Building Bridges Without Stopping

If it were possible to build bridges in real life within a few minutes, I still wouldn’t dare to walk across them. However, the situation with such bridges in the world of Minecraft is quite different. After watching videos where experts construct bridges in mere seconds, I became obsessed with them. In game modes like BedWars and SkyWars, where every second counts, it’s crucial to learn how to create auxiliary structures as quickly as possible; otherwise, your competitors will leave you behind, quite literally.

Let’s explore how to quickly construct a bridge in Minecraft Bedrock. There are likely countless methods available, each player having their own unique trick, but we will present the most common and reliable techniques.

Ninja Bridge

As usual, we’ll start with something simple and gradually move on to more advanced methods. The first and easiest technique is known as the ninja method. To understand how it works, we need to delve into some of the mechanics of Minecraft. If you crouch and approach the edge, you won’t fall off. Try this for yourself: crouch down and slowly walk towards the edge. When you get as close as possible, you’ll notice that your character remains safe. I decided to conduct this experiment and take a screenshot for you. I approached the cliff’s edge while holding the crouch button, and at the very end, when I released it, I saw my character hovering in mid-air. Has anyone else experienced such a glitch in Minecraft?

The ninja technique enables you to create a bridge while moving backward. To achieve this, simply perform the same actions but with the squat button held down. For even greater speed, alternate between standing and sitting positions. If executed correctly, utilizing the ninja technique will allow you to move much faster. Additionally, it reduces the likelihood of falling off the bridge you construct.

In theory, it sounds quite straightforward, but timing your squats can be more challenging than it seems. If you’re interested in mastering this method, check out this video, which clearly demonstrates the practical application of the ninja technique.

Ultimately, here’s what you need to do:

1. Squat down and step back to the edge of the block.
2. Create a block in front of you.
3. Once you complete the previous action, you should immediately release the crouch button.
4. You need to keep the crouch button pressed until you reach the end of the new block.

To start, try practicing actions 2-4 at a slow pace; the key in the early stages is to ensure that all movements are executed correctly, regardless of speed. Once you have mastered quality, begin to increase your tempo. With a bit of practice, you’ll get the hang of it! To track your progress, invite a friend to Minecraft, where you can compete on bridge-building speed and enhance your skills together! The first one to construct a continuous bridge without falling wins. As for the loser… well, they might just need to climb back up first.

In other words, you should turn in the opposite direction once you’ve crossed halfway over a block. The images illustrate how this should be done properly. The image above shows that the turning point is located in the middle of a block. In this case, the carefree technique should work, preventing you from falling or backing off and leaving gaps in the bridge. Here, the image above demonstrates what NOT to do. If the turning point lies at the junction of two blocks, you will step off the edge of the bridge and fall.

If you found the carefree method of bridge building in Minecraft Bedrock easy, consider adding a twist by trying out a more complex technique—one that involves some magic. This approach is quite similar to the previous one, with just one key difference. Instead of moving straight back, you’ll be shifting upwards. Check out the tutorial video made by iLone, which explains how this magical method works.

The Bridge of God

Everything leading up to this point has revolved around mastering a new technique and developing the skill for rapid simultaneous button pressing. The God method obliterates all that you have learned before. Not everyone can master this technique, as it demands from you an extraordinarily fast placement of blocks. Your fingers will feel extremely fatigued after practicing in the style of the God technique!

Players of Minecraft Bedrock who are capable of constructing bridges using this method assure us that we need to learn to click at least 17 times per second to succeed. You won’t be able to maintain this pace for long (if anyone even can). If you dare to try, you might end up with either a broken mouse or a twitching finger for the rest of your life. And do you know what complicates this method even further? Did you think that 17 clicks per second would suffice to build a bridge? Who will keep track of block placements? Who will ensure that your cursor remains at the top of the block and moves consistently in one direction? Why is this person underwater instead of on the bridge? Because my fingers can’t manage 17 clicks per second, and my eyes cannot monitor blocks being placed at such speed! I am unable to construct bridges in God mode, which is why I also lack a screenshot.

I’ve discovered it! I’ve found a feature of this technique that I really enjoy! There’s no need to calculate the timing for pressing the crouch button or spin left and right—just keep clicking the mouse button continuously and hope that all the elements align, allowing my character to survive!

Can you imagine what would happen if I applied this God technique in other areas of life? Perhaps I should try writing articles like this? Just randomly hitting keys on the keyboard in hopes that an interesting piece about Minecraft will come together!
