How To Use Console Commands in Minecraft
There are two ways you can use console commands in Minecraft. One is through the in-game chat box and the second one is through a command block. However, if you’re playing in a single-player world, you must enable “Allow Cheats” when creating the world. Alternatively, you can temporarily enable cheats by selecting “Open to LAN” in the in-game menu and turning on “Allow Commands” before starting a LAN session.
The console commands can be a bit confusing. Here is what you need to know:
