Explore Zap CodeEverything you might want to know about Minecraft commands, target selectors, and how to use this generator.
A Minecraft command is a short piece of text that starts with a slash, like /give or /tp. You type it into the chat box and Minecraft does what you asked, like spawning a mob, giving you an item, or teleporting somewhere. Commands are a great way to learn programming because each part of a command is an argument, just like the inputs you would pass to a function in code.
Open the chat by pressing T or the slash key (/), then type or paste your command starting with a slash and press Enter. On Bedrock you can also use the chat button. The command runs right away. If nothing happens, check that cheats are enabled for your world or that you have operator permission on a server.
Yes, for most commands. When you create a single-player world in Java or Bedrock, turn 'Allow Cheats' on. On a server, you usually need to be an operator (op) or have permissions for the command. The /help command works without cheats and is a great way to see what is allowed in your world.
@p is a target selector that means 'the nearest player'. Other selectors include @a for all players, @s for yourself (the one running the command), @r for a random player, and @e for every entity, including mobs. Selectors save you from typing player names and let one command work for anyone nearby.
The basics like /give, /tp, /summon, /fill, and /effect work in both Bedrock and Java, but the exact item names, effect IDs, and number formats can be a little different. The commands this generator makes use the modern Java syntax, which works in most recent Minecraft versions. If a command does not run, double-check the spelling for your edition.
