How to Enter the Command

1. Open the Chat Window

The easiest way to run a command in Minecraft is within the chat window. The game control to open the chat window depends on the version of Minecraft:

• For Java Edition (PC/Mac), press the T key to open the chat window.
• For Pocket Edition (PE), tap on the chat button at the top of the screen.
• For Xbox One, press the D-Pad (right) on the controller.
• For PS4, press the D-Pad (right) on the controller.
• For Nintendo Switch, press the right arrow button on the controller.
• For Windows 10 Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.
• For Education Edition, press the T key to open the chat window.

2. Type the Command

In this example, we are going to summon an axolotl in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.20 with the following command:

/summon axolotl

Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.

Once the cheat has been entered, the axolotl will spawn and appear in your world:

You will see the message "Summoned new Axolotl" appear in the lower left corner of the game window to indicate that the axolotl has been summoned. You may need to look behind you to see it.

TIP: The new axolotl will probably be headed in the direction of the nearest body of water, since it can only survive for 5 minutes (or 6,000 game ticks) outside of water before it will die.

Congratulations, you have summoned an axolotl in Minecraft.
