How To Duplicate In Minecraft?

Yes, duplicating items on Minecraft is possible because of duplication glitches. These are bugs or the server itself, allowing players to duplicate items.

Over the years, there have been several duplication glitches. Here are some of its most useful usage:

• Valuable Gear Dupes- If you lose your gear to the void or lava, you can just take a backup from your chest, then you will not have any problems.
• Enchanted Books Dupes- If you have duplicate enchanted books, you will be able to duplicate them again endlessly.
• Enchanted Tools Dupes- Acquiring tools can be quite challenging, but through the use of duplicates, you will never run out of them ever again.

However, the problem is that most duplication glitches require two players to be activated. This can be quite challenging if you are only playing by yourself. But, there is no need to worry. In this article, you will learn different methods on how a single player can duplicate items.

Basic Save File Manipulation

This method is reliable and safe. You will only need the items that you want to be duplicated and a chest. Here are the steps:

1. Acquire the item that you want to be duplicated. It can either be on your Hotbar or inventory, or it can be equipped to you.
2. Close and save the game. Return to the main menu immediately.
3. Go to your save folder and copy & paste “%appdata%\.minecraft\saves” on the File Explorer's address bar.
4. Click on the target folder and duplicate the “level.dat_old. “ and “level.dat files.”
   
5. Go to your target world. Take the item that you want to duplicate and deposit it to a chest.
6. Close the world and go to the main menu, then save the game.
7. Copy & paste the “level.dat” files duplicated back to the target world folder.
8. Go to the target world, and you should see the original and duplicated item in your inventory.

Task Manager

The Alt + F4 method is patched, so use the Task manager method to end the task since it is not yet patched and still currently working. Here are the steps:

1. Go to the task manager and open it.
2. Select the world that you want to have a duplicated item. Ensure that the “Pause on Lost Focus” is disabled.
3. Drop the items that you want to be duplicated from your inventory.
   
4. Exit the world and relaunch it again.
5. When it opens, drop the item on the ground by pressing “Q.” Do not exit your inventory just yet.
6. Immediately press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC or ALT+TAB to access the task manager.
7. Finish the process.
8. Open and load the target world again, then collect your items on a pile.
   
   

Final Words

The effectiveness of the methods mentioned above depends on whether the glitch is already patched or not. Also, if the methods mentioned above do not work on your first try, you may need to try again because some of these require specific timings.

The methods mentioned above are only some of the ways to activate the duplicate glitch on Minecraft. Some methods require 2 players, and those have higher chances of working during your first try because there is a lesser chance that the game will flag it as cheating. However, simultaneously working with another player to do the steps can also be a challenge

Regardless of how you decide to do it, duplicating items in Minecraft is not rocket science. Plus, it can give you huge advantages while you are playing, so might as well give it a try.
