Block eBay Buyer: This article teaches you how to create command blocks, which are blocks that perform specific commands, in Minecraft, both for computers and in Pocket Edition.
In order to create a usable command block, you must be in a creative world, and you must have cheats enabled.
You cannot create command blocks on the console edition of Minecraft.
On Java Edition
Click Singleplayer. It’s at the top of the Minecraft home page.
- You can also select Multiplayer here, though you will need to set up a multiplayer game through your own server before continuing.

Click Create New World. You’ll find this option on the lower-right side of the window.
- If you already have a creative world with cheats enabled, click it, then click Play Selected World and skip ahead to the “Press /” step.
Click Game Mode Survival twice. It will change to Game Mode: Hardcore, and then Game Mode: Creative. Since you can only use Command Blocks in creative mode, this is essential.
- While it is possible to spawn command blocks in survival mode, you cannot place nor use the blocks in any capacity.

Click Allow Cheats OFF. This will switch this option to say Allow Cheats: ON, which means that cheats are enabled for your game.
- If this option says Allow Cheats: ON already, cheats are enabled for your world.
Press /. The “slash” key should be on your computer’s keyboard; pressing it will bring up the command console at the bottom of the Minecraft screen.

Type give player command_block into the console. Make sure that you substitute your in-game name for “player” in the command.
- For example, if your in-game name is “potato skin”, you would enter give potatoSkin command_block here.
Place the command block on the ground. Right-click the ground with the command block equipped.

Edit the command block’s conditions. Click any of the following options to change the command block’s conditions:
- Impulse – The block will execute its command once per right-click. Click Impulse to switch to Chain, which makes the block run after the block behind it runs. Click Chain to switch to Repeat, which forces the block to run its command 20 times per second.
- Unconditional – The block has no conditions for operation. Click Unconditional to switch to Conditional, which will keep the block from running until a block behind it has run.
- Needs Redstone – The block is fueled by redstone and cannot run its command without it. Click Needs Redstone to switch the block to Always Active if you want to bypass the need for redstone.

Click Done. Your command block is now set up.
- If the command block is set to require redstone, you will need to apply redstone dust to the block in order to make it work.
On Pocket Edition
Open Minecraft. Choose the Minecraft app icon, which resembles a block of dirt with a tuft of grass on top of it.
- This app may be named Minecraft, Minecraft Pocket Edition, or Minecraft for Windows 10 depending on the platform you are using.
Choose Play. It’s in the middle of the screen.

Choose Create New. This option is at the top of the screen.
- If you already have a creative Minecraft world with cheats enabled, select it, then skip to the “Enter the command block command” step.
Choose Continue when prompted. This enables both creative mode and cheats for your current world.

Enter the command block command. Type /give player command block, making sure to substitute your own name for the “player” part of the command.
