How to use commands in Minecraft

  1. Enable cheats. In single-player, "Allow Cheats" in world settings. On servers, you need operator (op) status — see /op.
  2. Open chat with T (or / to pre-fill the slash) and type the command.
  3. Use selectors like @p (nearest player), @a (all players), @e (every entity), @s (executor) to target who the command affects.
  4. Run from command blocks for in-world automation — place a command block (see command_block), open it, paste the command, and trigger it with redstone.
