What are Diagonal Bridges?
Diagonal Bridges are the Bridging Methods which move the player ultimately diagonal in the same direction,
the direction can switch over the
course of the Bridge but in the end you will always come out in a
Diagonal direction.
What types of Bridges does Diagonal Bridging include?
- Mainly Icy-Variants, like Double- and TripleIcy
- Some hold mechanics
- Some styles
- Methods with a generally diagonal direction
Icy Bridge/xqwo/Backwards Icy/Sideways Xqwo
Icy:
- The most practical and basic Bridging Method
- Easy to learn and usable in game
- Beginner friendly and easy to get consistent at
How to do Icy:
Strafe from left to right, right when placing the left block, left when placing the right block, you can also do icy Nostrafe, which is without strafing, try to start with strong strafes and big headmovement and work your way to smaller strafes and smaller headmovement.
xqwo:
- Very utile in Bridging in general
- Fastest way to go Diagonal in Bedrock Bridging consistently
- Easy once you got it down
- A smal number of Players can do it
How to do xqwo:
Sprint and move your head minimally from the left to the right while timing Butterfly Clicks, the less headmovement, the faster
Backwards Icy:
- Weird flex
- Insanely much fun
- Easy if you got it down once
How to do Backwards Icy:
Do a ~270 degree turn after every placed block, you can speed it up by tapping A or D every time you are facing front again.
Sideways xqwo:
- Insanely difficult
- Insanely impressive
- Insanely useless
- Combines a Bedrock and a Java mechanic
How to do Sideways xqwo:
Either hold A or D after positioning yourself about at the middle of the side you are facing, then let go of shift and flick your head slightly from the angle you would Bedrock Bridge at to the one where you place it on the side of the Block and repeat while timing Clicks.

Recommended Clicking Method: Any/Timed Butterfly, Normal Click/Normal Click, Timed Butterfly/Normal Click
CPS: Dependant, 8-9, 5-7, 6
Double Icy/Backwards Double Icy
Double Icy:
- Insanely difficult
- Very Flickheavy
- Impressive
How to do Double Icy:
Place 2 blocks, then flick insanely fast to the left to place another and repeat, alternative: do it like xqwo Icy (Requires a lot of CPS).
Backwards Double Icy
- Very weird flex
- Supre easy
- Fun
How to do Diagonal Double Icy:
Place 2 blocks, then do a 270 degree turn, then place 1 block, do a 270 degree turn in the other direction and repeat.
Difficulity Rating: 7/10, 2/10
Inventor: nerd4bird, unknown
Recommended Clicking Method: Butterfly, Timed Butterfly/Normal Click
CPS: 9 - if optimal: 12-13, 5
Triple Icy/Backwards Triple Icy
Triple Icy:
- Impressive if you can do it fast
- Easier than Double Icy
- Satisfying
How to do Backwards Triple Icy:
Place 2 blocks, flick less than 90 degree to the left, place another 2 blocks, flick less than 90 degree to the right, repeat, alternative: do it like xqwo Icy (Requires a lot of CPS).
Backwards Triple Icy
- Very very weird flex
- Easy
- Satisfying
How to do Backwards Triple Icy:
Place 2 blocks, do a 270 degree turn, place another 2 blocks, do a 270 degree turn in the other direction.
Difficulity Rating:6/10, 2/10
Inventor: unknown, unknown
Recommended Clicking Method: Butterfly Click, Timed Butterfly, DoubleClick (if xqwo)/Normal Click
CPS: 9 - if optimal: 16-18, 5
TAS Bridge
- Insanely difficult
- Very CPS-dependant
- Barely anyone can do it without Drag Clicking
How to do it:
Butterflying very fast while aiming from the left to the right, like with Triple Icy and sprinting.
Difficulity Rating: 10/10
Inventor: qShelled
Recommended Clicking Method: Butterfly, Timed Butterfly, Drag, Double Clicking
CPS: up to 24
Tunnel Icy
- Insanely difficult
- If done optimally, inhuman
- Borderline impossible without Double or Drag Clicking
How to do it:
Like triple Icy but clicking way faster, preferably Double or Dragclicking.
Difficulity Rating: 11/10 (inhuman)
Inventor: xSn1pe
Recommended Clicking Method: Butterfly, Timed Butterfly, Double Clicking, Drag Clicking
CPS: up to 30
Stacked Icy
- Super satisfying
- Backwards Icy in fancy
- Fun to do and Freestyle with
How to do it:
Like Backwards Icy but you place a block ontop of the previously placed block before turning again.
Difficulity Rating: 3/10
Inventor: qShelled
Recommended Clicking Method: Normal Click
CPS: 6-8
Diagonal Andromeda
- Super satisfying
- Fun to do
- Good for Andromeda patterns
- Easy to learn
How to do it:
Place a block, turn 270 degree to the left while doing a parabola, then place a block above you, then place a block at the bottom, turn 270 degree in the other direction, do a parabola upwards and place the other block and then one at the bottom and repeat.

CPS:5-7 (average) 9-10 if optimal
L Bridge
- One of the basics
- Styling basic
- Beginner friendly
- Easy
How to do it:
Place 2 blocks, turn left (less than 90 degree), place 1 block, turn right again, place 2 blocks, repeat.
