Minecraft Cheat Sheet

 

    When creating a new Minecraft world you’ll be prompted to choose whether or not to allow cheats. After selecting yes and loading up the world, you’ll need to press the “C” key to pull up the command bar, which is where you’ll be inputting all your cheats and commands.

Target selector shortcuts
@p – nearest player
@r – random player
@a – all players
@e – all entities
@s – the entity executing the command
Target selector variables set a specific target without typing out their full name. Above are the five different shorthand commands. You’ll get used to seeing these when playing on the best Minecraft servers.

Give
/give <Player> <Item> [Amount]

Teleport
