The Command Block is a block added by Minecraft. It can be used to execute commands.

Guide[edit]

Before MC 1.9[edit]

Player can place down a Command Block and right-click it in creative mode. That will open a GUI with 2 rows: player can enter command in top one and supply a redstone signal to Command Block, the bottom one will then contain command output (if any) and command will be executed like player did it themselves.

MC 1.9 and higher[edit]

The Command Block now has several additional modes:

  • Impulse - same as before.
  • Chain - it will only activate itself, when a command block on opposite side of its arrow is activated.
  • Repeating - it will run 20 times per seconds.

Every Command Block has two further options that can be toggled:

  • Conditional / Unconditional - a Command Block set to "Conditional" will only be activated, if the Command Block before it run successfully.
  • Needs Redstone / Always Active - a Command Block set to "Always Active" won't need a redstone signal to be activated.

Usage[edit]

Command Block can be used to create the following items:
