How To Get And Use The Secret Jigsaw Block In Minecraft!

Hey everybody, it’s UnderMyCap and welcome back to another video! Today I’m going to be showing you how to use the Jigsaw Block in Java Edition. Now I’ve done this video plenty of times before, but I wanted to do a new updated version to help you guys out. Unfortunately, this does not work on Bedrock — don’t get me wrong, you can actually give it to yourself, it just for some reason does not work on Bedrock Edition. If you’d prefer to watch the video version, you can check it out here: How To Get And Use The Secret Jigsaw Block In Minecraft!

What Is The Jigsaw Block?

The Jigsaw Block is a block that looks kind of purpley and has a picture of a jigsaw with a few arrows on the top. To get it, simply type /give @s jigsaw and hit enter, and it will be added to your inventory. To best demonstrate just how easy and cool these are, I headed over to a super flat world to show you how its generation works.

Generating a Village With The Jigsaw Block

Once you place the Jigsaw Block, you are greeted with a whole bunch of empty fields — do not worry, this is super simple and straightforward once you get the hang of it! Because I’m going to build a village complete with roads and streets, I’m going to use the street structure to start. In the top Target Pool section, type in village and treat this almost like a file explorer. You want to go inside the villager folder and then navigate into plains. You can change this to whatever biome you like — Spruce, Taiga, and all of the other biomes are available — but I’m simply going to do plains because that’s the simplest, and then select streets. If you want to generate houses instead, you can simply remove the streets section and replace it with houses, but for now I’m sticking with streets.

Moving on to the next part: for Name, type in street, and for Target Name, also type in street. For the Turns Into field, we’re going to keep it as air for now because we just don’t want it turning into anything else. Once that’s all set, you’ll notice there are a bunch of buttons at the bottom, including Rollable Levels, Keep Jigsaw, and Generate. The levels setting is really cool — if you want a smaller village with lots of little roads, you would choose something between level one and two, but if you want a massive village, go for level seven. I went with level seven, hit generate, and wow — the Jigsaw Block generated a whole bunch of paths! You’ll notice there are a whole ton of Jigsaw Blocks scattered everywhere, and trust me, that is completely okay.

Generating Houses With The Jigsaw Block

You’ll notice that some of the blocks point sideways, and some appear in the floor as well — these are simply decorations and houses. You can see this by clicking on one of them, where you’ll find its Target Pool is set to something like houses/building_entrance. If you want to go ahead and generate that house, all you have to do is select a level and hit generate, and it will actually build a house right there. If you want to generate a house using your own Jigsaw Block, do not worry — simply place a block and copy the settings identically, making sure that the arrow is pointing sideways (you can’t point it upwards or downwards). Set it to level seven, hit generate, and you will have generated a huge villager house that is actually functional with all of its usual stuff inside!
