Minecraft has an almost endless game map. Even if players ran nonstop for years, they’d have difficulty reaching the edge of the world. Therefore, choosing the right mode of travel in the game is very important. The correct travel method can save players a huge amount of time. Today, let’s take a look at those travel methods in the game that can cover thousands of miles in a day.
Minecart Travel
Minecarts are one of the most common forms of transportation in the game and are also one of the transport and travel methods that most veteran players will definitely use in the later stages of the game.
Minecarts are very convenient to use. Just hop in, wait a while, and you’ll arrive at your destination. They can also be used to transport items, saving players from having to haul materials back and forth themselves. However, the drawback of minecarts is also very obvious: they require a lot of materials to build and are quite troublesome to set up.
Blue Ice Boating
Most players only use boats in a very basic way, simply for crossing rivers or seas. But boats actually have many advanced uses, and blue ice boating is one of them.
When a boat slides on blue ice, its speed can reach an astonishing 70 meters per second. Aside from some special methods in the game, there is hardly a faster way to travel than blue ice boating.
Nether Travel
The Nether in the game is a very interesting place. Traveling one block here is equivalent to traveling eight blocks in the Overworld. So, when you want to go on a long journey, why not take a trip through the Nether?
In the Nether, if you use blue ice boating, your speed will exceed the speed of sound in the Overworld, reaching 2016 kilometers per hour. Forget traveling a thousand miles a day; traveling ten thousand miles a day is absolutely no problem.
Animal Mounts
Although traveling by riding animals is very common, it is also a practical and fast way to get around. Besides, there are many ridable animals in the game—horses, donkeys, mules, and even little pigs—which makes it quite fun.
During a thunderstorm, there is a very small chance that a skeleton trap horse will appear. Players can tame the skeleton horse by killing the skeleton riding it. The skeleton horse is the strongest mount in the game because it can not only traverse mountains but also walk underwater and even on the surface of the ocean. It is truly the essential mount for any journey.
