How to Earn Minecraft Scramble Badges

You can earn a few different kinds of Minecraft badges. Here, you find out how to earn Scramble badges, which are different from the other types: All the code blocks you need are already in the programming area — they’re just scrambled around on the screen in an animation.

To earn a Scramble badge, follow these steps:

Test the correct version of the code in the simulator or Minecraft to see what it’s supposed to do, like saying “Hello, World!”

Gather together all blocks that have been scrambled on the screen, by dragging them near each other.

Unscramble the blocks, and test your mod to see whether it matches the correct version that you test in Step 1 of this list.

To find all the blocks you need in order to complete the badge (sometimes, the blocks that have been scrambled are offscreen), you move around by using the scroll bars on the right side and bottom of the programming environment.

How to Earn Minecraft Scramble Badges
In Minecraft, you can earn several types of badges, and scramble badges are among them. They are distinct as all the necessary code blocks are already present in the programming area, just jumbled up in an on - screen animation. Here's a step - by - step guide on how to earn scramble badges:
1. Understand the End Result
First, test the correct version of the code in either the simulator or Minecraft. This will show you what the code is supposed to achieve. For example, in some challenges, the code might be designed to make the game say “hello, world!”. Observe the outcome carefully, noting details such as the order of actions, any text that appears, and the behavior of in - game elements.
2. Gather the Scrambled Blocks
Locate all the blocks that have been scrambled on the screen. They might be spread out in different parts of the programming environment. You can use the scroll bars on the right - hand side and the bottom of the programming area to move around and find any blocks that are off - screen. Drag the blocks so that they are close to each other, making it easier to work with them.
3. Unscramble the Blocks
Begin arranging the blocks in a way that, when you run your modified code (the mod), it performs the exact same action as the correct version you tested in step 1. This requires careful attention to the logic of the code. For instance, if the correct code makes a character move in a specific pattern, your rearranged blocks should replicate that movement.
4. Test Your Mod
After unscrambling the blocks, test your mod in Minecraft or the simulator. Check if it has the same effect as the correct version. If not, don't worry. Edit the arrangement of the blocks and test again. Keep repeating this edit - test cycle until your mod behaves exactly like the correct version.
Example: Earning the “Saying Hello Badge: Scramble Edition”
Open the Challenge: Click on the “Saying Hello (Scramble)” badge to start the challenge. You'll see ten blocks scrambled on the screen.
Test the Correct Version: Click the blue test button to test the correct version in Minecraft or the orange test button to test it in the simulator. Observe what occurs, such as the order in which messages are displayed. In some cases, the messages might be sent out of the expected numbered order.
Arrange the Blocks: Gather the ten blocks and start arranging them. Remember, the goal is to make your mod produce the same result as the correct version when run.
Iterative Testing: Continuously test your mod in Minecraft or the simulator. If the outcome doesn't match the correct version, adjust the block arrangement. Keep at it until you've put together the correct sequence of blocks, and then you'll earn the badge.
Tips for Success
Pay Attention to Details: When testing the correct version, note every detail, including text appearance (font size, location), block types, and the order of operations.
Use Hints Wisely: If available, click for hints. If a block is in the wrong place, or if you've inputted incorrect data like a number, variable, or material type, a block will flash until you correct the issue. The hints can guide you towards the right solution.
Check for Hidden Blocks: With scramble badges, be sure to check for blocks that might be buried under other blocks. Also, scroll to the very edges of the page to find any far - flung blocks that you need for the challenge.

Earn the Saying Hello badge: Scramble Edition
Open the Saying Hello (Scramble) challenge by clicking on the badge.

You see ten blocks scrambled on the screen.

Follow these steps to solve the challenge and earn the badge:

Click the blue Test button to test the correct version in Minecraft, or click the orange Test button to test the correct version in the simulator. Then observe what happens.

Gather the ten blocks and begin to arrange them in such a way that when you run the mod, it does exactly the same thing that the correct version did.

Test your mod in Minecraft or the simulator to see whether it has the same effect as the correct version.

If it doesn’t, edit the blocks arrangement and test again.

Continue this edit-test cycle until you have put together the correct arrangement of blocks.

Communicate with your computer
Writing code is the way that programmers communicate with their computers, and the way that you communicate with Minecraft. The problem, however, is that computers do exactly what you tell them to do, not what you think they should do. For example, in the Saying Hello (Scramble) challenge, you may have noticed that the answer looks strange if you expected the messages to be sent in numbered order, like this:

One Mississippi

Two Mississippi

Three Mississippi

and instead they’re sent out of order, like this:

Two Mississippi

One Mississippi

Three Mississippi

If you were told, “Go to your shoes and put on your room,” you probably would figure out that what you should do is go to your room and put on your shoes. If you told a computer, “Go to your shoes and put on your room,” the computer would literally go to its shoes and then try to put on its room, which is impossible, so it would probably display an error message.

You must be precise when you write code, and — more importantly — you should test your code often and in small increments to catch mistakes.

At the bottom of any Scramble challenge are two videos that you can watch to see strategies for completing this type of badge.

Though the videos aren’t specific to each challenge, watching them can help you with any badge that asks you to unscramble code.

The game is fun but the servers are unstable, constant disconnects.

Okay, but can we talk about the hidden lore in the latest chapter? The implications for the main character's origin are mind-blowing.

This will be remembered for years.
