Each block is the equivalent of one meter. Given that there is 1000 meters in 1 kilometers, you would have to build a track that spans 1000 blocks in one direction.

How many blocks are there in 1 km?
Given that there is 1000 meters in 1 kilometers, you would have to build a track that spans 1000 blocks in one direction. Show activity on this post. 1 km is 1000 minecraft blocks.
Metric units[]
Distances in Minecraft are quite easy to measure. Officially [1], Minecraft uses the metric system, and each block is considered to be 1 cubic meter. When you measure long distances, its easier to count if you mark the terrain with a space of 4 blocks between each marked block. The first marker represents a zero. Every second marker (ignoring the zero-mark) is then a 10-meter mark. Make a distinguished mark at the 21st marker to represent a hundred (100), because the first marker block represents zero (0). Use a sign to mark larger numbers to save time and resources.
(ZERO) 1 2 3 4 (MARK) 1 2 3 4 (10 METERS) 1 2 3 4 (MARK) 1 2 3 4 (20 METERS) …
Using the Euclidean Distance Formula[]
Sometimes the need arises in which you need to measure distances that dont align with the X or Z axes, which is easy to do with a little algebra. The formula for Euclidean distance (in two dimensions), where d is the distance:
Where:
If this formula looks a bit complicated, dont worry; it should all be much clearer with an example:
