Amount of items

1 item See items as they are in the inventory. For the entity that items and blocks turn into when dropped, see Item (entity). For the items that mobs leave behind on death, see minecraft is the most basic measurement in quantity.

One stack of a fully-stackable material (e.g. stone Stone Transparency No Luminance No Blast resistance 30 Tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Cobblestone (1) Data value dec: 01 hex: 1 bin: 1 Name stone See the block called stone. For minecraft , diamond Diamond Type Raw materials Durability N/A Renewable No Stackable Yes (64) First appearances See History Data value dec: 264 hex: 108 bin: 100001000 Name diamond See the gem. For the ore, see Diamond Ore. For minecraft ) will fully occupy one slot in one`s inventory "GUI" redirects here. For items like health bars and crosshairs, see Heads-up display.

Note: 1 chunk is a 16⃗16⃗256 piece of a Minecraft map.

Health

The basic measure of health is one hit point (1 ()). One heart (2 ()) is also commonly used when talking about health.

Damage/entity HP
Chicken 4 ()
Item 5 ()
Instant Damage 6 ()
Diamond sword 7 ()
Cow 10 ()
Player 20 ()
Enderman 40 ( ⃗ 20)
TNT 65 ( ⃗ 32.5) max
Iron golem 100 ( ⃗ 50)
Ender Dragon 200 ( ⃗ 100)
Wither 300 ( ⃗ 150)
Player with maximum Health Boost and maximum Absorption 2068 ( ⃗ 1034)
/kill command 3.4028234663852886E38 ( ⃗ 1.7014117331926E+38)

Hunger

Similarly, the basic unit in hunger is a food point - - displayed as a chicken drumstick.

A full hunger bar () contains 20 food points (sticks).

Distance

The basic measure of distance is a block. One block in Minecraft is one meter cubed (1 m3) in real life.

So, knowing that one block is one meter cubed, we can assume that:

Metric units

Length Blocks Pixels
1 kilometer = 1000 blocks = 16000 pixels
1 hectometer = 100 blocks = 1600 pixels
1 decameter = 10 blocks = 160 pixels
1 meter = 1 block = 16 pixels
1 decimeter = 0.1 blocks = 1.6 pixels
1 centimeter = 0.01 blocks = 0.16 pixels
1 millimeter = 0.001 blocks = 0.016 pixels
6.25 cm = 0.0625 blocks = 1 pixel
62.5 cm = 0.625 blocks = 10 pixels
6.25 m = 6.25 blocks = 100 pixels
Blocks Volume
1 block = 1 m3
1 block = 1000 liters
1 voxel = 244 cm3
1 voxel = 244 milliliters

Imperial/U.S customary units

Length Blocks
1 mile = 1,609.344 blocks
1 yard = 0.9144 blocks
1 foot = 0.3048 blocks
1 inch = 0.0254 blocks
Blocks Length
1 block = 0.000621371192 miles
= 1.0936133 yards
= 3.2808399 feet
= 39.3700787 inches
Blocks Length (approx.)
1 block 11,760 miles
≈ 1 yard
≈ 3 feet
≈ 36 inches
1 pixel = 128,160 miles
= 0.2 feet
=2.46 inches
Blocks Volume
1 block ≈ 264 US fluid gallons
≈ 227 US dry gallons
≈ 219 Imperial Gallons
1 voxel = 0.064 US fluid gallons
= 0.256 quarts
= 1.024 cups
