Can you build a golf course in Minecraft?
If your kids (or you) play Minecraft here’s a tutorial on how to build a super cool golf course. What a great way to introduce youngsters to the layout of a course, and who knows, perhaps one day we’ll hear that the course designers of the future started this way!
How do I force Minecraft to use GPU?
One of the best ways to force Minecraft to use GPU is from Display settings on Windows. This can also be achieved by using your Nvidia or AMD control panel depending upon the GPU you have.
How to make Minecraft use a dedicated AMD GPU?
Making Minecraft use your dedicated AMD GPU is also pretty convenient. Simply follow the steps below to shift Minecraft’s workload to the GPU: Go to your desktop and right-click on it. Select the AMD Radeon Settings option and open it. Go to the System tab in the AMD Radeon control panel and click on the Switchable Graphics option.
How does GPU affect Minecraft performance?
Well, the more powerful a GPU is, the more efficiently it will manage data processing and graphics rendering. This way, a better GPU ensures a more satisfying gaming experience when playing Minecraft.
Scoring
Each hole will usually be assigned a “par”, this is the number of shots you need to score 0 points. If you manage to get the block in the hole in 1 throw below par, you score a “birdie”, which gives you a score of -1.
Mob Golf
In mob golf, actual mobs are used as golf balls. This is only possibly by using a mod or plugin which will increase the knock back effect (or enchantment strength) on weapons. The mobs are literally punched into the air and are shot far away, hopefully close to the hole.

Obstacles
Anybody who has every played miniature golf in real life will probably know at least 10 different holes to build, though if you need a little inpiration, try one of the following.
Corners, Turns and Slopes
You can create various different shaped golf courses with sharp angles, long curves or slopes. Note that blocks cannot go up a slope, only down. So players will have to try to throw the blocks over the slopes.
Multilayered Courses
You could add various holes on a top layer in which the block has been throw. It will then land on a layer below it, which will then either lead to the end hole or even more layers. By creating 3 of these holes, seperate tracks could be created, some more difficult than the others.
Water Flows
Blocks will be carried by water, which makes water the perfect way to create shortcuts on your course. Players could then chose to go for the easier, but longer route or try to get the block into a water flow, which will carry the ball further but is often difficult to reach.
Boundaries, Bridges and Sand Banks
Water could be used to set boundaries around your course. If the block falls into the water, the player will have to start back at the beginning of the course. Small bridges could be created as the only passage across the water, which make it quite difficult to succeed on this course.
Fire, Lava and Other Heat Sources
Fire and lava should never be used in your courses, as they will melt the ice. So will torches and many other heat and light sources. Though it is possible to prevent this by using mods or server plugins.
How to Fix Minecraft Not Using GPU?

Integrated GPU vs Dedicated GPU for Minecraft
There are two main types of graphics cards. These are integrated or onboard GPU and dedicated GPU.
What Does a GPU Do?
A GPU or graphics card is responsible for processing the graphics and providing a display on your screen. In other words, it’s an essential part of your computer used to show you the computer operating on your screen.
