TIP: Read our tutorial called Agreement the Coordinate System to learn about the XYZ coordinates in Minecraft and how to observe your current coordinates.
Book Calculation
Y'all can use the following calculation to determine how many blocks will exist included in the fill region.
The formula for volume is:
Volume = (Xgreater - Xbottom + 1) 10 (Ygreater - Ylesser + 1) x (Zgreater - Zlesser + ane)
Greater is the larger of the 2 corresponding coordinate values and lesser is the smaller of the ii corresponding coordinate values.
Permit's calculate the book for the following command:
/fill up ~-5 ~-1 ~-5 ~5 ~-ane ~v quartz_block
In this example:
Xgreater = 5 Xlesser = -five Ygreater = -i Ybottom = -1 Zgreater = 5 Zlesser = -5
So our book adding would exist:
Volume = (v - -5 + 1) x (-i - -i + 1) 10 (5 - -5 + 1) Volume = (11) 10 (1) x (11) Book = 121 blocks

How to Enter the Command
ane. Open the Chat Window
The easiest way to run a control in Minecraft is within the conversation window. The game control to open the conversation window depends on the version of Minecraft:
2. Type the Command
Nosotros will comprehend examples of how to utilise the /make full command to cover the ground nether yous, build a solid structure, build a hollow structure, and mine a large area instantly.
Cover the Ground under You
Let's starting time past showing how to replace a region of blocks that are beneath where you are standing. For example, let's cover the basis beneath usa in a 11x1x11 surface area with quartz block with the following command:
/make full ~-5 ~-1 ~-5 ~5 ~-1 ~5 quartz_block
Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you lot will meet the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Printing the Enter key to run the command.
This /fill control would replace 121 blocks below you with blocks of quartz.
Yous volition come across the message "121 blocks filled" announced in the lower left corner of the game window to point that the fill control has completed.
Build a Solid Structure
Side by side, let's look at how to build a solid rectangular structure. Since we are filling a solid structure, we desire to make sure that the region is not where we are continuing, otherwise we will exist stuck inside the make full region.
If we avoid combining negative and positive coordinates (and only apply positive values for the X and Z coordinates), the structure should be constructed next to u.s..
For example, let'southward fill a region next to usa with blocks of redstone with the following control:
/fill ~1 ~0 ~1 ~10 ~10 ~10 redstone_block
Type the command in the chat window and press the Enter key to run the command.
This /fill command would fill a solid structure of 1100 blocks of redstone right beside u.s.a..
You will run across the message "1100 blocks filled" appear in the lower left corner of the game window to point that the fill command has completed.
This is a very fast mode to build a tower or other big solid structure.
Build a Hollow Structure
One of the nigh powerful uses of the /fill command is to build a hollow structure. This is a quick and like shooting fish in a barrel way to build the frame of a house or shelter.
For case, let's build a large hollow cobblestone structure with the following control:
/make full ~1 ~-1 ~ane ~x ~v ~10 cobblestone 0 hollow
Type the command in the conversation window and press the Enter key to run the control.
This /make full control would build a hollow construction where the outer block is made of cobblestone and the inside of the structure is filled with air.
You will see the bulletin "380 blocks filled" appear in the lower left corner of the game window to indicate that the fill command has completed.
Now if you lot pause the outer layer of the structure, y'all tin run into that information technology is empty and hollowed out on the inside. You can then use this as the frame of your business firm!!
TIP: If you wanted to exercise this with oak planks, but change the Minecraft ID to planks:
/fill ~1 ~-1 ~1 ~ten ~5 ~ten planks 0 hollow
A hollow oak planks structure would exist a nifty frame for a house!
Mine a Large Area Instantly
1 interesting characteristic of the /fill command is that you can use this command to speedily mine a large area as big as you desire and as deep as you lot want.
For instance, permit's mine starting ten blocks deep (-x) upward to basis level (-1), that is 5 blocks abroad from us in all horizontal directions with the following command:
/fill ~-5 ~-10 ~-5 ~5 ~-i ~5 cobblestone 0 destroy
Type the control in the chat window and press the Enter key to run the command.
This /fill command would replace all blocks in the make full region, including air. The replaced blocks will be dropped and tin then be nerveless equally if they were mined with a pickaxe or shovel.
You will see the bulletin "1210 blocks filled" appear in the lower left corner of the game window to bespeak that the fill up control has completed. All of the mined items would showtime popping up above the fill region. Yous can run over and pick up all of these items to add them to your inventory.
This is a dandy fashion to chop-chop mine diamonds, iron ore, aureate ore, redstone and other valuable items!!
The /fill command is very powerful and tin exist used to quickly create so many structures. Requite it a try and see what you can create!
Congratulations, yous have learned how to use the /fill command in Minecraft.
