How to Use the Command Block

The command block is activated in the game upon receiving a Redstone signal. To ask it a command, you need to open its interface by pressing RMB /

The following commands can be assigned to the command block:

• @p – nearest player;
• @a – all players (if possible);
• @r – random player;
• @e – all entities.

For example, the closest player can be written like this: / w @p [message]

The player pointer can be expanded using commands specified in square brackets, separated by commas (for example, @p [r = 10, m = 0]). Available commands:

• x – X coordinate of the search center (if you put the value ~, then the search center will be the command block itself).
• y – Y coordinate of the search center (if you set the value ~, then the command block itself will be the search center).
• z – Z coordinate of the search center (if you put the value ~, then the command block itself will be the search center).
• r – maximum search radius.
• rm – minimum search radius.
• m – game mode.
• l – maximum experience level.
• lm – minimum experience level.
• name – player’s nickname.

C is a special command for @a. It limits the number of players to which the command will be applied. For example, @a [c = 10] will take the 10 first players from the list, @a [c = -10] will take the 10 last players from the list.
