiful, you can also fill the hole below using a bucket of water.
Perfect, now you can enjoy yours bridge in Minecraft!
How to create an automatic bridge on Minecraft
How do you say? Would you like to create a slightly more advanced structure, which is also able to raise and lower the bridge? No problem, I’ll explain how to do it right away.
Start by making a 6 x 13 block hole on the ground, the depth is equal to 3 blocks.
After that, square 2 rows of sticky pistons in the central part of the hole.
So dig 2 blocks to the right and left of the sticky pistons and place a row of redstone boosters and a row of redstone powder.
At this point, place gods quartz blocks above the sticky pistons and sides of the hole.
Next, he creates “steps” made of quartz blocks to exit the structure and place it above the redstone powder, continuing the initial path.
Now, place one lever on the block visible above.
Then join the right and left sides around the pistons continuing the path of the redstone.
In some versions of Minecraft, the redstone may not be able to reach all the pistons. So you may have to accomplish 2 levers, one to raise the left part of the bridge and one to raise the right part.
Once this is done, cover the whole hole with quartz blocks, being careful not to “turn off” the redstone or damage the underground structure.
At this point, fill the hole with a bucket of water.
Then run to activate the levers And that’s it.
Great, now you can enjoy yours almost automatic bridge. Clearly, what I have shown you is only a base and can be customized according to your needs.

Mod to make a bridge on Minecraft
Over the years, Minecraft gamers have been among the most active in making mod. Therefore, a mod that allows you to quickly create bridges cannot be missing. Well, it is called Rope Bridge and allows, in particular, to build bridges between one top of a mountain and another.
Remembering that this type of mod only works on the edition Java of the title of Mojang, my advice is to use the version 1.12.2 of the video game, since usually the mods made for this build are stable and do not create problems with the gaming experience.
To download the mod, just connect to the Curseforge website and press on the button Download, present alongside the writing relating to Minecraft version in your possession. Now, wait a few seconds and a file called will be downloaded to your computer ropebridge-[versione].jar, which you need to move / copy to the Minecraft mod folder. Up Windows, the path to put the jar file is C: Users [nome utente] AppData Roaming .minecraft modswhile on MacOS is ~ / Library / Application Support / minecraft / mods.
In certain contexts, in order for the mod to work properly, it may be necessary to install the Forge profile. To do this, all you have to do is go to the Forge official website and press on the voice Installer. To get Forge for a “dated” version of Minecraft (like 1.12.2), just press the button Show all Version.
Once the download is complete, you just have to open the file forge-[versione]-installer.jar obtained, select the item Install Client and press on OK. Great, you have now successfully installed the Forge profile on Minecraft.
Once this is done, start the Minecraft Launcher and select the Forge profile through thedown arrow icon, present on the left, next to the button PLAYS. Once in the game, possibly in mode creative, push the button IS keyboard and take the object Bridge Building Gun.
At this point, go to the top of a mountain and press on a block present on the other side. This will automatically create a bridge.
Perfect! Now you just have to enjoy the construction just made. Since you are interested in Minecraft, I would advise you to take a look at the page of my site dedicated to the title of Mojang, where you will find many tutorials that may be useful for you to continue the adventure.
