Minecrafts Most USEFUL Feature...

The Pie Chart is Minecrafts most useful feature that not enough people use. It essentially acts as a vanilla x-ray. In this video I explain how to use it.

Why are you reading the bottom of the description? lol.

[@Roro_Studios]

Great video! Something worth mentioning is that the mob spawner can sometimes just be a treasure bastion, since those have magma cube spawners. Also, if the spawner is at a corner chunk of your render distance and you lower it by one, going one chunk in all four cardinal directions won’t make it show up. You are going to need to check the chunks diagonal to the one you are currently in. :)

how do you reset the pie chart when you change the tick and stuff

[@lexachu_]

@@TigerMansion Pressing F3 and shift F3 resets the pie chart, if it still doesn’t work, reload the world.

[@TigerMansion]

@@lexachu_ ok thanks

[@aonearslan]

thats where my problem comes in, i have laptop so if i do F3+F it will just increase the brightness of the screen so i'm wondering if i can just do it manually by going through the menu cuz i tried and but i think it glitches out cuz when i did it manually first the mob spawner showed up nowhere even with max render distance. so i reset and try again doing it manually but now its suddenly closer than frickin 2 chunks, i was like what in the gods name is going on so if anyone can help me pls do.

[@Vex_0123]

@@aonearslan There must be a fn key on your keyboard, just press shift + fn + f3 and you can open the pie chart and I believe you can press fn + esc to switch between function keys(f1, f2, ...) and hotkeys(volume, brightness, ...) on most of the laptops. In your case, you must in the hotkeys mode, so you have to press fn + f3 to use f3, or like I said, you can press fn + esc to change to function keys mode, but that way when you want to increase the brightness, you have to press fn + f3 instead. Ofc none of the two modes is better, it depends on how often you use function keys or hotkeys.

For some reason the pi chart won’t reset after I lower the chunks like yours did. Once “mob spawners” are in, even if I lower my Render distance all the way, it won’t go away. The only way to do it is to quit and reload

[@notPenney]

lowering to 2 chunks and then pressing "f3 + shift" twice to turn it off and back on does a "soft reset" but minecrafts engine will always render stuff within 5 chunks even if you can only see 2 chunks. so as you said the only way to fix this is to quit the world and rejoin. it sucks but you'll only need to do this if the mob spawner is within 5 chunks of you (which it normally won't be)

yeah, you an do that by closing and opening the pie chart again, i'm somewhat of a speedrunner myself with a pb of like 25 mins. i would've never been able to do that if not for the pie chart, also, my pb is 25 min because i don't use stronghold calculator.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t F3 + Shift or something turn on a Pie Chart? I’ve heard that it can basically be used as a base tracker but don’t really understand it that much.

[@atauygur8104]

I generally forget liking videos and at first I forgot to like this video too and clicked some another video but I came back to just like this video , this video was THAT GOOD.Very easy to understand and not unnecessary long, thanks for this video.

[@TomlinsTE]

Something isn’t right for me. The server I play on only allows 8 chunk render distance, so I just roam with the full 8 enabled until I see a chest and then back off the render to 7 in order to find the direction, which I did, but then after traveling about 7 chunks I don’t see the structure, so I back off the render distance to the minimum (2 chunks) and I’m still in range. So I go one direction until the chest drops out. Then I turn around and go back the other direction expecting to see the structure or the chest to drop off again after a couple chunks. I had to go 21 chunks before the chest drops off the other direction. It seems like this method is only narrowing the search to 400 chunks for me, if at all. I never found the chest or structure.

[@Imadictionary]

Is there any way for me to enlarge the pie chart? it is really tiny for me and I can't see much. My gui scale is 4

[@porwallop7169]

Great video! Ik a lot of people have already asked this, but on new versions the pie chart doesn't refresh when the render distance goes down, and you have to exit and reload the world. This applies even if the spawner is more than 5 chunks away. As of now have there been any ways found to get the pie chart to update when the render distance goes down?

When the pie chart data says a specific block (e.g. mob spawner) is 23 chunks away from you, does it count diagonally if the item is in a chunk which is diagonal from the chunk you're standing in?

[@notPenney]

if it is diagonal it's annoying because it will show up at (for example) 23 chunks, but when you lower your render distance to 22 chunks it won't show up in any of the 4 directions. you can still figure out which diagonal direction it is if you have enough experience with pie ray, but it's a niche scenario that you probably won't run into often

[@notPenney]

if those block entities are really close to you, opening and closing the pie chart won't refresh it, you have to legitimately exit the world and rejoin for it to refresh (this is only if the block entities are within about 5 chunks or so). if you're really far away from the chest or mob spawner and this is still happening you might be on the wrong version, this tutorial is mainly for 1.16.1 if you're on the right version there might be some settings you need to change like "entity culling" if none of that works, idk what to do
