The primary command is "/tp," offering many variations and parameters for precise movement. You can teleport to a player, specific coordinates, or even control your viewing direction. You can even move creatures!
Here are the key command functions:
Command Name | Action |
---|---|
/tp | Teleports you to another player. |
/tp | Allows server admins/operators to move a player. |
/tp | Teleports you to specific coordinates. |
/tp | Sets viewing direction (yaw = horizontal, pitch = vertical). |
/tp @e[type= | Teleports all creatures of a specified type to given coordinates. |
/tp @e[type=creeper,limit=1] | Teleports only one of the nearest creatures of a specified type. |
/tp @e | Teleports all entities (players, creatures, items, boats). Use with caution; may lag the server. |
On servers, command availability depends on player permissions. Operators and admins have full access; regular players need permission.

The "/locate" command is useful for finding structures like villages or strongholds. Combined with "/tp," you can quickly find and teleport to a location.
The "/tp" command is disabled by default in Survival Mode. You can enable it by activating cheats when creating the world, using a command block, having admin rights on a server, or installing plugins like EssentialsX.

Command blocks automate teleportation. To enable them in multiplayer, allow them in server settings, then obtain the block using "/give @p command_block". Place the block, enter your command, and connect a lever or button to activate it.
Servers often have custom teleportation commands. Availability depends on your role. Admins, moderators, and donators usually have more options; regular players may have restrictions.
Common server commands:
Check server rules before teleporting; some servers have restrictions, delays, or penalties for teleporting during combat.

"You do not have permission" means you lack the necessary permissions. Ask an admin for permission or enable cheats in singleplayer.
"Incorrect argument" indicates a typing error. Double-check your command and arguments. If you teleport underground, ensure your Y coordinate is high enough (64 or higher is recommended).
Delays may be due to server settings intentionally added to prevent cheating.
Ensure your destination is safe. On servers, use "/tpa" to avoid accidental teleports. Set a return point with "/sethome" before exploring new areas. When teleporting to unknown locations, bring potions or a totem of undying.
Minecraft teleportation is a powerful tool for efficient navigation and gameplay. Use it wisely to enhance, not disrupt, your gaming experience!
