This article organizes commonly used commands in Minecraft into a list and explains them in simple terms, so you can easily copy and paste them whenever you need!

Enabling Command Permissions

  3. Enable Allow Cheats and then click Start LAN World.

Quick Command Input

  1. Press / on the keyboard in-game to open the chat.
