Do commands disable achievements in Minecraft Bedrock?

Yes. The moment you activate cheats in a world — which commands require — achievements are permanently disabled for that world. Copy the world first if you want to keep earning them.

How do I open the command line in Bedrock?

Open chat: press T on PC, the right D-pad button on Xbox, or tap the chat icon on mobile. Type the command starting with a forward slash and press Enter.

What is the most useful Bedrock command?

For exploration, /locate, which gives coordinates for the nearest structure or biome. For everyday play, /gamerule keepInventory true and /tp save the most frustration.

Can I use commands without cheats on a server?

Only if the server owner gives you operator status with /op. Regular players cannot run commands in a cheats-off world.

Minecraft Bedrock Commands: Full List and How to Use Them

Home › Minecraft › Minecraft Bedrock Commands: Full List and How to Use Them

Commands are Minecraft Bedrock's built-in cheat codes: short text instructions that can teleport you across the world, summon any mob, change the weather, hand you any item, or reshape your server's rules. Some are simple convenience tools. Others, like /execute and /scoreboard, are powerful enough to build entire mini-games. Here is how to switch them on, and what every command does.

How to Enable Commands in Bedrock

Commands only work in worlds with cheats enabled. You can do it at world creation, or in an existing world like this:

Pause the game and open Settings, then go to the Game section.
Scroll down to the Cheats section.
Turn on Activate Cheats.

There is one serious catch: turning on cheats disables achievements in that world for good. Copy the world first if you care about your achievements.

To type a command, open chat — T on PC, the right D-pad button on Xbox, the touchpad on PlayStation, or the chat icon on mobile — then type the command starting with a / and press Enter. Commands also run from command blocks.

The Commands You Will Actually Use

Most players live on a handful of commands. /locate is the explorer's best friend — it hands you coordinates for the nearest village, stronghold, ancient city or biome. /tp gets you there. /gamemode switches modes for scouting a build site, and /gamerule keepInventory true is the most popular quality-of-life change in the game.

Server Admin Commands

Running a multiplayer world? Learn /op and /deop for permissions, /kick and /list for moderation, /setmaxplayers for capacity, and /changesetting for changing settings in-game. Combine /say with /title for announcements.

Building With Commands

For builders, the magic trio is /fill, /clone and /setblock. Fill can raise a hollow room in one line; clone copies a build anywhere; and /structure saves a build so you can paste it into another world. Add a command block — obtained with /give @s command_block — to run them automatically.

Start small: enable cheats on a test world, try /time set day and /weather clear, then graduate to /locate and /tp.
