If you are looking for Minecraft console commands & cheats, we have the complete list. If you want to teleport, summon monsters, change the time and weather or alter the settings of your Minecraft server there is a Minecraft command to perform the task. Minecraft console commands are available on the Xbox One, PC, Mac, and Nintendo Switch versions of Minecraft.
How to enable Minecraft console commands
The first step to using Minecraft console commands is enabling the Allow/Activate Cheats option during world creation.
How to use Minecraft console commands
If your Minecraft world allows console commands and cheats, you must bring up the developer console to enter commands and cheats. Here is how to do it on PC and Mac, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch:
- PC and Mac: Press the slash key (/) or T to bring up the console.
- Xbox one: Press right on your D-Pad.
- Nintendo Switch: Press right on Joy-Con, or right on on the D-Pad of a Pro Controller.
Now that we have laid the foundations for enabling and using console commands in Minecraft, let's see the available commands.
Minecraft console commands & cheats list
You can use many commands in Minecraft to locate biomes, target players, enchant items, add experience to a player, change the game's difficulty, switch game modes, give items to players, kill players, and more.
Teleport command
/tp [player_name] x y zThe teleport command allows you to teleport yourself or any other player to the provided coordinates. Since the format is three-dimensional, x serves as the longitude, y as the height, and z as the latitude. To maintain the current coordinate value, you can use the tilde key (~) for any of the three coordinates.
For instance ‘/tp Cyberfunk 43 ~ 85' will teleport Cyberfunk to [43,85] at the current height.
Locate Biome command
/locatebiome [biome_name]This command works great in tandem with the teleport command. Entering the command with a Biome name will bring up a list of biomes that you can scroll through and select the one you are looking for. Selecting a Biome will bring up its coordinates. You can then use the teleport command to teleport there.
Targeting commands
Instead of typing your username or any other player's, you can use targeting commands to target someone and then remove the [player_name] variable from any console command you want to use on them:
- @s targets yourself.
- @p targets the closest player.
- @r targets a random player in your world.
- @a targets all players in your world.
- @e targets all entities in your world; players, animals, and monsters.
