Gameplay

/execute

The most powerful command in Minecraft. /execute lets you change who runs a command, where it runs from, and conditional checks (if/unless), then runs another command. Chains multiple subcommands.

Syntax

Parameters

subcommand: literal; as / at / positioned / facing / rotated / in / on / if / unless / store / align / anchored / summon
command: command; The command to run with the modified context.

Command builder

Configure the options below to generate a ready-to-paste /execute command.

/execute chains context modifiers before running a command. This builder covers the most common clauses; subcommands can be nested far deeper in-game.

as (run as entity)

Change the executing entity

at (run at entity's location)

Anchor position/rotation to an entity

positioned (override location)

Set an explicit position

run (command to execute)

/execute as @e at @s run say hi

Examples

Spawn a firework at each player.
Conditional run based on scoreboard.
Mark players with 10+ kills as glowing.

Permission level

/execute requires Cheats (op level 2). In single-player you need the world's "Allow Cheats" toggle on. On a multiplayer server you need to be opped — see /op.
