In the realm of gaming, iconic weapons have carved their names into the annals of history, each offering unique gameplay experiences. Among these, few can rival the sheer versatility of the gravity gun from Half-Life. This remarkable tool allows players to manipulate their environment in ways that are both creative and entertaining. Imagine lifting a radiator and launching it at an unsuspecting foe—now that’s what we call range.
While the gravity gun has inspired numerous mods across various games, including the beloved Minecraft, one innovative creator has harnessed its essence without resorting to third-party add-ons. This approach allows players to enjoy the nostalgic charm of Vanilla Minecraft, where simplicity reigns supreme. In this unadulterated version, players can immerse themselves in the joy of block-building and the occasional overstuffed chicken pen, all while maintaining optimal performance.
Introducing the Gravity Stick
As demonstrated by the creator known as ‘Aero,’ there are ways to infuse a bit of excitement into the basic Minecraft experience through the use of console commands. By employing these commands, players can access powers reminiscent of the gravity gun, elevating their gameplay without compromising the game’s original charm.
To craft what Aero dubs the ‘Gravity Stick,’ follow these simple steps:
- Begin by spawning a Command Block using the command /give @s command_block. Set the block’s parameters to ‘Repeating,’ ‘Unconditional,’ and ‘Always Active.’
- Next, activate the following command: /execute as @a[nbt={SelectedItem:{id:”minecraft:stick”}}] at @s positioned ^ ^1 ^10 run tp @e[type=!player, type=!minecraft:item, distance=..15] ~ ~ ~.
While the command may seem a bit daunting, the payoff is well worth the brief moment it takes to copy and paste. Aero’s video showcases a plethora of intriguing commands, allowing players to experiment with character size, spawn trails of TNT blocks, and even adorn mobs with items—yes, those unicorn villagers are purely whimsical, with nothing untoward to see here.
