Required Materials

In Minecraft, these are the required materials to use a command block:

1 Command Block TIP: Read our tutorial called Understanding the Coordinate System to learn about the XYZ coordinates in Minecraft and how to find your current coordinates.

Program the Command Block

First, you need to program the command block to teleport a player with the /tp command by providing a set of XYZ coordinates. This /tp command will be run each time the command block is activated.

So, stand in front of the command block with your pointer (the plus sign) on the command block and click on the right mouse button.

This will bring up the programming console for the command block.

Now, type your command in the "Console Command" text box. We use the /tp command to teleport the player.

TIP: When you are using command blocks, you have certain values that you can use to target players:

@p - targets the nearest player@r - targets a random player@a - targets all players@e - targets all entities

• Win10

Command in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Command in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11 and 1.12:

/tp @p 85 72 -200

Command in Minecraft Pocket Edition (PE)

Command in Minecraft Pocket Edition (PE):

/tp @p 85 72 -200

Command in Minecraft Windows 10 Edition

Command in Minecraft Windows 10 Edition:

/tp @p 85 72 -200

Command in Minecraft Education Edition

Command in Minecraft Education Edition:

/tp @p 85 72 -200

In this example, we are going to teleport the nearest player to a specific set of XYZ coordinates. The @p is used to target the player that is closest to the command block. The coordinates 85 72 -200 are specific XYZ coordinates of the location where you want to teleport the player.

When you are finished entering the command, click on the Done button.

Activate the Command Block

Now, activate the command block with the redstone device such as a lever, button, or pressure plate. In this example, we have placed a stone pressure plate next to the command block.

When a player stands on the pressure plate, the command block will be activated.

Now the player should be teleported to the desired coordinates.

Congratulations, you have learned how to program a command block to teleport a player to another place in the game.
