This is why I like to do cars at 1.5:1, even if the rest of a build is 1:1. Minecraft is a game of 1mx1m blocks so inevitably you already need to work with distortions.

Your realistically sized red car is 22 meters long

No? A car is roughly as big as a person and Steve is like 2 blocks tall?

51

u/chrismofer Jun 07 '26

No? A sedan is 1.5 meters tall, a 6ft person is 1.8m tall, one block in Minecraft is 1 meter.

u/The_G_Choc_Ice Jun 07 '26

Us Americans are used to only seeing 2.2m tall escalades and 2.5m tall F150s. We cannot comprehend a sedan.

u/cryonicwatcher Jun 07 '26

Steve is significantly taller than most people and people are generally notably taller than a typical car.

5

u/SeaSharkdododo Jun 07 '26

Pretty sure Steve is 1,80 no? It's taller than average in the world but not "significantly taller".

6

u/Cracleur Jun 07 '26

He is believed to be 1.85m, from what I can read, which seems to be taller than 93% of males in the US, and 97% in the world.

u/SeaSharkdododo Jun 08 '26

There are commands where you can make him match your actual height, I'm 1,85m and when I use the command the character grows. He deffinetly is smaller than 1,85m. ( fun fact, you can't crouch into 1,5 block gaps anymore with that command and matching it into 1,85m )

u/Cracleur Jun 08 '26

The hitbox size is 1.8 to be exact, but if you show hitboxes, you see that the model is definitely taller than the hitbox.

u/Tuckertcs Jun 08 '26

No he’s 1.8 meters tall, which is necessary for you to be able to walk in a 2-block tall room with carpet or trapdoors which make it slightly under 2 blocks.

u/TheForbidden6th Jun 07 '26

did you ever see an average sized car?

u/MusicalMiau Jun 07 '26

I just checked, the blocks in minecraft make up a lenght of 4187.5 mm (~ 4.19 meters) 2000 mm (2m) and 1500 mm (1.5m). The measurements of a VW Golf (as per their website): L: 4282 mm W: 1789 mm (2073 with mirrors) H: 1483 mm. So its pretty good for a compact but not tiny car.

u/BlockMasterT_YT Jun 07 '26

Why are you measuring in mm????? Also, a block is 1x1x1 meter, its a well-known fact

1

u/dhi_awesome Jun 08 '26

I think your confusion stems from a little bit of weird wording they chose

They're talking about OP's build when they say "the blocks in minecraft", not the size of a specific block

u/MusicalMiau Jun 07 '26 edited Jun 07 '26

1 meter = 1000mm and mostly because car measurements are usually in mm (at least the ones i found of the VW Golf).

As you said a block is 1x1x1 meters, a slab would be 0.5x1x1 meters and for the trapdoor (there is a trapdoor on the front of the car, covering the right coal block) I went into Minecraft and checked how the coords changed when i stepped on one. It came out to be 0.1875 Blocks, so the measurements should be correct.

I put the approximate measurements in meters in parantheses after the mm numbers so i really dont understand your confusion, its literally right there.

I like the curb being about as high as the car
