All Minecraft commands on Android: a complete guide

If you play on mobile and want to master all the Minecraft commands on Android , you're in the right place. Console cheats let you change the time, weather, difficulty, teleport, summon creatures, enchant items, and manage servers like a pro—all from your smartphone screen.

Throughout this guide, you'll learn how to activate cheats correctly, write commands without errors, and use parameters and coordinates like a pro (and if you also play on PC, check out our PC command guide ). You'll also find a huge list of commands already adapted for mobile, with clear explanations and practical examples, so all you have to do is copy, paste, and enjoy.

Requirements for using commands in Minecraft on Android

Before typing anything in the chat, it is essential to create a world with the correct settings , because otherwise the commands will not work even if you type them correctly.

First, open the game you have installed from Google Play or the App Store (this also works for iPhone , but we're focusing on Android here). Once it loads, go to the Play option on the main screen.

Within the Play menu, select Create New > Create New World . Here you'll design a world from scratch where you'll use all the Minecraft tricks on Android, so take a minute to configure everything to your liking.

On that screen you can choose the world name, difficulty, world type (normal, superflat, etc.), and game mode . This part is free: Survival, Creative, Adventure… whatever you want. The important information for the controls is a little further down.

Scroll to the Player Permissions section when joining from an invite and change it to Operator . This gives you full control over commands and also allows other players who join via invite to execute certain commands, based on your settings.

Just below, you'll see the Cheats option . You must activate the switch to enable its use in that world. Once you do, the game also enables the Command Block option , which is necessary if you ever want to automate commands or create advanced adventure maps.

Once you've reviewed these options, tap the Create button (located in the bottom left corner of the screen on most mobile devices). From then on, that world will have cheats enabled, and you'll be able to use all Minecraft commands on Android without technical restrictions.

There's an important detail: checking the cheat box permanently disables achievements for that world . In other words, you can continue playing exactly the same way, but you won't unlock achievements in that playthrough. It's a classic trade-off: total freedom in exchange for giving up achievements.

Furthermore, if you enter other people's worlds or servers, the use of commands always depends on the administrator . Even if you know all the tricks, if the server owner has disabled commands or hasn't given you operator privileges, you won't be able to execute them, or some simply won't do anything.

How to open the chat and type commands on your mobile phone

On PC, you simply press the T key to open the chat, but on Android, the system is different. To use Minecraft commands on Android , you have to open the chat from the game's HUD.

While you're in the game world, look at the top of the screen: you'll see a speech bubble icon near the pause button. Tap it to open the chat and commands window.

When the chat opens, tap the gray bar that says something like "Type a message ." Your phone's keyboard will automatically appear, ready for you to type. Each command must always begin with / , followed by the command name and its parameters. For example: /gamemode 1.

The mobile version of Minecraft includes autocompletion for commands and names . If you type, for example, /time followed by a space or a letter, the game will suggest subcommands like set or add , as well as possible values. This is very useful for avoiding spelling mistakes, especially with English names.

Keep in mind that all commands respect spaces, underscores, and uppercase and lowercase letters in internal names. Although many identifiers are lowercase, it's best to copy what the game itself suggests to avoid confusion. The colon (:) you see in some guides is not part of the command; it's only used as a separator in the explanations.

Shortcuts for selecting players and entities

Many tricks allow you to apply effects, give objects, or kill entities to one or more targets. Instead of always typing the full name, you can use quick selectors with @ , which are very convenient on mobile.

These are the basic shortcuts that work in Minecraft Bedrock (the mobile edition):

• @p: select the nearest player to the origin of the command (usually you).
• @r: choose a random player in the world.
• @a: affects all players connected.
• @e: encompasses all entities (mobs, loose objects, arrows, etc.).
• @s: refers to the entity that executes the command, very useful alongside command blocks.

For example, using ` /effect @a minecraft:speed 60 2` would apply a level 2 speed effect for 60 seconds to all players. On mobile, it's typed the same way as on PC, just using the touch keyboard.

Coordinates and movement in the world

To teleport, clone structures, or summon creatures at specific points, you need to understand Minecraft's X, Y, and Z coordinates . Understanding them is key if you want to get the most out of the commands.

Within the game, the coordinates are interpreted as follows:

• XEast/West axis. Positive values ​​increase towards the This and the negative ones towards the West.
• Y: height. Positive numbers go up upwards and the negatives decrease towards the bottom of the world.
• Z: South/North axis. The positive value increases towards the Speaking on and the negative towards the North.

You should enable the "Show coordinates" option in Settings > Chat and HUD so you always see your position on screen. Otherwise, you'll have to try commands like /tp @p ~ ~ ~ just to check your exact location.

In addition to absolute coordinates (normal numbers), you can use relative coordinates with the tilde ~ . For example, in /tp @p ~10 ~ ~-5 , you move 10 blocks East and 5 blocks North relative to your current position, maintaining the same height.

Commands for time and weather in Android

Being the master of the clock and the sky is one of the most common uses of commands. With just a couple of words, you can set off endless sunrises, endless nights, or lightning storms whenever you want.

Basic time commands:

• / time set day: change the time to broad daylight.
• / time set night: whatever force it may be pitch black night.
• / time set 0: place the clock in dawn.
• / time set 6000: adjust to midday.
• / time set 12000: places There en sunset.
• / time set 18000: sets the time in midnight.
• /time add: add the indicated number of ticks to the playing time.
• / time query gametime: consult the total game time in ticks.

To check if the day is progressing or standing still:

• / gamerule doDaylightCycle false: The day and night cycle stops, time is frozen.
• /gamerule doDaylightCycle true: reactivates the normal passage of time.

Weather commands in Minecraft for Android:

• / weather clear: establishes a clear sky, without rain or storms.
• / weather rain: begins to to rain.
• / weather thunder: activate rain with electric storm.
• / gamerule doWeatherCycle false: blocks the current weather, without automatic gear changes.
• /gamerule doWeatherCycle trueLet the weather only change again.

Change difficulty and game modes

If the world feels too small or too difficult, with a couple of commands you can adjust the difficulty or change game mode on the fly, without going to the menu.

Difficulty commands:

• / difficulty peaceful: activates the Pacific mode, without hostile mobs and with fast regeneration.
• / difficulty easy: sets the difficulty in Easy.
• / difficulty normalConfigure the game in Normal.
• / difficulty hard: raise everything to Hard, with more lethal enemies.

Commands to change the game type:

• / gamemode 0: goes to Survival.
• / gamemode 1: changes to Creativewith infinite inventory, flight, and no damage.
• / gamemode 2: go into Adventure, ideal for maps where blocks cannot be broken freely.
• / gamemode 3: activates the mode Viewerto pass through blocks and observe without interacting.

Remember that if you just want to have all the items without typing anything, you can start the world directly in Creative mode from the main menu . This way you'll have your entire inventory available, you'll fly without the risk of falling, and monsters will hardly appear, which is perfect for building at your leisure.

Item commands, enchantments, and experience

One of the most powerful uses of cheats is managing your character's inventory and powers. With just a few commands, you can add items, enchant equipment, and level up instantly.

• / enchant name character name enchantment level enchantment

Keep in mind several details when using this command on Android:

• numberpersonaje It's your nickname in the game (or another player's).
• nameenchantment It can be him internal name in English (for example, fire_protection, sharpness) or your ID.
• enchantment level It is optional and marks the level of enchantment (for example, 3 for Fire Protection III).
• As soon as you start typing the name of the enchantment, the game will display autocomplete suggestionswhich helps a lot to avoid mistakes with underscores and spelling.

Real example: /enchant SaiSaEr fire_protection 3 would apply Fire Protection level 3 to the item held in the hand of the player named SaiSaEr.

To obtain any object using commands:

• / give charactername objectname quantity

This trick gives you brutal control over your inventory, because you can instantly generate blocks, weapons, armor, or crafting materials , or give them to other players:

• numberpersonaje: the player who will receive the item (for example, you or @p).
• numberobjecto: the item's internal identifier, usually in English and with underscores (for example, diamond_block, iron_helmet, diamond_pickaxe).
• cantidadobjeto: how many units you want to appear in the inventory.

Practical example on Android: /give @p diamond 64 gives 64 diamonds to yourself, while /give friend123 netherite_sword 1 gives a netherite sword to your friend.

To manage the experience you can use:

• /experience add charactername quantity: add the amount of experience that you indicate to the selected player.

Teleportation and creature summoning

Walking for miles is fine at first, but once you know the tricks, it's a bit pointless. With teleportation and summoning commands, you can appear wherever you want or bring specific mobs to the exact location you need.

Basic teleport commands in Minecraft for Android:

• /tp name XYZ: teleports to indicated player to the absolute coordinates XY Z.
• /tp yourname yourfriend'sname: it moves you to the other player's position.
• /tp yourfriend'sname yournameBring your friend up to where you are.
• /teleport character name XYZ: longer variant of the same command, does the same thing as /tp.
• /teleport charactername ~X ~Y: teleports in a horizontal plane, using relative values ​​on the X and Z axes.

When using absolute coordinates, be careful with the height (Y) . If you spawn too high up, you can die from a fall, and if you enter the wrong number, you could end up embedded in rock or even in a lava lake. Relative coordinates (~) are usually safer, although there's always the risk of spawning in an awkward spot.

To summon NPCs and creatures, the command is:

• / summon name XYZ

In this case, name is the entity you want to summon (for example, skeleton , pig , horse , spider , creeper , minecraft:ender_dragon , etc.).

The XYZ coordinates are optional; if you don't include them, the creature will appear next to you . If you include them, it will spawn at that exact point on the map. This is perfect for creating combat arenas or filling an area with villagers at once.

A particularly brutal example would be `/summon minecraft:ender_dragon ~ ~ ~` , which spawns an Ender Dragon directly above your current position. Use it with caution if you don't want to see your world burn.

Entity control: kill, freeze, and modify attributes

In addition to moving and summoning entities, the commands allow you to remove players or mobs , and even freeze everything that moves in the world.

The most direct command is:

• / kill

Used on its own, /kill kills the entity executing the command (usually yourself). But you can also specify a target:

• /kill playername: kills a specific player.
• /kill @e: eliminates all creepers in the world.
• /kill @e: Deletes all entities (mobs, objects, projectiles, etc.). Only use it if you know what you're doing.

In addition, there are advanced commands to manipulate the behavior of entities:

• / attribute: query, add or modify attributes such as maximum lifespan, speed, or strength of an entity.
• / effect: applies or removes status effects (poison, speed, invisibility, etc.).
• / freeze: stops all entities of the departure, leaving everything standing still.

These tricks are especially useful for creating temporary events on servers, PVP arenas, or custom adventure maps , even from your own mobile phone.

World management: cloning, refilling, saving, and more

Besides controlling your character, Minecraft commands on Android include a whole host of tools for massive world editing . They're not as well-known as /time or /tp, but they make all the difference when you want to build quickly or manage servers.

Some key commands are:

• / clone: copies blocks of from one region to another of the map.
• / fill: fill an area with the block of your choice (very useful for building walls, floors or clearing areas).
• / forceload: requires that certain chunks always remain loadedeven if there are no players nearby.
• /worldborder: manages the edges of the worldallowing the playable area to be limited.
• /spreadplayers: teleports entities or players to random locations within a region.
• / save y / save-allThey prepare, consult, or execute backup of the world on the server or on the disk.

There are also more commands designed for administrators and map creators:

• / function: executes a predefined command function.
• /schedule: delays the execution of a function in the time.
• /date: obtains, merges or modifies NBT data of entities or blocks.
• / datapack (more common on PC): controls the data packets loaded.

If you want to see exactly where you are or share your world with others, you'll be interested in:

• / seed: shows the seed of the worldThat is, the code with which it was generated, and it serves to find structures in Minecraft.
• /setmaxplayers: sets the maximum number of players allowed in the world.
• /stopsound: stops specific sounds for one player or for all players.

Administration, moderation, and chat commands

In servers and shared worlds, it's not all about building; you also have to manage players, bans, and permissions . Minecraft on mobile includes a wide range of commands for this.

To manage operators and permissions:

• /op playername: grants operator status to a player.
• /deop playername: revokes that operator status.
• /worldbuilder: enables or disables the ability to edit restricted blocks.
• /worldbuilder combined with / classroommode: especially useful in educational settings.

Commands for bans and blacklists:

• /ban playername: Bane to a player.
• /ban-ip IP address: add a IP address added to the banned list.
• / banlist: shows the banned list.
• /pardon playername o /pardon-ip: removes entries from the blacklist so they can come back in.

To communicate via chat or send private messages:

• /msg playername text: send a private message to another player.
• /tell y /w They are variants that work the same.
• /help CommandNameThe game shows you information about that commandVery useful if you're learning.

Finally, some general utility commands:

• /clear playername: empty the Inventory of a player.
• / dropstore: drops all items from the inventory and the store in a chest.
• / loot: makes objects fall to the ground from an inventory.
• / collect: collects all objects within a block close (very closely linked to the Agent in Education Edition).
• /camerashake: creates a shaky camera effect.
• / bossbar: It allows create and modify boss bars.

Special tricks: damage, plants, instant mining, and more

Beyond the official console commands, many Minecraft variants (especially Education Edition or certain configurations) have additional cheats that modify very specific game rules . Some of the most notable are:

• /instantplant: makes all plants grow instantly.
• /instantmine: It allows break any block with a single bloweven if you use normal tools.
• /superheat: converts instantly objects to their melted version.
• / duplicate: duplicates the object that you have in your hand and drops it to the ground.
• /ride: place a mount the creature that you're looking at.
• / atlantis: goes up sea ​​and ocean levels at exaggerated levels.

You can also disable different types of damage to create "painless" worlds:

• / waterdamage: turns the on or off water damage.
• / falldamage: controls the fall damage.
• / firedamage: turns the on or off fire damage.
• / itemdamage: allows objects to be wear out or stay new forever.

And of course, one of everyone's favorites:

• / gamerule keepInventory true: makes it so that when you die keep all your inventorywithout losing absolutely anything.

This is ideal on servers with friends, where having fun is more important than suffering over every silly death.

Command blocks, Education Edition, and agent commands

When you enable cheats on Android, the game also enables command blocks . Although they're used somewhat less on mobile than on PC, they're still a fantastic tool for automating tasks.

In the Education Edition variant and in educational worlds there are specific commands related to the Agent and programming :

• / code: opens or manages the connection to the programming tool through code.
• / createagent: creates a Agent in your current position.
• / classroommode: unlocks restricted blocks and options for teachers.
• / immutableworld: establishes whether the world is immutableThat is, if the blocks cannot be modified.

Combined with selectors like @s and /execute commands, these systems allow you to design adventure maps, educational minigames, or guided tours directly from an Android device.

Relationship between commands and mods in Android

In recent years, the use of mods in Minecraft PE for Android has become very popular . These community-created packages add new items, mobs, biomes, quests, and mechanics that go far beyond what the base game offers.

In general, mods and commands work well together , but there are cases where certain mods block or modify the behavior of some commands . For example, a mod might change how mobs or inventory are managed, causing `/summon` or `/give` to not work as expected.

The problem is that there's no universal way to know beforehand if a mod will interfere with your cheats . Sometimes you notice it because a command stops working, or because error messages appear in the chat. You'll have to experiment and, if something goes wrong, disable the conflicting mod.

Even so, most players agree that, in the long run, mods offer more depth than console commands . Many mods incorporate systems that replace or expand upon what was previously done with console commands, offering more user-friendly interfaces and more advanced configurations. So don't be afraid to combine both worlds: console commands for quick adjustments and mods to completely transform your gameplay.

Mastering all the Minecraft commands on Android gives you enormous control over your experience: you can fine-tune time and weather, move around the map in seconds, create events with mobs, protect your inventory, and manage servers effortlessly. With the commands you've seen, plus the game's autocomplete feature and a little practice, your phone becomes a true administration console for the blocky world, ready for you to design everything from adventure maps to servers with fully customized rules.
