Minecraft: All Cheats and Commands (2026, Updated)

Minecraft allows the use of commands and cheats that make many tasks within the game easier. These commands remain valid in 2026, although their behavior may vary depending on the version and platform.

On PC and mobile, they are generally available, while on consoles some commands may not be enabled. Additionally, on specific servers, certain commands may not work or may be modified.

Important aspects before using commands

Before getting started, it is important to keep the following in mind:

• When creating a world, the game asks whether you want to enable cheats. To use them, you must accept.
• If cheats are enabled, achievements cannot be unlocked in that world.
• On public servers, the use of commands may be restricted.
• Due to the changes the game has undergone over the years, some commands may change or stop working depending on the version.

How to enter commands in Minecraft

There is no need to open a special console. Commands are written directly in the in-game chat.

• On PC, the chat is opened by pressing the T key.
• On the mobile version, there is a specific button to open the chat.

All commands start with / and must be written exactly as shown, respecting spaces, underscores, uppercase and lowercase letters.
