Commands (also known as Cheats) are scripted codes that the player can write in the game console that change the game directly.

Using Commands

In order to use commands, the world must have cheats enabled. This option can only be enabled on the world creation screen, and cannot be enabled after a world has already been created.

The default key binding for opening the command console is "T". This can be changed in the game settings. When the console is open, the player can write a command, and execute it by pressing Enter.

The command definition includes two different types of brackets. It's important to know the difference between them.

  • Parameters between the < and > brackets is a list of options, separated by | characters. For example, in /gamemode <survival|creative|adventure>, you can write /gamemode survival,/gamemode creative, or /gamemode adventure.
  • Parameters between the [ and ] brackets is an optional parameter. When writing a command, you can omit the parameters. For example, in /lightning [[~]x [~]y], you can simply omit the X and Y parameters like so: /lightning.

Note that [~] is an optional modifier that can be added to coordinates, which makes it relative the player's location.
