What is Minecraft?
Minecraft is an enormous sandbox adventure in which players can explore procedurally generated worlds, mine for resources, craft tools and items, battle mobs of enemies, and create huge structures.
The game was originally created by Markus ‘Notch’ Persson and released into the wild fully in 2011. Since then, it has become the best-selling videogame of all-time, and can now be played on several different platforms.
How do I enable the Minecraft console?
Firstly, when creating your world – be it survival or creative – be sure to have ‘Enabled Cheats’ selected or the console will be blocked! To pull the console menu up, you’ll need to hit ‘/’ on your keyboard.
How do I use Minecraft commands?
To use one of the many Minecraft cheats above, you’ll need to pull up the console, and then enter a command from our list above. Every command will need to be entered with a forward slash (/) for them to be valid.
You’ll have to pick a recipient for the command, but rather than typing our a player’s full name, you can use the following shortcuts to find the right person:
- @p – nearest player
- @r – random player
- @a – all players
- @e – all entities
- @s – the entity executing the code
When you’re ready to use your command, hit the enter key.
Just remember: commands can only be used in worlds that have cheats enabled.
