Minecraft Console Commands and Cheat Codes
How to Use Them?
It is fairly simple to use Minecraft console commands and cheat codes. To use them you just have to open the chat window and type forward slash “/”, then enter your desired command.
You can also use up and down keys and scroll through previously entered commands. Also, for a lot of these commands to work, you will have to enable cheat while creating a new Minecraft world.
If you haven’t enabled the cheat while creating a new world, you can do it by opening the game to LAN and then selecting “Allow Cheats”, even if you are not on a LAN.
Minecraft also allows some shortcuts that will save you time. So instead of typing a player’s name(s) for the layer prompt, you can use the shortcuts mentioned below to target someone specific:
| @p | The nearest player to you |
| @r | Random player |
| @a | All players in the world |
| @e | All entities in the world |
| @s | You |
The coordinates are expressed using x, y, and z. x covers east(+) to the west(-) of the origin point, z covers south(+) to the north(-) of the origin point and y is the height from 0 to 255, and 64 is sea level.
