The player wears an avatar that can destroy or create blocks, forming fantastic structures, creations, and works of art on various multiplayer servers in multiple game modes. Here's how to enable cheats in the created world.

NoteThe use of cheats: Both versions of Minecraft allow the use of cheats, but keep in mind that the use of cheats also blocks you from obtaining achievements in the world.

And if you've already created a world without cheats, but want to enable them:

1. While in your world, press the Esc key on your keyboard, the Start/Options button on your controller, or the Pause icon on the touch screen to pause the game.

2. Select “Settings” and in the “Game Settings” menu that opens, scroll down to the “Cheats” section.

Some simple tricks for Minecraft

All cheats are entered into the chat window as if you were talking to another player. You can open the chat window by pressing T on the keyboard or the right button of the D-pad on the controller.

Here are some powerful cheat codes to start the game.

quick tipIf you're having trouble knowing exactly what to type after a particular command, take a look at the screen above the chat window. It usually offers hints as you type, letting you know how to execute most cheat commands.

/give to spawn any item

This allows you to give yourself - or another player in your world - any amount of almost any item. You write it as /give PlayerName ItemName Quantity.

For example, if your username is JohnDoe and you want to give yourself 30 diamonds, you would type /give JohnDoe diamond 30.

If you don't know your username, you can type @s instead.

/time to change time

This allows you to start or stop rain and storms.

Just type /clear weather, /rainy weather, or /thunder weather.

You can also use the /time command to change the day and night cycle.

/tp to teleport anywhere

This command allows you to teleport anywhere in the world, as well as other dimensions, such as the Nether and The End.

There are many different ways to use this command, so check out our full article on how to teleport in Minecraft for more details.

/gamemode to change the game mode

Did you start your Minecraft world in Creative Mode, but now want to try Survival? No need to create a new save file, just use the cheats.

With cheats, you can switch between Creative, Survival, Adventure, and Spectator modes on the fly. For more information on how to change game modes, check out our article.

/kill – Annihilates all enemies in the area

If you find a cave full of creepers you don't want to deal with, you can kill them all in one fell swoop with the /kill command. Enter it as follows: /kill @e[type=EnemyName].

So if you want to destroy all creepers in the area, type /kill @e[type=creeper]. Note that this will only destroy the ones that have already spawned, it will not prevent new ones from spawning.

The /kill command affects any "entities" spawned.

quick tipIf you open the chat window and press the up arrow on your keyboard or up on the D-pad on your controller, you can quickly retype the last command you entered. Use it to save time when repeating commands.

This is everything you need to know about how to activate the traps in the world you create in Minecraft.
