Pieray - How to Find ANY Base in Minecraft [Debug Menu, Pie Chart]

Today, I will be teaching you how to use pieray to find ANY base on any Minecraft multiplayer server or survival multiplayer (SMP). It's crazy to think that this little piegraph on the bottom right of your [Shift + F3] screen can find enderchests, shulker boxes, enchanting tbales, jukeboxes, beacons, mobspawners, and so much more! Then again, it depends on the version you play on. But don't worry, I cover everything pie-ray shows from Minecraft Java 1.11.x to the most recent 1.20 snapshot. Tune in to learn more!

[@kemytz]

Good job! Everything nicely explained. It is cool to see how people use Pie Ray not only in speedrunning but also for base hunting. The story how I found it is a bit hillarious, so here it is. I was reading the minecraft wiki about the debug screen like three times to find something cool that could be used as an advantage. The first two attempts were a failure because I was concerned there is nothing new about the F3 menu. After each time I read the wikipedia I gave up and I had a break from reading it for a few months. When I read the wikipedia for the third time thinking there is nothing new to be found, I scrolled down to the pie graph information. When I noticed the wikipedia says that it is possible to navigate through it using 0-9 numbers I instantly got a brainwave. I hopped on minecraft and found the path that showed the blockentities. After I realised how it works, I instantly knew that it can be used in speedrunning to find nether fortresses, villages and that it can be used in base hunting. I published my own discovery on the youtube and the speedrun community loved it. Speedrunners started to learn it and almost everyone uses it now. They started to experiment with it. One of the speedrunners - TheTalkingMime, found a path in Pie Ray that can be used to find buried treasure without the map. The strategy is called mapless. This is definitely the best use of Pie Ray in modern speedrunning as the buried treasure can be found fast and it contains food, iron and sometimes tnt for the blocks. I was so surprised mapless was a thing, I would probably never discover it on my own. I am really proud that discovering the Pie Ray, helped the speedrunners to beat the game faster and gave them opportunity to experiment with it further to find more. It is so amazing to see that every speedrunner in the world uses my strategy and to see that people use it in a smart way to hunt bases.

[@Thesto]

I remember using e count back in the day to basehunt on faction servers. Never would have imagining a the little pie would be able to be used as a way to help speed run and basehunt. Mapless is nuts. But it got me experimenting with gamerenderer on multiplayer as well hahaha. Anyway, welcome! Thank you for checking out the video!

[@Thesto]

🍿 Don't forget the popcorn!

[@melwin2251]

slight correction: it is the MOVING piston that shows up, not the EXTENDED piston. If you have a base with a piston-based farm which is turned off, it does not matter if pistons are extended or not. It will matter if you turn on the farm and pistons start moving. also the squared circle is brilliant.

[@Thesto]

Yeah, I caught myself fixing them. Noticed I missed a few spots. But yes, the piston needs to just be active for it to show.

[@Pagman124]

Great video. It will not happen, but it should be an OP only option or disabled outside of a single player world.

That wouldn't be a bad idea. Or just make it not work in multiplayer or something.

[@Drevre]

Today, I finally got back to my main Lifesteal smp but when I got in the game, my base is completly bombed and all the chests (including the ones in the secret room) was gone. The thief was likely a more advanced player (because he/she uses End Crystals) and because of that he/she might actually used pieray

[@HGamer2114YT1]

2:29 i noticed the portal sfx ;)

[@magicshon]

My pie always displayed the jukebox i had in my home even if i was far and had render distance low. Turns out when you have a custom server the pie uses the server setting of render distance and not your own in 1.19.4 Meaning server is set to 25 chunks and i can see 25 chunks away with this and cant shorten in making it pretty useless

[@Thesto]

I've been hearing 1.19.4 changed some things. I'm looking deeper into ;)

[@foxy_gamer1779]

, I think I have found another way you can do it when you're looking at the pie chart and you look at the percentages if the percentages go up that MA you're going closer if it goes down you're going further away right

[@Thesto]

This works only when the item is within render distance and you look in it's direction. The percentage may jump up and then back down but it isn't a for sure method as other things could jump up and give you false positives

[@rxmy6690]

Can you do this on pc bedrock?

[@Doom6622]

When I get elytra on uneasy no base will be safe unless they are using blocks that don’t show on pieray

[@jakobi4173]

i have a question for me when i press shift + f3 everything pops up but not the pie ray do you need a texture pack?

[@Thesto]

You do not need a texture pack. Are you using any F3 mods?

[@muhammaddaniyalali290]

make a guide on version 1.20.4

[@enavoid]

I'm playing on 1.20.1 and i'm trying to find Buried Treasure. All tutorials on the internet tell me to go to either root.gameRenderer.level.entities and look for blockEntities, or root.tick.level.entities, but it seems like that only works in previous versions, specially 1.16.1, which is the most used speedrunning version. How do i find it in 1.20.1?

[@Thesto]

So if you're by a beach and do this when you render in the chest the chest should spike in percentage on the pieray. And if you don't want to use pieray at all just mine at every coordinate that's 9,9 inside the chunk (info can be seen on the F3 screen). Buried treasure is only found in 9,9 of a chunk on a beach.

[@letsgogaming8294]

so i was looking for a while and then i saw ec and a enchant table but then i tried to do it and it just dosent dissapper i have went by like 100 chunks and it just stayes there idk

[@Thesto]

Refresh it by pressing shift + f3 to close it and shift + f3 to reopen it.

[@lalalalala245]

The pie chart is too small, even when I turn up the gui scale it is still small, any way to fix this?

Hello!

[@dekander_bro28]

Hello! I play on a server. They know a lot about f3 pieray here. They make vaults out of barrels that aren't in the diagram. I was wondering if there is a mod that would allow you to add barrels so that you can see them too???

[@Thesto]

ESP or xray hacks

[@oak6302]

thats jkust hacks dog

[@Nunterr]

Great video! The one issue I have is that pieray wont update, it may be that I play in 1.20. Is there a fix anyone knows of?

[@Thesto]

You have to manually refresh it

[@anonymestoast5]

when I reload the chart the block entities disappear, even tho im at the same position before reloading

[@Thesto]

Which entities are disappearing? Also were you traveling at the time? Because they only appear within render

[@Frfr680]

Can anyone tell me how I can toggle through my inventory with the number keys without presseing any of the numbers on the pie chart? for example if I want to equip pickaxe on my 5th slot I would press 5 on my keyboard but that also presses 5 on the piechart so how can I avoid that?

[@Thesto]

The only way would be to turn off pieray while changing slots in the hot bar or changing hot bar keybinds to not use 1-9. Luckily, if you press a number it'll just go into the next menu so you can always press 0 after you change items using numbered hot keys.

[@Frfr680]

@@Thesto Thx bro I was still getting used to minecraft speedrunning when I commented this, but now I'm completely used to this happening.

[@foxy_gamer1779]

It makes no sense when I'm gaining the exact same thing you are doing with 2 chunks render distance I managed to get close to my bell however I was like an entire trunk away from it in when I do that method to try find the exact chunk it wasn't there it was off

Private server / world or public? It depends how the rendering chunks works on the server

[@chocolatecrossiant2730]

Almost always. Dungeons spawn in fairly commonly across the world and always contain a chest and spawner. Unknown is just useless info piled into one category.

[@janikkre9634]

[@Thesto]

I believe the GUI size might help

[@redchicken2384]

do u have to reset the pieray every new chunk u enter?

[@Thesto]

Technically yes. So... if you're flying and it's just unspecified, chest and mob spawner, those are everything and no need to refresh but once you get something on the pieray that you're wanting to check out, then yes. Refreshing the pieray every chunk helps so you can see when it goes away or comes back in. Once counting down on render distance 2, makes it very easy to narrow down chunk.

[@tjb3171]

Why is it different on uneasy vanilla? Oh and I agree with out about it being vanilla.

I think it's just a way the server owner can configure the rendering. And circle rendering is harder to narrow down chunk.

Yes but chests spawn in naturally everywhere (dungeons, abandoned mineshaft, villages, ruined portals, treasure chests, etc). If you plan on basehunting, non-natural entities are better as it's almost always guaranteed to be player placed.
