I play Minecraft on a MacBook Air and i was wondering if someone could help me. On lots of youtube videos they are able to craft a stack (64) of coal, and iron blocks very fast. I was wondering how you do this, while I was researching this I found out that you press shift and right click. I have changed the right click to be the "command" key. However I don't know what i am doing wrong, and I would like to get this fixed before I build a big iron farm. Could someone please help me ASAP. I hope I have given enough information for a response, I would be happy to give more if required.
Are you sure you are not looking at a video of creative mode? You can grab a full stack from inventory with a shift click.
In survival or others, you can move items to your inventory from chests and such with a shift click and they will stack on first available matching items untill you get full stacks
I have tried this before and it has not worked, is this a MacBook Air thing or just a me thing.
I have been watching Hermitcraft which is a survival lets play server. And they all craft a stack of iron blocks in like 1 click mean while i have to constantly drag one iron block out at a time.
If they are crafting a full stack of iron blocks with one click I think they must be using some mod but you should be able to craft 7 blocks with one or two clicks or a full stack with 9-18 clicks.
I don't have much experience with either Macs or laptops, but on a PC desktop (or laptop with a mouse) shift + right click moves the stack you click on to the first available slot in the crafting grid. So, if you have 9 stacks of iron that would be the fastest.
A left click lifts up the whole stack you are pointing at and you can drag it to the crafting grid and left click again to drop it there, hold the left button and drag the stack to spread it out evenly over the crafting slots, hold the right button and drag to put a single item in each slot you drag the stack over or click the right button to place a single item in the slot you are pointing at.
And right clicking on a stack lifts up half of it.
I have changed the right click to be the "command" key.
Hi, I think that is where the problem lies,
It seems that the shift+right_click functionality is hard coded into the game, I tried changing the Use_Item key from right_click to Ctrl (on my PC) and that made it so I could use Ctrl to place blocks and open the crafting grid but to move stacks to the crafting grid I still had to use right_click.
Don't you have a clickable area at the bottom of your track pad, or whatever built in controls you have?
Otherwise I'm afraid you might have to use a mouse to do what you want.
(Or are Macs still single button as default?)

What do you do for left_click?
It seems odd that you can't at least drag the whole stack, I don't even know how to pick up just a single item from a stack.

Just testing.
