5 best Minecraft MLG tricks

There are various ways to MLG in Minecraft, and here are some of the best and most commonly used ones.

5) Boat MLG

Doing an MLG with boats is an option, but it is one of the most difficult to pull off. To do this, the player should first place the boat, and then right-click again to sit in it to evade fall damage. Dream, a highly skilled Minecraft player and content creator, did this MLG after making a boat mid-air from a crafting table.

4) Ladder MLG

Ladders are another item with which players can do MLG. Although they are not ideal because you will need a vertical side of a block to place the ladder. If the player doesn't have any sort of block wall where he/she is falling, they won't be able to use ladders. Also, landing on top of a ladder and not on the side can also do fall damage.

One of the most used MLGs of all time is the Water Bucket MLG. Almost all the professional players, Minecraft streamers, and even general intermediate players have a water bucket in their hotbar, ready to save them from fall damage.

As everyone knows, water can slow the speed of a falling object, and it applies here as well. That's why Water Bucket MLG is the most used MLG ever. The only downside is that it can't be used in the Nether, as the water evaporates immediately.
