UltraServers

Even though cheating in games is frowned upon, we wanted to share some useful cheats and commands that you can use while playing Minecraft. Like the saying goes; If you’re not cheating, you’re not trying.

Minecraft console commands and cheats can be very useful if you know how to utilize them, they allow you to fully customize the rules of your world. Some are good for single-player worlds and some are better for multiplayer worlds/servers.

List of Commands

To be able to enter these cheat codes and commands, you would want to open the chat by pressing “T” and “/” then familiarize yourself with the format of writing anything from the minecraft commands list.

In the command examples anything contained in <> is to be filled by the desired outcome of the command.

1. How to change game mode

/gamemode <survival, creative, spectator>

Changing game mode in Minecraft can be important if you want a change of pace in the game or just want to explore the different ways you can play. 

Game mode Survival is the default and requires you to fend for yourself and survive against attacking mobs.

Game mode Creative makes you immune to damage and gives you the ability to fly and have access to all blocks in the game, it’s best for those of you who want to show your creative side as a builder.

Spectator mode is strictly for viewing things, opposite to creative mode. It allows no breaking of blocks, so it’s best if you just want to have a look through floors and walls.

2. How to give a player OP 

/OP <@playername>

OP is a form of admin in Minecraft servers, it gives the player permission to write commands and change the permissions of other players, such as banning them. Players with OP can also edit command blocks.

3. How to teleport to players and places

/tp <playername> <playername> 
/tp <X,Y,Z>

When using the /tp command the player that wants to teleport comes first and the person you want to teleport to comes second in the command line. So if my friend Alex wants to teleport to Steve the command would be /tp Alex Steve

When teleporting to a specific location you can either use coordinates that you have saved or just some random ones that you want to test.

4. How to locate structures/biomes in game

/locate <structurename>
/locate <biomename>

The locate command has a wide variety of filling options, there are many biomes and structures to find in your Minecraft world. You can type the start of the structure or biome name and allow the autofill to help you find what you’re looking for.

5. How to give yourself any item in the game

/give <playername> Minecraft:<itemname>

The /give command is helpful to people who like to find things that aren’t easy to find and could be classed as secret. This command allows you to get command blocks which are an advancement of commands.

Barrier blocks are the perfect player item to troll your friends with on your multiplayer server and can only be obtained using this command.

12. How to kill all mobs in the area

/kill

The kill command is really only to be used in emergencies since it kills all mobs in the area, hostile or peaceful so you should be careful with this command. So if you accidentally spawn a wither boss, you now know what to do to keep your world peaceful and easy!

13. How to change the world spawn point
