Starting Out With Commands

How to Begin:

When using Minecraft Commands, there are two ways you can enter code. The most simple way is to add a command to your chat box and execute it that way.

To do this, click the Forward Slash ( / ) Key on your computer, or the T key and then a forward slash. This will open the chat with a empty command.

You can also use Command Blocks to execute commands, if your commands are too long for the chat box, which only supports a max of 196 characters. To get yourself a command block, you use the command:

/give  command_block

That will give you a command block in your inventory. To see a full explanation of Command Blocks, see this page, but I'll cover the basics here. To use command blocks, you must be in creative mode, and you have to look at the command block and right click. (!Useful Tip: When dealing with large command block creations, switch your break key to a keyboard key that you never use, such as m. I can't count the number of times that I've broken an unsaved command block that had more than 200 characters in it. Just believe me, you don't want it to happen to you.!) Once you click it, an interface will appear on your screen. Enter your command and you're done!
